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.

This game is so good bro. Compared to The Escapists 2 this game doesn't hold your hand at all, it's a real strategy game, you've gotta really figure stuff out yourself and plan properly. Challenging in all the right
game is rage bait supreme. its ALMOST what you want it to be but never actually is. gaurds annoying as hell. less of a puzzle more like pacman
This game isn't very fun, the gameplay loop and mechanics are the same ones that are expanded upon in the sequel, but here they're just super bare bones. The art style and music are really basic and uninteresting,
I love this game! The fun of trying to figure out what you're supposed to do and how to escape while avoiding guards and keeping a low profile just didn't get old to me. From the first prison to the last one, all of
I miss this game, sadly I found the sequel to not meet my expectations. Idk if it's just nostalgia or the many bugs and multiplayer required escapes the sequel brought, but i'd rather play the og any day of the week.
The game was so difficult and I was never successful when I played it so many years ago, so I wanted to give it a try again after all these years. Unfortunately the game is literally unplayable due to missing a .cmap
