He can bend or extend his arms in a hideous way as if they have no joints, as if they are tentacles. But the most dreadful feature... is his face.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Escapee holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slender Last Sleep has 15 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of The Escapee's written reviews are positive against 96% of Slender Last Sleep's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

The Escapee ships an update every 59 months, Slender Last Sleep every 27 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
