One of the big issues with compos like Ludum Dare is sometimes, the topic just gives you no inspiration. You have no idea of how to work into it.

“Escape” however, is a bit too broad. There are so many genres you could do here, it’s insane. My guess is that 2D platformer will be the genre of choice. So to avoid that I’ll go with a genre I know and love well, Rogue-like.

I also have an idea of a source-inspiration. A short claymation film called Ward 13.
