The Escapists

A top-down prison sandbox where the goal is getting out. You follow the daily routine, craft tools from items you collect, earn favours from inmates and study guard patterns and cameras to build an escape plan. The pixel-art look keeps the tone light and comic. Is it your kind of game?
