The all-new business management sim Prison Tycoon: Under New Management from Ziggurat Interactive and Abylight Studios will soon arrive on GOG.com as part of GOG’s “In Development” program. Aspiring tycoons will have the chance to buy the game at a discount before release, and offer feedback to the developers throughout the game’s development prior to full release.
Prison Tycoon: Under New Management will be available via GOG on August 26, 2021.
Prison Tycoon: Under New Management features a different take on what it means to be a successful warden. In the game, players will need to maintain a balance of services and security as they strive to run and grow their facility! Players will need to secure funding from state agencies, manage the flow of resources and keep staff and prisoners happy while providing proper care for their charges. Whether they are constructing a new cell block or a VR therapy room, players must maximize their resources to grow their prisons efficiently.
“The feedback we have received during Early Access for Prison Tycoon: Under New Management has been tremendous, and we’re thrilled to invite the GOG community to this process,” Said Michael Devine, SVP of Business Development at Ziggurat. “Abylight has done an incredible job of continuously improving the player experience by adjusting game balance, updating features and adding new gameplay mechanics.”
Features of Prison Tycoon: Under New Management include:
- Build From Your Own Blueprints: Design every room, path, checkpoint, and cell block
- Five Distinct Environments: Select from tropical, tundra, taiga (boreal forest), swamp, or desert biomes, each with its own environmental challenges
- Hire Experts: Evaluate and hire staff to serve 12 different roles in running and maintaining your prison
- Secure and Protect: Maintain a secure facility using guards, cameras, watchtowers, and checkpoints
- Rehabilitate and Release: Evaluate prisoners, then provide the therapies that they need to be released, from the zero gravity room to VR therapy
