Matthew's Escape

Introduction

Matthew's Escape is an action game from developer zendar-the-pretendar built around one urgent idea: outrunning something terrible on dangerous water. Matthew rides a raft down a stormy river while a metallic fallen angel, sent by Magdelena, hunts him from behind. Rocks break up the route, so the challenge is as much about steering cleanly as it is about speed. Survive the pursuit and the story opens up around a mysterious hooded man, giving the chase a mystery to pull you forward. The setup blends fantasy with action, and the tension comes from being chased rather than from exploring at your own pace. Matthew's Escape runs in a browser and is made for phones and computers alike: on a phone you hold the screen upright, and you can play with touch controls or a keyboard depending on the device. If a tense river chase with a fantasy edge and a story hook sounds like your kind of game, it is worth a try.
