GP:
There's a kind of weird irony in the idea that anyone would pay to spend time in a prison. On the one hand, they're the time-out room of the adult world, but on the other they're also a truly interesting social experiment. We watch movies like The Shawshank Redemption and TV series like Orange is the New Black, and we wonder how we, as (mostly) well-adjusted adults, would fare if we were locked up in a small space alongside so many dangerous and antisocial people – a pigeon among the cats.
KeenGamer: "A good prison simulator can be a strong statement as to why we need more of them like The Escapists 2. Because they're always a great way to satisfy our itch of performing a Shawshank Redemption style escape from a high-security penitentiary."
Starting today, The Escapists is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until September 30 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim it, it’s yours to keep.
