Space Prison

About

Space Prison is a turn-based survival game where you play an inmate trapped in a galaxy's most brutal correctional facility. Your days are spent scavenging resources, reinforcing your cell, and dodging alien threats while navigating a web of prison politics. Combat unfolds in tactical brawls requiring precise positioning and timed attacks. Between fights, you’ll barter with fellow convicts, recruit allies, and uncover blueprints for escape. Every decision impacts your standing in the prison’s criminal hierarchy and your chances of survival. The game’s grim atmosphere and layered strategy stand out, blending resource management with social role-playing. With a July 2024 release date, it’s the debut project from indie dev Wooden Alien, published by Firesquid. Early access players note its punishing difficulty and slow pacing, but praise the depth of its systems and the lore hidden in convict backstories. If you’ve played prison simulators or tactical RPGs with a focus on player choice, Space Prison adds a cosmic twist to the genre’s familiar struggles.
