You play a prisoner plotting an escape by digging a tunnel beneath your cell. Work around guard inspections by covering the carpet and getting rid of the excavated dirt.
Dig with the tools you have, collect items found underground, and sell them to the guard for toilet paper or trade with other prisoners. Manage your energy and follow the prison routine while trying to avoid detection.
Spend what you earn on better digging tools, supplies, stat upgrades, and cell furnishings. Exercise to build strength, use letters for clues about where to dig, and make use of items such as glow sticks and dynamite. The game also includes gambling and additional prison chapters or challenges.
Players who enjoy the game often describe its digging-and-looting loop as satisfying and easy to get absorbed in, especially as finds fund better tools and upgrades. Some also appreciate its relaxed, low-pressure pace and the added choices of trading or gambling while preparing to escape. Other reviews say the routine becomes repetitive or is interrupted by technical problems.
The day has come when the book is no longer enjoyable, the jokes of the cellmates next door are no longer funny, and it's time to break out of this boring prison. Get some tools and start digging.
Maybe you can trade with the guard for some goodies, maybe the guys will give you something better to dig in exchange for toilet paper.
Watch out for the guard's inspections, cover the carpet, remove the sand you dig up in the toilet, don't get caught. Get food, better shoes, and bigger shovels. Exercise to have more strength and energy, buy better backpacks to dig more valuable items from the ground.
Maybe you can buy something from Mrs. Dorothy in the prison warehouse? Buy furniture, glow sticks, more beautiful carpets, and better toilets to remove the sand faster.
In Prison Escape Simulator, gambling isn’t just a pastime — it’s a way to gain influence. Money and reputation are all on the line. Every bet carries risk: you might get rich or end up in debt. Play smart, because in this prison, bluffing can be just as powerful as digging.
Read the letters with hints on how deep and in which direction to dig, and maybe one day you'll get out of prison?
In Prison Escape Simulator: Dig Out you can mine, trade, upgrade your cell and have tons of fun when no one is watching. A few hours of excitement for the price of a burger. Will you escape?
