About Prison Tycoon Alcatraz

✦ AI summary

Prison Tycoon Alcatraz puts you in command of history's most infamous penitentiary, where you build and manage every brick and steel bar while keeping thousands of hardened criminals contained. Balance construction, prisoner labor, staff hiring, and crisis management—from gang wars to disease outbreaks—as you run the escape-proof facility and expand your empire.

As warden of the most notorious prison in history, it’s up to you to run the infamous escape proof prison. It’s the end of the line…
• Brick by brick, steel door by steel door - build your prison from the ground up in Free Play mode or take on preset objectives in Challenge mode.

• Keep ‘em busy - put your prisoners to work around the prison cleaning, cooking and maintaining your prison.

• Anticipate escape attempts by hiring the baddest guards and staff around to manage the hardened criminals.

• From fires and gang wars to disease and rat infestations – it’s up to you to control the public enemies and maintain a balanced prison.

• Never underestimate the limitations of Alcatraz – from staff to prisoners you need to plan for everything!

• From guards to the administration– it’s up to you to hire and manage staff that can handle the thousands of harden convicts, criminals and escape artists.

✦ AI summary

Prison Tycoon Alcatraz suffers from significant technical issues that severely limit its playability, including frequent crashes, bugs in core mechanics like the tutorial and inmate reassignment, and serious performance problems even on decent hardware. Players report that beyond the first thirty minutes the gameplay becomes repetitive and boring, with the game failing to deliver on its potential as a comedy management sim in the vein of Theme Hospital.

This game is awful. You would think it was still in really early access if you played it. Please don't waste your money.
Not recommended Oct 9, 2020
Very bad. Game doesn't work half the time when does it crashes. Tutorial is bugged to hell and back. Inmates that have been confined to solitary are not able to be reassigned back to work tasks. UI is all over the place, forget 1080 if you want to actually see half the game. Such a shame this could have been one of those great comedy spoofs like theme hospital / 2 point etc but it fails to even save the game half the time. When it does play any population over 20 causes insane frame stop / game freeze every 3 seconds that last for 2 seconds. Totally unplayable after the first 20 inmates and 20 so staff. 16gb ram / i5 6600 / R9 290x Pathetic Rating, Should be removed from steam asap
