Ziggurat and developer Abylight just released Prison Tycoon: Under New Management today. This is a reboot of the original Prison Tycoon title that features a number of improvements and changes when compared to the original.
We're looking at a new art style, some additional design tools, and more granular controls over all aspects of the facility and staff. Despite these improvements, the general idea behind the game remains the same: Build and maintain the best prison facility that you can while rehabilitating the inmates and trying to keep everyone happy.
Prison Tycoon: Under New Management is out on PC today in Early Access through Steam. You can get it for $29.99 (USD), or $19.99 until July 7th.
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. They’ll 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 constructing a new cell block or a VR therapy room, would-be wardens must maximize their investments to grow their prisons efficiently and humanely.
