Steam’s Newest Breakout Indie Already Has Over 100K Players (And You Can Try It For Free)

Although it may seem that “Assassin’s Creed Shadows” is dominating Steam at the moment, you’d be mistaken. Indeed, the latest Assassin’s Creed has been a successful venture for Ubisoft, but the game ruling the trending releases on Steam is a different one entirely. To be precise, it’s not a king or a drug lord, but rather a drug lord in a video game – “Schedule I.” This indie game was released into Early Access on March 24th and has already outperformed “Assassin’s Creed Shadows,” boasting over 100,000 concurrent players at the same time.

The game titled “Schedule I” hails from independent developer TVGS, also known as Tyler. It’s a crime simulator set in an open world, where you climb the criminal ranks by dealing with Schedule I substances, essentially drugs. The game offers first-person cartoon visuals that guide you through cultivating, manufacturing, and distributing these substances, from humble beginnings to building your own drug empire. Essentially, it’s like playing a video game version of “Breaking Bad”. What makes this game particularly appealing is its multiplayer cooperative mode. You can team up with friends to manage your drug empire collectively, allowing players to experience the chaotic gameplay together.

Ever since its Early Access debut, the game has garnered an extraordinarily favorable rating on Steam, boasting over 5000 reviews that label it as such. It’s evident that gamers are eager for a captivating, cooperative management game that incorporates simulation and automation elements. Additionally, the unconventional drug lord theme adds to its allure.

As a gamer, I’m excited to share that the city-building gem, Schedule I, is currently on sale during Steam’s City Building & Colony Sim festival! However, the discount isn’t overwhelmingly generous, offering only a 15% reduction from its initial price of $20. That means you can grab this Early Access indie sensation for just $16.99 until March 31st. But don’t let the modest discount fool you—it’s not just the price that’s making Schedule I a hit on Steam.

If you’re curious about the game, there’s a free demo available that lets you test the waters and experience a taste of Schedule I’s captivating gameplay. So, why not give it a try and see if this game becomes your new favorite?
