Japan is experiencing one of the lowest birth rates and population aging rates in the world.
This is why “Nursing Home Escape,” explained in this article, may have a special meaning in Japan. I guess you could call it an older version of the “Metal Gear” series… However, the old Solid Snake is not the main character at all and has nothing to do with weapons or war.
Basically the game is “Go to your destination without being detected!” What is this? ?
Escape the treatment facility!
In the past, I interviewed a company that had developed a flexible flooring material that prevents seniors from injuring themselves even if they fall. According to the company’s CEO, accidents due to falls among the elderly are much more common than one might vaguely think. Sloping stairs, which would not be a problem for young people, can literally become a fatal factor for elderly people with declining physical strength.
In “Escape from the Nursing Home” the main characters are these elderly people.
Every day in an aged care facility is peaceful and pleasant, but in other words every day is boring. Sometimes I feel like going out and having a drink! I want to see football at the stadium! I want to pick up girls! Then, the main character vows to escape from the nursing home without the attention of the staff.
From this point on the gameplay is very close to that of “Metal Gear”. To avoid being spotted by personnel wandering the area, you must be quick and agile to escape. What the hell are you doing, old man? ?
If found by staff, you will be forcibly returned to your room. Hey, what a teenager!
“Walk” with the Shift key
Keyboard operations are not much different from general FPS/TPS. Move with WASD, walk with Shift key.
…Hmm, walking? Isn’t the shift key a hyphen?
If you think so, it is proof that you have not taken into account the physical discomforts of the elderly. In this game, sprinting means walking at a normal human pace, and normally the only thing you can do is swing, looking like you might fall. It’s impossible to run at full speed!
And walking at this normal human pace isn’t something you can keep up with for long, and if you get carried away, you could end up suffering from heart problems. An important feature of “Escape from the nursing home” is that he suffers from chronic diseases such as arthritis and vision problems.
You also need to pay attention to thirst, hunger and bowel movements. Anyway, the main character is in a state where he can’t even move to the next room on his own. If you imagine the old man who looks like he’s about to collapse at any moment, often played by the late Ken Shimura, you won’t be wrong.
…Well, in that case, wouldn’t it be better for you to stay calm in your room and not force yourself to go out? ?
The end of a certain professional wrestler
Once upon a time there was a professional wrestler named Buddy Rogers in American Pro Wrestling.
Rogers was extremely hypocritical and his methods of promoting local events did not take into account the interests of other wrestlers or promoters. For this reason he was thoroughly disliked by his peers, and there was an incident in which he was disciplined in the waiting room by Karl Gotch and Bill Miller.
However, a professional wrestler is still a professional wrestler. In his later years, Rogers lived a retired life in Florida, but when he was in his late 70s, he got into a street fight with a 20-year-old thug in a sandwich shop and beat him up. By this time, Rodgers was suffering from heart and hip problems.
However, three years later, Rogers died. The cause was caused by stepping on cream cheese at the supermarket and falling.
A former professional wrestler who gets into street fights easily dies in a truly ridiculous fall accident. This is what we call “aging”.
Escape from the Nursing Home isn’t set in a complicated dungeon or a military base full of laser traps. This is a very ordinary elderly care facility. The reason why he cannot easily leave such a facility is because the old man, the main character, has physical problems that prevent him from moving freely.
There are many cases where a person was fully motivated to escape, but finds himself in a situation where his body becomes weak and he has no choice but to rely on the help of the staff. Its a bit sad….
Elderly care simulation
Another feature of “Escape the Nursing Home” is that you can not only “Escape the Facility” but also interact with other care recipients.
In other words, if the player feels like it, he will be able to live normally inside the structure without forcing his way out. To summarize, I would say that “Escape from the Nursing Home” is “a simulation for elderly people in need of care that also contains elements of a stress game.”
“Escape from the Nursing Home” is currently available for Early Access on Steam.
