Hoosegow: Prison Survival
Demo available
About the game
A dark comedy about life behind bars. A random convict, a random charge, a random sentence. One goal: survive at any cost. Every decision opens new paths, or leads to death.
Original Steam description
A choice-based survival game about surviving prison without ever making the “right” call.
Hoosegow: Prison Survival is a survival game with roguelike elements where everything depends on the decisions you make, and the goal is to survive brutal prison conditions. Every choice has consequences, every playthrough is unique, and a single mistake can cost you your life.
At the start of the game, you're given a randomly generated inmate with a unique set of stats, a crime they committed, and a sentence to serve. You'll need to balance survival, maintaining your reputation, and completing the objectives of your chosen game mode.
