It’s a puzzle game, plain and simple, with old school JRPG-like menus to boot. Whether you’re Shawshanking it or divining an elaborate Michael Scofield-esque Prison Break scheme, the prison is your oyster, as the game is very open-ended in nature.

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to escape from prison by any means necessary.

If you’ve ever seen the intro to Kenan & Kel, that’s basically how Escapists works. There can be several types of items ranging from weapons to tools which can aid the player in escaping, smuggling and fighting. In The Escapists 2, you are able to bring up the crafting menu by pressing “C”, or accessing your inventory and moving to the crafting tab (console versions). Steam Leaderboards – Once you have escaped see how you fared against other successfully escaped players! Prison Editor – Create from scratch your very own confinement masterpiece and share it with the community! The player can craft items by pressing the “9” key on the keyboard or clicking the “craft” button on the right side of the screen after gathering the necessary ingredients. Multiple save slots so you can have more than one escape attempt on the go! Steam Achievements to strive for.

(Team17 fully endorse the use of various weapons such as ‘shivs’, ‘nunchucks’ and ‘maces’ – within a fictional setting of course!).
