About the Game

You're not a guard. You're not an inmate. You're the cook, and nobody suspects the guy holding the ladle.

Every morning you wake up, stock the kitchen, and cook for a prison full of hungry, dangerous men. It's routine work. Boring, even. But that's exactly why it works. Guards wave you through. Cameras barely register you. To them, you're just the guy bringing the food.

But when the line forms and the trays start moving, inmates lean in and whisper what they really need. Slip a phone under the mashed potatoes. Poison a snitch's dinner. Pass a note that might start a bloody war between two cell blocks you didn't even know were feuding. Say yes, and you can make a fortune. But be careful—one wrong move, and this kitchen is the last free place you'll ever see.

KEY FEATURES

  • Hide in Plain Sight: Play the one character prison games never let you play: the cook. Be the man everyone sees, but nobody suspects.

  • The Perfect Cover: Complete a full daily routine—shop for ingredients, cook, serve, and clean up—that doubles as the ultimate front for your illegal activities.

  • Dirty Work: Take on smuggling, poisoning, sabotage, and courier jobs for inmates who each want something different from you.

  • Dynamic Suspicion System: Stay on your toes. Guards patrol, cameras sweep the room, and the warden can show up when you least expect it.

  • Two Different Worlds: Switch between the tense, first-person prison life in the kitchen and the unforgiving reality of the black market and the streets.

  • Black Market Trading: Buy and sell contraband on the outside to fund your one-way ticket to freedom.

  • No Turning Back: Every day is a save file. One bad decision means starting that day over—or facing much worse consequences.

  • No Guns, No Combat: You have no weapons. Just a ladle, a tray, and your wits.

THE LOOP

Cook. Serve. Take the job nobody else has the guts to take. Keep an eye on the suspicion meter and know exactly when to lay low for the day. Do it all again tomorrow. Do it enough times, and you might just walk out the front gate—if the guards don't figure out who's really running this place first.

Prison Cook Simulator is currently in development.
