In this video from IGN, we delve into the intriguing world of Schedule One, a game that takes a unique approach to the management genre. Forget about building cities or theme parks; here, you're in charge of a drug empire. Yes, you heard that right. From growing marijuana to creating new drug concoctions, this game offers a different kind of challenge. But don't worry, it's not all about breaking bad. Surprisingly, the gameplay is more about building relationships with the locals and expanding your illicit business in a lighthearted manner.
As you progress in Schedule One, you'll find yourself automating production processes and optimizing your drug operations. It's a bit like playing a twisted version of SimCity, where instead of zoning residential areas, you're mixing drugs and dealing with suppliers. The game's lack of serious law enforcement pushback may raise some eyebrows, but it adds to the game's quirky charm. You won't find yourself in high-speed chases or intense shootouts; rather, you'll be skateboarding around town delivering your goods in a strangely peaceful setting.
Despite its early access status, Schedule One manages to deliver an engaging experience, blending dark humor with cozy management mechanics. The game's mix of drug-themed content and tranquil gameplay creates a surreal yet entertaining atmosphere. While it may lack in endgame content and polish, the sheer novelty of running a drug empire in a laid-back manner is enough to keep players hooked. So, if you're looking for a management game with a twist, Schedule One might just be the unconventional experience you've been craving.
