Can you escape the dungeon, return to the castle, and avenge your friend’s death? Escape and Avenge is an unconventional text-based adventure that reimagines the genre for mobile. With a couple quick taps, you can chain together any command you want--the perfect blend of speed, accuracy, and range of actions! Throw in some minimalist visual mini games and puzzles and you’ve got a new spin on interactive fiction! There are no ads or IAP--just a poor soul trapped in a dungeon who is looking for help.
