Anybody Playing The Escapists?

Just curious 

It's a great game, and it's pretty cheap too:

I played it for a bit several months back. It's an interesting concept, but I found it grindy and poorly executed

Put 11 hours into trying to escape the first prison. Lots of click-heavy stat training and mundane resource collecting only to keep getting completely reset for any one of a dozen infractions. At no point did the game ever give me (or even hint at) the paper mache recipe which is mandatory for covering one's tracks, so all of my budding escape attempts were uncovered way before I could actually get anywhere.

If you have to rely on a wiki to play a game that's supposed to be about creative solutions, it's not worth it in my view. I'm content to sleep in and be let out in six months for good behavior.

Oh well, sorry to hear that! It is really grindy, but I made a guide to escaping every prison. You can find it here if you wish:
