Scan
X-ray an inmate to check for a hidden item.
Inspect
Read the revealed item against any guidance shown in your session.
Decide
Choose the checkpoint response supported by what you found.
Upgrade
The listing says earned cash can upgrade security gear.
Escalate
Expect more danger as more prisoners are processed.
Defend
Stop escape attempts, powerful inmates, and the final prison boss.
The calm phase
Prisoner processing begins with scanning inmates, searching them as they return to their cells, and identifying contraband. Use the first-shift routine to make this sequence repeatable.
The pressure phase
Processing more prisoners makes the prison more dangerous. That statement is official; exact hidden thresholds are not public. Treat rising pressure as a signal to finish current decisions cleanly and prepare for a defense event.
The defense phase
Powerful inmates can lead large escape attempts. The developer also lists a final prison boss. Public sources do not explain boss stats, waves, or exact triggers, so this guide does not claim a specific spawn timer or combat formula.
Why upgrades matter
The official description links earned cash to security gear and places those upgrades beside escalating danger. It does not publish exact item effects, so use the upgrade decision route instead of relying on a guessed tier list.
