On Escapee

On Escapee

onEscapee (Pronounced One Escapee, to reflect the nature of the protagonist) is an action/adventure video game, developed by Invictus Games, Ltd. and published by the UK-Based (and now defunct) Sadeness Software for the Commodore Amiga 1200. It was published in CD format, which was unusual for the period since the Amiga 1200 was not fitted with a CD drive, with users being required to purchase an additional external CD-ROM drive (or re-house the computer to fit an internal drive) in order to run software from discs. Invictus would later re-release the software in 2004 as freeware for the PC to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the company's founding. It is very similar to Another World and Flashback: The Quest for Identity in gameplay and features similar rotoscoped, hand-drawn graphics.

Since Invictus is a Hungarian team, to make the game as international as possible, text and speech was kept to a minimum. As a result, the game has support for over 17 languages. The only language featured in the game is in the music used in the titles and in one scene of the game, the menus, help text and the opening FMV sequence.
