About the game
Embark on a series of standalone adventures in which YOU will be the main character, during which to move forward you must solve mysterious puzzles to avoid all the traps and obstacles in your way. But beware! Only faultless logic and clever deduction will let you beat all the riddles and advance through the story. Will you be up to the challenge? Escape Quest is an adventure gamebook series born of a collaboration between Ynnis’ publishing team and Don’t Panic Games’ design team. It is the fruit of all our combined knowledge of game design and book publishing. Much more than just a “gamified book” or a “book-like game”, we put great care in conceiving each of those volumes - collaborating with award-winning game designers, authors and illustrators - to create an immersive, fun experience that is both a great book and a great game. ALONE IN SALEM You say witch like it’s a bad thing! You are on vacation and treating yourself to a famous “Salem Witch Tour” in the village well-known for its witch trials centuries before. But when you decide to leave your group, the visit quickly turns into an occult nightmare! Find your way into the museum and escape the clutches of a mysterious cult. Signs and omens are everywhere, and your doom seems unavoidable. Will you have the wits to survive? Alone in Salem, do you have what it takes to make it through the night? —description from the publisher
