positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game had interesting prospects, but since upgrading my VR from Oculus Rift to Valve Index, it has become unplayable. Index controllers are not supported, in-game hands float way out in front of the controllers. Issue has been known for almost 2 years. The devs said they'd fix it, and they did not. Support seems dead, devs are unresponsive.

unlabelledView post →Came out as a bit repetitive for me
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Saw the reviews.. Tried the demo.. Bought the game.. This is the type of VR games I have been looking for. Very family friendly, not scary, no one is going to be running after you, no shooting. It is alot the same with the crafting, but there is no limits to what to craft. I really really like this game. Hours goes by super quick.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hey #PitchYaGame! 👋 We know #SummerGameFest is poppin’ off, but mind giving our #VR game some love? Prison Boss: Prohibition is the sequel to Prison Boss VR: craft, hustle, and run your shady biz solo or in co-op. 🐔 Join the Alpha Weekend on #MetaQuest & #Steam!
unlabelledView post →I really like this game its just really fun to play but i wish there was a sandbox mode were you can get every item in the game for free and make anything
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →amazing game but the roomscale is a bit messed up
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it is a gret game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Prison Boss VR is a surprisingly addictive VR game that doesn’t need a lot of space or movement; just your hustle. You’re crafting and trading contraband from your cell, dodging guards, and building your little empire one roll of paper and pencil scratch at a time. The VR mechanics are smooth and simple, making it easy to get into the rhythm of crafting, selling, and upgrading. Every new level adds a bit more pressure with stricter guards and trickier requirements, but it never stops being…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot get enough of this game and I've somehow only played 17 hours???
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →We had a blast playing Prison Boss Prohibition this year, the game elevated everything that was fun on the original Prison Boss VR but now you can commit "crimes" together with your friends. Another masterpoutine developed by the @trebuchetvr.bsky.social crew!
unlabelledView post →Happy 8th anniversary, Prison Boss VR! 🎂 The game that made it all possible, and is still loved by many. From the cold cells to the banging streets of New Yolk City, one thing is certain: the business can't stop! #MetaQuest #VRGaming #Indiedev

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is a fun game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great, love the levels and all the items. This is the one of the best vr game plays
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crafting meets stealth. Craft contraband at night to sell during the day, but don't let the guards see. Really innovative use of room-scale vr, it emulates a prison cell with the dimensions of your playspace. Really interesting game, definitely worth a play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →basically I am the plug but in prison
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →you can sell illegal stuff, very relatable game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →We need a mixed option for reviews... Things that ruin an otherwise very fun experience are: -This is not meant for a standing play area, since there isn't locomotion feature -you Will knock over furniture and toss ur items everywhere causing u to get caught and lose the game -NO MENU BUTTON ON RIFT. you have to close the app -no option to swap grip and rotate buttons and all other buttons arent mapped to anything.. Other minor gripes aren't worth mentioning. And although I really do like…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very repetitive and I forget I even own this game. I only have a bit of time on it and I'm already bored of it. This game would only be worth it if it was $1-5
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like mobile games that are predictible where you just do the same things over again this game is for you. It boring and I was compleatlly over it after "rolling" my 20 cigaret; this game gets old fast.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Due to its age, it has few quirks but an absolutely fun game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its frustrating on index the thumb bad moves my locker and all my stuff scatters causing me to get caught having the qol telekinesis mechanic would be helpful! especially if youre restricted for room, you can gather items more quicky to counter the being busted... its total bs bc its a good game... but ♥♥♥♥ mechanics
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've seen a small amount of extremely negative people about this game. I'll say it right away: it wasn't worth €20 back when it came out, and after all the QoL it's still not worth that amount in my humble opinion. I got it for cheaper. However, it's a game you immediately grow affectionate to. It reminds me of those 2010's Simulator type of games, like Surgeon Simulator, with the controls meant to be initially hostile towards you, but in a super fun way. Crafting items by hand is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't get this game if you have the Meta Quest. The controls are quite weird and were made for other controllers I suspect. On the first task where you have to roll a cigarette, you have to "roll your thumb" over the touchpad somehow (what does that even mean?). I tried all buttons and moving my thumb around and eventually manage to roll a cigarette but I have no idea how and have never been able to do it again. The whole "thumb" thing is weird. You have grip buttons, trigger buttons, A,B,X,Y…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's fun for the first 30 minutes then it gets boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The grabbing is absolutely god awful. I get that it has to be somewhat of challenge, but is it really my fault that a piece of paper that I was trying to grab gets flung halfway across the room because my big ass, dinner plate sized hands decided to grab a cig that was under it while a guard is walking by in that precise moment?