Cougar Creek Railroad

Cougar Creek Railroad is the first transport prison of The Escapists 2. The player is the only inmate of the prison and must escape in the allocated time. As it is the first mobile prison

prison of both The Escapists and The Escapists 2, it is a very unique prison and sets the player up for more secure and developed mobile prisons such as Air Force Con or H.M.S. Orca.

The setting of Cougar Creek Railroad is implied to be a means of transportation for the player, towards an unknown location where they will face execution.

Overview

Cougar Creek Railroad takes place on a train with a staggering number of cars. Each car fulfills a purpose; whether it be a Medic Room or containing contraband items necessary for any escape method. The front of the train is occupied by three Guards, all of whom are equipped with better Outfits and weapons than a standard Guard. A Contraband Desk can be found in one of the cars; therefore if a player loses their Contraband items upon being knocked out, they can regain them. This way no escape methods are failed, and can still be act out.

Description

You and the vultures overhead know what fate awaits once this train reaches the end of the line. If you plan to see another sunrise, you'd better disembark by whatever means necessary.

Jobs

All transport prisons, like the Cougar Creek Railroad, do not have an employment system, as no money is required in order to purchase Contraband items.
