About Schoolboy Escape: Runaway
Schoolboy Escape: Runaway is a stealth adventure about a kid who has promised his friends he will meet them outside, and whose strict parents have other plans. The house is locked, the corridors are dark, and the only way out is to slip past them without being seen while you hunt for a route to freedom through the old building.
Stealth is the core of it: hide, creep and avoid meeting your parents at all. Sound is your best early warning, since footsteps and rustles give away where they are moving, and the old house adds its own unsettling creaks to keep you on edge. Every corner of the home can be explored, and solving the escape means acting like a detective, finding what you need and using clever tricks to stay undetected. A hint is available when you get stuck, and you can pause at any time.

How to play Schoolboy Escape: Runaway

Sneak through the locked house without being caught by your parents, find a way out and reach the friends waiting for you outside.
Controls
Desktop
- WASD: move
- Mouse: rotate the camera
- Left mouse button: interact
- R: get a hint
- P: pause
Mobile
- Joystick: move
- Swipe the screen: rotate the camera
- On-screen buttons: interact, pause or get a prompt
Getting started
- Look around with the mouse or a screen swipe and get a sense of the house's layout before you move.
- Move with WASD or the joystick, keeping to the shadowy halls and stopping to listen before entering a new corridor.
- Listen for footsteps and rustles, which tell you where your parents are heading, and hide if they come your way.
- Search every corner and interact with objects using the left mouse button or the on-screen button to find what your escape needs.
- Press R, or the prompt button on mobile, if you are stuck on what to do next.
Tips
- Play with the sound on; footsteps and rustles reveal your parents' movements, which is the clearest way to time a dash past them.
- Treat any meeting with your parents as the thing to avoid; hiding and sneaking are your tools, so wait them out instead of rushing.
- Search thoroughly before moving to a new area, since the house is fully interactive and an object you skipped may be the trick you need later.
- Pause with P when you need to think, so you can plan your next move through the dark corridors without being spotted.
