Including Characters Such As
Muffles
Faceless inmate with no idea how they ended up in prison. Did the surgeons really need to sew their mouth shut?
Scarlet
Pseudo-religious figurehead who has promised freedom in exchange for the Warden’s head.
Shatter
Gang leader of the WARDEN KILLLERS. He’s mostly just recruited Pettys for now- but just you wait!
Constant
Anxious android security officer. He’s gotten a bit addicted to shocking himself to help clear his mind. I’m sure that will end well.
Pettys
Petty criminals rendered spineless after a little soft-lobotomy.
Half-Croc
Mostly teeth, anger, and a childhood filled with poor role models.
Released in Episodes
Episode 1 is free! New episodes are planned to be added every couple of months, so there can be consistent updates based on what you all think.
BossyPino is greedy as shit and this game WILL COST YOUR HARD EARNED DOLLAS. But regardless of when you buy, he promises you will get access to ALL future chapters.
