    Prison Princess, just like any meaningful hookup, is a quick and good time. It probably won't be something you'll remember for years to come. But for a few hours, it'll be a lot of fun.

    Prison Princess provides hours of enjoyment and two of the cutest princesses you could be trapped somewhere with. I didn’t know what I was expecting when I began my adventure, but I came out of it with a more than pleasant experience.

    Prison Princess is an enjoyable puzzle adventure that combines invigorating brain-teasers with appealing characters, beautiful artwork and an intriguing narrative. While it’s pretty short – we cleared the game for the first time in four hours without having to resort to a walkthrough at any point – its multiple endings and unlockable features provide some replay value, and it’s worth bearing in mind that even classic adventure games from the genre’s “golden age” were only a couple of hours long at most. Here’s hoping we see more games of this type from Qureate in the future; they’ve clearly got a talent for them.

    The only real missteps made by the developer Qureate are represented, in this case, by a practically absent narrative sector and by the tedious backtracking sessions to which the title subjects the user between one puzzle and another.

    The premise is original, the dialogues are fun and the story has different outcomes depending of how much of a pervert you are.

    Maybe the game lacks a bit more of lewd elements and rooms to explore.    … Expand

    This game is light on story but heavy on solid puzzle-solving goodness, with a fair amount of ecchi imagery thrown in. You play as aThis game is light on story but heavy on solid puzzle-solving goodness, with a fair amount of ecchi imagery thrown in. You play as a disembodied spirit guiding the two princesses as they attempt to escape from a puzzle-filled castle. The puzzles come in two varieties: timed and not timed. The regular, not timed puzzles rely on clues scattered around the environment. For the most part these are pretty good, although one or two are annoyingly cryptic. The timed puzzles are more like tests of logic, meant to be solved from simple clues found on the puzzle itself. These also have one (or both!) of the princesses in provocative positions in the background, meant to distract you from the task at hand. Keeping focused rewards you with an increase in affection from the girls, which affects the ending you'll receive. Most of these puzzles are a tad on the easy side but still satisfying to solve.
    The game features some nice artwork and solid voice acting as well. Unfortunately the setting is a bit on the small side, with the game taking place in just a handful of rooms that you revisit constantly. It also doesn't provide any feedback for when you try to use items in the wrong areas, which can be annoying. Still, I had a lot of fun with it and was sad to see the credits roll. Hopefully we get more games like this.    … Expand
