This FMV game combines cinematic storytelling with diverse interactive gameplay—QTEs, puzzle-solving, deduction, and surveillance—offering thousands of unique story paths and eight major endings based on your decisions to escape, investigate, scheme, or uphold justice.
Step into the shoes of a game-loving teen, sent to a harsh correctional institute by Principal Yang for your supposed internet addiction. Inspired by a real-life figure, Dr. Yang, a controversial psychiatrist who advocated for electrotherapy to "cure" troubled teens. You will navigate a branching narrative and make choices that impact your fate.
Unravel the truth behind the institute, disguise yourself, protect your friends, and terminate this notorious real-life event. But watch out, as the villain of the story still holds power in the real world. Will you triumph against the odds?
The complete game is comprised of two parts: 'Part I: Gratitude' and 'Part II: Fight'.
This game offers you thousands of storylines and multiple endings, allowing you to do what is right and just within the game. In this game, you will experience unique gameplay elements rarely seen in FMV games, such as QTE (Quick Time Events), scene exploration, clue gathering, deduction, puzzle-solving, and real-time surveillance monitoring. You will be granted more freedom to imbue your story with personal significance.
Immerse yourself in a thrilling adventure where you excel as a skilled gamer in the virtual realm. Yet, in reality, you're a teenager grappling with internet addiction. This lands you in the infamous behavior correction center headed by the enigmatic Principal Yang. Brace yourself for a rollercoaster of experiences as you undergo the notorious "Gratitude" therapy, a harrowing journey of transformation involving verbal abuse, corporal punishment, psychological pressure from mutual accusations, and electroshock treatments.
Escape , if you have the agility;

About us
We are ALT Lab, a dedicated team focused on creating interactive narrative games. We firmly believe in the unyielding power of stories to touch and change lives, and we aspire to carve out our generation's unique story through a diverse array of captivating media formats.A little more to say
If there's a story that embodies the frustration that has been locked in the hearts of our generation of gamers, it's the one we're about to tell. Reality is often more fantastical than fiction. In the early stages, we conducted extensive research and interviews with various parties, including internet addiction schools and academies, and the staggering absurdity of reality left us in awe. We found that much of it stems from the malice of unscrupulous institutions, misunderstandings from parents and society, and our own inability to express ourselves when we were young. We hope that our game can foster greater mutual understanding.After more than two years of development and overcoming numerous challenges, we completed filming in various locations during the pandemic and went through multiple rounds of game polishing.

Probably my first FMV game. It was good.3 found this helpful
Disturbing and great, very upset the game forces "DLC" to actually finish the game though, kind of shady? However I think the game is worth it, it would be nice if the game and its DLC were packed together as a full game because as it stands breakout13 is definitely incomplete. It seems very shady and I only picked up the DLC because its on sale.1 found this helpful

这是我玩的第一部影游,我认为它是一个非常好的影游入门作。 游戏性是足够的,有多种符合剧情的小游戏,引导和难度也都适中。 剧情选择了杨永信戒网瘾学校的题材,对我来说挺新奇的。服务于对戏剧张力的需求,做出了一些设定上的改动,我认为是还算合理和可接受的。故事线虽然显得有些理想化,但普通剧本所需的悬念、张力,作为游戏所需的策略性和爽感都是有的,我非常满意。UI设计也不错。 影片的质感也非常好。道具设计符合背景,演员无论是妆造还是演技都很贴合角色,没有特别出戏的情况。除了有时候感觉主角的演技有点呆滞,但无伤大雅。 非常好的作品!
I'm a big FMV game fan and have played dozens over the years. It doesn't take much to make me happy, but ultimately I was let down by this game. The story and the FMV scenes are fine. But this game is too clunky with too many unexplained dead ends to recommend. I shouldn't have to keep coming back to Steam Communities to figure out where I went wrong.
another 9/10 Masterpiece based on true story
