Schedule I is a popular crime simulator and strategy game developed by TVGS (Tyler’s Video Game Studio), released in early access on March 24, 2025 on Steam for Windows. In this open-world simulation you start as a small-time drug dealer in the gritty fictional city of Hyland Point, and your goal is to build a criminal empire from nothing. You manage production and distribution of a variety of substances, hire dealers, purchase properties, and expand your operation across diverse neighbourhoods—each with its own economy and risks.
The game blends economic simulation, business management, open-world exploration, and tactical elements, with mature themes and dark comedy that satirise underworld economics. As your enterprise grows, so does attention from law enforcement and rival cartels, leading to strategic combat and high-stakes risk-reward decisions. Players can explore the world on foot, skateboard, or in vehicles, and must balance profit against mounting “heat.” The title also offers co-op multiplayer where friends can join forces to grow their drug network together. Schedule I is currently Windows-only on Steam, but many Mac players report successfully running it using compatibility tools like CrossOver or virtual machines to play on macOS.
