What is Definitely Not Fried Chicken?

This single-player management sim takes place in a sunny 1980s city, where you run a drug operation behind legal businesses. From an isometric view, you expand across plots of land, lay out production facilities and storefronts, manage workers and distribution routes, and research new drugs.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy building supply chains and managing workers in detail
  • +you like crime-themed sandboxes with dark humor

Not for you if...

  • you prefer light management over detailed staff scheduling
  • you want a fast start without a steep learning curve

What players say

73% of 2,578 reviews are positive · 52% of 21 in the last 30 days

Players praise the drug-front concept and the process of building supply chains. They complain about confusing menus, bugs that can corrupt saves, and performance that worsens in longer games. Many say the later game lacks depth and that updates have stopped.
