About game

In Project Breakout you are put into a simulated prison and have to escape.

Follow the rules...

... and do as your told. You can train to improve your strength, stamina, speed and intelligence, apply for a prison-job to earn some money, and let the days grow by as you are robbed of your freedom.

Or...

... act like you are behaving, steal from other prisoners and the guards in order to gather loot and craft useful items like tools and weapons. Explore the prison to find routines and security weaknesses that you can exploit. Maybe you cut a hole in a fence that is not seen by the nearby guard tower, build a bomb to destroy a brittle wall or you dig a whole tunnel to get to freedom. The choice is yours!

After an escape you are rewarded with experience and money, which you can invest into permanent skill points and gear you take into your next escape.

Mapeditor

Every prison makes for an unique experience and challenge to escape. You can yourself slip into the role of a prison architect and design your very own prison! Create and place your own buildings and add fences and paths to structure your prison. Add CCTV cameras, spotlights and guard patrols to keep the future players of your prison inside!

Online-Coop

Up to three of your friends can join you as inmates on your journey into the prison and (hopefully) out again.
