Within the first minute of gameplay, I picked an UZI from the ground, proceeded to unload a full mag on a fellow inmate, ripping his whole left arm in the process. Guards accepted a bribe of 60 dollars so that they don't take me to court. After that, the same inmate wanted to pick a fight with me, but he just collapsed into the floor. 10/10 MDickie hasn't lost his touch

This game is a great base for a possibe new engine. mdickie shows a lot of passion in a lot of his works, I would love for him to combine all the games to make a "HARD LIFE" game where you can go do school, fight hte teachers, get arrested and sent to juvy, Survive juvy, Run a drug trade, Get busted again, go to prison, survive prison, Go on a podcast, Start a wrestling career. The possiblites are infinate and he has the blueprint for it.

Used a shovel to escape the prison. On the other side of the tunnel, my character dug up colliding under a piece of furniture. My character got decapitated in the process and died, all progress gone. Usually some people would yell "BROKEN GAME" at the screen, refund it and talk crap about it online for years. But in this case, it's the typical Mdickie experience and I wouldn't have it any other way.

within 3 minutes of me installing the game, my character already pissed his pants, and then a prison guard burned me with a flamethrower as punishment for pissing in front of everybody. Mat Dickie's still got it folks
