Schoolboy Runaway

Schoolboy Runaway is a first-person stealth puzzle game developed by Linked Squad that combines exploration, problem-solving, and suspenseful gameplay. Instead of facing monsters or supernatural threats, players must escape from their own home after being grounded for receiving a poor grade. Every move matters as strict parents patrol the house, forcing you to stay quiet, think creatively, and carefully plan your route to freedom.

SCHOOLBOY RUNAWAY - OUTSMART YOUR PARENTS AND ESCAPE TO FREEDOM

In Schoolboy Runaway, you play as Andrey, a schoolboy placed under house arrest after disappointing his parents with a bad test score. While your parents expect you to stay inside and study, your friends are waiting outside for an evening of fun. Determined to sneak out, you begin searching the house for tools, clues, and hidden escape routes without attracting attention.

Every Escape Requires a Different Strategy

The house is full of interactive objects and environmental puzzles that must be solved before you can leave. You need to do:

  • Explore every room to search for useful items.
  • Collect keys, tools, and other objects needed for your escape.
  • Solve puzzles to unlock doors and hidden pathways.
  • Find multiple possible escape routes.
  • Return objects to their original positions to avoid raising suspicion.
  • Stay alert as your parents react to noises and unusual changes inside the house.

Stay Hidden from Your Parents

Stealth is the heart of Schoolboy Runaway. Running through the house or leaving evidence behind can quickly expose your plan.

Stealth Mechanics:

  • Move quietly to avoid making noise.
  • Hide inside closets, under beds, or behind furniture.
  • Watch your parents' patrol patterns before moving.
  • Avoid leaving cabinets or doors open.
  • Use distractions to create safe opportunities for exploration.

Smart AI Makes Every Attempt Different

Your parents don't simply follow fixed routes. They investigate suspicious sounds, notice misplaced objects, and respond dynamically to your actions. Because of this reactive AI, repeating the same strategy doesn't always guarantee success, making each escape attempt feel fresh and unpredictable.

Multiple Endings Encourage Replayability

There isn't just one way to complete the game.

Possible Outcomes:

  • Escape through the front gate.
  • Find alternative routes such as escaping from the roof.
  • Get caught by your parents.
  • Discover hidden or secret endings.
  • Unlock different conclusions depending on your choices and exploration.
