We usually collect shaving cream and talcum powder, synthesize "putty" to stun prison guards, get keys, synthesize keys with putty to get key mold contraband, put the remaining keys back on prison guards, and synthesize "melted shaving cream" with "lighters" and "combs".
Another prison-themed simulated business game, produced by MouldyToofStudios and distributed by Team 17, is of course different from Prison Architect. In "Prison Break", the prisoners tried their best to fight with the prison guards with various tools, and finally managed to escape from prison. Your interaction with other prisoners and guards in the game will affect their attitude towards you. People who support you can help you in battle. When you do something unusual, they will choose not to report it or give you some special help. You can improve your agility and strength in the gym, or improve your intelligence in the library when you are outdoors. These skills are all useful when you run away.
