Alcatraz Builder is a relaxed prison construction and simulation game with a comedic twist. You take on the role of prison manager at a fictional island penal facility. Build cells, workshops, and communal areas, hire staff, manage prisoners, and balance budgets—all while navigating humorous situations involving inmate antics and resource shortages.

Key features

• Custom prison layout and construction
  Plot cells, canteens, workshops, exercise yards, and surveillance systems across your island plot. Design floorplans that optimize movement, efficiency, and security.

• Prisoner classification and management
  Inmates are categorized by behavior, crime and needs. Assign them to programs like education, therapy, or punishment to manage morale and control risk.

• Staff roles and deployment
  Recruit guards, cooks, medics, and educators. Assign patrol routes, schedule shifts, and maintain discipline through staff supervision and training.

• Facilities and utilities planning
  Build power generators, water systems, security fences, recreational spaces, and visitation rooms. Budget constraints force smart planning and upgrades.

• Humorous event system
  Expect quirky inmate behavior, comedic chaos—like escape attempts gone wrong—and strange emergencies that challenge your control in funny ways.

• Performance and morale balancing
  Keep both prisoners and staff reasonably happy. High morale can reduce incidents, but decisions like lockdowns or overwork can spark unrest.

• Financial strategy with progression
  Managing costs, granting early releases, or upgrading facilities all impact your income and growth—unlock new expansions and prison wings over time.

• Accessible management gameplay
  No prior sim experience required. Tutorials and tooltips guide you through construction, budgeting, and incident response in an approachable interface.
