The film consists entirely of 7 YouTube videos made by JD Archives.
No Escape was originally intended as a spinoff of Gideon's now-deleted 2024 short film, BACKROOMS: THE MOVIE.
The release was first scheduled for October 31, then moved to May 16, but due to a six-month post-production period, it was re-scheduled for July 25.
The film was initially planned to be a two-hour film made entirely by Gideon himself.
The film does not include an on-screen content warning. Instead, a warning is provided in the YouTube description. An actual warning screen appears only on a private DVD version made for home use, which is not available for sale.
