—Scavenge for resources in a collapsing post-apocalyptic world, evade monsters, and successfully extract before the darkness consumes everything. Death means losing all the items you carried out.
Cataclysm Escape
SteamTransformation: Moving in human form makes noise, while moving in cat form makes you invisible to monsters, but it continuously drains your energy. Remember to buy energy potions.

Store: You can purchase consumable items in the store.

Talents: You can enhance your talents by spending gold coins. Enhancing talents increases the amount of gold you earn, boosts your luck, expands your inventory capacity, and raises your energy limit. You can also unlock special abilities, such as unlocking cat form, preventing item drop upon death, using the cat to push boxes, and making your transformation sound inaudible to monsters!

Collect: Be sure to collect all the various items found in the environment and in treasure chests.

Treasure Chests: You can unlock treasure chests while in human form! You can obtain equipment from inside the chests!

Equipment Storage: All equipment has random stats. To make it easier to mix and match, you can store them in the Equipment Storage!

Building a ladder: To enter the ventilation duct, we need to build a ladder ourselves beforehand!

Enter the pipe: Once the ladder is set up, enter the pipe!

Ventilation ducts: You can safely reach every area of the level using ventilation ducts!! However, be sure to look around and listen for monster sounds nearby.

Invisibility Potion: A lifesaver!! It makes you invisible to monsters in an instant, but be warned—it’s quite expensive!! Still, we highly recommend keeping some on hand! Because if you die, your items will drop and disappear!!!

Speed Potion: When spotted by monsters, use a speed potion to increase your movement speed and try to shake off the monsters while the potion’s effects last!
