Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are choosing Early Access because the game is still in active development. While the core experience is already playable, many areas still need improvement, including balance, UI design, visual assets, content variety, and overall polish. Early Access allows us to continue improving the game with feedback from players while making it clear that the current version does not represent the final quality we are aiming for.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect the Early Access period to last around 12 months. This may change depending on development progress, player feedback, and the scope of improvements we decide to make.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to improve and expand the game in many areas, including gameplay balance, UI/UX, visual assets, maps, items, enemies, progression, and overall content variety. We may also rework or rebuild certain systems if we believe doing so will improve the final experience. Our overall goal is to make the game deeper, more polished, and more replayable over time.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay loop is already implemented and playable. Players can enter raids, explore maps, fight enemies, collect loot, manage equipment, progress their character, and extract from the battlefield. However, the game is still incomplete, and some systems, content, UI elements, balance, and visual assets are still being improved.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. We plan to gradually increase the price as new content, features, improvements, and polish are added during development.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to involve the community through player feedback, social media posts, and open communication channels. Players are encouraged to share their thoughts, suggestions, bug reports, and gameplay experiences with us. Community feedback will help us decide which areas need improvement and what kinds of content or features players are most interested in.”

About This Game

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.

Key Features


  • Turn-based extraction gameplay — enter the map, search for loot, survive, and extract alive.
  • Grid-based tactical combat — positioning, timing, weapons, ammunition, and movement all matter.
  • Risk-and-reward decisions — push deeper for better rewards, or leave safely with what you already have.
  • Meaningful scavenging — collect supplies, gear, currency, materials, and task items that support long-term progression.
  • Out-of-raid progression — improve attributes, spend talent points, adjust your build, and prepare for harder expeditions.
  • Base development — bring resources home, complete tasks, build facilities, and unlock more options.
  • Survival pressure — manage health, hunger, thirst, ammunition, equipment, and limited actions during each run.

In Escape from Gridlock, survival is not just about winning fights.

It is about knowing what is worth carrying, what is worth risking, and when it is time to leave.
