Description



Welcome Wardens!

Only the world’s most ruthless Warden can contain the world’s most ruthless inmates. Design and develop your personalized penitentiary in Prison Architect.

Key Features:

Customized Confinement

Allocate resources to optimize your compound, but don’t restrict the flow of the crowd lest you encounter a flood, fire, fight, or full-blown riot.

Invest and Innovate

Tap federal money with grant applications & direct your funds to combat disease, gang activity, litigation, and more!

Management and Muscle

Ensure your prison is *mostly* ethical and safe with top-notch staff including armed guards, psychologists, doctors, lawyers and snitches.

Detention by Design

Each prisoner’s criminal history requires custom treatment programs, labor schedules, and reform workshops.

Lockdown Showdown

Attempt a high-stakes escape of your own supermax prison in Escape Mode, or try Online mode to test one of 12,000 player-created prisons. Expand your empire limitlessly in Sandbox mode.

Good game but it is hard to understand at the begin i think there is some lack of tutorial and assistance but over all after a bit of playing you will probably understand (almost everything) so it isnt that big a deal. And last but not least: mods in steam workshop
  • Fun
  • Lots of content
  • Takes long
  • Can get annoying

I have played this game for a long time and its very addictive, there are issues however things like dead bodies piling up. At one point half of the prison was taken up with housing the dead. Its a fun game though. Well worth the money and I do hope that they decide to make second version, maybe make it a little more like the UK prisons
  • Very addictive
  • easy to pick up and play
  • glitches that cause issues
  • Little easy to complete

Out of many tycoons and simulators, this one is really well developed. I played PA since early betas and it's amazing how it changed for the better. Add many cool mods to that and you have perfect simulator to sink your time in.
  • Cool graphics
  • Pathfinding is somewhat poor

Great game, very exciting and challenging! When I first purchased the game I expected it to be a nice game but the game got even beyond my expectations. It's such an exciting game to play and one of the best prison build simulators game at the market right now!
