Schedule I

Schedule I is a criminal-business simulator from TVGS, who also publish it. You roll into the grungy west-coast city of Hyland Point with no cash, no product and no connections, and have to build a drug empire from scratch, rising from a small-time dealer to a kingpin. The game is in Early Access, so it is still evolving.

You make the substances yourself, and each has its own production process. You discover special recipes that create new variants with unique properties. You deliver product to customers on foot, by skateboard or by car, hire dealers, expand your properties and staff, and later set up a fully automated production and distribution chain. The danger comes from law enforcement and cartel rivals, and you can fight back with fists, melee weapons or firearms.

According to HowLongToBeat, the main run takes about 18 hours and a full run about 48. In a month at roughly 60 hours you can finish it entirely, with room to spare. You can play alone, and the game also offers online co-op, so both a single-player mode and shared play with friends are there. Because it is in Early Access, the amount of content may change over time.
