About Fleeing the Complex

Fleeing the Complex is the fifth interactive choose-your-own-adventure game in the legendary Henry Stickmin series. In this installment, the luckless but determined stickman Henry finds himself locked up in The Wall, a massive, snow-covered, maximum-security prison designed for the world's most notorious criminals. It is up to you to guide him out by selecting different actions at critical moments.

Instead of testing your reflexes or platforming skills, the game tests your intuition and sense of humor. At every junction, you are presented with a set of tools, gadgets, or tactics. Most of your choices will result in a spectacular, fully animated failure—which is half the fun of playing. Finding every wrong answer is just as entertaining as discovering the right path to freedom.

How to Play

The entire game is controlled with your mouse. When the action pauses, click on one of the options presented on the screen. If you make a mistake and Henry meets a comical end, you can instantly retry the scene from the same spot, so you never lose your progress.

Features and Endings

  • Multiple Endings: There are five distinct ways to escape The Wall, ranging from a chaotic riot to a quiet, stealthy exit.
  • New Character: This game introduces Ellie, a fellow inmate who can become a valuable ally depending on the choices you make.
  • Hundreds of Fails: Collect all the unique failure screens, many of which contain clever references to popular movies, memes, and video games.
