How it feels
A minimalist, retro-styled survival roguelike where each short, procedurally generated playthrough feels like a lonely, atmospheric novella with meaningful choices.

What players say
Players describe Borstal as a very hard, short survival game with two scenarios. The turn-based gameplay is driven by random events, and many find it boring after 10 to 15 minutes. Some praise its minimalist style and fear of running out of food, while others say the content is too thin.
