Track your prisoners’ stats in style with the Escape the Dark Castle companion app, featuring atmospheric sound and animation that blend with and enhance the tabletop experience. Sitting alongside your character card, the companion app offers the following features: • Track your Prisoner HP Brutal heavyweight shackles represent your prisoners current HP. Press and drag to see the chain-links glow and rattle as you adjust your HP, while a tension building heartbeat increases in speed as you draw closer to death! • Record your Plague Level The Plague menu allows you to keep track of your plague level using tally marks as directed by the game rules. When you pass a Plague Threshold an animation is triggered - automatically adjusting your HP on the shackles. • Manage Companions When Companions enter the game, select them via the Companions drop-down menu, where you can adjust their HP and trigger their special abilities to mirror their in-game actions. • Access Digital Rules and FAQ Via the Settings menu you can access browser-based searchable digital rules and FAQ to help you get quick clarifications during play without hunting through the physical rule book. • Connected Soundtrack The settings menu also has links to the atmospheric ETDC soundtrack on Spotify, Apple Music, and Bandcamp – meaning you can easily play it in the background, combining with the SFX from this app for full immersion into your dark adventure. • Solo or Local Multiplayer You can play a 2-prisoner solo game on one smartphone, or Host a game which up to three other players can Join using their own devices. During hosted games, all player’s prisoner names and HP levels are displayed in real time on each device, and you will phase in and out of game states together as a group for maximum atmospheric connectivity. • Pass the virtual ‘YOU’ token Tap on the YOU icon and a list of your fellow prisoners will be displayed. Choose who to pass the token to and you’ll hear a heavy metallic sound on that players' device as the token lands with them! • Free Integrated Death Book! When your prisoner dies, enter the code of the card which finished you off and the app will display your doom – a contextual death scene to read aloud and bring full narrative closure to the story. The Death Book is normally sold separately for £9.99 but is included and integrated here for free!

Downloaded for our first game, no music or sound. Select prisoner screen worked, clicked escape and next screen is frozen. Can’t track health or anything. App just doesn’t work. Do not buy

Why can't you add a third player or a fourth? In the card version, you can play with four people, but in the application only two

A waste of money. The links to the FAQs and rules don’t work. The animation is minimal. The music is on another website. Hopeless.

The app does not seem to be worth the 2 dollars. Not very intuitive design and buggy overall

This is a half baked app that was not fully developed. Hot point tracking is basically not functional. Special effects do not exist but are an option. What functionality does exist is not very intuitive. It's as though app was an afterthought and attempt at a cash grab. The fact that every player has to buy the app to play on it together is the first clue the developer wants more money from you. Before you waste your money, understand that the app is not needed to play the game and it only makes play more cumbersome and detracts from the experience...

I love Escape the Dark Castle and the idea of an app to keep track of HP and have a virtual death book is great. Unfortunately, even though you have to pay $1.99 there are so many bugs and issues that makes the experience frustrating. Themeborne really needs to overhaul this app or at least make it free. I also don’t like how every person in the party needs to pay for the app in order to use it. If there’s a paywall, it should only be there if you want to host a game or play solo, but not everyone playing should have to pay 1.99 for this.

The board game is great, and I bought this mostly because it had the death book. But am I really to expect all of my friends to buy it too? What if we have someone new? Do I require them to buy it as well? This app is great for single player, but there really needs to be free version that allows friends to only join games. Hosting can still be behind a paywall.

A lot of app add little except a distraction to a game, ending up as little more than cumbersome single use calculators. Not the case here. Clearly carefully designed to fit the mood of the game and to work with rather than against you this app adds a great deal to the standard play experience. A pleasure to have purchased.
