A brand new studio called Wooden Alien from Krakow, Poland, has just announced its first game, Space Prison. It’s gonna be a tactical, turn-based survival game with cell-building elements and a social ladder system, and it’ll be available on PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X | S. The release date hasn’t been announced yet.

Wooden Alien’s CEO, Hubert Kubit, said, “Space Prison combines survival with tactics and social dynamics. We wanted to create a game that would immerse players in a detailed sci-fi adventure universe and offer them a truly unique gameplay experience. With Space Prison, we believe we are well on our way to achieving that goal and are thrilled to be bringing it to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players.”

So, what’s the game all about? According to the Steam page, it’s a survival game where you need to stay alive by crafting contraband, upgrading your prison cell, fighting alien creatures in turn-based brawls, and climbing to the top of the gangster ladder in this social survival.

The story is set in the darkest hole in the universe, a place called Space Prison, where they gather both guilty and innocent aliens under the jurisdiction of the artificial system. To stay alive, you’ll need to find allies among the criminals and fight for respect in brutal turn-based brawls. The ultimate goal is to domesticate this hole while struggling to survive, and find out the dark secrets that this place hides. Who knows, maybe you’ll be able to find your way out of here, one way or another. Don’t let the system break you, and get ready for an immersive sci-fi adventure with Space Prison!

Key Features

• Social Survival – Earn the trust and respect of the criminals to make them your allies. Build useful connections by helping prisoners with various jobs and learn personal stories hidden underneath those crooked faces. Just don’t step on the wrong alien’s toes. It may be the last thing you ever do.
• Tactical Turn-Based Brawls – Fight other convicts, alien creatures and the prison system in fast-paced, tactical turn-based brawls. Use your brain and allies, and move those feet quickly if you don’t want your motionless body to float through space.
• Prison Cell Base – Get cozy in your own prison cell, collect junky scraps and improve your super-fancy furnishings: rocky crafting bench, hidden storage behind posters or even a house for your pet rats. There’s no better place than home, right?
• Crafting Contraband – Look for scraps, destroy prison property, hunt alien vermin—all to get resources for crafting illegal tools and weapons that you or your inmates need. Be careful not to get caught and you’ll do just fine, fish.
• Become a Gang Boss – Join one of the prison gangs, like Gravity Fist or Hypernova, with different alien creatures, agendas and fighting styles. Use their backs to climb to the top of a social ladder and become powerful enough to face the prison system itself.
• Rat Companions – There is no better friend than a rat. Gather snacks for these filthy creatures and soon enough you’ll have an army of long-toothed vermins ready to die for you. Just look into their cute red eyes!
