Crack that Whip! Take reigns of a privately run prison. You are responsible for the care, custody, and control of individuals who have been arrested. Begin with a low security prison and build it up to a SuperMax. From construction to daily operations, you must protect society while turning a profit. It’s time for lockdown.
The latest in the “Prison Tycoon” series, this project was just being started when I returned to the studio after completing my degree, and was completed for release September 5th. Like “Prison Tycoon 2,” there was a short development cycle and not much new technology. However, this iteration of the series features a number of improvements. Prisoner escapes are more exciting, and staff much more responsive; the new interface for giving orders to staff is far more intuitive. Timetables allow for better control over the day-to-day life of staff and prisoners. Some thought has also been given to the game balance, improving it based on what had been learned from previous titles in the series.
