An absolute masterpiece. ❤️

It's been around 3 years since I played and it still has such a special place in my heart. The Prison Boys is a FANTASTIC game. Everything from the story, the music, to the characters, to the puzzles and gameplay, trust me you WILL get attached ESPECIALLY to the characters (oh my god I can go on and on about Naoya Mitsuru Nagi and Tetsu all day 😭🩵). Literally this game will make you cry from its storytelling, hands down the best game I have ever played in my life. an absolute recommend for everyone!

God the ending

This story is beautiful. The ending was so tragic and moving and I cried. The characters were wonderfully drawn and animated and the music really heightened the whole story. 10/10, would play again

never been so invested

ive only had the game for a few days, and at first i only downloaded it because of the art style and the ratings… shallow, i know :”)
anyways, when i started playing- oh my god
i had no clue itd be a mystery game since i never read the description, so chapter 1 left me winded. to be honest, i havent had the time just yet to go through much of the rest of the story, but ive been constantly thinking about it.
really, the only thing i wish theyd add is a gallery for the CGs shown through the story, even the… uh.. death scenes……
maybe there is one and i just havent found it yet? im not sure, but id really appriciate it!
anyways, if youre still considering getting this game, pLEASE TRY IT OUT!!! there are ads, but theyre SO much more tolerable in amount compared to other mobile games!
all in all, i love this game so far, and im so excited to see how the story progresses each time :DD

GREAT GAME

One of the most compelling visual novel games! I love the other works from this developer as well, the storyline is very well-written and all the characters are interesting.

Real Tearjerker

I have played every other title in the SEEC mystery series (not including Tsumugu Logic) but damn. This made me the most surprised and the saddest out of all of them. Those plot twists were VERY well done and didn’t come out left field. And probably the fact this is based on a real event made me so sad and feel for the characters. Not even Tasokare Hotel or Yotsume God was this smart or depressing (still very good games on their own, go check them out too!)
But every time my 5 tickets ran out, I would get so annoyed! Please extend the 10 day ticket campaign to an indefinite amount of time, like Tasokare Hotel.
Well done, devs!
