About
Virtual in our presence but human in our proceedings, My Escape seeks to create games that will entertain and appeal to those seeking laughs, fun, and a quick escape from the usual. With sponsorships and awards already attained on their first three releases, the group is poised to continue developing in the browser-based and mobile platforms. My Escape is set to play ball by introducing games centered around oddness, strangeness, and peculiarity. Contact My Escape
