About the Game

vApe Escape is a point-and-click adventure in a science fiction comedy setting. The player takes control of an innocent ape who must escape the sad destiny of becoming a vape dispenser machine for the wealthy hipsters of the universe.

The game will take the player across many (read: two) locations on board a space-faring cargo ship transporting vApe dispensers to the galaxy, and features multiple (read: two) endings to the story, depending on how you play it. Since it is imagined as an "interactive comic", you can print out your gameplay in comic-book format once you've finished the game, and put it on your comic-book shelf to impress your friends!

Gameplay

  • Help a downtrodden ape commandeer a human starship IN SPACE
  • A dystopian science fiction where the apes HAVEN'T won
  • Short and sweet - 20ish minutes of gameplay
  • A soundtrack that will haunt you in your most intimate vaping moments
  • Print out your gameplay as a comic-book when you're done playing
