About
You’ve landed yourself in prison again, and your only chance is to engineer an escape by any means necessary. How you do it is up to you! Why not cause a prison riot? Or dig a tunnel right under the walls of the prison? Or even steal a guard uniform to blend in with your captors?
The Escapists is a unique prison sandbox experience with lots of items to craft and combine in your daring quest for freedom. Life in prison will keep you on your toes with the strict rules that you’ll have to break. The guards are out to stop any escape attempts, so you’ll have to avoid suspicious behaviour by attending roll calls, working a prison job and hiding your stolen craftables.
Escaping is what you do best, and you’ll have to prove your skills in a variety of challenging prisons from across the world.

Personal Rating: Very Positive (90%) This game would be great if I wasn't so bad at it lol. The goal is simple: escape from prison while pretending to be the ''Model Prisoner''. Complete routines, but also make your own. And while the game looks simple, both by gameplay and graphics, the gameplay (especially the crafting system) CAN get your head spinning if you can't remember recipes, and the pixel graphics just feel right to it. I recommend the game, but never (and I mean NEVER!) miss a Roll Call. (Personal Experience)
Прочувствуй жизнь потного зека, который пытается сбежать из тюрьмы вместе с друзьями
Absolutely goated game. Its super old, yes, but its gameplay is fun, and just the right level of challenging. (Although do consider getting it on sale because $20 is ABSOLUTELY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WILD
Thank you iRaphahell and avg cel mic for showing me this masterpiece of a game 10 years ago
j * bac wiezienie lol
20/10 y god. Alcatraz es una decepción
very good stuff man! crazy yo!
center perks needs a nerf :D
Remember the old times when i was a kiddo playing in that masterpiece and also who was running away from guards for having stolen the god d*mn keys and it kinda evoked the senes of nastolgia when i ran it. Btw i'd not recommend stealing anything so recklessly and mindlessly as i did back there, however nothing has really changed ever since, off the top of my head. Definitely worth playing it for a couple of hours not necessarily playing a long session but in my case i've only managed to play for 4+ hours because the jig was eventually up at that moment those bart*rds found the countrabanda stuff that i was storing in my dest for Christ SAKE and it ruined the whole two and the half hour session. - Summary: STRONGLY, HIGHLY, EXCESSIVELY, MASSIVELY, RECOMMENDED! :/ - Good Luck, i hope you'll break out just like in Alcatraz movie :)
отдельный плюс за ачивку уронить мыло в душе
