About This Game

The Yard – Escape from Prison

The Yard – Escape from Prison is an uncompromising first-person (FPS) online co-op game wrapped in a stylish retro low-poly and pixel art aesthetic. Imprisoned within the walls of a maximum-security complex, your goal is simple yet daunting: break out. Will you outsmart the system as a lone wolf, or team up with friends to execute the ultimate prison break?

Survive the Daily Routine & Stay Alert

Life behind bars is dictated by a strict schedule. Your day kicks off locked in your cell, followed by breakfast in the canteen, free time, work shifts, and ends with communal showers and sleep. Every phase of the day offers a new window of opportunity for exploration—but also high risk. Break the rules, and the vigilant guards will ruthlessly throw you into solitary confinement, where you'll have to endure your time in isolation.

Devise a Plan, Craft Your Tools, and Break Out

Freedom isn't handed to you. The current version of the game features multiple escape routes, but none of them are easy. You'll need to scavenge the prison grounds, gather resources, and craft essential tools to aid your breakout. Take on 4 different jobs across 3 unique workstations to earn cash or gain access to restricted materials.

Cooperate or Compete (Up to 6 Players!)

Conquer the prison walls together! The game fully supports online co-op for up to 6 players, alongside a local 2-player Split-Screen mode. Work as a team, split up tasks, gather materials together, and share vital intel. But remember—once you cross the perimeter, the final scoreboard awaits. End-game ratings will reveal who managed their time best and earned the title of the ultimate escape artist!
