Hilarious crafting and trading game Prison Boss VR is Canada-based Trebuchet Studio's pride and joy. It's been a hit so far, with praise pouring out from all corners of the VR community, and now - as of yesterday - it's available on the Oculus Store.
Both Steam and PlayStation VR users have already had access to Prison Boss VR since 2017 and 2018, respectively. But Trebuchet has now also launched the game (fitting, given its name) for both the Oculus Quest and its freshly-released sibling, the Oculus Quest 2.
Prison Boss VR is all about the absurd and hilarious. The goal is, as you might have guessed, to become the Prison Boss. You'll do this by earning cash from selling the myriad things you're able to craft from the comfort of your own prison cell, which can be scaled to the size of your IRL VR space.
There are two main branches of gameplay - crafting and trading. The former takes place at night, when you can use 6 base resources to craft 11 different items including cigarettes, cakes, alcohol, metal, and rope.
The trading side of the story comes in every morning when a guy stops past your jail cell in search of goodies to buy off of you. You can sell him your crafted items as well as buy other items from him. There are also jobs you can complete (of which there are 80 in total) using your various crafted items, which will earn you some reputation and rewards.
“Prison Boss VR lets you escape the strain of everyday life by using a top of the line technology which puts screens 2 inches from your eyes to be in a jail simulator. You'll also get to bake cookies,” says Vincent Brunet-Dupont, CEO of Trebuchet. Can't say no to that!
The game is now available on the Oculus marketplace, Steam, and the PlayStation Store for $19,99.
