Escape Simulator: Steampunk DLC

The Steampunk DLC adds four rooms to Escape Simulator, all set aboard the airship Valor after an explosion wakes you below deck. You work up from the crew quarters through a burning engine room and a rooftop greenhouse to the helm. The rooms are larger than those in the base game and can be played solo or in online co-op, but every player needs to own the DLC. It suits groups who already enjoy Escape Simulator and want more official content.

About 79% of 132 reviews are positive. Players praise the detailed steampunk art, bigger rooms and puzzles that feel a step harder than the base game, with highlights like the puzzle cube and the greenhouse. Some puzzles change with group size so everyone has to work together.

The recurring complaint is co-op desync: several groups say key items or progress only showed up for the host. Others found the latitude map puzzle in the helm room illogical, had trouble with puzzles that require holding a button down, or ran into a Steam Deck bug in the engine room. Most finish in two to three hours, short of the advertised estimate. It is good value for fans, ideally played solo or after checking that co-op works.
