About
The Escapists is an indie adventure game with role-playing and puzzle elements developed by Mouldy Toof Studios.
Gameplay
You play as a prisoner with only one goal in mind - escape. The players can acquire items that will help them in the process of escaping either by buying them from fellow prisoners or crafting them. In fact, you can always steal the items you need from someone else.
It is possible to interact with other inmates who can assign tasks to the player. By completing these quests, the players can increase their respect or earn some money. Different activities such as visiting the gym or reading in the library increase the player's stats which increase the chances of a successful escape.
In order for the player to not be spotted by their wardens, it is essential to avoid their attention and follow the timetable by eating food with all the other inmates, appearing at a morning gathering, and so on. The cells are often searched, so the player has to be careful and hide the tools required for the escape. If one should get detected, they're moved to the punishment cell and lose all the items and preparations they made for the escape.
Miscellanious
Five add-ons for the game were released. Each of them added new prisons, including the iconic Alcatraz prison, new escape options, crafts and much more.

The Escapists reviews and comments
No support for widescreen. Game crashes reliably. There is too little information at the beginning to let you know what is happening. Overall a very unfun experience.

A Key was used for this Review, which was used by the Publisher for Review purposes. * * * The Escapists is a Mind Game in which you take on the Role of an Inmate who naturally wants to break out.
The whole Game is kept in very minamilistic 16Bit graphics, and the equally minimalist Music is not exactly everyone's taste, yet the Game is tons of fun. As you inconspicuously mold The innocent prisoner, and ascend to the morning appeal as normal, take your Lunch to you, do one of 10 Prison Jobs and follow the rules at the same time you have to closely observe Prisons, inmates, guards, And the Surroundings So to find out the Vulnerabilities. You can always produce countless Things, and then use them for your Outbreak. The whole thing is already done quite realistically and the Degree of difficulty increases from Level to Level. You just don't just break out of the Prison like that.
Per complex as well as innovative Reflection game Realistic Prison Run You can level up his Prisoner like eg. By training stronger or smarter, Long-lasting Gameplay makes Many Items for Crafting. And in each new Prison There will be more The Developers offer good Support, and listen to the Community Steamcloud &. Steamworkshop Many small Side Quests you can do for Inmates to increase in their Favor Steamachievments &. Steam Collection cards 10 Different Prison Stages Map Editor Bugfrei Contra Graphic Music Low Replay Value Conclusion The Game is definitely complex and you have to think a lot, so Arcade players should think twice to buy it, but who is on Strategy Games stands, the one could find her a new Love.

A very fun game.
However, the Craften is rather difficult, because you have to remember each recipe. Since I find the system, which is synonymous with the PC version is better.

If you are into pixel graphics then you will get a really good retro game which has brought me some hours of fun for the price of a clear purchase recommendation

It is very cool and on top of the main prisons there are extras. Although they could work a little more on the graphics because with how good the game is, the graphics are 16 Bytes
Which is not that they are very good but I still LOVE.

I have been playing The Escapists for 2 years now and more and more new jails with a very funny storie have been added. Cool graphics and really fun. It also has good humor. Since there are also a lot of crafting recipes and also jobs to earn money, it has a great variety. I strongly recommend to buy!

I just spent more than 20 minutes looking for the game on the store without the
Find, and by any key words possible and imaginable.
I find it only via Google which references the AppStore link for purchase.
So gentlemen developers, check that your game is in the research base of the AppStore. I find all competing applications but not yours!
