La Fuga replicates a futuristic 31st century prison, named Mazzinia.
Game play
The player's goal is to escape. In this future a global institution governs the whole earth, using control mechanisms over all human beings. They arrest everyone under suspicion of questioning any of the imposed traits. Thinking, feeling and doubting are crimes.
At the beginning of the game the player is led to a set of cells. Going throughout the garbage dumps, service areas and decontamination rooms the player has to reach the forbidden areas like the laboratory, the arsenal or the vital system.
A rebel hackers group called Free Mazzinia Command offers help from the outside. Following their directions gives the player the best opportunity for escape.
