Escape Simulator has a Native Linux version again, devs still recommend ProtonJun 16, 2025 - GamingOnLinuxPine Studio have put the Native Linux version of Escape Simulator back up, but they're still recommending you use Proton.

Hailing from Denmark with a background in real-life escape room design, Ravn burst onto the scene with The Fable of the Frog King, a charming and clever entry that earned him first place in the Rookie Builders category of The Artifact Challenge Build-a-Room competition. We sat down with Ravn to learn more about his background, what sparked his journey into Escape Simulator room design, and how a simple idea for a friend’s livestream turned into a full-blown passion for building. From winning contests to obsessing over 0.1-second animation tweaks, Ravn shares insight into his design process, inspirations, and what’s coming next. Let’s jump in and get to know the builder behind the frog. What inspired you to start creating community rooms? One of my friends used to be part of a small YouTube gaming channel, and I thought a great way to support them would be to build a custom virtual escape room that they could play together on stream. That’s how I discovered Escape Simulator in December 2021, and by March the 3-player coop room was done, filled with puzzles based on inside jokes and content from their videos. The stream had a very rough start. I had forgotten to update the room after making the final changes, so I realized 20 minutes in that they were on a broken unfinished build and would have to restart the game AND wait for me to publish the update. Whoooops! Fortunately, they still seemed to love the experience! Your workshop showcases a strong creative style. How would you describe your approach to designing escape rooms? I’m definitely highly motivated by concepts that are unique and fun. For my last two projects, which were both competition rooms, I spent the first few days just thinking about what I could do with the constraints presented by the rules. Once an interesting idea had formed in my head, however, I worked almost nonstop on it. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39212689/83c1368444b4e4d9ac277c78d8b3260f0a49f907.gif https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3266496526 I’m also a bit of a perfectionist. I’ll spend way too much time testing whether an animation works better with a 0.6 or 0.7 second duration and I’ll add features and quality-of-life improvements weeks after a room has been published. I’ve also got the Twitch page for Escape Simulator bookmarked so I can catch streamers playing my rooms and take notes. Where do you usually start? Do you focus on puzzles first, or do you build a theme and environment before adding mechanics? Once I have an idea and start developing it, I make a text document and write down all the interactions, elements, themes, story beats, etc. that I can think of and would want to include. The list is then gradually reorganized and the various items removed, transformed or expanded upon as I build the room. The puzzles then usually create themselves as I flesh out interactions, play around with stuff...Escape Simulator drops the Linux build to focus on supporting ProtonMay 30, 2025 - GamingOnLinuxPine Studio released a new update for their popular game Escape Simulator, dropping the Linux version to focus on Proton. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/05/escape-simulator-drops-the-linux-build-to-focus-on-supporting-proton/ Detective Update is Available Now!May 29, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsWe’ve just released a small free update featuring a brand new noir-themed room called Detective’s Office. You can play it in both flat and VR versions of Escape Simulator. Immerse yourself in a gritty atmosphere with flickering neon lights and classic noir puzzles. Also included in the update are new detective outfits for your characters, alongside a bunch of small bug fixes and improvements. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39212689/9d48aae70750aea0c77ba25552c6ea43cc774d2e.gif 🎵 Soundtrack Update The official Escape Simulator soundtrack just got a major boost. It's updated to include music from recent rooms and DLCs, along with some of the loopable chill tracks from our livestreams so now includes 56 tracks and over 3 hours of music, available in both MP3 and high-quality WAV formats. 🥽 Mayan DLC now available on Meta VR {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39212689/563dbaab553d2e9242eed7365a1fd0bbfa55f4c1.gif Our Mayan DLC is now fully playable on Meta VR platforms. Explore the jungle and uncover ancient puzzles in VR. And yes, the new Detective’s Office room is also available on Meta, free for all players. 🐧 Linux Support? We’ve decided to stop maintaining a native Linux build. :( We supported the native Linux version for nearly 4 years, even though it’s always been under 0.5% of our players. Proton now runs the game more reliably than the native build with fewer crashes, better performance, and most Linux players already switched to it. As a small team, maintaining the native build across many distros was taking time away from developing new content (we just released our 50th room!). So we’ve decided to focus on supporting Proton, which continues to work well on Linux and Steam Deck. We understand this change is frustrating for some, and we truly appreciate everyone who supported us on Linux. 🔍Detective's Office: A new free room coming May 29!May 24, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsDear escapers, step into Detective's Office, a black-and-white murder mystery designed for up to 8 detectives. Inspired by classic noir films, this room brings gritty atmosphere, flickering neon, and puzzles built around forensic investigation. Will be available in Escape Simulator (flat and VR), starting May 29. It’s a short but sweet experience, and best of all, it’s completely free to play. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39212689/e9381f8fd6606600886b3c4f8d449bde4ebba9b2.gif What to Expect: Develop photographic negatives Analyze fingerprints Trace the killer’s route on a city map New detective outfits!

The room offers a rich narrative, atmospheric environments, and creative use of props. Players have praised the immersive story and ambiance, though some encountered a minor issue with item placement that required a restart.
