Just wanted to update my thoughts on this game. After seeing how the developers handle feedback and their overall "old school" approach to building this project, I’m convinced. It’s rare to find a team this dedicated to their vision while staying in touch with the player base. With this kind of developer mindset, I truly believe this game is going to shine in the future. Special shoutout to the Soundtrack: The music is incredible—pure club tracks. Even if something in the game gets a bit frustrating, you can always just head back to your club and chill to the beats. It adds such a deep layer of atmosphere to the "Boss" life. Wishing the team nothing but luck in reaching the game's full potential. Keep it up!

I did not expect this game to be this good and so in depth, i bought this when i was bored after work cause i has nothing to do and didn't think the next day i'd be waiting to go home just to play this, the gameplay it self could be better sure, the combat is fine but deffo could be better but in general this game is a craaazy hidden gem and i want the team to make as much content for it as possible i mean the possibilities are endless, this is technically a night club mafia boss sim but it can be everything in one i mean you can add traphouses that you can own hire people for them to sell drugs you can add mansions that you can eventually buy where you can park your cars store your money which could be stolen and all that, not saying it has to be added but just pointing out that there is many possibilities and this game could be even more great then it is already.

I was skeptical because I’ve been scammed by indi developers using these character models. Bought the game and they abandoned it immediately. Bought this at 9pm to test it out, didn’t get off till 530am. Just pray this guys doesn’t abandon us. Such a great game so far.

Bought the game yesterday and gave it a shot. Nightclub system is great, allowing you to sit in the club and micromanage for better efficiency. Crime system and the open world city has a good foundation allowing you to hire and upgrade mobsters separate to your employees at the club and go and take over businesses to get tribute. Although it is early days, from what I can see the developers are very active with the community both on discord/steam and I hope they continue like this throughout the development. Some suggestions: -Expanding taking over businesses- Like the Godfather 1 and 2 games, after killing the mobsters guarding a business, you enter the store and have to extort the business owner by breaking property and/or physically harming the owner. The more damage done the more payout you receive from the property, but have a break point(which you cant see until you hit it, unless you have a certain level mobster/boss with a certain perk maybe that can see it?) in which the owner refuses your demands completely and you either have to leave/kill him and come back and try again after several days. Once takeover has completed, make it so you can upgrade the business by specific things to the business, such as a mechanic shop having adding a second hoist, increasing payout -Give your mobsters ability to do more actions and expand on leveling your boss- Give mobsters the ability to take out vehicles and drive them and take over businesses without the boss present. With this, you could keep the boss in the club and he could provide a passive bonus to staff motivation+ club earnings whilst inside. When the boss is outside eg. at a business takeover with his mobsters he grants a passive bonus melee/range damage + extortion bonus. Both of these passive bonus could be upgraded further. Expand and develop the drug trade- -Like the game Scarface , The World is yours, have it so you can start off by buying small quantities of drugs from an importer at the docks and be able to sell the drugs not only to VIP's/hot dog stands but to individuals on the streets. Adopt a similar mini game negotiation like in Scarface in which you negotiate the selling price of the drug with the individual, and can either get a higher/normal rate or the individual completely refuses to buy and may start shooting. To develop further you can take over a dock warehouse, which you can then travel by boat to another island and negotiate with other drug traffickers for higher quantities/qualities of drugs which you have to bring back by boat yourself, avoiding coast guard. Add a fully player controlled boss- I believe this was already suggested and developers are looking at adding this, but give players the ability to take full control of the boss and walk and go into combat, similar to The Precinct. Add more clubs to manage- I believe this is already planned from the developer but, add the ability to own more than one club Would I recommend the game at this stage? If your a fan of Mafia/Godfather/Scarface games and love big ambitions, yes absolutely. I wish the developers the best of luck and I am looking forward to future updates!

A thumbs up for now but it's on the verge, where you need a meh button. My gut is saying the game will be abandoned and I hope it won't because the concept is good. Yes it's very EA, in the short time I have played it I had a bug where some customers never ordered anything and just stayed in booths so I ended up having to kick them out. Sometimes staff forget their jobs. But so far nothing game breaking. There's a bunch of basic QOL aspects missing like key mapping, controls/key remapping, a save function and a way to revisit tutorial stuff. Hopefully it will continue to be developed and become great but as I say my gut is that it will be updated a few times and then left.
