5/31/21 update: Prison additions -  shop, conjugal visit, prison inventory, prison calls, prison mail and prison jobs

We’re back, baby! Going to prison is looking more and more enticing with every update, making even murder darkly appealing. 

Suffer the plotting, killing, and court investigation no longer. Now you can cheat your way right to prison to test out our newest additions! Note, you’ll want to play as vampire kind in prison. 

Money & Prison  Jobs

Before we get started, let’s talk money. Your character’s money won’t travel with them into the prison world (yet), so you’ll have to get a prison job and click the Next Turn button to see any cash flow. You can monitor your money in your prison stat screen. You can also see how much money you have by selecting the shop menu. 

The jobs you can currently get are: 

Electrician

Janitor .3

Cook

Gardener 

A later update might include particular benefits to each job. 

Shop

This little mechanic acts as a spring board for any future ideas we (or you) might have. The most important thing, as well as the only currently functional thing, is the condoms. You still have to stay safe from spreading sexual diseases in prison, unless you are vampire kind. 

Because prison is mainly created for vampires right now, condoms will eventually prevent pregnancy if you happen to tango with anyone of the opposite sex while incarcerated, such as if you are approved for a conjugal visit. 

The items we have for you to buy from the shop are: 

Condoms (both male and female) 

Toilet paper

Towel

Shower shoes

Tampons and pads (only available at female prisons) 

Along with shopping comes a handy inventory system. After purchasing something from the shop, you can go to your prison stats and click My Items to view your purchases. 

Conjugal Visits 

So, you’ve got a bae back home and you want to spend some quality time together. Search no further! 

Being part of a prison gang and/or having Counsel support will help your chances of being allowed to have a conjugal visit because...you know. The scare factor. 

In a future update, you can have the chance of pregnancy during one of these visits. 

Prison Calls

This is an easy way to keep good relationships with your loved ones and coworkers back home. 

There are many randomized talking points for the people you talk to. For example, the topic will be different when talking to your lover as opposed to a coworker. You can also talk to your parents, your spouse, and your friends. 

These randomized talking points add a bit of immersion and give your character a relationship boost with whoever they are talking to. 

There are even talking points if you have a baby, if you have a vampire child of a certain age group, if you have a human child of a certain age group, if you have human or vampire parents, human or vampire friends, etc. Everything is tailored to who you are on the phone with. 

The outcomes are short, but you should end up with at least several different outcomes every time you call the same person. 

Prison Mail 

Just like letters you send in real life, sometimes you will hear back from the person and sometimes you won’t. You can send a letter to anyone back home except children under two. 

The main purpose of this mechanism is for simple relationship boosting. If you receive a letter back, your relationship with them increases. If you don’t receive a letter, your relationship stays the same.

Update 4/28/20. You now have the option to have a small stealthy familiar, as well as big familiars! 

The new small stealthy familiar is a tiny mouse. The big familiars are a wolf for stealth, a Great Dane for aggression, and a black jaguar for wisdom. 

So what’s the purpose of familiars?

 In the show The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, witches can have familiars as protectors. They are said to be goblins who use the form of animals. Controversially, in What We Do in The Shadows (thanks, Guillermo, for the GIF) humans are familiars who act as servants to vampires in order to hopefully one day become a vampire themselves. 

In our game familiars are spirit beings (or maybe goblins) who take the form of an animal or present themselves as a animal, similar to The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Familiars will be able to help protect you from danger and be an eternal companion to your endless night. Their specific giftings such as wisdom, stealth, or aggression, will come in handy down the road. 

If you find yourself desiring a human familiar, we’ve got you covered. The idea is already in the works, but as we alluded to in our game description for future updates, they are called Pets. More on that another time. 

If you choose to play as a vampire kind (pure-blooded, turned, or Halfling), you will be able to gain a familiar by clicking on the Vampire Menu > Find a Familiar and choosing which type of familiar you want. Note that cute and cuddly familiars intentionally do not have an aggressive familiar option. 

Once you’ve found your forever friend, go to Show Stats > My Familiar to view your companion. 

Who’s your favorite familiar?
