Alien escape
You awaken alone aboard a silent spacecraft adrift in orbit - the crew gone, systems failing, something wrong in the walls.
As you search for a way out, something begins to hunt you.
It doesn’t speak. It doesn’t stop. And it remembers you.
Alien Escape is an atmospheric, narrative-driven sci-fi horror experience with mature themes, branching paths, and multiple endings.
Explore the ship. Make choices. Try to survive.
This is my first visual novel. It was created primarily as a learning project, so the story is relatively short. I'm not an artist, so I used AI-generated images to visualize the scenes. The video clips were sourced from the internet - full details are listed in the Credentials section.
If you know an artist who might be interested in collaborating to replace the visuals with something more consistent and tailored to the story, feel free to reach out in the comments or via DM.
English is not my first language, so I also used AI to help with the translation.

A good starting point. It's clever how you use the pod to restore the situation/health but at the same time still have a sense of pressure by having the creature progressively damaging the door to that room.
Not a fan of the videos though, in fact on mobile it was not loading most of the time and I just ignored that.
The monster ...caught me once, but I got away, safely away to the planet (I hope)
Was definitely... scary/eerie
Thanks for playing — glad you made it out (for now)!
Really happy to hear the atmosphere landed the way I hoped.
I would support the game if it has no ai art, but 3d scenes made by humans only like the cutscenes and it should include a picture of the woman wandering around naked in the ship.
Thank you for checking out the game and taking the time to leave feedback - I really appreciate it.
I absolutely understand your point. Honestly, I would also prefer to have human-made illustrations - especially more explicit or dramatic ones, like torn clothing or nudity in line with the story’s tone. Unfortunately, I’m not an artist myself, and I wasn’t able to quickly find someone willing to help with that.
This visual novel is an experimental project - mainly created to learn how to build interactive stories. That’s why I didn’t focus too much on visuals for this one. But I hear you, and I plan to give much more attention to the art in future projects.
Thanks again for your support and honesty!
