It's an athmospheric little management game about the competetive world of the illicit medication complex with a focus on means of production and personnel management. Soundtrack, artstyle, gameplay and technical stability are all to my liking. I've returned to this little gem often over the years and the only critique is, that it leaves you wanting for more... which is good, except there isn't more to come.
