7 itemsAbout the Game
The prison's security has been breached and all the cell doors have opened. You and your fellow Jailiens need to race or work together to find a way out!
Destructible Environments
Break through doors, vents, and weak walls using explosives and other tools, to reach restricted areas. Dig an underground tunnel using your trusty spoon, for a stealthy escape.
Multi-Layered Interactivity
Environment is everything. Check the cameras to locate guards, or hijack the intercom to communicate with teammates across the prison. Destroy air defenses to allow for an airborne escape, or punch down trees to build a raft.
Proximity Chat
Ultra realistic proximity chat using dynamic reverb, occlusion, and directional audio.
Map Editor with Workshop Support
Create, browse, and play tons of custom maps from community members! CUFFBUST has a robust in-game level editor where you can create your own prisons, obbies, races, and arenas to share with the world on the Steam Workshop.
Pick Your Playstyle
10 player lobbies enable many play styles. Team up with a few friends and work together to be the first prisoners out, betray your team and escape alone, or gang up on other teams to hinder their progress.
Massive Roster of Tools
Use pans and spoons to beat up guards, use ID cards to access restricted areas. Loot guns and riot shields from the armory for an action packed escape, or fix electrical circuits to navigate through the sewers.
Hundreds of Free Cosmetics
Escape in style.
Tons of Unique Escape Routes
There are many intermingled routes, tools and mechanics that allow for many escape plans.
Gerjohntons
They don’t like you very much. Kill them I guess.
