When Escape was created, the United States was already losing the War on Drugs. Public opinion shifted over the decades into apathy and acceptance. A hallucinogen that allowed the user to escape to another life was not just appealing, it was the perfect substitute for the society the last generation had left them.

Taken safely, Escape was all a person could ever want. But everything changed once a young boy died with a small tab of paper on his tongue. Ouroboros engages with a society that has given up on its present and failed its future. Its citizens are trapped in a world where meaningful change seems impossible.
