The Prison Boys [ Mystery novel and Escape Game ]

I love this game. It's a somewhat challenging puzzle game with an interesting storyline with likeable characters. It is somewhat short. It take a couple days to finish but there is a lack of main events but I didn't really mind. I'm stuck on getting chapter 5. I feel bad for Yamoto

What a great game. Other than some translation errors, the story is simple to follow, the characters are believable, and the context is realistic. One word of advice: try everything. You never know what you may encounter...

I really recommend this game for you guys to download. Tbh, this is not my kind of game. At first I downloaded this game because I like the graphics. That's all. But I never thought that I would love this game and all the characters so much. It has really good story and a pretty hard puzzles to solve. I really love all the characters, especially Mitsuru and Yamato

I downright love the amount of care put into this game. I like how the title screen changes as the story progresses. The storyline is great and the puzzles aren't too ridiculous. I found myself cheering and gasping with Tetsu and Nagi. Mitsuru cracks me up with his antics all the time. A few translation errors here and there but nothing too serious.

I installed this game almost a month ago and it's amazing!! The puzzles arent too easy or too hard so it's a lot of fun and the story keeps getting more interesting. I emailed them about it and got a quick response the day after; even if it was in Japanese, posting it in a translator was no problem and everything got taken care of thanks! (( Make sure you're connected to wifi to get your daily tickets! ))

Although I just started the game, I already love it. It's fun and exciting and the puzzles are great too. But when I was opening the app to start the 3rd stage of the chapter 2 the screen was stuck on the loading page. I waited for ages but the loading bar stayed empty. There wasn't a problem with the internet connection and I was afraid I would have to uninstall and reinstall the app and start over. But I haven't yet. I hope there's a way to fix this!

Loved the plot and the plot twists! The relation to the history is highly appreciated. I literally cried when I reached the true ending. I hope I can unlock and play the secret stages, and I would be glad if it had an Anime adaptation. I will totally watch it!

YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS GAME. IT IS PURE AWESOME SAUCE. I just love the puzzles, plot twists (especially the Mitsuru one) and character art! The only thing I would say is the story ticket thing. So many games have this, but I don't really like that I'm stuck on a huge cliffhanger and have to wait till 5 in the morning to continue. Other than that, YOU MUST PLAY THIS GAME.

I love this game so much, the plot is amazing, and the ending leaves me almost sobbing. Waiting for another game like this one! Maybe I'm going to try Infinite Prison as well.

It's an interesting game with well graphic!! It also can control us to not play too much by only give 5 tickets for a day, so players will not waste time too much for gaming.

My only issue is some of the puzzle bits (such as a lock in b7) are in kanji and can be hard to solve Other than that the story and characters are well written and I love playing

interesting story which keeps you playing. waiting for the tickets can be a little difficult at times though, haha. I appreciate the multiple endings!

I love it. For the character, story and gameplay is so nice. And also the puzzle is quite challenging~

Beautifully written and a must play for those who have a thirst for puzzles with a story. Looking forward to more games like this to come!

My favorite game! The story is excellent.

THE BEST!!

Absolutely brilliant.

It's got a good mix of puzzles and story. I was really wrapped up in the mystery, and when it all unfolded, I had a great time. Only a couple parts stumped me (hint: the stamp is very important for a good end, but you'll need some time to figure it out), but otherwise, it wasn't too hard. Still, a hint system could help those who are completely stuck, but if you're already good at point-and-clicks, you'll be fine. I'm glad it doesn't punish you for replaying levels to get other endings or finding cards. It doesn't last very long, but it's fun while it lasts!

*slow clap* This left me speechless. I never thought I'd like this much. This is so amazing! SEEC is even nice for giving out extra free tickets on your first 10 days. I really recommend this! The real ending gave me goosebumps too! It is rare for me to see such plot-detailed mobile vis nov. Will always love this!

I installed just to try if I would like it or not, surprisingly I liked it a lot. I liked solving the puzzle; not easy, yet not hard. Would be nice if there is some hint if player get stuck though haha. The part that I find it quite lacking is about data saving. It would be nice if we able to connect to some account (like maybe Google Play account) to save our progress and purchases. I saw that player can get refund, but would be nice if my purchased item still safe when I accidentaly uninstal the game. It would be great if you could consider it. Overall I liked everything about this game. Do try to download if you like mystery-themed VN!

i love this game so much. the story, characters and even music are great. even though it took me near a month to clear the game, i was on tenterhooks the entire time. theres some odd phrasing here and there bc of the translation, but its still easy to understand what's supposed to be said. my only problem is that the parts with the puzzles are really hard. it's probably fine for some people, but itll be great to have a clue button somewhere for those who arent as good at busting locks

I was really looking forward to this game when I installed it but my screen is filled with only the lower portion of the item menu. The background that I'm supposed to search is only half visible. Every character is cut off from their eyes up. If there is a resolution to this, I will be very happy to try again. Please address this issue!

First off, let me tell you that the artwork is great, fantastic, beautiful. I finished the story (to the "happy" end), and the journey was fulfilling. Everything is solvable although sometimes you might think it's not. I'm planning on going through the other endings I haven't stumbled upon yet. It was a great mix between a visual novel and a detective game. Although the translations at times were a bit iffy, the dialogue flowed well. Overall, great game. Also, I don't plan on deleting this game because apparently the data is erases once you delete it. If we could save data, that would be awesome. Thanks!

