Installed game. "I'll try it for 20 minutes." 2 hours later: 📈 Empire growing 📈 Profits growing 📈 Paranoia growing 📉 Sleep schedule I have no idea what happened. One minute I was learning the controls, the next I was acting like a discount crime boss with a business degree from YouTube. The game is already packed with content, the management systems are addictive, and every time you achieve something your brain immediately goes: "Cool. Now make it bigger." Then bigger. Then bigger. Then suddenly you're planning expansion strategies while making a cup of tea. The scariest part is how much potential this game still has. If the devs keep updating it, I'm going to need to explain to my family why I've disappeared for six months. 10/10. Would accidentally become a criminal mastermind again. 💀🤝💰🚓

The game is fun. Management, Production, Tycoon elements, RPG progression, open sandbox. I am a fan of schedule one, and this is kind of the game I wish it was. it feels like you have agency over yourself in semi real world. FYI: I edited money in a couple play throughs to test systems and gear. The game can be played in a number of very different ways. My first play I did the club owner, and just managing the club is a game in itself, I spent the most time here. Progression feels slow and deliberate until things start rolling, at which point the crime game begins to open up. Started taking over rival businesses, upgrading weapons, killing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in drive-bys etc. I also did a drug production run, felt a lot like schedule one. Street dealing is fun. All the minigames are dopamine sinks, but not particularly innovative; that's fine. Least amount of play was as a thief. Pick pocketing does not seem worth while and car theft is a pain trying to find available cars. It does not function at ultra wide resolution, but the devs are aware. In fact, the devs are very responsive and pretty cool. Suggestions to Devs: I would like to see more customization variety in pretty much everything. Adjusting the camera while driving would be nice. A vehicle with high occupancy and trunk. A minigame that would be absolute crack to me would be document checking, but more in depth than the club job. I would like something akin to "not tonight" or "papers, please". Changing restrictions on IDs would keep things fresh. Allow the game to be played at your club by you, or give stats to security to auto check. Sell drugs at the door. Turn in criminals to the police for favor with police and disfavor with rival families. PLEASE DO THIS IT IS ALREADY A POPULAR NICHE GENRE

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.

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.
