Exit is a puzzle game, but not in the typical sense of the genre. The game is separated out into levels, but instead of lining up rows of blocks or matching various colors together, you are saving people from various crises. As Mr. ESC, you must find the quickest way to get people out of burning buildings, flooded rooms, and whatever other devastated area that comes your way.
Invariably, at the outset of each level, your goal is to lead those who are trapped in the building to the exit. You do this by first reaching the survivor and then having them follow you to the exit. Sounds simple, but not all survivors are created equally. Some are young and need help getting over obstacles, others are large and, well, need help also.
As Mr. ESC, you have far superior abilities when compared to the survivors, but there are times when you will need their help as well. The levels, though based on real life establishments, are not exactly populated by what we would consider the most practical apparatuses. Levers, elevators, switch-gates, and loads of boxes are scattered throughout each level, making it a challenge to successfully navigate your way to the end.
