To do:
Prototypes in the form of early access versions.
Cactus 2.0!
This article has just been started and needs the article basics added.
Help us out and add them.
Careful, you'll lose an eye.
This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

The Escapists is a story where you escape several prisons, never actually knowing why you were incarcerated in the first place.

Unused Items

Yellow Keys

These items are "sold" by Glitch 66 (see below). They have no info, cannot unlock any doors, and are considered contraband. In short, you probably shouldn't carry these around.

Die

Though it can be seen in the DLC, the die is not obtainable by normal means. As said, it's found in some DLC by taking a "find this" task, but as the task is completed after clicking it, it can still not be obtained normally. It is not contraband.

Worms Game

This item is like the die: It can only be seen in tasks. The only difference is that you don't need DLC to see it.

Dirty Henchman suit/Tuxedo

In the DLC Duck Tapes are Forever, there are these unused items. Maybe DTAF was meant to have a laundry job.

Unused Text

This is possibly only unused due to a typo, but when you give a very good gift (e.g. Nunchucks), the inmates will only say one thing. However, they are marked to say 6 things. Inside of "speech_eng", it says...

[Gift_3]

  • Count=1
  • 1=Are you serious?? Thanks!
  • 2=Wow thanks!
  • 3=Awesome!!
  • 4=OMG thank you!
  • 5=Really?! Wow!
  • 6=Oh my!! Cheers!

As such, 2-6 is unused.

Free Movement

If you get knocked out at precisely 6:00 PM in HMP Irongate, when you wake up, you can move freely. This, obviously, makes HMP Irongate (the hardest prison) extremely easy.

Oddities

Glitch 66

Elementary, my dear Cactus.
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.

Glitch 66 (or called Glitch 64) is an Easter egg. They can change names and sell items for free, including the unused yellow keys item. It replaces an inmate for one day, and sometimes changes their name afterwards.
