About The Prisoner
It’s over! You’re tired of sitting in your “special” prison with nothing to do, without even being able to see the light of the sun. You want out.
The Prisoner is a top-down strategy-based puzzle game where the key to progressing, and ultimately escaping, is maneuvering the guards and the other prisoners to activate pressure plates and magic buttons - as the only weapon the prisoners have is their intellect.
Maneuver your enemies by getting close enough to prompt them to follow you while avoiding any incoming attacks.
Ally with the other prisoners by approaching them. You will be able to completely control their actions, and as you have now commenced their escape process - if the main character dies, that prisoner now becomes your main character.
Trapped in a place that seems to defy reality, you must uncover the mystery behind your imprisonment.
Strategize your escape to ensure that all pressure plates and magic buttons are pressed simultaneously to unlock the door and ascend to the next level.
Each level presents a new layout, requiring you to think quickly and creatively while anticipating the reactions of those around you to discover a strategy that will ensure you surpass each puzzling challenge.
Escaping is no easy feat however. Once enough progress has been gained, The Warden of the prison will be provoked into stopping you himself. Use the knowledge that you've gained, and any allies along the way, to outsmart the system and secure your freedom before you remain trapped in the shadows of this new reality forever.
But what are these voices in your head?
You can hear what they say.
But what does it mean?
