Deal | Steam Summer Sale: First discount for hit simulation that mixes Breaking Bad and South Park – nearly 200K reviews, 98% positive
Schedule I is a unique life simulation that blends the gritty edge of Breaking Bad with the dark humor of South Park. Instead of settling into a stable, middle-class existence, you step into the shoes of a small-time crook with big ambitions – to rise through the ranks and become a full-blown drug kingpin. Your journey kicks off in a dingy motel room with nothing but a few scrappy plants and a dream. From there, you'll grow your first batch of sellable product through a series of quirky, hands-on mini-games focused on cultivating and harvesting your illegal greenery.
But building a drug empire isn’t a solo mission. Players need to set up a network of dealers and assign them the most efficient routes. To figure those out, you can explore Hyland Point – a decaying coastal town – on foot, by skateboard or in a car. Just don’t let your guard down. Both the police and rival gangs are constant threats. While the game’s theme is serious, its visual style is anything but. With oversized character models and bold, cartoonish colors, Schedule I leans into a goofy, slightly trashy aesthetic that adds to its offbeat charm.
Reviews: Highly addictive gameplay
Don’t let the trashy visuals fool you – Schedule I has nearly 200,000 reviews on Steam, with an impressive 98% rated positive. Players praise its addictive gameplay loop and surprising depth, calling it both engaging and fun. The mix of humor and creative freedom leads to plenty of entertaining moments, and for an Early Access title, the technical execution is considered solid. Active support from the developers is also frequently highlighted – though some criticize the limited long-term content and the absence of certain quality-of-life features.
First discount on Steam
Schedule I launched in Early Access on March 24, 2025, and according to developer and publisher TVGS, it’s expected to stay there for about two years. As part of the Summer Sale, the game is available at a 30% discount until July 10. Instead of the usual $19.99, you can grab it now for $13.99 – and according to SteamDB, it’s the game’s first-ever discount.
