Welcome to "Idle Medieval Prison Tycoon", where the clang of iron bars is music to your ears and the sight of stone walls warms your heart. This isn't just any idle tycoon game, it's a journey back to medieval times, where you'll become the master of your very own prison kingdom!

All while collecting gold for guarding your prisoners and making strategic upgrades to boost your earnings. But it's not all about the money.

Riots, escape attempts, even dragon attacks (because, you know, medieval times) - are you up for the challenge? "Idle Medieval Prison Tycoon" is more than just a game, it's a plunge into a time of knights and castles, where your strategic skills can build an empire.
