Reviews
I played this too much for what it is but it's addicting.
Ever wanted to do things to prisoners you could never do in real life? like putting a shotgun down an inmates throat for looking at you funny or taking away their basic rights for speaking back to you? if so this is the game for you it has endless possibilities to commit federal crimes AS the government 10/10
GOOD
посадил юру сулиму в тюрьму
Its fun :)
.
make a prison and kill prisoners with no death sentence with a rat.
prison architect is just one of those all time great games. it might be pretty old, but the graphics style doesnt need an update. it is intended to be simple. many bugs, but there are QOL mods that fix most of them. i hope PA2 releases before i die.
ce jeu est bien parce que tu geres une prison et c'est cool prace que la justice a l'air d'exister
