I would love to have escape mode. I was reading the metacritic reviews on the game for Xbox One and they mentioned having the escape mode. I guess it was actually the Steam version. Needless to say I read that it had an escape mode and I immediately bought the game. I bought the $39.99 edition which comes with the DLC All Day and a Night. It's a great game and I will continue to play it, but I would really enjoy it more if there was an escape mode. Otherwise I will just have to go back to playing the Escapists.
