About Prison Architect
About this game
Forget beat 'em up... it's time to lock 'em up!
Get ready to build and manage your own maximum security prison in the 'Very Positive' Steam rated strategy simulation Prison Architect. With this Steam key, you'll be responsible for designing your own prison from scratch and ensuring that all necessary facilities are available - including a holding cell, canteen, infirmary, guard room and toilets to keep your prisoners in check... perhaps an execution chamber too?
INSPIRED BY THE BEST
Enjoy one of the gaming world's most popular lock 'em ups inspired by the likes of Dungeon Keeper, Dwarf Fortress and Theme Hospital, and join over 1 million players who've already spent time inside!
A PRISONER'S JOURNEY
Follow the story of Edward, who is facing the electric chair for committing a crime of passion. Play through four additional chapters focusing on different characters and aspects of prison life.
See Mafia Dons, power-crazed senators and other dangerous prisoners roaming around your customizable prison, and witness award-winning professional writer Chris Hastings at work as he produces an enthralling tale of corruption and human misery set against the background of the modern prison industrial complex!
BREAK OUT!
Once you've mastered the art of running your own prison, it's time to see life from behind the bars in escape mode!
Play as a prisoner hell-bent on getting the hell out of dodge - dig a tunnel, go for the armory or start a riot and slip out in the chaos - it’s entirely up to you. Use strategy to find the perfect escape opportunity from your own creation, or hit the random button and load one of the 12,000 prisons created by the Steam Community.
YOUR OFFICIAL PRISON ARCHITECT STEAM KEY GIVES YOU:
- Mod supported content
- 'Very Positive' Steam rated Indie game

This game is so fun that it has straight up ruined any chances I had of being a functional adult. I seriously can't stop playing it. Works fine on Steam deck too, so it can ruin my life on the go too!
