To complete this list (and also follow up to your hoped-for "escape from the simulation" /g) the Qur'an explicitly says that "this life is an illusion and a pastime" and in the Sura of the Jinn, we are informed by these non-Human sentient beings that they have been trying for a very long time to escape but have always been frustrated in their attempts.

Regarding Buddhism, in the Lotus Sutra, the Buddha, to the apparent dismay of a few thousand attendees -- they get up and leave! -- informs that the Three Vehicles are merely devices to reach various levels of understanding, and that this world ("a burning old house") was an attraction that attracted his children but unfortunately they got caught up in the illusion and now need enticements (the Three Vehicles) to rescue them from the burning old house.
