![]() You’ll be doing the inventory-shuffle dance step that’s familiar to anyone who’s played a traditional role-playing game. Point being: The inventory goes deep.Your pockets aren’t bottomless, though. The incredibly quick tutorial shows you how to take a screwdriver and get up into the ventilation shafts, but I have yet to come across a screwdriver in my game, or even have the knowhow and components to build one. I even learned how to make a fake fence cover, but I didn’t learn how to make fence cutters until much later. I know, for instance, that I can tie two bedsheets together to make a sheet rope, but that doesn’t mean I know how to plan an escape with one. Then, the next time some inmate decides he’s not taking anymore of your lip-or, perhaps, if another inmate has paid someone else to take you down a peg-then the ol' soap-in-a-sock gives you something with a little more oomph than your bare fists.īuy enough tips, and you’ll soon have more recipes than you’ll know what to do with.
