I Want Out!

A boy named Luke is trapped in an abandoned train station deep underground and needs your help. How either of you came to be here isn’t clear, but perhaps he fell through the ceiling, where there is now a large but unreachable hole. Apparently there has been an earthquake, because part of the station is severely damaged and all exits have collapsed. Finding another exit requires quite some work, involving tampering with electronics, taking down a signpost and even blowing things up.

I Want Out!, by nicolas, is presented in one big pixel art image that scrolls around to keep Luke on the screen as you move. The destroyed station is nicely detailed and presented in cool, dark colors with blue, geen and grey prevailing. Ominous music accompanies the action, and there are many effective sound effects, like the tapping of Luke’s feet on the different surfaces when he walks, electrical sparks, and the clinking of a coin in the soda vending machine. There is no voice acting, only subtitles displayed on-screen.
