Looks like Prison Architect just gained some end-game options in the way of screwing you over when you do badly, hooray. Not to be missed is the massive sale on too.

This update adds:
  • Prisoner grading - giving you some more statistics on your prisoners status
  • You can now fail the game - Riots going on for too long, being bankrupt, too many escapes and too many deaths


The funniest thing is it actually puts YOU in prison if you lose, will be fun to see if they take this any further and allow you to do anything.

The sale is only on Steam, so DRM free purchasers are out of luck for a cheap deal on this one. Be quick there's only a day left guys!


How do you guys feel about Early Access titles going on sale, do you think it's wrong or do you think it's just business as usual?

Also, never miss out on a good deal be sure to always check our Sales Page. We almost never post about game sales anymore, keep checking there. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I bought it (had been looking to get it for a while). Thing is, I remember seeing this game maybe a year ago and they've added so many features then but no tutorial... The mechanics seem pretty easy to understand, but I have no idea where to start, what to build first, how big to build it, etc. So I'm going to wait for them to include a proper tutorial before playing it more. It's just too overwhelming at the moment and I don't have the time to spend hours and hours messing around to understand how to play properly when a 30 minute tutorial could do the same.

Also, I bought the package that came bundled with a few of their old games (for £2 more) and found Defcon: Everybody Dies to be really good, it's probably worth the extra £2 to get 4 more games with it.

@Mike - there is a tutorial (I have not completed it - read below), press Esc and "restart introduction".

I bought the game during the sale, however the game is totally unplayable for me. The tutorial crashes and exits to the desktop when I send Edward to the execution chamber. In sandbox mode, it also crashes and exits when saving. I found a bug tracker for both of these issues (and complaints in the Steam forums too), and the first one I mentioned was submitted in May 2013, I find it really unacceptable that this bug has not been fixed after 1 year.

Is anyone else having this problem? BTW, my distro is Manjaro XFCE 64-bit.

Looks like I spoke too soon, if I run the game in safe mode, then I am able to complete the Introduction (basic tutorial). And I was able to do a manual save in sandbox mode. So if others are having crash issues like me, give this a try.

Just bought it because of the bundle , I hate actually this kind of micromanagement,strategy games.
I am a man of action.... :D

@SW I am on Manjaro(KDE) as well and the game plays fine... maybe you are using compiz and thats causing you problems?

Hope they fix this soon.

It works fine for me on LM 16 Cinnamon, played 19 hours so far since the day before yesterday. Awesome game! The only thing I can complain about is the tutorial, it doesn´t cover much at all, so it took me a few hours to figure out how to get things going.

I love this game! It only gets better and better with each alpha release.
