Becoming The New Prison Shop Keeper

RUNNING A PRISON SHOP IS THE MOST STRESSFUL JOB IN GAMING (Joint Venture: Prison Commissary Simulator) The only honest job inside is the one behind the counter. This isn't it. Welcome to the commissary at Las Almas State Penitentiary – where you serve the most dangerous clientele in the state by day, and move what the warden's catalogue doesn't carry by night. Every transaction is a small decision about who you'd rather disappoint: the inmates who can shank you, or the guards who can fire you. And let me tell you, that tension never lets up. SO, WHAT IS JOINT VENTURE: PRISON COMMISSARY SIMULATOR? It's a first-person shopkeeping sim with a criminal underbelly. You run the commissary window: take orders, pull stock from the shelves, work the terminal, and keep the line moving. Order inventory, restock shelves, sweep the floor before inspection, and squeeze a profit out of ramen, mackerel, and soap. The legit job pays the bills. Barely. And only if you hustle. But the real money is in the side hustle. Drugs, shivs, smuggled phones. There's a market for everything inside, and you're the only store in the building. Buy low from your supplier, sell high to the yard, and grow a black-market operation one risky handoff at a time. The margins are incredible. So is the sentence if you're caught. FOLLOW THE RULES AND REJECT RULE BREAKERS Every customer comes to the window with an ID, and not every ID checks out. Match the photo, the name, and the prisoner number before you serve, because a mismatch or a forgery is a write-up waiting to happen. The guards hand down fresh rules every morning: no service to D-Block today, limited stock per inmate, and more. Some days the yard riots and half your customers never reach the window. Read the day's rules, check every face against them, and turn away the ones who don't qualify – even the regulars who'll make you pay for it. BEAT THE HEAT* Cameras that never blink. A patrol guard who stops to watch. Random spot-checks. An x-ray scanner at the end of every shift. Cover the camera, read the patrol, stash the goods in your pocket, and pray today isn't a search day. Get sloppy and the fines stack, your guard reputation tanks, and the scanner starts beeping. Your prison pocket is the safest place to hide and smuggle objects. Use it wisely. MANAGE YOUR REP Your prisoner reputation keeps you protected and your customers loyal. Your guard reputation keeps you employed and the searches gentle. Almost every choice trades one for the other: undercharge a regular and the yard loves you, but the guard watching just saw it. Let either hit zero and your run ends right there – fired, or shanked. STACK CASH AND PLAN YOUR WAY OUT* This is a job with an exit strategy. Smuggle the right parts past the scanner, build your tools in the quiet of your cell, bribe the right people, and assemble everything you need to walk out of Las Almas for good. The catch? Every part you carry is a part that can get you caught* KEY FEATURES*S** 50+ named regulars – every inmate has a face, a grudge, and very specific opinions about ramen, from gentle giants to motormouth hustlers to the guy who counts the cameras out loud Three crews, one store – the yard's factions each need something only you can stock; pick your side in prison politics and live with what that costs you Hands-on, first-person shopkeeping – grab it, ring it, bag it, slide it under the glass; every sale (and every smuggle) happens in your own two hands Two economies, one building – deadpan institutional bureaucracy above the counter, a thriving, ridiculous criminal marketplace under it Developed and published by *corsgames*, the same studio behind the horror banger Waffle Cone Willie. 📅 RELEASE INFO* Joint Venture: Prison Commissary Simulator is set for release on 12 January 2027 for PC via Steam.
