About this game
Escape from the Silken Web is a cooperative dungeon crawler game based on Eastern Mythology where communication is forbidden, and players either win or lose together. Each turn, play as Tang Sanzang or one of his disciples, using unique skills and equipment to clear seven dungeon levels without a single word. And collect artifacts for reputation, or you may choose to sacrifice them to survive at the same time, but if a threat returns to you unsolved, the entire team is stuck in this place for good...... —description from the publisher
