Surprising objectionable content.

I bought Prison Architect a while back when it was in a humble bundle. It had no esrb rating but the graphics looked so cheap I didn't think there would be anything to edgy, besides, it was a simulation game. Well after a few minutes there are some story scenes with some inappropriate pictures and I was a bit shocked. Anyway, let this be a word of warning to you guys about Prison Architect and I want to know if you guys have had any similar experiences with other games.

never played it, thanks for the heads up. I wonder if we can get a review of it so we can warn others.

Yeah, it'd be worthwhile. It has some strong content but most of it in a very cartoonish style. Fun game though.

Yeah the tutorial or story mode is kinda graphic, plus you can have inmates fighting as well as executions because... It is a prison architect. Even though not all states allow it. It has been a while since I've played it so you may be able to change it based on state now.

That's one of the reasons this site is so great - the reviews do let people know about any objectionable content before they purchase the game. :)

And I'll echo ccgr's suggestion. If you come across things like that and want to make sure others know about it, write a review! If there isn't one on the site, then we probably need one. Take a chance and try your hand at reviewing a game. You might find you like it!

Yeah, I saw Prison Architect available on Steam months ago, and I don't think the tutorial existed then... when I saw it on sale I bought it, and was quite disappointed by the graphic images (and swearing) contained in the tutorial.

One thing I thought they did get right in the tutorial, was the chaplain telling the prisoner on death row that God would forgive him no matter what he had done, but he still had to face the consequences of the law, or something like that. I was quite surprised, after being shocked by the graphic content, that they would get the spiritual side of the situation right...
