Hey Inmates!
In this post, we want to talk about something scarily uncomfortable - what if you were thrown into jail for something you did not do?

Being wrongly incarcerated is a nightmare that no one should ever face. Unfortunately, it happens more often than we would like to think. People are accused of crimes they didn't commit and then put in jail, their lives ruined by a mistake made by the justice system.
Richard Phillips was 25 years old when he was imprisoned for a fatal shooting in Detroit in 1971—a case prosecutors now say was "based entirely" on false testimony from one witness. He was sentenced to life without parole, released in 2017 and exonerated in 2018 after the University of Michigan's innocence project took up his case, declaring him the longest-serving innocent man in the United States.
Every year, thousands of innocent people suffer from wrongful imprisonment, with some even spending decades behind bars for crimes they did not commit.
Our protagonist - Thomas, a reporter - was embroiled in a situation where he was asked to look another way for knowing too much about a political scandal. However, he insisted on upholding his journalistic ethics and the ‘powers above’ threw him in jail for a crime he did not commit so that he would lose his credibility and be silenced for good.
Our game is centered around his life in prison and his escape.
Escaping from prison is an incredibly difficult and risky endeavor. But, it is possible. The key to successfully breaking out of jail lies in making the right friends and finding loopholes in the system that can be exploited or manipulated.

It is essential to understand the guards and their routines, as well as look for any potential weaknesses in the prison. Once identified, these weaknesses can be used to an individual’s advantage by forming alliances with others who are looking for a way out. With careful planning and execution, it is possible to stage a prison break!
Would you let Thomas die a slow death in prison or help him break out in style to save the world from an impending disaster?
