Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Latest in each market: best UK #79, worst BR #94 · 5 markets collected
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.71/day in the week to Aug 26 → 11.14/day in the week after.

Each DLC is estimated with the same model as a game, then summed — a modeled figure, not reported DLC sales.
Sums Steam only; GOG, Epic publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

这个监狱建设游戏，我自己只能玩得下一周目 整体建设基本十几个小时内就能摸得差不多了 剩下能撑时长的全靠故事和特殊机制，可这些全学了P社祖传的DLC大法 其本体值得一个好评，但也仅此而已

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

我忘了我是几点开始玩的，但我至少玩了5-10个小时，很好很真实的模拟游戏，细节很多很丰富，可以把监狱看做城市，实现自己理想中的城市规划。
too many ****ing glitches
Дорого но вкусно
Great game, minor bugs but you can work around them and most fix themselves. Keep in mind there are a lot of mechanics to the game and can get annoying, also many of the features and items are locked in the DLCs. So buy everything if you can you wont regret it, especially if you like city builder games. You can change the game settings when you make a new prison, just go to Extras tab in the in game menu to change the game and mutator settings to test them out. A little almost invisible tab on the escape menu on the bottom left turns the game 3D. Only real downside to this game is having to google or youtube how to do things frequently because the tutorial leaves a lot of things out. But that goes for any game that has depth. Everything else just takes experience playing around with to get them to work properly. After playing 170 hours I can confidently say all the negative reviews are surly from people who didnt have the time to learn how to play the game or didnt want to buy the DLCs to get the games full potential. To each their own.
This is a fun game, BUT there are way too many bugs that make the overall experience much worse. If you do buy it, the first thing you should do is install the Ozone's Fixes mod from the Steam workshop, which fixes most bugs (It shouldn't take a modder to make a game playable, but I do very much appreciate the person who made the mod).
The new launcher just shuts down when I start it. They broke my game.
Lowkey thought this wouldn't run well or at all on my M1 considering this game was more for Intel Macs. But uh, 3 hours later and lots of fun. Runs amazing. You should automatically be able to play this considering most M1, M2, M3, etc. have a translator for the intel games. Game itself, amazing, makes you feel very warden like and just like an architect. Its a pretty advanced game imo and I would highly recommend it.
Started up again after a few years without playing. Multiple logo screens...weird. Tutorial level one is changed...weird. Tutorial level two can't put out the fire...welp they can't test their software and it's toast now, uninstall and find another management sim. Good job, dudes.
