We then created the Skill system, where players could take the XP earned from jobs and put them into Skills that would help them escape. This helped bolster the “well-behaved” prisoner lifestyle without forcing the player into a set regime. These jobs would drain the player’s Needs faster, but would reward them with some cash and XP. We also added a large number of jobs the player can perform. If you let your Needs slip too low, you’ll find you start to suffer from various negative effects like reduced attack damage or an increase in how often guards will search you. We started by creating a system where the player has to cater towards various ‘Needs’ such as food, hygiene, clothing etc. We knew that Escape Mode had the potential to be a deeper, more rewarding experience, but just what is it that makes prison escapes so compelling? After a lot of thumb-twiddling, we realized that to really encapsulate the feeling of a prison escape, you need to tap into the inmate’s dual life blend in like a regular prisoner going about their daily routine, while slowly and meticulously plotting their escape. There was a lot of expectation for the mode to be a direct lift of the PC version, but this didn’t sit right with us. With the console release of Escape Mode, we really had our work cut out. You can try to escape your own prison, or try your luck at one of the thousands of community-made maps ready to download from World of Wardens.
