This is actually a perfect intro to how I believe escape from simulation could work.
There could be absolutely no feedback on the success or failure of an attempted escape until the post processing is complete (after the heat death of the universe). Escape might depend on some entity or automatic routine finding something interesting enough to warrant a second look.
To escape, you'd litteraly have to cause a universe wide anomaly, then social engineer your way past the ones running the simulation.

All of that seems more plausible than the possibility that whatever is “outside” is something that any of us would actually want or be able to escape to.
