ESCAPE FROM E.D.E.N
“Did you know, that in the time of darkness, before salvation, when the fallen ones walked the earth. When the human family was brought to its knees, subjugated by machines of malice. There stood one, who despite all the odds, would change the course of human history forever... It all began with the push of a button."
Escape From E.D.E.N. is a short, first-person sci-fi exploration game. It’s an experience where every trial has been carefully set to tell a poignant story—a story about struggle, hope, and the miracle of perseverance. You play as "The Savior" of a desolate wasteland known as E.D.E.N. Exploring the hazardous landscape reveals clues and vignettes which help the player answer the question of will power —and how one can break free from oppression.
Key features:
- A quiet, non-linear story told by a future survivor of E.D.E.N
- Inspired by a plethora of science fiction stories, movies, and tv-shows
- A 15-30 minute experience that can be completed in one sitting
- An experience that focuses on atmosphere and platforming rather than action or puzzles
- Beautiful atmospheric music
- A rich, detailed environment that rewards players who explore with story insights and a meaningful ending

Your game oozes atmosphere and intrigue. You did a great job with the visuals, paired with the music and sense of isolation. It was worth the download and play. A great first effort!
That's the best news I've heard all day, thank you! Glad to see more people playing E.F.E!
To start off, the opening is truly immersive. With the camera work, the narration, the music. It all comes together to make an awesome opening. One that you don't find in most indie games at this level. The world felt so filled with story and intrigue. I was egar to explore around more! Though it took me a while to get to some places, it was worth it to see the interesting environments made for each place. I totally recommend this game to anyone looking for a very interesting indie game to try out.
I cannot wait to see what else you make in the future!!
This means everything! Thanks so much for the support Austin! See you in the next one!
Great game!
Awesome vid! Thanks for posting this!
A very worthy first game. It's a rather dark, tense, but still hopeful experience that takes you across a big lonesome desert and through fun jumping puzzles. And the escape in the end is exciting. Solid!
Thank you for the kind words!
This game has such a good atmosphere. From the music to the look and feel of the game. Everything makes it such a good game to just be in, let alone play.
It's a platformer at it's core, and the platforming challenges are...well...challenging! In a good way. You probably will die multiple times, but the game doesn't punish you for it.
For a game made as quickly as it was, this is a quite good game!
Super happy to have you play this! Thanks for everything!
