A downloadable game for macOS

Inspired by old 1920’s and 30’s cartoons along with physics-based party games like Gang Beasts, Big House Breakout is an in-development multiplayer party and social deduction game where the prison becomes the playing ground for breaking out or locking everything down. Try to escape by gathering random contraband, completing objectives, and avoiding another player from tasing you with a set of security cameras!

This game is currently in development, and right now there's a demo out for players to try out. It will eventually be published on Steam as a finished student project.

Story

After bootlegging some “giggle water” with 3 or so likeminded chumps and getting completely caught, you’ve been “wrongfully” put in the slammer. You must work together (or sillily goof off) to try and break out!

Or maybe you’re pro-prohibition and would rather enforce the laws of your great country and work for the badge. You can secure the experimental and state-of-the-art Breezeside Island Penitentiary from roughhousing scoundrels trying to escape through Dr. Gee’s patented system of cutting edge remote control taser cameras!
