cash left in the prison cell, a breakout plot by prisoners, a warden who
is nice only to Roy, the mysterious death of the old man who died in a
hole six months ago - is this a conspiracy? Now, the unprecedented
jailbreak begins. Escape Trick is a "breakout adventure game" in
which players use the stylus to search, use and combine various items in
the cell and attempt to escape. Not only the items, but also the
letters and symbols in the room can be significant hints for a breakout.
