About ESC/APE

**A student team project designed to deliver a ~10 minute experience.

ESC/APE throws you into the role of Abe, a genetically enhanced ape bred for combat and locked away in a sterile testing facility. After a lifetime of experiments, you’re finally given a chance to prove your worth, and the chance to break free!

Master momentum and raw power in fast-paced, physics-driven combat. Slide under hazards, ground pound enemies into the floor, and hurl objects; or your foes themselves, into walls with bone-crushing force. Every movement is a weapon, and every trial pushes your abilities to the limit.

Will you be just another specimen in the lab’s endless experiments, or the first to shatter its walls and escape?
