Prison Architect

Prison Architect is a management sim about designing, running, and constantly revising a prison, from cell blocks and kitchens to security routines and staff deployment. The challenge comes from balancing money, inmate needs, safety, and logistics, with small planning mistakes often turning into messy emergencies. Its simple top-down look hides a surprisingly detailed systems game where every wall, schedule, and policy choice can have consequences. It suits players who enjoy construction sims, problem-solving under pressure, and watching a planned layout either hum efficiently or fall apart spectacularly.
