About This Game

Hoosegow: Prison Survival is a choice-based survival game with roguelike elements, where your goal is to survive in a brutal prison environment. Every decision has consequences, every playthrough is unique, and one mistake can cost you your life.

At the start, you receive a randomly generated inmate with a unique set of stats, a crime, and a sentence. You must balance survival, maintaining your reputation, and achieving the objectives of your chosen game mode.

GAME SCENARIOS

  • Classic. Survive until the end of your sentence, at any cost.

  • Career. Climb from the bottom of the prison food chain to the top or die trying.

  • Hopeless. No matter your rank or status, just try to survive at any cost.

CHOICE AND CONSEQUENCE SYSTEM

  • Every event offers 2-4 action options.

  • Decisions affect your stats, rank, relationships with inmates, available events and dialogues.

  • Use items for guaranteed success in critical situations.

GAME FEATURES

  • Dark humor — laugh so you don’t cry.

CREATE YOUR OWN INMATE
