Each choice creates branching paths, providing a deeply interactive narrative.

Exploration and City Interaction

The game features 31 fully accessible streets within the city, each unlocking additional areas as players progress. Numerous city locations are available, including police stations, gas stations, garages, second-hand car dealers, nightclubs, and firearms shops. These points of interest expand the interactive environment, offering diverse gameplay opportunities.

Robbery and Special Missions

Version 0.8 introduces over 60 new interactive points, including two dedicated bank robbery levels. Robbery missions provide a new mode of gameplay, allowing players to engage in strategic planning and execution. This system is designed to expand in future updates, adding further depth and complexity.

Carrier and Transportation System

The game includes a detailed carrier system, enabling players to purchase and use vehicles from second-hand car shops, branded car stores, and even school environments. Vehicles vary in type, style, and color, affecting the transportation of goods and speed on city streets. Vehicle use impacts market demand, raw material purchases, and overall efficiency of business operations.

Industrial Investment and Economy

Players can now invest in industries, factories, and stores. By collaborating with suppliers, business owners, and local officials, players can expand sales channels, acquire shares, and manage raw material procurement. The market value of shops and industries fluctuates based on urban conditions, requiring careful timing for selling shares to avoid financial losses. Taxation is managed through a newly adjusted real tax system.

Underground and Special Facilities

Version 0.8 opens access to six underground layers, including a nuclear power plant and uranium fuel supplies. Certain specialized facilities, such as consultants and AIDS medicine rooms, unlock through specific events. Additional game functions are gradually revealed through hidden or open events.

Prison Management

Players act as the warden of The Pompeii Prison, located in the BlackCloud district of Crist City. Responsibilities include planning the prison layout and managing essential services such as power, water, food, waste disposal, and prisoner accommodations. Providing recreational and relaxing facilities is crucial to prevent riots, jailbreaks, or prisoner suicides.

Workshops and Production

The game allows players to establish workshops for nearly 100 different goods, including drugs, firearms, and RPGs. There are six main workshop types: clothing, furniture, electronics, handicrafts, chemicals, and firearms. Goods can be sold in the market or used within the prison, generating revenue and enhancing operational efficiency.

Specialized Prisoners and Staff

Players can recruit skilled prisoners from government and police databases. These include professional criminals capable of special missions like bank vault heists, jewelry store robberies, kidnappings, and blackmail. Additionally, civilian specialists such as tailors, carpenters, technicians, chemists, and artists contribute to workshop production, creating valuable goods from raw materials. Lawyers, bookkeepers, actors, former police officers, singers, and chefs serve as advisors with both positive and negative effects.

Market Strategy and Political Influence

Prison management involves strategic timing in the buying and selling of goods to maximize profits. Players can interact with gangs and criminal organizations to gain rare materials or support during critical moments. Maintaining balance among gangs is essential, as dominance by a single group can negatively impact the prison.

City Life and Activities

Players can explore Crist City’s stores and recreational venues. Shops provide skill-enhancing items, health-related supplies, and personal care options. Restaurants offer diverse cuisines including local and international dishes. Nightclubs, massage parlors, and entertainment venues provide relaxation and special services. Museums, theaters, and aquariums enhance mood and overall well-being. Public parks offer free leisure areas, while hotels improve stamina and physical condition.

Skill Development

The warden can increase skill points through daily management tasks. These points unlock advanced projects and opportunities to generate additional revenue, enhancing the efficiency and profitability of the prison empire. Effective use of skill development directly impacts the long-term growth of the prison and market strategies.

Continuous Updates

The developers continue to expand and optimize the game, adding new content, features, and improvements. Players are encouraged to follow updates and announcements to experience the evolving gameplay and additional interactive elements introduced in each version.
