PlayWay Announces Get Us Out, A Four-Player Prison Break Co-Op Game
PlayWay is attaching its name to a co-op game whose appeal rests on failure states rather than clean escapes, and AM Playhouse, a studio known for management simulators, is building it.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Publisher PlayWay S.A. announced Get Us Out on September 18, developed by India-based AM Playhouse. The action-adventure game has up to four players cooperating to escape prison, finding keys, disabling lasers and security, and freeing captured companions. Guards can be punched, tripped with banana peels, or pushed from balconies. It is planned for PC via Steam, with Japanese in-game display and subtitles listed on the store page.
The developer is AM Playhouse, an India-based studio whose previous work is management simulation: Ice Cream Simulator and Game Builder Tycoon. Get Us Out moves that team into co-op action-adventure, where four players plan a breakout and then watch the plan fall apart when a guard spots someone, an alarm trips, or a diversion turns into a commotion.
The comedic register runs through the guard interactions as much as the escape itself. Players can knock guards out, but also make them slip on banana peels or push them off a balcony. Footage shows a character touching a laser and collapsing on the spot. The prison has cell blocks plus outdoor areas with watchtowers and fences to route around.
