Blackout for the new warden by dray
Hello sir, the local power plant overcharged ! I know it's your first week but you will have to use your three generators while we find the problem. ...and... the repair might need close to one hour... Sorry... In full use, you will not be able to use the generators for more then 30 minutes without running out of power. Try to take good use of the control room to maintain a balance and don't forget to use this radio if you need help from the guards to maintain order. Good luck! The mayor. Over.
Actually the game run a simulation of the prison behind and we didn't give that much info of what is going on, so having a good run ask you to be proactive, mainly on the cameras to found escaping prisoners.

// UPDATE //
I made an updated version, one of the toggle wasn't working and i took some time to add an help button with some infos on how the game work under the hood. I also slow down the game pace so you have time to make mistake and try things. If you don't want to play the updated version, i kept the original links above.

Nice job on the art! I didn't hear any music or sounds (windows build), I don't know if I had a bug or if it's normal. (Well, to be fair, if there is an energy crisis, it's better to avoid a waste of energy by playing music :p)
As a fan of Prison Architect, I really liked your take on the concept.
I won on my second try.^^ The first try, I missed the bit about using the radio so I meddled with the switches while the prisoners went for a walk at the park.
@ogma Thanks! The game seriously lack a better pacing to be playable, so i'm happy that you liked it in that state :). There is no sound, i forgot to opt out for the category, thanks reminding me.
It might be better If we could visualize and move the units on the map.
OK, this is way too much for me, why are you putting this wall of stuff right in my face? I have to pass on this one, there is no small tutorial, no systematic instructions, nothing to help me get how to play this game. It is just everything, full on. The Help is just a wall of text as well and I do not have the nerves right now to read all that. You could argue that I am lazy but the reality is that if your game hits me with too much stuff at once, I am naturally going to be overwhelmed.
Graphically the game was awesome. But if there was any sounds or music or audio of them fighting or escaping or anything else, it would be better. However, stills a solid and fantastic game.
