Turmoil Free Download
Turmoil is a charming and surprisingly strategic simulation game that transports you back to the 19th-century North American oil boom. You play as an aspiring entrepreneur looking to out-hustle three colorful rivals and become the town’s wealthiest oil baron. The core loop is elegantly simple yet deeply addictive: you bid on land at the town auction, use dowsers to find oil, and build a network of pipes and rigs to suck the “black gold” out of the earth.
The real challenge lies in the market’s volatility. You must decide whether to sell your oil immediately to Left or Right Inc., or store it in silos, waiting for prices to peak. As you progress, you’ll reinvest your profits back in town—upgrading your drills to break through rock, buying faster horses, or bribing the local mayor to gain an edge in land auctions. With its clean, minimalist art style and a relaxing acoustic soundtrack, Turmoil captures the frantic “get rich quick” spirit of the era while offering a satisfying layer of resource management that rewards patience as much as aggression.
