Don't know a good gametitle yet, but here's the story line. You are a convict, and you are planning to escape from prison before they execute u for the murder on the president. You'll have to sneak around, and get out of the jail with only a knife as a weapon. This prison should be one big level. After that, you will need to survive in town and get a way to America. I think it would be cool to make the game around the time of the Titanic. So you escape on the Titanic, and the game ends on a cliffhanger, because it sinks...
So, does this sound cool? And did the Titanic actually go to America (I think so, to NY, isn't it?)
