Schedule I

Schedule I puts the player in the shoes of a small-time merchant trying to build a criminal empire from scratch. The action takes place in the gloomy Highland Point, and it all starts with an empty wallet and a couple of necessary contacts. During the day the streets look calm, but as darkness falls the city shows its character and travel becomes more dangerous. Gradually, the entire chain comes under control: production, storage and sales. Different products require their own manufacturing methods, and new recipes are discovered through experience, which adds chemical savvy to the profit calculation. Premises for production are rented or purchased, and equipment has to be improved to handle the volume. Money is invested in real estate, equipment and personnel, and hired workers take on part of the routine. Competitors and the police are not asleep: the risk of a raid and showdowns with cartels grows along with the turnover, and caution becomes a separate skill. Warehouse stocks, routes and sales times require planning, otherwise the goods will be left behind or fall into the wrong hands. You can move around the city on foot, on roller skates or by car - it depends on whether the goods will have time to reach the point. Every successful deal brings both money and reputation, but failure can roll back the entire business. Updates expand the map and add new work patterns, and the community shares profit calculations. For those who love games about calculation and risk with dark humor, this path from bottom to top will seem addictive.
