Scavenge. Fight. Extract. Bring everything home.
Escape from Gridlock is a turn-based tactical extraction game where every expedition is a gamble.
Enter dangerous grid-based maps, search abandoned areas, open containers, fight monsters and hostile units, and decide when to get out. Push deeper and you may find better loot. Stay too long, make one bad move, or run out of resources, and you may lose everything you carried in.
Every turn matters. Position carefully, manage your actions, watch your health, hunger, thirst, weapons, ammunition, and equipment, then make the call: keep looting, fight your way forward, or extract before the situation collapses.
But the things you bring back are more than just loot.
Every supply, weapon, material, and coin can become part of your long-term progress. Complete tasks, stockpile resources, improve your attributes, spend talent points, prepare better equipment, develop your base, and unlock more options for future expeditions.
Each successful extraction makes your next run more meaningful. Your base grows. Your build expands. Your stockpile becomes stronger. And the next time you enter the grid, you will have more ways to survive, fight, loot, and escape.
