Everybody has a boss.
It's perfectly natural.

The year is 2035, it's Harry's second day at work at Roarktown Prison System, and something has already gone wrong -- a nuclear bomb detonated outside his precinct! Under the coercion of his handler, the mysterious Ms. 27, Harry must find a way to convince a pair of mean teens to rescue him, or he will never Escape from Precinct 27.

A one-to-two-hour point-and-click grindhouse escape room.

A horror comedy narrative game inspired as much by grindhouse cinema as by 90s point-and-click PC adventure games, Escape from Precinct 27 is equal parts gore, grit, and guffaws. Get to know three characters with conflicting motivations as Harry tries to escape a prison apparently designed by an evil genius slash prop comic. But even if he escapes with his life, what world awaits Harry on the other side of the prison doors?

Oink, oink! Am I doomed?

Solving Doctor Python's devious puzzles won't be enough for Harry to Escape from Precinct 27. He'll also need to convince two mean teens that his life is worth saving in the first place. Becca, an honour student with a violent streak, and Nance, a rough and tumble wisecracker, have been arrested by RPS under mysterious circumstances. Can they be trusted, or will they abandon Harry to die at the first opportunity? And what about Harry's handler, the enigmatic Ms. 27, whose powers of mind control and persuasion keep her true motivations out of sight?

In horrible 4K

The downloadable 4K Deluxe Edition for Mac, PC, and Linux computers features the same gorgeous (and horrible) hand-drawn art as the Web version, but in glorious (and horrible) 4K. See every mangled head, severed limb, and punctured eyeball the way Doctor Python intended.

By supporting indie creators and purchasing the game, you'll also receive lifetime support and updates, a copy of the game's original soundtrack in MP3 and WAV formats, and even more extras and bonus materials to come.

Rated R for blood and gore, tobacco use, themes of coercion and police violence, cusses, and righteous fury.
