Or you could just start a new game or revert to your last save. Rebuilding broken relationships after numerous riots in the canteen means giving wronged inmates or guards appropriate gifts or money, or completing various favours for them (like ambushing guards and inmates or obtaining contraband) to wipe the slate clean. Get into fights with guards and inmates, and you'll be plagued by outbreaks of violence that will see you stripped of useful items on your person and thrown into solitary for three days. In spite of this bold method, The Escapists can sometimes be a frustrating affair. But therein lies the beauty the freedom to discover what's possible, to push and pull at the boundaries without having your hand held. Once the tutorial is done, you're on your own, left to figure the rest out for yourself.
Of course, escape is never quite as easy as you might think, and The Escapists' opening tutorial is only the smallest and most brief taster of what transpires to be a far more complicated beast. You can also get up to mischief within your different job roles, stealing a guard's uniform from the laundry for use as a disguise, nicking wood from the workshop, a trowel from the gardening room or lifting cutlery from the kitchen for cutting through fences, for instance. Or you could simply rifle through the desks of other inmates while their cells are vacated at the risk of being caught by the ever-vigilant prison guards. That said, there are always options at your disposal and you're seldom left wanting for a viable strategy or plan of action.Īs with real prison life (presumably), there are jobs to do that earn you coins, which can then be traded with your fellow inmates for helpful items like screwdrivers, stepladders, wire or other difficult-to-obtain goods. So, when you do run into an obstacle or an inability to perform a task that you otherwise could in the real world, it's a little jarring. You can craft all manner of implements, from pick axes to simple shivs, razor combs, shovels, fence cutters and other makeshift items, while the number of avenues for making it out of each prison are mostly limited only by your imagination.
