Go Escape!

There is one way out to reach freedom. Can you escape?

Go Escape! is a puzzle game developed by Kumobius and published by Square Enix. The game was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Windows in 2021.

Gameplay

In Go Escape!, players control a group of up to four characters who must escape from a series of rooms. Each room is a puzzle that must be solved in order to progress. The puzzles are based on the rules of the board game Go.

In Go, players place black and white stones on a 19x19 grid. The goal of the game is to surround more territory than your opponent. In Go Escape!, players use the same rules to solve puzzles. For example, players may need to place stones in a way that creates a path for their characters to escape.

Characters

There are four playable characters in Go Escape!:

* Hikaru Shindo: A young boy who is a skilled Go player.

* Akira Toya: A professional Go player who is Hikaru's rival.

* Sai: A mysterious girl who is also a skilled Go player.

* Waya: A young boy who is Hikaru's friend.

Each character has their own unique abilities that can be used to solve puzzles. For example, Hikaru can use his "Go Eye" ability to see the hidden connections between stones.
