About Hard Time
Staying sane is just as important as staying alive, as you balance mental health with physical health to get through each day in real-time. Develop unique relationships with every other character - from friendships and romances to rivalries and gangs - and live long enough to see them change over time, with a constant turnover of new faces.
This special desktop release is fully unlocked as standard, allowing you to save your changes to all characters to make the world your own. Extensive controller support even opens up multiplayer opportunities - where a fellow human can take control of someone else on the scene to help or hinder the star player!

This review is more or so directed towards the pc port. It's a decent game in most aspects but in my opinion, the best experience is on mobile.5 found this helpful

The controls are too clunky, difficult, and confusing. I can't play on keyboard whatsoever, because using the arrow keys for movement is completely impossible to do with your left hand, and I move with my left hand on all games. I then tried controller, and the controls aren't good either. Why do I have to hold the right stick to do interactions? Why can't I change any of the controls? I've played and absolutely loved the mobile version of this game, but having to move around with a controller stick on PC is just way too clunky and difficult to deal with. Even if I can use the D-pad instead, I still cannot fix the confusing keybinds on my buttons. The way to enjoy Hard Time is to get a tablet device, such as a kindle fire for example, and download the mobile version. I tried the PC version out with skepticism and was proven correctly, the controls are absolutely unacceptable compared to the mobile version.1 found this helpful
Hard Time is a prison simulation that transforms everyday survival behind bars into a constantly evolving sandbox of unpredictable events. Developed and published by MDickie, the game abandons scripted storytelling in favor of player-driven experiences, allowing every sentence to unfold differently. Instead of guiding players through a fixed narrative, it encourages them to carve out their own reputation inside a dangerous correctional facility where every interaction has lasting consequences. Whether you choose to become a respected inmate, a feared troublemaker, or someone simply trying to serve their time peacefully, the game offers enough freedom to make every playthrough feel unique. Life inside the prison revolves around balancing relationships, following routines, and adapting to an environment where danger can emerge without warning. The prison population is made up of inmates, guards, and other characters who all react dynamically to your actions. Forming friendships may provide protection during conflicts, while making enemies can quickly turn everyday routines into constant battles for survival. The game's prison is divided into numerous accessible areas filled with int…1 found this helpful
