About this game

See how long you can survive in a sprawling facility, where hundreds of fellow prisoners are trying to get through each day in real-time. Develop relationships with an advanced dialogue system that allows you to start conversations before the drama comes to you. Should you choose violence, a combat system perfected by wrestling lets you express yourself with your fists! Hundreds of fully interactive props can be equipped in either hand as tools or weapons - including mind-blowing gunplay that allows you to shoot at ANY moment. Reinforced by a creative crafting system, you've only ever run out of ammo when you've run out of ideas.

Just when you think you've seen it all, a whole other police role challenges you to tackle crime from the other side of the fence - keeping existing prisoners in order while patrolling the streets for new ones! An extended outside world makes life worth living, with a wider range of vehicles and animals to explore it. All now presented with higher resolution 3D visuals, a smoother frame rate, and a wider variety of camera angles to enjoy cinematic moments.

Upon upgrading to the fully "unlocked" experience, an inbuilt editor empowers you to save your changes to each character to make the world your own. You can then blow off steam in a special "Fight Scene" mode - where you select WHO fights WHERE and with WHAT to see who survives! This action can also be enjoyed at a smoother 60fps frame rate on compatible devices, with no ads for paying customers.

I'm surprised to see that this version now has third-person gameplay. I've been playing this game since I was young, and I'm still enjoying it today. However, the focus system needs improvement — it's too complicated to use. It would be better if it worked more like the one in GTA San Andreas (mobile version), where you can easily choose which NPC to focus on. Also, the gun should have a proper sight to make aiming easier.

From being a prisoner handed down a short but hard sentence, to being a free man with the option of dishing out justice as a police officer; this game goes very indepth & a huge improvement from the previous game. Arguably unmatched by any prisoner game thanks to it's level of detail, attention to realism and dialogue system- Hard Time 3 is truly a great game and one of MDickie's finest in years. Even with some [yet non game-breaking] bugs, I can't recommend this enough. Well done, Matt Dickie.

The last update was so much better. seem like anything you do get a charge, even on lenient difficulty. Why you Give us the ability to control our mental breakdown, but not anymore with the new update, It's dangerous if you trying to play to actually get released from prison, when you can't control mental breakdown anything can happen from being put to sleep or catching another charge.
