Reading order
Start with the first day if you have not left the cell. Use the cash guide before you buy. Use the tunnel guide when RETURN TO CELLS appears. Use suspicion whenever the bottom-centre percentage moves. Co-op and the STAFF ONLY page answer group size and story limits. They do not replace the HUD objective.
Which 13 Days to Escape [ALPHA] guides are published?
First day in Cell 13
Follow the HUD from the arrest cutscene through jobs, OJ's Deals, the window, the workshop drill, and the toilet tunnel, and know why that route still ended on Day 2.
Jobs, cash, and OJ's Deals
Use the recorded job payouts to budget the Saw and Screwdriver, and check the live OJ menu before you trust any second price list.
Window, lockdown, and the toilet tunnel
Saw the bars only after RETURN TO CELLS, leave through the window during LOCKDOWN, then unscrew the toilet and drill. Day 1 of the recorded run still rebooted into Day 2.
Suspicion, roll call, and staying in area
The suspicion meter is the bottom-centre percentage. The demonstrated way it rises is leaving your permitted area, including a climb onto the top bunk.
Solo, co-op, and private servers
The official group is you plus up to three friends. A 30-player server cap is not a 30-player party, and private servers were off in the November 6, 2026 snapshot.
STAFF ONLY door and what is still open
The STAFF ONLY door is the official night threat. No key, map pin, creature, or secret ending is published with it, and no code string is confirmed.
