MAJOR UPDATE: Graphical Overhaul & Atmospheric Polish

We are excited to announce that a massive Graphic Update has just arrived!

We have been working hard to push the game’s visual standard to a whole new level, and this update is fully available in the free demo version as well.

What’s New?

  • Enhanced Level Design: Environments across the demo have received upgraded textures, improved lighting, and refined visual elements.
  • Refined Visual Identity: We have unified the game’s visual style to deliver a more cohesive, modern, and distinct look.
  • Immersive Prison Atmosphere: Reworked lighting, shadows, and environmental details now deliver a much more realistic, gritty, and authentic feel of a prison setting. Every corridor and cell now reflects the appropriate oppressive mood.

Jump in & Support Us

Whether you are returning to the game or jumping in for the first time, now is the best time to experience it:
