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.
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 you way up the hierarchy to become the new boss.
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.
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.
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.
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 Achievements will be added soon.

It's OK
It's a fun concept and on first glance it looks like there is a lot of customization and choice, but really it's very linear and very easy. Hopefully the devs go back and do a balance pass and make player choices actually matter.

will make you want to get a pet rat
I hyperfocused on the game and finished it in two days, but it's got a nice little pacing with a limited amount of actions per day, so it can easily be played a bit at a time. The progression is indeed linear as another commenter said: each npc has a questline that can be done in 2-3 in-game days, and you have about 7 npcs to talk to during you run. I found the quests pretty fun and diverse, actually (I'm kinda wondering if there were different ones with the other faction). There's not much handholding but there's no need for it: just enough is told about the world and goals to get you going at the beginning and you discover the rest as you explore. The characters and environment are nicely drawn and animated. And...there are rats. Cute little pet rats that you can equip with helmets and little capes and cute little weapons and send into battle! I named each one, and got overly attached to them and I really felt that -3 hope whenever they died. RIP Johnny, Jimmy, Rocky, Spikey, Bobby, Newbie and Sandy, you will be missed :( To recap, there's a good chance you'll have a more than okay time with this game, so give it a try, especially while it's on sale :)
