Breakout

Breakout is an immersive decision-based game where players take on the role of an inmate framed for a crime they didn’t commit. The goal is to escape from a high-security prison by navigating increasingly guarded areas, using stealth, problem-solving, and a range of skills to avoid detection. However, "Breakout" introduces a unique twist: ethical dilemmas. Players are constantly faced with difficult choices that impact not only their path to freedom but also the the consequences that come with it. Do you take the riskier route that avoids harming anyone, or choose a faster, more dangerous path that could have collateral consequences? Every decision shapes the outcome of the escape, leading to increases or decreases in difficulty based on the player's morals. In this game, escaping isn’t just about strategy and skill; it’s about balancing personal survival with ethical responsibility. 

How far will you go to secure your freedom?
