Then it’s dinner time, followed by a rousing head-count speech and bed.
THE ESCAPISTS CRAFTING GUIDE MOBILE FREE
There’s a few hours after that to take care of mundane tasks, like the laundry, before some free time to actually get on with crafting, escaping, or whatever else your objective is. Then, you have a block of time to get your ass to breakfast to recharge and chat with your fellow survivors. At the crack of dawn, it’s time for a head-count, to make sure everyone’s still alive and to deliver one of Rick Grimes’ inspirational speeches (they get hammier as time goes on). Time passes quickly in The Escapists: The Walking Dead, and your day is split up into several sections. Take for example the ‘Routine’, one of the mechanics both the original and this spin-off hinge on. The formula applied to The Walking Dead universe is a little ham-fisted, but you can see the logic in it, as well as the humour. The Escapists is an indie prison escape game published through Team-17 at the start of the year, taking the form of a pixellated top-down RPG largely concerned with crafting and sneaking. The pairing of The Walking Dead with The Escapists does seem a little odd. This has continued into the virtual world, as you can not only get your Telltale Walking Dead fix, but Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, Walking Dead Pinball FX2 and now The Escapists: The Walking Dead. It’s become a phenomenon, a brand stamped on everything from table lamps to guitars, and a property now perhaps even more synonymous with zombie horror than the classics like Night of the Living Dead. I’m not even sure if it’s just a franchise at this sage. The Walking Dead is no longer just a comic series.
