Project Breakout

Project Breakout is a prison escape simulation in which you try to break out of a simulated prison. You can follow the rules while preparing for your escape, or pretend to behave as you steal, craft and search the prison for weaknesses.

Life in prison

Train to improve your strength, stamina, speed and intelligence, apply for a prison job to earn money, and let the days pass while you are confined. Alternatively, steal loot from prisoners and guards, then craft useful items such as tools and weapons. Explore the prison to learn routines and find weaknesses in its security: you might cut through a fence beyond the nearby guard tower’s view, blow up a brittle wall with a bomb or dig a tunnel to freedom.

Escapes and progression

After an escape, you earn experience and money to spend on permanent skill points and gear for your next attempt. The game includes five hand-crafted prisons, over 150 items and over 80 crafting recipes.

Design a prison

The built-in map editor lets you create prisons by designing and placing buildings, adding fences and paths, and assigning guard patrols. You can also set up CCTV cameras and spotlights to challenge future escapees. Creations can be uploaded to and downloaded from the Steam Workshop.

Co-op escapes

Up to four prisoners can try to escape together. Up to three friends can join you as inmates.
