About the Game

Underwater prison isn’t exactly a dream destination, but nobody asked. The prisoners have 5 days to escape their gruesome fate, while the guard works overtime to make sure they stay right where they are. There are plenty of ways out. Pulling one off is the hard part.

Choose your team, then pick from a range of prisoner and guard classes, each with its own playstyle and tricks for making life harder for the other side.

Scavenge the prison for useful junk, stolen tools, and anything that might get you one step closer to freedom. Turn what you find into tools and escape gear. Every run gives you new chances to improvise, adapt, and create the dumbest successful plan imaginable.

Take control of the prison as the guard and use every tool at your disposal to stop the escape. Use your abilities, monitor the prison through cameras, and work alongside security robots to predict the prisoners’ plans and shut them down.

No one gets out alone. Team up with other prisoners to share loot, distract the guard, and pull off last-second saves. Use voice chat to warn your team, call out the guard, beg for help, or accidentally reveal your entire plan. Good communication can save the run. Bad communication can make it way funnier.

Freedom is temporary. Drip is forever. Customize your prisoner or guard with outfits, accessories, and cosmetics. Look good breaking out. Look better locking it down.

Different loot, different plans, different disasters. Sometimes everything comes together, and the breakout goes perfectly. Sometimes one bad move blows the whole plan, and now the guard is on the way.
