The Escapists is a time management prison escape game that gives you the "freedom" to live the life of a prison inmate, ultimately plotting and pulling off a daring escape!

Escaping won't be easy though. You'll have to work around the strict prison schedule and avoid the unwanted attention of guards. Craft weapons and tools found (or stolen) from within the prison, but beware of cell shakedowns. Get a job or perform “favours" for your fellow inmates to purchase vital supplies, all while scouting escape routes.

All that stands between you and freedom is a perfectly executed escape plan. It’s Make or Break Time.

Once The Escapists and The Wolf Among Us, the current free games on the Epic Games Store, have run their course, it will be up to a yet undisclosed twelve titles becoming free between December December 19 until January 1, 2020.

Key Features:

• Prison Jobs! Different prison opportunities to sink your teeth into… If you have the knowledge to earn and hold down these employment paths of course! Jobs include laundry work, woodwork, metalwork and cook.
• Favours! Not earning enough from your job or unable to keep one down? Why not take on one of the various favour types offered up by the inmates as an alternative income generator.
• Crafting! There are 100+ unique Items for you to seek out, some of which can be used to craft useful items with. Craft comb blades, fake vent covers, sock maces, contraband pouch and bed dummies!
• Different Prisons. Multiple themed prisons for you to try your hand at escaping from!
• Multiple Escape Routes.Will you work on collecting the items you’ll need to craft a shovel to start digging out? Don’t forget the supports and the quandary of what to do with all that soil… Or will you start hacking away at that pesky vent cover and attempt the hazardous prison roof? Watch out for the guard tower snipers!

The Wolf Among Us

Set prior to the events seen in the first issue of the Fables comic book series, The Wolf Among Us puts players in the role of Bigby Wolf, a man once more infamously known as The Big Bad Wolf.

Now the sheriff of a hidden community in New York City, exiled from the land of fairy tales, Bigby is tasked by the bureaucrat Snow White to keep order within a society of mythical creatures and characters trying to remain undetected in the world of the mundane.  From a chain-smoking member of 'The Three Little Pigs,' to a car-stealing Mr. Toad itching for his next wild ride, The Wolf Among Us examines the lives of beings straight from the pages of myth and lore, now trying to survive on the meanest and most run-down streets of New York City.

A consistent New York Times bestseller, Fables is one of DC Entertainment's longest-running series published under its Vertigo imprint since 2002.  With over a dozen Eisner Awards, including Best Writer, Best New Series, and numerous wins for Best Serialized Story, the FABLES universe has become one of the richest mythologies in the world of comics, imagining that characters like Snow White, The Big Bad Wolf and Pinocchio from the world's most beloved storybooks are real - Real, and living among us, with all of their powers intact.
