Our take on Outside The Grid
The store presentation foregrounds explosive action and a revenge legend, while the playable structure is a team-based prison scenario. The central distinction is choosing between prisoners and police, with tools and deception shaping encounters rather than a clearly detailed single-player escape narrative.
What is Outside The Grid?
Outside The Grid is a multiplayer game set around a prison escape.
Players join either the prisoner team or the police team. Prisoners work to get out, while police officers attempt to stop them. The game provides tools for opening doors, stunning opponents, and disguising intentions by pretending to be friendly. Its story follows Kerbalai, a prisoner who attempted to escape after learning that his wife was seriously ill. After a cellmate betrayed him, Kerbalai and two officers disappeared. A legend says that Kerbalai’s spirit still seeks justice and locks rookie officers away, giving prisoners a chance to escape.
