A Way Out

A story-driven action-adventure built only for two players, local or online. You each control one of two prisoners, Leo and Vincent, who plan a prison escape and what comes after. Split-screen shows both views at once, and the game mixes stealth, driving, fighting and puzzles. It is short, around six hours. Is it your kind of game?
