Prisonscape is an adventure/RPG game that is taking place in prison. The player needs to survive in this harsh and violent environment. Inside you have to deal with such things as constant assaults, creating and using weapons, interacting with other prisoners and learning the trade inside the jail. The player can develop his character to be, for example, a strong, tough fighter or an intelligent, charismatic manipulator.
- Craft makeshift weapons and other useful items out of the stuff lying around the prison
- Control the main character and his henchmen in grid and turn-based combat
- Use special attacks and defenses from the "book of dirty tricks". These attacks and defenses are based on your character statistics and skills
- Deal and/or use drugs which give you various bonuses and disadvantages (including addiction) in the game
- Join a prison gang and start riots
- Gain (and lose) reputation by doing jobs for other inmates and guards
- Solve problems by using your intelligence and/or your muscles
- Study and train inside the prison to become proficient in many of the skills in Prisonscape, including fighting, literacy and pickpocketing
- Lose all your stuff in shakedowns or gain benefits and hindrances from various random events in the game
- Snitch to the guards about other inmates to get some nice bonuses such as better jobs, cigarettes and rec time (but don't get caught!)
