now this game has been an alpha stage for over a year why am I reviewing this game considering it's not an official release it's just that addicting and I'll show you why I've had this for over a year and it's one of the few games I would go back and keep playing currently available on steam for thirty dollars and as of this video the creator's did state they're pushing for this upcoming fall to release the final version version 1.0 so if they're practically almost done now if you were into management games like the original sim city roller coaster tycoon or if you have to enjoy on Netflix orange is the new black this game might be for you you've given a few workers to erect your prison building from the foundation and on up essentially you're managing sleeping cells the cafeteria showers and down to solitary confinement on the surface the game looks very basic and simple considering the not so serious tone graphics and descriptions of each cell mate but you would be amazed at how deep and partially how realistic this game can become but before discussing managing your inmates the physical building aspect is immersive in itself you do have to install electrical generators run piping for water not only through the toilets in every shower head but even to the kitchen area as well for the sinks balancing the physical needs of the building itself is a critical task to ensure metal detectors security cameras and just to keep the lights on working as well and with my prison clearly it was not built with logistics in mind and considering every path and quarter to other areas of the prison is a serious must have and besides the physical buildings you have to address your sensitive pansy inmates I guess being locked up for so long would drive anyone insane now prisoners over time will crave alcohol some with drug addictions will start to freak out while others will desire visitations with families now you can set up drug addiction programs rehabilitation hours hi are psychologists help with the more mental patients but when needs are not met they fight with other inmates fight with the guards and over time a riot can ensue causing mayhem to break out in the end requiring a riot squad to be called in but besides the obvious needs there's much that you as a player won't see contraband will run amp it in your prison has power tools Forks cigarettes and drugs are found when you perform a shakedown you can bribe with inmates to narc and other inmates to review schemed killings that are about to happen within the prison and just recently gang members are introduced that will rival other gang members within the prison holy crap now for you to assist with balancing the gameplay mechanics and unlockable management tree is available to hire armed guards and accountant or improve your security but it's one of the few areas where I felt it wasn't as deep as other parts of the game and granted there's no difficulty mode to adjust on the fly it's really controlled by you you can change if you want a combination or just exclusive minimum or maximum security inmates to enter into your prison each with its own issues but each class with a different payout now learning the game in the beginning isn't too difficult you just have to understand what goes in first and what pieces of furniture is required to make a room of room say a kitchen or an office yet all this will be disclosed on this screen for you in the beginning I would build rooms and it would always say it needs to be in an enclosed area but it looked enclosed to me but after that a couple of hours the learning curve is not so demanding but it is a good challenge though overall it's a good balance and the ideas that they put into place for the game so far has been very funny yet realistic to an extent that's where much of the fun comes from much of the replay value is found having options and the consequences of each but with that being said there's also that alpha pre-build looming over and how bad is it to be frank and honest it's not bad at all I'm steam and nearly 13,000 individual user reviews placed its rating as quote very positive again despite being an alpha stage the problems that I personally encountered that was very much a parents are some objects being stuck in the walls and there's some workers that build walls not from the inside than out so there's actually a missing section and once in a while inmates would die inside or become stuck in certain walls as well now there's also the odd habits of some guards just hang out in front of the prison while there's actually jobs like they could be doing or a fight that they can break up and for some odd reason there's times when the shoe is widely available but no inmates or s4 in those are the main bugs that I particularly seem and they are more that others on this team has voiced but overall it's still a very much playable and enjoyable game that's not repetitive due to what you can create why there whether good or bad and just to be clear I'm not sponsored nor have I or whoever built this game has been in contact I personally played this from time to time when I'm
