'Text Escape: Apocalypse', an escape room game developed and published by Chi-roon Games, was officially released on the 1st. The game features a post-apocalyptic journey where the narrative is presented through text and block-based visual elements. By utilizing hyper-minimalist symbols, the developer aims to immerse players in the deductive puzzle-solving that defines the genre.

The story begins with a typical office worker witnessing a disaster on their commute home. After a week of hiding, zombies breach the living room, and the protagonist begins their escape for survival. The game consists of 14 stages, taking players from their home through various urban locations such as parks, banks, and construction sites. Each zone contains independent puzzles that are tightly woven into a cohesive narrative.

Controls are simplified to mouse-based clicking, holding, and dragging. Players must use these to search for clues, acquire items, and interact with various objects to overcome obstacles. Instead of high-fidelity graphics, the game communicates information through blocks, colors, and text. The game officially supports a Korean interface and subtitles, enhancing convenience for domestic players.

The game is priced at 4,500 won, with a 33 percent launch discount available until February 15th, bringing the price down to 3,010 won. A demo is also available for players to check the game content before purchasing.
