About We Escaped a Twisted Game
We Escaped a Twisted Game is a co-op adventure puzzle game developed by Delued Games and released on October 24, 2025. Set in a decrepit haunted manor, the game forces two players to collaborate to solve increasingly bizarre and deadly puzzles. Its indie roots shine in the minimalist art style and tight focus on teamwork. You can’t complete anything alone, every door locked, every trap triggered, requires split-second coordination and communication. It’s a love letter to players who thrive in high-pressure partnerships, blending horror-tinged atmosphere with brain-teasing mechanics. The manor itself feels like a character, shifting and scheming against you.
Gameplay
Each session starts with you and a partner dropped into a different room of the manor. Puzzles range from classic object-hunt sequences to physics-based challenges where one player manipulates objects while the other dodges hazards. Communication is mandatory, text chat is disabled in most areas, so you’ll rely on voice or quick, frantic gestures. The inventory system is split; one player might hold a key while the other has the lockpick. Time pressure ramps up as the manor resets rooms or activates traps. Controls are simple but responsive, with a focus on quick item swaps and environmental interaction. Sessions usually last 30-60 minutes, with the final escape feeling like a coordinated dance of problem-solving and reflexes.
What Players Think
PlayPile community ratings sit at 8.3/10, with 72% of players finishing the main story. Average playtime is 4.2 hours, though 17% report over 8 hours due to repeatable puzzle rooms. Moods are split between suspense (68%) and teamwork (81%), with 12% citing frustration from miscommunication. Critics praise the “brutal but fair” puzzle design, but 23% of reviews mention occasional bugs that break co-op sync. One user wrote, “It’s the first game I’ve played that punishes solo thinking.” Achievement completion is 64% (30 total), with the hardest unlock tied to a hidden room requiring perfect timing.
PlayPile's Take
This game is a must for co-op enthusiasts who don’t mind sweating through 30-minute puzzle sessions. It thrives on partnership, not solo glory. At $29.99, it’s a mid-tier indie buy, and the 30 achievements add replay value. Skip it if you dislike mandatory teamwork or struggle with time-based challenges. The manor’s design is clever, but it occasionally falters in polish. Still, if you’ve got a friend willing to shout solutions at a keyboard, We Escaped a Twisted Game delivers tense, rewarding moments that few other co-op titles can match.
