Schedule 1

Schedule 1 is an open-world crime management game where the player starts as an unknown figure entering the underground drug trade in Hyland Point. With no resources or reputation, progress depends on making deals, producing substances, and staying ahead of increasing threats. The city reacts to the player’s actions—growing operations attract police attention, while cartel rivals watch for weakness. Every decision, from what to produce to who distributes it, plays a role in building a sustainable criminal empire.

Systems, Production, and Territory Control

In Schedule I, the player must manage a production pipeline from raw material gathering to street-level sales. Each type of drug has a distinct formula, requiring tools, ingredients, and time to create. Recipes can be discovered, stolen, or improved for stronger results. The player can expand by purchasing properties, setting up labs, and assigning roles to NPC workers. The map includes supply zones, customer-heavy districts, and high-risk cartel areas. Moving product safely involves planning routes, evading surveillance, and maintaining pressure on competitors.

Expansion, Combat, and Risk

Beyond logistics, players must be ready to defend their operation. Encounters with law enforcement or enemy factions can turn violent, with access to melee weapons and firearms when negotiation fails. As the empire grows, so do internal challenges—staff loyalty, financial strain, and the risk of exposure all factor into long-term success. Schedule I encourages both hands-on and strategic playstyles, offering a mix of street-level action and large-scale management. Whether working alone or in online co-op, players are challenged to control a dangerous trade in a volatile city.
