This is a one-puzzle demo of the full version of Escape from Precinct 27, now available with more than double the content! We're leaving this project up as a NaNoRenO time capsule, but you can click the link below to play the full game for free:
An R-rated horror escape room buddy comedy about surveillance, friendship, and the carceral state.
The year is 2035, it's Harry's second day at work at Roarktown Prison System, and something has gone wrong already -- a nuclear blast detonated outside his precinct and trapped him in his security booth! With the help (or 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.
Featuring:
- 1 devious puzzle!
- 2 righteous teens to befriend -- or betray!
- 3 possible solutions!
- 4K visuals* by comics artist Andrew Greenstone!
- 5 tracks of brainscrambling jazz-metal by Altar Stone!

Hilarious puzzles, absolutely charming and relatable characters, and if you are into visual novels, this demo has been the most fun one I have ever played (I've played at least 40).
I play your game (and a couple others) and leave some feedback in the video below. you can also vote for your game to advance in my channels competition for best indie horror games of April at the following link: https://shorturl.at/48P6y (url shortened). I'll be 3D printing a model for the winning game to gift to the creator. You can see the winner of january's competition here at this link: https://rb.gy/94k98t (link also shortened)
Yo! Thanks so much for putting us on! you're play through was hilarious, and your overall Chanel concept is so solid and cool. I normally never care about this kind of thing, but I want to win so bad!
please keep up with it throughout the month, and invite your friends to check out the channel and vote for your game! it would be super rewarding as a creator to make a 3D print of your game for you:)
You bet, and make sure to come back on the 15th and play the full game!
this is so so so so good!!!! the most fun. love the art, the humor, the game play - cannot wait to play the full game. excellent work
Who knew that being a horrible cop in a horrible prison and getting made fun of by teens would be so fun! Great premise, art style, and characters. Can’t wait for more of the game to be released soon so I can enjoy more CopLion and teenage sarcasm.
Very good game
Thanks for making the video!
No problem
This game is freaking awesome. I never knew I needed coplion until I learned of coplion. Now I want more of coplion.
Seriously, the art on this is amazing, the humor is amazing. Whole damn thing is amazing. It just needs to be longer. Art style ... you guessed it, amazing.
Thank's so much for playing!
