Muffles: Faceless inmate with no idea how they ended up in prison. Did the surgeons really need to sew their mouth shut?
Scarlet: Pseudo-religious figurehead who has promised freedom in exchange for the Warden's head.
Shatter: Gang leader of the WARDEN KILLERS. He's mostly just recruited Pettys for now- but just you wait!
Constant: Anxious android security officer. He's gotten a bit addicted to shocking himself to help clear his mind. I'm sure that will end well.
Pettys: Petty criminals rendered spineless after a little soft lobotomy.
Half-Croc: Mostly teeth, anger, and a childhood filled with poor role models.
And many more!

If I had to describe it in a sentence i'd say "Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass set in Superjail". Quite an unique game you won't regret playing.
[h1]TL;DR[/h1] Promising story setup that is sadly hold back by terrible combat, atrocious interface and boring deckbuilding mechanics -------------------------------- [h1]Pros:[/h1] [h2]Overall look and feel[/h2] [list] [*] Nice art style [*] Music is decent [/list] [h2]Story and world building[/h2] [list] [*] Story setup is promising [/list] -------------------------------- [h1]Cons:[/h1] [h2]Gameplay[/h2] [list] [*] As if deckbuilder weren't already boring this one however manages to be insanely boring, even for deckbuilder standards. At least for the first few hours. No idea how it evolves over time [/list] [h2]Story and world building[/h2] [list] [*] It takes some time until the story starts to progress [/list] [h2]Bugs + missing QoL[/h2] [list] [*] Interface is horrible. Weird keybinds, no keybinds at all for many actions [/list]

I have only played the first episode so far, but I have a pretty good first impression. The aesthetic and story are cool, and I'm enjoying the writing. The dev has talked about Lisa the painful being an inspiration for this game, and I can see it. I'm also seeing some OFF influences as well. Basically, your character is sent to an Alcatraz style prison, with a twist: criminals are surgically altered so that their physical appearance matches their crime (unless they committed a petty crime, in which case they are surgically altered to be kinda like an Elsen from OFF). I don't know yet what Muffles (the player character) did, but given how they look, and the fact that they don't really have a mouth... it must have been pretty bad! Combat is card based, which is alright, I'm getting the hang of it. Not a huge fan of deckbuilders but this one is decent. There's also puzzles, mazes, and all sorts of funny little gags like the player attempting to talk without a mouth. So far I'm finding it a bit slow paced, and I ran into a maze that is confusing me. While I wouldn't call this an absolute 11/10 masterpiece, I see its potential and I think I'm going to buy the other episodes.
Guys,,,, You wouldn't believe this but DEE is in this game, absolutely insane I know (Seriously though, If you're a fan of dark comedy, horror elements, and absurd storylines then you're in for a treat with this game, so play it!!)
So, I just beat this game, and the Discord has told me it is tradition to review all the chapters on steam after completion. So, here's the first part. SPOILERS(for just this chapter) The first chapter of Muffles' Life Sentence sets the game up for success. It introduces many interesting characters, from the hilarious Dee to the aloof rival Shatter. The combat took a bit to get used to(I thought having any % of Guard naturally increased your defense instead of needing to build it all up) but was really fun once I understood things, with some pretty useful cards from the inmates you encounter. Fathom is probably my favorite enemy, it was fun dealing with his fear cards. The atmosphere is by far the best part of this game. This chapter drives home the real terror of this game: Being in the same place as some of the most dangerous people in the world, and unable to communicate. My only complaint is, like most of the game, it's not always clear what you should do, but I love the way the game connects objectives. Oh, and Constant is a sweetie. The game still improves from here, luckily. BRIBE COMPLETED
Coolest game I have played yet, love the style and the game plot so unique!
Finished the whole game and i'm so sad i did. This game is amazing, i loved the story, loved the character designs, the soundtracks are crazy good. I wish i could experience this game all over again, genuinely liked it and had so much fun. This game deserves all the love and attention and i do hope it gets it. Great game 100% Recommend it!
