Description

Welcome to Space Prison, inmate. Surviving is only the first step. To craft a way out, you'll need to navigate the prison hierarchy using social RPG mechanics, tactical combat, and a whole lot of space rats. Can you escape where others have failed?

DEATH IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR A SHORTER SENTENCE.

Game features:

  • Choose your prisoner from 3 races and criminal skills
  • Join one of two gangs: Gravity Fist or Hypernova - rise up their ranks
  • 18 unique inmates - build relationships with and learn their stories
  • Feed, tame and name different kinds of adorable space rats
  • Craft, equip and conceal items to aid your escape and upgrade your cell
  • Manage your squad and lead them into brawls for resources and respect
  • Fight in turn-based brawls against all kinds of prison residents
  • If you die, get reborn in a new body

JOIN A SPACE GANG

Rise up the ranks of a prison gang, with unique alien members who have their own stories and fighting styles. Unlock a gang hideout that will expand your tools and means of escape. Climb up the ranks by fighting your way up the hierarchy to become the new boss.

TACTICAL TURN-BASED COMBAT

Fight for your life in fast-paced, tactical turn-based brawls. Use improvised weapons and armour, as well as your skills and allies to successfully explore the facility and avoid becoming another unrecoverable corpse.

MAKE ALLIES TO SURVIVE

There are up to 18 different inmate stories to discover as you gain their respect and build up your squad from adorable space rats to hardened criminals. Doing jobs for them will provide you with much needed intel and materials as well.

CRAFT CONTRABAND

Scavenge for scrap, destroy prison property, upgrade your cell - craft illegal tools, weapons and materials to equip you and your squad. Keep contraband concealed to not get caught at security checkpoints.

DEATH IS NOT AN ESCAPE

Dying in Space Prison doesn’t mean you can dodge your life sentence. Should you be taken out, the rogue-lite recovery system will bring you back. However, your mind must be transferred into a new body, perhaps more alien than before. At least your cell is the same, all your hidden contraband exactly where you left it.

The combat feels unfinished grenades don't explode, weapons still show as your character using their fists WTF?!?! Knives when thrown just involve an animation where the player points their finger. When combat is half

Game is fun at first but as other reviews have said, quickly becomes repetitive with arbritary tasks to try and boost difficulty. I about lost it at the 'get a hacking chip 2.0' thing for the charge a battery quest. far

Customisation is very small limited to about 9 cosmetics in total for 3 races. (there is no gender pick) Gameplay is nice and fun but the final boss is so weak I still beat it even when I forgot to repair my broken

Its honestly really fun and unique... until you progress and unlock a few things. Then you realize it's just an endless loop with no carrot. Weapon balance is a joke too. You get a stun baton about half way through the

This is a fun game to play, but who boy is the user interface terrible. For instance you have very limited inventory space, but after fighting a battle in a corridor, anything you can't immediately fit into inventory

Overall a fun game! Would recommend for the interesting setting, fun crafting, and awesome art. I found the combat serviceable and the social RPG elements very shallow. Would recommend overall.
