Escape Ghoul Prison

Welcome to Ghoul Prison! You have been wrongfully (?) imprisoned, with a guard and door blocking your path to freedom.

Ghoul Prison is a lockpicking observation game, where you have to time your lockpicking between the frequent gazes of an AI guard.

Get caught moving the lockpick and you won't get another chance. But don't take too long, otherwise witness a power failure hit the prison where all inmates will be released. Unfortunately for you, fellow inmates are ghouls and will eat you upon escape.

Controls / How To Play
Rotate lockpick: A, D 
Insert/Shake lockpick: Hold W
If the lockpick shakes significantly, you've hit the sweet spot! Otherwise, try another spot. Don't get caught moving the lock under vision.

Change view: Hold SPACE
You occupy the bottom middle cell. Keep your eye on the prison guard to avoid getting caught picking the lock.

Restart: R
Once you reach a game-end scenario you can restart with a new set of locks!
