Create your own inmate and attempt to survive in a prison where every sentence is a "death" sentence! Rub shoulders with up to 100 fellow inmates in a sprawling facility of 12 unique areas, each filled with fully interactive furniture and props. Plus a life beyond the gates populated by real civilians, with wardens enforcing dozens of different laws to keep you as far away from it as possible. Each day, you will find your health and mental state slipping away. Both can be restored by sleeping - which is also a good way to pass time. You won't always be permitted to sleep, though, so consuming food and drink bridges the gap. These, along with many other activities such as reading or watching TV, can also help to improve your mental state. If you "lose your mind" you will temporarily lose control of your character - and will almost certainly get into trouble! Your character also has a set of attributes that you are challenged to improve: - STRENGTH indicates how much damage you can inflict or absorb. You can improve it by fighting or lifting weights. - AGILITY determines how fast you move. You can improve it by jogging in the yard or scoring baskets. - INTELLECT reflects your knowledge - including fighting skills such as counters. You can improve it by reading books. - REPUTATION is how much other prisoners respect you. It can be improved by accomplishing tasks or intimidating others. There are also opportunities to earn money - whether you work for it with a broom, trade items at a profit, or run with a gang. Having money increases your opportunities to grease the wheels and make your life inside easier. You may find that you need to go to the toilet from time to time, in which case you must race to the bathroom! Alternatively, you could find a toilet to sit on or grab some toilet paper to spare your blushes. Failing to do so will damage your reputation and mental state. I regret that there is more to this game than I could ever explain here, so I hope you enjoy figuring some things out for yourself! Upgrade to "VIP" to enjoy the full experience without ads - plus access to the editor that allows you to customize your character and every other. BASIC CONTROLS: (*Look out for tutorials within the actual game) A = Attack (on its own to kick, with a direction to punch) G = Grapple / Throw weapon R = Run P = Pick-Up / Drop T = Taunt (interact with handheld props) OTHER CONTROLS - Press ATTACK and RUN together to launch a powerful attack. - Press any button with any direction (or none) in a grapple to trigger different moves. - Press RUN and PICK-UP together to set fire to a small object (which can then be used to set fire to a large object). - Touch the clock to pause the game and bring up options to exit. - Touch any speech bubble to speed through conversations. PERFORMANCE - If you find your device struggles to display lots of characters, considering keeping the "Population" option low. - "Speed Up Frame Rate" sleeping will require good performance at the default frame rate. - Head to the "Display" options to tone down other features.

Ok, so…I haven’t played this game in years and recently started playing again. I don’t know how many people are like this but I like to play as a specific person, however, when I go into the game to choose my character, they always give me ones I don’t like, never giving me the one I want. It always pisses me off since I’m sat here pretty much all day just to not get the character I want. And on top of that, the red back button in the top left plays up. So, when you have a character on your screen and you don’t want it so you want to go back, you’ll press that red back buttons, but instead of sending you back a step, it starts you on the game, regardless of there being a start button on the other side of the screen. I don’t know if that’s a problem for anyone else but it’s a problem for me and if anyone who can sort this out reads this, I’d appreciate it if you can help me

Loved this Game series ever since I was 9 which was 6-7 Years ago and I’ve been a Huge fan ever since, Recently after Reinstalling the Some of the Games it’s sad to here that Mat Dickie is Retiring, I’ve also noticed in some of the Games that now You have to Pay to Customise Avatars, Even though I Understand that MDickie needs to earn money, If you ever Return from Retirement to continue working, then even though I’m just one Review, I hope that one day you could Drop the Payments for Customisations Good Wishes,Another MDickie Fan

Personally I am a fan of this game but I would like to go over a few problems you can either change or just simply fix not just for my liking but for more people to join or like this game better and get it back. 1) For some reason you have taken away the chance of customizing your character with as far as I have explored, but you have not explained why. 2) VIP is a problem because people including me don’t think that paying to complete customizing is just a waste of time when before you could customize your player without including the VIP. 3) On the setting button before you receive your player has the option to what the officers wear but when I pick one for them to generally wear it does not go onto there body’s and still just wear the random option.Please change or fix these problems I have mentioned to make this game better and more popular then it already seems.

This game is awfull even with vip because anything you do you get arrested and never win court and yet they will steal items of you and you will get arrested for taking it back also the dialog I’m killing a warden and a random guy comes up to me and asks me if I’m selling a machine gun resulting in me getting arrested you punch someone 20 times and do nothing to them and they hit you once your on the floor with no happiness for about half an hour the game has no purpose and it’s faulty and bugged the dialog the main problem when your trying to go somewhere you are continuously bombarded with text yes you can skip through it but it still takes a while and gun logic someone gets shot they get back up you get shot your either badly hurt and have to wait a while to be healed or find someone to help you fix it yes you can shoot someone for so long and barely damage them and npcs always walk of screen aswell
