LOCKDOWN

Escapers try to get out. Guards and the security system keep them in.

Role
How to play
  • Escapers (WASD + mouse): in Escape mode get out of the building; exits are sealed and must be forced (hold E). In Reverse mode get inside and crack the vault (hold E next to it). Locked doors can be picked (hold E), but that trips a tamper alarm.
  • Guards: catch escapers by clicking them up close. Doors open for guards even when locked. F flashlight, Tab opens the handheld security console.
  • Security operator: sees guards but never escapers. Click a door to lock it, click a room to cut its lights. Right-click (or Shift-click) arms an alert sensor — limited to a few at once.
  • Override budget: every locked door / dark room drains 1 s per second. While everything is default it refills 1 s every 2 s. At zero everything resets.
  • The match ends when all escapers are caught, when they escape / crack the vault, or when the time limit runs out.
