How it feels

You methodically juggle budgets, construction, and inmate control, turning a cold administrative eye toward profit and order.

What players say

Players are split, with many calling the game broken and others finding charm in its old-school challenge. The guard AI is widely criticised for not working, and going one dollar into debt ends the game.
