Cuffbust

Cuffbust is a prison escape game for lobbies of up to 10 players. After a security breach opens all the cell doors, you and the other Jailiens race or work together to find a way out. You can cooperate, betray your team and escape alone, or hinder rival teams.

Escape routes

The prison has many intermingled routes, tools and mechanics, leaving room for different escape plans. Break through doors, vents and weak walls with explosives or other tools to reach restricted areas, or dig an underground tunnel with a spoon for a stealthy escape. You can also destroy air defenses to make an airborne escape possible, punch down trees to build a raft, or fix electrical circuits to navigate the sewers.

Tools and interactivity

Use pans and spoons to fight guards, and ID cards to access restricted areas. The armory holds guns and riot shields. You can check cameras to locate guards or hijack the intercom to communicate with teammates across the prison.

Maps and communication

An in-game level editor lets you create prisons, obstacle courses, races and arenas, then share them through Steam Workshop. You can also browse and play community-made maps. Proximity chat uses dynamic reverb, occlusion and directional audio.

Other inmates

The prison guards, called Gerjohntons, are hostile toward you. The game also includes hundreds of free cosmetics.
