Schedule 1 and its interesting premise that may give you a Breaking Bad-esque experience

Schedule 1's premise is simple. You start out as a narcotics manufacturer who works out of your RV. However, this vehicle gets destroyed by rivals at the start of the game. Then, you must relocate the operation and start from scratch all over again.

The game certainly deals with complicated themes that give it a crime drama-like feel. There are themes of narcotics, violence, and much more, and while none of it is too graphic, it delivers an engaging experience for players.

As mentioned earlier, it's a life-simulation game. Therefore, you must make your own decisions to grow your empire by manufacturing different sorts of narcotics such as Marijuana, M**h, and Co***ne. This naturally also requires you to expand your operation headquarters and take risks while doing so.

You may run into trouble with law enforcement, rivals, and even day-to-day citizens and will have to navigate your way through these difficult situations. All of this must be done without endangering your business.

If this sounds familiar, then perhaps it's fair to say that Schedule 1 can mimic certain themes from the famous drama led by Bryan Cranston's Heisenberg, Breaking Bad. For those unaware, the show tells the story of a genius high-school chemistry teacher who turns to a life of crime after discovering that he has untreatable lung cancer.

Schedule 1 is certainly an interesting entry in the life-simulation genre. Released on March 25, 2025, the game has received overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam with over 20,000 player accounts.

Interestingly, this is the first game released by independent developer TVGS, and it has officially hit over two million downloads. It's important to note that this is a major milestone for the developer, especially because it is a paid game that costs around $10.30.

Overall, it's a rather enjoyable and novel experience for those who are attracted to crime dramas such as Breaking Bad. While you may not get the tight, jaw-clenching narrative twists as seen in the TV show, you can still engage in some thrilling adventures.