I love this game so much, it is one of my best games. The thing is, it is like you're reading a mystery novel and feels like you're in it except that you have a choice and a glimpse of what would happen if you chose a wrong answer. The characters are cool and the plot in very interesting where it makes you feels the urge to know what would happen in the next chapter. Thank you SEEC for having this game.

This game is well made, everything is on point, the artwork is amazing, the music is so good, the plot and the different caracters, it should be made as anime. What i mostly like about this game is that it is realistic, happy endings only exist in movies, like naoya and his lover, they are both so pure yet they got a sad ending, and that's what happens in real life, or like the girl who works to get medicine for her mother while she should be playing, i really got attached to these caracters and how they face life with hope and a smile. Overall this game is my favourite of its type, the puzzles are really good and not so easy, and it never crashed or anything. And i will be really sad when this game ends

i really really love this game! however i recently just got blocked by a certain point in a game because too many elements were loading so it kept crashing- which is such a shame because i am unable to move forward now. That block im in right now is the last scene of chapter 4 that leads to the fork of endings- which is the start of chapter 5 and the continuation leading to dead ends... i really love this game but i am unable to progress no matter what i try... please fix this!;;

Other than spelling mistakes for some things like e.g. cultivation room was spelled ciltivation room and Mitsuru's name wasn't removed from the true ending when talking about deaths. I think this game is super awesome. Good pace. Nice story. Great job. I have not play a phone game that can rival Layton and Phoenix Wright. Well done. Make more!

I really like this game, but heads up: if you're expecting a good ending, you won't really find one. At least, I didn't. No spoilers from me, but a lot of the bad endings are depressing and dark, especially as you near the ending of the game (and to be perfectly honest, I don't think the true ending is all that happy either). I would suggest you take note of everything: if it's clickable, it's a hint. As a side note, this game is heavily underrated. I wish it has more popularity...it's a game that keeps you on your toes and at the edge of your seat, especially if you're not a pay to play player. It gives you a little bit of insight of Japan's history and how they operated, their ideologies and struggles. I enjoyed it a lot and will probably play it again in the near future.

I just confused everytime i got bad end, he always kill tetsu or nagi... didn't even explain why he kill them, atlast make bonus chapter of reason why he kill them everytime they make mistake. ah i almost forgot about tetsu sword i thought he would fighting someone with his sword but kinda disappoint he didn't. and as prologue please give some bonus end where that tetsu married someone that he really loved.... this is my suggestion anyway not bad

Escape and detective solving game has always been my favourite kind of game. But it's my first time to play a novel driven mix with puzzle solving. The plot was really good, I really like how they do with the after end, leaving you bitter sweet. I learn about the background of what has happened between ww1 & ww 2 and how the society works during that period. My favourite character must be Mitsuru. Too me its a really awesome made game. The BGMs and the graphics as well. Games made by SEEC are one of the game company I would like to follow and looking forward to play with. Overall I enjoyed playing the game and it has been an adventure to play with. Still can't get over it when you have been delving into it for two weeks.

FIX THE TIX!! ((After reinstall) Well, I tried reinstalling the game on my phone but tickets still do not refill. This is disappointing. I was enjoying this game. Now all I can do is uninstall it. I know many others are having this problem as well. You know you have an ongoing issue here. FIX IT PLEASE!) (Before) It is a great game. I love the entire thing. My only problem is my tickets do not refill like they are supposed to. I will try reloading the game and see if that helps. Please create a fix for this issue! Other than that, beautiful and well made!

Kyaaaa! REALLY RECOMENDED YOU GUYS TO PLAY THIS GAMEEEE!Just why the game are really awesome!!! Of course i liked Tetsu and Naoya the most

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PUZZLE GAMES I'VE HADD AAAAA I CANT BELIEVE I'VE ENDED IT. IF IT HAVE A SEQUEL I'LL HAVE IT RIGHT AWAY. PROTECT YAMATO AT ALL COST!!11!!! -ahem- So yeah, all of them are 11/10 and you need to be very thorough and sharp to the hints which were given. Missed something so little and it will lead you to bad end. I personally ever got stuck for a few stages and it drives me crazy if I can't solve it haha. In other hand, it was a fun game. A very very good one. Good job you guys! ^^

I had a good impression of the game. The puzzles were fairly simple to understand, though some translation issues did hinder me just a tiny bit. Some of the bad ends, especially for the earlier parts, seemed a little odd to me. Other than that, it's a fairly good story and game.

Managed to finish, but couldn't find the 2nd card for general Kongou. The hint doesn't help at all. What the hell you mean by Chapter 4: Searching - ??? Can't you be a little more helpful...?

The graphic is great. I love the style so much and it's easy (and free) to reload the subs-chapter to proceed with different route. I kinda have a trouble about combining the item at first but it's no big deal after I get used to it. Definitely a great game!

Just download this last night. I was immediately in love with the game. BUT tickets aren't refilling! The game explicitly states tickets refill every day at 5 am jst. But they aren't. Very disappointed. Uninstalled until problem is fixed.

The game was incredibly fun to play at first. However, right now there seems to be a bug. None of my tickets are refilling and it's already been at least a week so I cannot continue gameplay.

I don't know how to solve the 7th basement of the prison level for the last case in Chapter 5! I can't find a way to open the disc with the Japanese words. Am I supposed to know the meaning of the words in order to open it? I know the words on the wall with a few red ones are related, but I can't figure it out!
