News Summary
Prison Boss Prohibition, the crafting and simulation game about growing your own black market empire from indie studio TREBUCHET, is out now on Quest and SteamVR! A new trailer has been released to celebrate the launch.
About the Game
Prison Boss Prohibition is a crafting and simulation VR game about growing your own black market empire. Run a chain of stalls crafting a huge catalogue of legal and not-quite-legal merchandise for the citizens of New Yolk City – roll cigarettes, brew booze, tailor suits, write stirring manifestos, and much much more! Stay out of sight of patrolling cops or risk losing all your precious contraband. Rope in a friend or pick up a stranger from the streets (of the internet) to become your partner in crime!
Accept special jobs to boost your reputation among different factions in the city. Build up street cred and expand your catalogue of contraband. Spend money on upgrades and equipment, and improve your appearance, until you're the richest, meanest, coolest cock-a-doodle-dude in town!
The soundtrack is brought to life by Side Mtl (previously Vibe Avenue).
From Ray Charles to Herbie Hancock, from Motown to disco, the music of PBP is a journey through some of the most iconic sounds through the ages. For a sneaky chicken, trying to make ends meet in New-Yolk City, jazz fusion felt like the perfect avenue to explore. As you play through the game, our bespoke dynamic groove system sees the song's tempo pick up pace to match the increased difficulty, creating a more immersive experience for players. But it's not just clever tech; the songs are rich with the performances of Montreal's top jazz performers, Remi Cormier, Emile Farley, and Alex Francoeur, bringing the songwriting from Félix Le Blanc to life. Creative Director Francois Xavier Depas lends his hand to the rare appearance of harmonicas in jazz. He is also credited with the architecture behind the interactive music system, which sees the music respond to the game and the player. Prison Boss Prohibition offers an authentic live band experience as one determined chicken tries to make ends meet on the streets of New Yolk City.
