Escape

This is a collection of three mini-games loosely adapting the May, 1983 Choose Your Own Adventure gamebook number 8 of the same name. In that book, the reader plays a secret agent underground in the nation of Dorado, a fractured rump state of the former US southwest in the year 2035. The book concerns itself with escaping from this totalitarian state and returning to democratic Turtalia; the game covers similar territory with less hyperfiction and more primitive driving and flight simulators, following traversal of a 3D maze representing town streets accessed after a jailbreak. With the player are three fellow travelers: Matt, resistance leader Zoey, and codebreaker Fred -- one of whom is a traitor.
