Schedule 1

Schedule 1 places the player in Hyland Point, a city defined by risk, opportunity, and shifting power structures. Starting with nothing, you enter the illicit trade with limited options and no reputation. Every action—whether making contact, producing small batches, or managing local drops—builds toward larger operations. Each drug has its own method of synthesis, requiring tools, time, and sometimes rare additives. Recipes can be discovered that alter product quality or create entirely new variants, leading to higher demand or specialized clientele.

Territory, Supply, and Pressure 

As the network expands, players take on more than production. Property acquisition, staff management, and delivery logistics become essential to survival and growth. Dealers help move inventory, while suppliers and front operations reduce exposure. Hyland Point can be navigated by foot, board, or car, with each area introducing new risks and tactical decisions. Law enforcement tightens its presence as your influence spreads, and rival factions respond aggressively to encroachment. Equipment upgrades and combat skills play a direct role in handling these confrontations.

Expansion Through Control 

Schedule 1 scales with progress—what starts as hand-to-hand transactions becomes a system of automated production lines and armed distribution hubs. Players must coordinate every link of the operation while balancing heat from police and retaliation from competing groups. The multiplayer mode introduces cooperative strategy, where empires can be run jointly, or responsibilities split between roles. Long-term success depends on how well systems are optimized and pressure is managed. The game tracks every action, and each new level of control brings a higher level of threat.
