Schedule 1 is an open-ended strategy and action game set in the fictional city of Hyland Point, where players take on the role of an ambitious drug dealer starting from nothing. The game challenges players to build an illicit empire from the ground up, navigating a world filled with rival cartels, corrupt law enforcement, and volatile street dynamics. With a strong focus on economic management, territory control, and moment-to-moment survival, it offers a dark but engaging look at a highly competitive underground economy.
Expansion Through Risk and Control
At the heart of Schedule 1 is the balance between production, distribution, and staying ahead of threats. Players begin with small transactions and work their way up to automated supply chains, hiring staff, securing safe houses, and running high-volume operations. Each drug type in the game has its own creation method, requiring the player to manage resources, unlock new recipes, and optimize output without drawing too much attention. Failure to manage logistics effectively can lead to supply shortages or police crackdowns.

Danger, Strategy, and Survival
As operations grow, so do the risks. Law enforcement becomes increasingly aggressive, setting up raids, checkpoints, and surveillance. Meanwhile, rival cartels compete for market space and won’t hesitate to use violence. Players must make constant choices—whether to bribe officials, go to war with competitors, or lay low until pressure fades. Combat plays a significant role, but surviving in Hyland Point also requires street smarts, long-term planning, and adapting to changing threats.
Schedule 1 delivers a grounded, complex experience that mixes simulation and action in an unpredictable urban environment. It’s not just about growing profits—it’s about outlasting the competition, staying one step ahead of the law, and managing a network that can collapse just as fast as it rises. Whether playing solo or in co-op, the game offers a layered challenge for players who enjoy risk-reward mechanics and strategic empire-building under pressure.
