The Escapists

Although the visual aspects of the game aren't that great, The Escapists is a fun game where you try to get out of prison.

There is quite a bit of activity in this game as you are a prisoner who wants freedom. It looks like a game from the 1980s with the characters who look like they are designed with pixels. You need to complete tasks on a daily basis that the other prisoners want you to do along with some of the guards in the facility. Your goal is to try to get the tasks done so that no one suspects that you're trying to get out of jail. If you get caught, then you'll have to spend more time in jail in an area by yourself.

Use the time that you have available wisely. Plan the details of your escape to take place at the quietest time so that no one sees you. There are no hints given in the game, which is something that can be hard to get around as you might not understand some of the tasks that you have to perform. It's best to start the game as slow as possible so that you can explore the prison. There are a few slow points in the game that prevent you from getting your goals completed as quickly as you want, but other than that, it's a fun game that is a bit different than some others.
