After 3 hours and 6 in game days we were too close to escaping. We just needed 2 more shovels. My friend hardly found 2 wooden sticks and made the shovels and headed to underground where we were digging the hole. I was bored so i decided to do some quests. I didn't know that other npcs can ask you to backstab real players. So i just put some soil on his desk and he got caught by guards. They took away the shovels and everything suspicious. He was so upset he uninstalled the game and said "this game is dog sht, i got beaten up for no reason im never gonna play this again." Anyway. If anyone wants to play send me a friend request.

I have played countless hours of this game on both PC and playsation, 100% worth it for fun cartoonish violence and strategy, And for a breif and fleeting second I manage to forget about the ever present threat of death that has so burrowed into my lungs.

I took so much time to get out of prison and I almost got caught multiple times. Then I went home and downloaded the Escapists 2.
