Crafting note escapists3/12/2024 ![]() ![]() With that being said, I did not make any attempt to discover crafting recipes on my own. There are not many levels and the slow discovery of new crafting recipes is part of the fun. Putting the pieces together, this is intentional. The game does very little outside of the tutorial to provide the player with help on how to escape. While at times this made the game fun, it also had a way of making the game too frustrating. Note that for some reason, I had a strong desire to play this game organically. Unfortunately, after an hour of trying, I gave up. Today I returned to try and escape this first level, picking up from my first save. However, I eventually began encountering them sometimes they showed up as a sale item or more rarely in a desk.įrom what I could tell, the NPCs switch available favors and sell items approximately every schedule unit (e.g., free time, exercise time, lunch time). Intelligence seems to mainly come into play as a crafting requirement (for crafting, see next)Īt first I didn't encounter any of the supposed "Crafting Notes" that were said to be found in the game. Intelligence (see next) might be useful in later levels. While possibly not necessary for the first level, a useful action is to build up strength (followed by recouping energy: shower, eat, sleep). In general, the player can save money by finding weapons or looting weapons from other characters. A safeguard is to not have any valuables (red items) on you, just in case you get taken out. If the favor is to create a distraction, then what worked for me is to attack a guard and run around hoping I don't get beaten. Loot characters by either beating them up personally or wait until someone else beats them up. The favor is complete when the item is clicked on. If the favor is to retrieve an item from another character, that item may either be in the person's desk (in his cell) or on that person (requiring the player to loot that character, see next). One of the top actions is searching desks for common favor items (e.g., DVD, magazine, floss, etc.) It's not a comprehensive list of topics, but it's helpful. I didn't realize so much information was tucked away here. The first thing a player should do is pause and read all the topics in the help menu. Note: crafting recipes I found in my other save file carried over to this save file. ![]() ![]() However, it was getting late and I had to stop playing before I could make the attempt. As such, I started a new save where I tried to quickly get the screwdriver and escape. Though I got caught with an open vent.Īfter this escape attempt, I looked at the leaderboards and saw many top places finishing on Day 1. For example, how to complete favors.Īt the end of this long exploration, I learned how to correctly use the screwdriver. Today I played The Escapists which I acquired in the Humble Team17 Bundle. Overview: Live in a prison and do what it takes to escape. ![]()
