Best Escape Games on Steam

Steam has so many different games available in its store that is impossible to keep count. This also means that there is a game out there for every gamer, no matter their preferences. Escape games are abundant on the platform, but only a few are worthy of considered being the best.

Best Steam Games in the Escape category

Players of the Escape game category know that there can be a lot of variation within the genre. Whether you are a fan of realistic mysteries or cartoonish escape rooms, there's a game out there for everyone.

Escape Simulator

Boasting a gorgeous and unique art style, Escape Simulator is a great example of valuing style and function. Players can choose whether to play on their own or in multiplayer as they interact with the space the game places them in, solving all the clues necessary to escape. Rather than being a simple point and click, the rooms in this game are highly interactive and provide an immersive experience.

We Were Here Too

For the player that wants an experience that was specifically designed for co-op, the second installment in the We Were Here franchise, We Were Here Too, is an ideal choice. What really makes this game stand out from the rest is the asymmetric experience of both players. Each player will have a different environment that requires them to work well and communicate clearly with their teammate.

I Expect You To Die 2

For those who want to experience an escape game in VR, there are few options better than the ultra-sleek I Expect You To Die 2. Play in the role of a spy/investigator trying to escape a room full of intrigue and danger. The realistic style of the game paired with the over-the-top mechanics makes for a highly engaging experience. The VR component of the game serves to add an even deeper level of engagement for the player.

The House of Da Vinci

Players who are looking for a highly mechanical and challenging escape game will find The House of Da Vinci to be a prime option. While this gorgeous game may look like a fantasy RPG, don't be fooled as it is still a 3D puzzle at its core. Full of complicated puzzles and intriguing mechanics, The House of Da Vinci is a sophisticated gem in the indie world.

Sotano

While the gritty art style and liminal space-style setting would leave some to believe that Sotano is an indie horror game. It is, however, a fun 3D escape puzzle game that values atmosphere and gameplay highly. Collecting items to use later on, solving riddles, and an over-arching mystery to solve make Sotano a game that is easy to spend hours playing.
