Colditz

A graphic adventure, set in Colditz Castle during World War II.

The game involves you escaping from the German POW camp. You can move around searching for escape routes and equipment.

A door which is normally closed has a German guard outside. If you show him your pass, you may enter. Other doors need keys.

There are eight escape routes, the most obvious being through the drains. When you have collected five essentials (compass, document, map, civilian clothes, spare food) you can escape. However, trying to leave the prison with the wrong equipment leaves you with 30 days in the cooler. This is equivalent to a new start.

Occasionally, a role call is made and you have 1 minute to get to the East end of the courtyard - if you arrive with escape equipment you're sent to the cooler for 30 days.

Five minutes of real time equals 24 hours in the game.
