Prison Architect is a simulation game developed and published by Introversion Software. It is a top-down construction and management game where players build and manage their own prison. The game puts players in control of constructing and managing a maximum security prison, from laying out cell blocks and inmate facilities, to managing staff pay and prisoner morale. As the game progresses, the difficulty increases as players must balance their prison's budget, keep prisoners fed, and maintain security. Players can also build and customize their prison, introducing a variety of unique features, such as solitary confinement, electric fences, and guard towers. The game also includes a story mode, as well as a sandbox mode with endless customization options.
