## Hard Time Description
Create your own inmate and attempt to survive in a prison where every sentence is a &quot;death&quot; sentence! Rub shoulders with up to 100 fellow inmates in a sprawling facility of 12 unique areas, each filled with fully interactive furniture and props. Plus a life beyond the gates populated by real civilians, with wardens enforcing dozens of different laws to keep you as far away from it as possible.

Each day, you will find your health and mental state slipping away. Both can be restored by sleeping - which is also a good way to pass time. You won&#039;t always be permitted to sleep, though, so consuming food and drink bridges the gap. These, along with many other activities such as reading or watching TV, can also help to improve your mental state. If you &quot;lose your mind&quot; you will temporarily lose control of your character - and will almost certainly get into trouble!

Your character also has a set of attributes that you are challenged to improve:
- STRENGTH indicates how much damage you can inflict or absorb. You can improve it by fighting or lifting weights.
- AGILITY determines how fast you move. You can improve it by jogging in the yard or scoring baskets.
- INTELLECT reflects your knowledge - including fighting skills such as counters. You can improve it by reading books.
- REPUTATION is how much other prisoners respect you. It can be improved by accomplishing tasks or intimidating others.

There are also opportunities to earn money - whether you work for it with a broom, trade items at a profit, or run with a gang. Having money increases your opportunities to grease the wheels and make your life inside easier.

You may find that you need to go to the toilet from time to time, in which case you must race to the bathroom! Alternatively, you could find a toilet to sit on or grab some toilet paper to spare your blushes. Failing to do so will damage your reputation and mental state.

I regret that there is more to this game than I could ever explain here, so I hope you enjoy figuring some things out for yourself!

Upgrade to &quot;VIP&quot; to enjoy the full experience without ads - plus access to the editor that allows you to customize your character and every other.

BASIC CONTROLS:
(*Look out for tutorials within the actual game)
A = Attack (on its own to kick, with a direction to punch)
G = Grapple / Throw weapon
R = Run
P = Pick-Up / Drop
T = Taunt (interact with handheld props)

OTHER CONTROLS
- Press ATTACK and RUN together to launch a powerful attack.
- Press any button with any direction (or none) in a grapple to trigger different moves.
- Press RUN and PICK-UP together to set fire to a small object (which can then be used to set fire to a large object).
- Touch the clock to pause the game and bring up options to exit.
- Touch any speech bubble to speed through conversations.

PERFORMANCE
- If you find your device struggles to display lots of characters, considering keeping the &quot;Population&quot; option low.
- &quot;Speed Up Frame Rate&quot; sleeping will require good performance at the default frame rate.
- Head to the &quot;Display&quot; options to tone down other features.

## Hard Time Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***** "Hard time"
Goat game love this game
-- jvbendy, 2025-09-01

### ****- "Good game"
I like this game worth playing very funny snd goofy
-- Slothboi 123, 2025-05-03

### ****- "The beginning…"
Ok, so…I haven’t played this game in years and recently started playing again. I don’t know how many people are like this but I like to play as a specific person, however, when I go into the game to choose my character, they always give me ones I don’t like, never giving me the one I want. It always pisses me off since I’m sat here pretty much all day just to not get the character I want. And on top of that, the red back button in the top left plays up. So, when you have a character on your screen and you don’t want it so you want to go back, you’ll press that red back buttons, but instead of sending you back a step, it starts you on the game, regardless of there being a start button on the other side of the screen. I don’t know if that’s a problem for anyone else but it’s a problem for me and if anyone who can sort this out reads this, I’d appreciate it if you can help me
-- KatieBartus, 2024-09-21

### **--- "The funniest game on earth"
I’m just going to get straight to the point and say if you want a good laugh and escape from reality, then this is the game. Not only can you escape jail, you can also fight other inmates WWE style, can steal, play basketball and also play the guitar 😭😂

I do like this game and have played it for the past 7 years but taking away the character customisation is so annoying and everyone wants it back.

The game is fine until the bloody mental breakdowns kick in, once I  escaped using the fence clime in the garden but then I had a godamn mental breakdown because my broom wa taken away then i ended up in court for &quot;assaulting a warden&quot; REMOVE THIS FEATURE, NOW!

-- YanWS89, 2023-04-16

### ***** "It’s amazing"
I’ve played this game for 7 years and it’s very good.it’s a fun game to play when you’re bored. The only thing is that you used to be able to customise your character name,height,appearance and gender which you have to pay for now
-- free erhggy, 2023-03-18

### ***** "AMAZING"

-- Nokesie21, 2023-01-02

### ***** "Hello"

-- mr sexy Noodle, 2022-12-17

### *---- "Ridiculous"
I liked it at first but after when your health is low you can’t control yourself not only that but apparently you have to get ads when you sleep
-- The wild Dawg, 2022-11-19

### ***** "Amazing"
So much fun
-- kingJJ00799, 2022-09-30

### ***** "I love this but…"
YOU need to make a boxing one just like the mma one you have and wrestling please and thank you
-- hsndjdjxhd, 2022-08-20

### ***-- "Good - however"
It’s a fun game! You can do many things and there are lots of funny things that happen to you etc, however it was much better when you could customise your character (for free) and change their name, moves, outfits, characteristics etc without having to buy the premium! With the adverts you already have to watch if you are using the free version surely we should be able to have some sort of freedom! Thanks
