This is just letting you all know that Music Escape has gone Beta! This means we will also be raising the price to $10 to reflect the many additions and improvements we've made to Music Escape since the start of our soft-Alpha launch. But don't worry, this is still less than our full-launch price. So join us today and you'll enjoy all the future updates included as well.
Stay tuned for lots more Music Escaping.

Music Escape Build 58: Nunchaku
Hey everyone, this is a huge update and we're happy it's finally here. It’s time to unlock your inner Ninja and upgrade your Nunchaku skills!
The physics for the Nunchaku was especially challenging to recreate, the hardest part was to have realistic centrifugal force in a 3D environment. If you need an extra boost to spin the Nunchaku faster, you can press the Trigger button.
Gameplay tip: For the Nunchaku, it’s better to swing your arms versus just flicking your wrist.
Build Notes - Added new weapon mode "Light Nunchaku”
- Added 3 new tracks: "Bladerunner", "Electronic Music" and "Here We Go"
- Added hard difficulty for the song "All Abroad"
- Added Weapon Selection Screen and Gameplay Mode
- Every weapon now has its own Online and Local Leaderboards
- Added Power, Precision, Timing parameters in song statistics calculation
- Added an average score for every slice
- Nunchaku centrifugal speed can be boosted by pressing Trigger
- Fixed the bug that causes level effects to stop after playing a few songs consecutively
- Now game pauses when Steam menu activated
Futurejam Now Free
Hi all, we are excited to make Futurejam free to play!
The reason is simple, limited resources. While developing Futurejam, learned a lot about how to design a VR game and realized the limitations of our initial design. So we've taken those lessons and put them into Music Escape.
So here's your chance to play Futurejam for free, if you like it, please support us by purchasing Music Escape. It's currently in Open Alpha and we have a big update coming next week.
Run out of tracks? While you're waiting for us to add more tracks to the official soundtrack, why not create your own?
In fact, here's the link to the Music Escape Map Editor
