SchoolBoy Runaway puts players in the shoes of a schoolchild confined at home due to poor grades. The game unfolds in a first-person perspective, enhancing the player’s immersion as they navigate their character through the family home. The objective is clear: devise a clever escape plan to meet friends, all while avoiding the watchful eyes of the parents. This involves sneaking around the house, avoiding noisy obstacles that might attract parental attention, and using the household environment to your advantage.

Strategic Challenge and Problem Solving

The gameplay is built around stealth mechanics and puzzle-solving. Players must move silently, hide effectively, and use their surroundings to remain unseen. The house is filled with puzzles and hidden items that are essential for orchestrating a successful escape. Each item discovered can be a key component in solving a riddle that brings the player one step closer to freedom. However, players must also be mindful of their actions—leaving doors open or cabinets ajar can alert the parents, increasing the risk of capture.
