🎮 How to play Fleeing the Complex

Like its predecessors, Fleeing the Complex is a ‘choose your own path’ interactive movie. At key moments, the game will pause and present you with several options (items or actions). You click the one you want to try. This will trigger an animated scene. If you chose… poorly… you will be shown a unique ‘FAIL’ screen. You are then sent back to your last choice. This installment introduces ‘co-op’ choices, where you must rely on a new character, Ellie Rose. It also features more quick-time events (QTEs) where you must press a key or click quickly to succeed.

Click on one of the choices presented on screen.
Watch the animated outcome.
If you fail, read the funny message and try another option.
Your choices create branching paths that lead to 5 different major endings.

💡 Tips and Tricks for Fleeing the Complex

The goal is to find all the fails. Do not just try to ‘win’. The fails are the best part. After you get an ending, go back and explore the other branches. You can use the map to see which paths you have not tried. To get all the medals, you must not only find all 5 endings, but also click on hidden characters and items in the background during the cutscenes. This game is a masterpiece of comedy, building on the simple formula of Escaping the Prison with more complex narratives.

Explore every possible choice. The fails are the main content.
There are five major endings to achieve.
Look for hidden ‘clickable’ characters in the background for achievements.

It is not required, but it is highly recommended. Fleeing the Complex is full of references and returning characters from the previous games. Playing them in order (Breaking the Bank, Escaping the Prison, Stealing the Diamond, Infiltrating the Airship) makes the story much richer.
