ESC/APE is a first-person, physics-based combat game starring Abe, a genetically enhanced ape. Slide, ground pound, and throw your way through brutal trials to prove you’re the apex specimen and finally break free from the lab that caged you.

**A student team project designed to deliver a ~10 minute experience.ESC/APE throws you into the role of Abe, a genetically enhanced ape bred for combat and locked away in a sterile testing facility. After a lifetime of experiments, you’re finally given a chance to prove your worth, and the chance to break free!<video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4049320/extras/487255f73a7b55ca696201511d819e5c.poster.avif?t=1760642097" width=900 height=320 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4049320/extras/487255f73a7b55ca696201511d819e5c.webm?t=1760642097" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4049320/extras/487255f73a7b55ca696201511d819e5c.mp4?t=1760642097" type="video/mp4"></video>Master momentum and raw power in fast-paced, physics-driven combat. Slide under hazards, ground pound enemies into the floor, and hurl objects; or your foes themselves, into walls with bone-crushing force.
