Finally the famous Prison Architect will be available on June 28 in the three consoles, and is that after winning millions of dollars with this Simulator, it was time that we had the possibility to buy it both in digital and physical format for Xbox One, Xbox360 and PlayStation 4.
For those who don’t know what Prison Architect, developed by Double Eleven in collaboration with Introversion Software, he was winner of a BAFTA 2016 Award and nominated best British game. It was shown for the first time in a crowfunding asking for support in order to come to light, and in just two weeks were made with almost three hundred thousand dollars to start. Today it has millions of downloads on the Steam platform.
It is a construction and management, where we will have the opportunity to operate as an architect and a prison warden. We will be responsible for managing all aspects of the prison, since the creation of cells, connect them to the network of water, cleaning, hiring of personnel, including security, cooks, doctors, psychologists, etc.
To start the game can choose whether to play the “freestyle” or “primary campaign” that untangles a history of jealousy, defeats, murders, deceit, embezzlement, lies and betrayal, which in this case acts as a tutorial, taking us little by little for all the situations that can arise in a jail, as hostages, murders, fires, leaks, etc. and teaching us to pass these out.
In freestyle can choose one of the prisons pre-built for the game, download US prisons of other players or by otherwise starting from scratch giving free rein to our imagination. Curiously, some famous prisons for its history will be available for download, like Rikers Island (the so famous penitentiary in East Rivers in New York), Fox River, the criminal Prison Break (some that another known character included), and even prisons that are reminiscent of a ship Star Wars. You have endless possibilities.
From here we will be responsible for deciding how we want to manage our jail, resembling in greater or lesser degree to other simulators such as Black and White or Dungeon Keeper.
Among all the options that we have to look for the welfare of our inmates is put phones, luxury rooms, rehabilitation associations, churches, gymnasiums and in general nearly everything that we can think of. If on the other hand we want to take more tough prison can opt to put dark rooms, electric chairs, guards aggressive… While the prisoner not die it will continue to pay us state, but what reactions cause with our decisions?
And is that not everything is as easy as thinking “I will do this”, since we can act with the best will in the world accepting infinite visits, and suddenly are plagued with uncontrollable contraband. Also the case that in our common showers are given many murders, can be us so we could opt to put toilets in all cells, but this in turn promotes the possibilities of each prisoner escape.
No doubt the development team has done a great job of research visiting prisons, speaking with former prisoners and jailers, and reading much so this game greatly resembles the reality of at least some prisons.
For all those who book Prison Architect is them will award with the DLC “All day and one night” valued at $10 which brings 8 new Governors, 8 new maps of prison and 8 new plots where we can deploy us at whim.
We leave you with the official trailer of Prison Architect Two brothers in which we can appreciate the fun aesthetics of the game and some contingencies that may happen to us depending on our management.
