Latest Patch

PRISONERS,

So. You think you're all "escapists" now.

A new facility opens its doors today, and it's designed with scum like you in mind. Cons, welcome to Camp Epsilon:

Epsilon is an open invitation for tower guards to shoot you in the face the very second you take a wrong turn. Your cell has no privacy, made up of mesh fence and no ceiling. You will eat outside. You will exercise outside. You will sleep outside. All under the watchful eye of my ever vigilant staff.

This, prisoners, is your reward for so brazenly ignoring the rules that society sets you.

Update 8: New Content Update 8 - Bug Fixes That's everything cons.
