The Story:
In the year 2042, a socialist government is in power, but nobody had foreseen progressive dictatorship that settled in. The elites of the government hid behind a sham democracy, disconnected from the life the people were leading, and acted solely in their own interests.

The regime considered the dissidents as conspiracy theorists, treated them like terrorists and locked them away in highly-secured prisons, to prevent them from telling the people the truth about the manipulating medias accomplice of the government power.

You are Eris, a computer engineer and member of the Truth Defenders coalition.

After a clandestine operation to inform the people, you are locked away in the highly-secured prison Bulor 24.

But your knowledge on security systems will enable you to escape.

Your turn now to escape as fast as you can from this place!

Thank you :)
I'm using my own SDK, low level hardware access using asm routines, and C language for Gameplay. (I use VBCC compiler, the asm interface is much more easier than GCC's syntax)
I use Tiled for map editing and my own command line tool for conversion (check my website for tools http://orionsoft.free.fr/ last link at the bottom of the page)
