When I first played the escapists, I loved the game, and when I got this game when it first released I honestly was not a fan of the change in graphics and how the game worked. After coming back to it many years later it really has grown on me, I liked how it was unique in its own way but still very similar to the original. Pleasantly surprised and really happy i got the game when it was first released.

Very fun game, some people complain about placing down things like the ladder (They cant do it), yes, i was confused at first too, but you hold left click on the item in the item bar, then right click to place it down. it just did a faulty way explaning how you do so, that's all, not a glitch.
