Cuff Bust revealed at Summer Game Fest, as a 20-player prison escape

In Cuff Bust, players control one of up to 20 Jailiens, doing their best to get past the guards and live their best life away from the prison. They can hack into terminals, use screwdrivers to batter away screws and climb through air ducts, and throw soap at their enemies, all in the name of breaking free.

Perhaps the most interesting thing is that it’s a group game of 20 players. These are not sophisticated criminals, so the “hacking” consists of mashing their faces on keyboards and slapping a screwdriver against a screw to “open” the ducts.

They can even hurl sticks of dynamite at riot guards to stop them from pursuing. The end of the trailer showed the Jailiens resting on the beach, smoking, and relaxing, once they had taken off in the helicopter. Sadly, it has no release date, but it can be wishlisted on Steam.
