What real reviews say
★★★★ Childhood game Love it till this day
★★★★★ Great game to kill time Even though this game is basically abandoned, I wish there’s more character customization and a custom prison maker so that there can be more replay value. And also, update the game once in awhile because, it’s starting to suffer from code rot
★★★★ Booted out repeatedly I absolutely love this game and I want to play it even more, but opening desks kicks me from the game!!! It restarts and I need to reopen it each time and it is so frustrating. Pretty please fix this bug :(( I paid for this game
