Games Like Prison Break: Thirty Walls

Learn the day. Then break it

The prison runs on a clock, and the clock decides what counts as suspicious. In the yard at yard time you are furniture. In the yard at lockdown you are the alarm. Every guard, camera, searchlight and drone asks the same question, and the answer changes four times a day.

Find the shovel. Get it back to your cell. Dig. By level twelve the shovel is behind a locked door and the key is on a guard; by eighteen the guard has a club. Every prison you beat makes the next one a link longer. Get caught and you wake in solitary at the far end of the building, with the walk back to think about it.

Thirty prisons, none drawn by hand

Every prison is generated from a plan and a seed. Play the same seed twice and you get the same building. Move to the next one and you'll never see it again. Towers, yards, cell blocks, fences and floodlights are laid out fresh every time, so what worked last prison only half works in this one.

Trouble is also an opening

Bring a crewmate

Co-op escapes: one of you has the shovel, the other one is the distraction

Zero assets

No meshes, no textures, no materials on disk. Every wall, bar, badge reader and bounce of light is built in code the moment you press Play, which is why the whole game is a small download.
