CELLBLOCK
VS Something Something
Both ask you to read a person and act on it, but the scale is opposite. CELLBLOCK gives you a whole wing of competing requests, a five-tier relationship system per inmate and a 60-shift climb to Warden. Something Something narrows all the way down to one customer, one hidden mood and three attempts to name it. Play CELLBLOCK for a long management campaign; play Something Something for a tight puzzle you can finish in a sitting.
