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'.

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. We are acutely aware of the sensitive nature of this subject matter and have been relentless in our pursuit of staying true to our original intent. We are honored to bring this game to life. May all parents and children be understood, and treated with kindness and gentleness.

Breakout 13 is a uniquely intense and emotionally charged interactive narrative that combines cinematic storytelling with branching gameplay. Inspired by real-world events, the game thrusts players into the role of a teenager wrongfully committed to a so-called correctional facility for internet addiction. The story is grounded in the oppressive atmosphere of such institutions, where extreme measures—like corporal punishment, emotional manipulation, and even electroshock therapy—are normalized in the name of “discipline.” Through its grounded yet unsettling narrative, the game delves into themes of power abuse, social alienation, and the resilience of youth under authoritarian pressure. It's not just a tale of escape; it’s about understanding systems of control, choosing your response to oppression, and questioning what it means to survive and resist. The game's structure unfolds in two main parts: the base game, Gratitude, and the DLC, Fight, which together form a complete ...

Holy cow~ This game has a lot of content. I have played so far 3 hours on it. It is spoken in Mandarin Chinese with subtitles. I recommend you actually be able to understand Chinese in order to play this because the English translations aren't exact. It's a very interesting concept. There is also integration with video game controls, so you can actually influence the main character's actions by doing things like swiping to fight. There are a ton of decision points. The story line is interesting and for those who are familiar with Asian culture, this is spot on. I found this SUPER absorbing. If you like Chinese Dramas and can relate to the intensity of Asian parenting, this will resonate with you. I got betrayed a couple of times in this game. It made me have strong "feels" for the character. I really hope I am able to make it to a positive ending. For the price, I definitely think you will get your money's worth. I'm only starting chapter 4/10 and I've already played this for 3 hours...
