Creator of drug lord hit Schedule 1 had a backup plan so that "if Steam wouldn't take it for whatever reason, I could just pivot it to be a farming game" and "strip all the drug stuff out" (www.gamesradar.com)

Of all the Golden Joystick Awards 2025 winners, Schedule 1 arguably stood out as one of the most unique – after all, it is about running your own drug empire… but, what if it wasn't?

After launching into Early Access on Steam, Schedule 1 took the web by storm and currently sits with "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews eight months on. Players praise it as a fun management game, with many spending over 100 hours in-game. At the Golden Joystick Awards, Schedule 1 further proved itself with a win and a nomination, bagging the Breakthrough Award and going up as a Best Early Access Game contender.

I enjoyed the demo but had no idea it was doing this good. I'm glad to hear it! It's on my wishlist but I'm just not sure I want to get into a management game atm

I did get the early access and quite enjoyed It up until the production lines got a little complex. A few bugs here and there like employees not doing what they needed to do and the production chain breaking.

I gave it a break after that but maybe I will pick it up again to see if those issues have been fixed.

There was also a small annoyance where something's could not be automated and it was tedious having to do it manually all the time less the production break down again. Like ordering supplies and restocking the shelves. Hopefully they add a subscription service to phone orders if they haven't already.
