Content notice

The game is set in a prison colony where inmates treat each other rough. Prisoners threaten, extort, and attack one another. Fights are often rough and personal rather than cinematic. When characters are hit, there are blood splatter effects, impact sounds, and pain cries. But every fight with another human has a consequence.
