Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Latest in each market: best UK #79, worst BR #94 · 5 markets collected
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.71/day in the week to Aug 26 → 11.14/day in the week after.

Each DLC is estimated with the same model as a game, then summed — a modeled figure, not reported DLC sales.
Sums Steam only; GOG, Epic publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

游戏特性非常多,玩起来很困难,推荐用Chatgpt协助,可以解决很多游戏中的困惑。
Started up again after a few years without playing. Multiple logo screens...weird. Tutorial level one is changed...weird. Tutorial level two can't put out the fire...welp they can't test their software and it's toast now, uninstall and find another management sim. Good job, dudes.

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Great game, minor bugs but you can work around them and most fix themselves. Keep in mind there are a lot of mechanics to the game and can get annoying, also many of the features and items are locked in the DLCs. So buy everything if you can you wont regret it, especially if you like city builder games. You can change the game settings when you make a new prison, just go to Extras tab in the in game menu to change the game and mutator settings to test them out. A little almost invisible tab on the escape menu on the bottom left turns the game 3D. Only real downside to this game is having to google or youtube how to do things frequently because the tutorial leaves a lot of things out. But that goes for any game that has depth. Everything else just takes experience playing around with to get them to work properly. After playing 170 hours I can confidently say all the negative reviews are surly from people who didnt have the time to learn how to play the game or didnt want to buy the DLCs to get the games full potential. To each their own.

我是2020年看了哔站超果果MC的视频所以决定花90块买来这个游戏的,也是我使用steam的起始,这个游戏虽然有一些不尽人意的地方,但我认为总体上是非常好玩的,我由衷推荐那些喜欢玩沙盒建造和策略管理的人可以玩这款游戏。唯一的缺点就是内容不配价格的DLC了
constant crashes
Fun game but the bugs are often madening, and its really annoying that features that should be in the core game, like security checkpoints, are instead in a random dlc with no real indication that you have to buy it to fix problems. I'm still going to give it a thumbs up, but the bugs, poor design decisions, and dlc requirements to have a fully playable game are pretty maddening at times.
This is a fun game, BUT there are way too many bugs that make the overall experience much worse. If you do buy it, the first thing you should do is install the Ozone's Fixes mod from the Steam workshop, which fixes most bugs (It shouldn't take a modder to make a game playable, but I do very much appreciate the person who made the mod).
游戏可玩性很高,完全玩不腻,是我所有游戏里面最爱的一款建筑类游戏。缺点也很明显:上手难度有点高对新手不是很友好,有些bug特别是对于新手而言根本分不清是游戏bug.还是自己没有操作好,游戏内部的教程也不够仔细,很多地方提示该更多一点,就比如因为监狱不是封闭而无法到达食堂这类问题应该说清楚
优化烂的要命,bug非常多,完全一坨
