To survive this hostile environment, you'll need to gather your wits and explore every inch of this prison to exploit whatever weakness you can find. It's up to you to make friends with the other inmates, or even make enemies with them. The goal is to break out of prison since you're not only saving your life but that of the entire city.

Growth System

One exciting feature of the game is the open character growth system. It's up to you whether you decide to be a tough guy and have your fist do the talking or be someone who hides in the shadows. You can even be someone who's a smooth talker. Get to learn different kinds of skills and craft tools of various trades.

Now the prison is enormous and there are a lot of places to explore and lots of things to do. Just remember to follow the rules or at the very least try not to get caught. You'll get to encounter different challenges as you explore this new environment.