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really good game and worth the price. I wish there were more games like this like Merchent VR or something. The only bad thing id have to say is to watch your surroundings especially when you need to do samething vary quick (iv slamed some furnature playing this)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is incredible! It's full of charm, and has almost infinite replay value with amazing craft mechanics and enough things to craft to keep you occupied. Really hope they come out with DLC for this one! -Pros -Fun as all hell -Tons of items to craft -Easy to learn -Charming -Customization of cell -High replay value -Cons -Crafting Tutorials cause hands to glitch/bug the whole game or until I quit program -Can be too easy…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall opinion: Mixed. I'm on Rift. My Review: 1. There really is no excuse for not having named this game Prison Wallet. Huge missed opportunity. 2. Fun concept and addictive. I keep staying up past my bedtime without any idea how long I've been at it. 3. Gameplay movements are not intuitive. Big weakness of the game. 4. There is no way that I can find to exit a game that you're in without closing the app! That's super weird and annoying. Especially since the game seems to be designed to go…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is a great management game that is alot of fun but i cannot reccommend at the time as items that i order keep dissapearing and leaving me short, this means it takes me longer to get objectives done and leaves me frustrated. hopefully it is something that will be fixed but until then i just cannot enjoy the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of the best VR Games out there. Basically you are in a small cell and have to craft Items for sale and to complete missions. But you always have to hide your stuff from the guards, so that adds some urgency to the process. Think of it as a cross of Job Simulator with stealth and economy sim. It has four Campaign Prisons where your goal is to escape (through crafting missions) as quickly as possible. The Boss Mode is basically a Sandbox play where you unlock your crafting materials…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played on Acer MR Headset w/ a 1060 6GB Updated after the Prison Boss mode addition. Prison Boss VR: A hidden gem from a fantastic GAMES developer. Why would you want to purchase this game? Well if you enjoy time/resource management games with a decent amount of depth (for a VR game) then you might want this game. The pricing system of resources you need to purchase isn't static (though the changes are predicatable) and the progression system of the main campaign is well thought out and has…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →other games really need to copy this game's style of having one room. it works so well, with the huge bonus of no teleporting. + when you think it's done there's more. + good controls. + good use of locomotion (only natural movement, no teleport) + nice customizing of the room - tedious - repetitive stages to the game overall really great fun. feedback for dev (if they look at these): please have a way to mirror furniture, also another "phase" to the game would help break up the monotony.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a VR Gem this game is! Simple but super fun, you start rolling smokes and earn money from there and work your way out a prision. You physically make the smokes, cookies, cakes, love letters, statues ect ect with your hands and buying materials when the price is low. I tried the demo and it was an instant buy for me. 9/10 for me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Prison Boss VR is a cleverly absurd virtual reality simulation that transforms the smallest possible space—a prison cell—into a fully realized sandbox of production, trade, and risk. Developed by TREBUCHET and published by TREBUCHET alongside Creature Label, the game leans hard into physical interaction and spatial problem-solving, using VR’s strengths to make mundane actions feel playful, tense, and surprisingly strategic. Rather than chasing spectacle, it builds its appeal around tactile…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to say that the game is a fun game, I purely do not enjoy it or recommend it PURELY based on only the way the controls are. you cannot move around at all in game, and u have to move in real life to be able to grab certain items. I kept re-centering myself which made it so much worse every time, the controls feel hard to understand and just everything feels like it's working against me. Keep in mind that this could just be a me issue. If you can figure out the controls or can look past…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"If you're a fan of Prison Break, you’re going to love this game! It’s full of challenges, suspense, and clever escapes — just like the show."
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this game has been really fun so far. I have completed the 2 first prisons and started on the third of a total of 4. I really like how the cell size is just as big as my play area so that I can move around in my cell without worrying about hitting anything in my room. I havn't tried with a smaller space yet but my area is about 2x2 meters and it works really well. I'm really enjoying this game! It's very cool how you can decorate your cell with different kinds of furniture to make you…
