The depth to which I have become at least partially institutionalized is actually a minor concern of mine these days. I hurry to add that my failure to escape after hours and hours of working at it does not mean that I am not enjoying the game. Even having eventually figured that out, I still failed the tutorial on the last step when I broke my shovel. Sadly, that ignominious failure shines supreme as the closest I have gotten to breaking out. The desk in my cell, for example, is opened with a very brief tap of the E key, but a longer press is for actually picking up and moving the desk. I hadn’t noted (nor, to be fair, was I told) that the E key performs two functions, depending on how long you hold it down. My problem with the TE2 tutorial turned out to be exactly that: my problem.
“How,” I asked myself, “could I fail at the tutorial ? ” Clearly I had forgotten the three times I died during my introduction to Insurgency, but that’s a story for another time. Sure, I started out with the tutorial, which I struggled with. I missed out on the original The Escapists, but I didn’t think that would hamper my progress too much when it came to trying my hand at the newer version, what with my decades of interest in real world examples. Yes, the "2" indicates that it’s a sequel. One would think that a background like that would make me a perfect candidate for a prison escape game called The Escapists 2. I’ve also seen or read my share of prison escape stories. Tunnels, disguises, single escapes, group escapes-I read them all. One of my favorite subjects was WWII POW escapes. I used to read a lot of nonfiction as a teen.
