Prison Architect, developed by Introversion Software, challenges players to build and manage a maximum security prison, from laying out cell blocks and inmate facilities, to managing staff pay and prisoner morale.
Prison designs will include basic necessities like cells, canteens, guard rooms, and infrastructure, but players can also include features like solitary confinement, workout areas, and even an execution chamber. The tablet version comes with enough to get started, with additional story-driven campaign chapters and more features available as premium content.
Prison Architect includes:
- Architect Mode: Build a prison and manage different prisoner types, inmate needs, and budgetary concerns
- Campaign Mode: Learn new prison-building techniques and get to know life behind bars through a series of cutscenes and objectives
- Violent Offenders: Manage different types of criminals and keep control through floods, fires, fights, and full-blown riots
