Description
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!

Great companion app for my favorite board game. Sometimes you don't want to use pen and paper or don't have the collector's box health tracks
★★★★☆Alexandar Marinov· Oct 31, 2022
Loved the app atmosphere, music link and overall design. The only show downside is that you can't track 3-4 players health & plague when playing in person, unless at least 2 of you have purchased the app. It's a lovely add-on to the game that might save you some space the death book, but after playing in-person multiple times, having only a 2 player limitation on the app kind of sucks. But other than that, lovely app with some amazing features.

Love this app! So easy to use and saves using the pencil and pad included with the actual game!
★☆☆☆☆Paul Kent· Aug 29, 2021
Disappointed, couldn't run a game for 4 players on one app (each player needs to have a device and buy the app). Annoying, especially if some members don't have a device. Reverted to paper, not a big deal. Tempted to refund, hoping a patch is coming.

Nice app and atmosphere, ridiculous that for a 4-person game each person must buy the app.
