Introduction

Prison Escape is a turn-based puzzle game from developer notanotherprogrammer, built with Unity for browser play. The goal is to reach a green exit while avoiding guards and keeping camera alerts under control. Movement is square by square: choose a direction with the on-screen pad, press MOVE to confirm, and use CANCEL to clear a selection before committing. Guards and cameras shape the route. Red outlines show where guards will step next, and yellow squares mark camera coverage, so careful timing and positioning matter. Vents can be used to hide while working out a safe path. There are three levels, each with two layouts, plus Help, Pause, Retry, and Next Level controls. The developer recommends landscape mode, and a fullscreen button provides a larger view. Clicking or tapping inside the game enables browser audio. Created by Alex Freeman and Chris Bentley, it is a compact puzzle challenge about reading patrols and camera zones before making each move.
