About the Game

You could never have known you would end up in a situation like this, yet here you are: helping a Mexican cartel with money laundering. The cartel doesn’t listen to excuses and rarely gives second chances. You would not wish to disappoint them. You know what happened to the last person who did.



And so, you start small in a secluded town in Minnesota, surrounded by beautiful forests filled with dark secrets. There are several factions already in play here, and they will not want to share their influence with a rising force… but can you survive without allies?

You will need all your courage, ingenuity and perseverance to overcome the challenges before you. Even those closest to you might betray you, but you might find allies in the most unexpected places.



  • Plan your actions, acquire businesses, protect and promote your business

  • Balance your reputation with the police and two local criminal gangs lest your unreliable comrades turn against you

  • Make choices and face consequences that aren’t always immediately apparent; there is no such thing as a perfect solution

  • Embrace the corruption and climb the ranks in the cartel, try to ask the FBI for help… or find another way to ensure your safety and independence

Ever wanted to be in the shoes of Marty Byrde from Ozarks? This game lets you do that. I'm pretty early in the story so not sure how much replayability this offers, but overall the writing is competent and there are some choices that affect your stats and how the story progresses. Visuals are unimpressive but not unpleasant. If I'm to nitpick, the game does feel a bit too slow even at the max speed (at least early on when you don't have too many things to manage). Considering this is made by a very small team (like 3 people, I think), I'd say good job devs.

I had this game on my wishlist for quite some time and I must say, it was worth the wait. The playstile is easy to understand, the stroy (from what I gathered so far) seems really interesting, the graphics are simple yet well done. Overall, a good single-player game for all people who like chill management games (with a hint of dark atmosphere).

Do not buy. The game has a buggy task system. Also the business management is plain stupid and bad. Way too repetitive gameplay. No difficulty options. Choices so far do not matter much. Tutorial just scratches the surface. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY LIKE I DID !!!

Not great. Relies on way too much micromanagement. It gets really exhausting. Kinda buggy around the edges too. If my money collection or bribe run get interrupted by end of the day, the money is gone for good. Just couldn't recommend at all. It would need a lot of automation and quality of life improvements to make this game more compelling.

I usually don't play such games, but this time I was looking for something new and Steam suggested me this game, perhaps cause a friend of mine was playing it. And I am glad I gave it a go. It's a pretty solid story and conversation-driven criminal drama with immersive gameplay. Never played anything like it before, but I enjoyed the story and how my character was developing rapidly into this criminal mastermind in a small town. Gave me the vibes of Ozark as others mentioned below, Sneaky Pete or Breaking Bad. Fair play to the game devs for capturing this atmosphere in such an original way. I'm hooked. Defo looking forward to seeing what happens next. If you are into these sorts of games or looking to play something new defo give it a go.

Cool little gem with a decent length (took me 11 hours to finish one game) and multiple possible endings. The core mechanics are a bit too simple if you know your timemanagement games but it was pretty enjoyable either way.

Fan of the show Ozark? A must for you. That simple. Being a big fan of the show OZARK, this game is very fun. It's pretty much just like the show. Some say story is slow or not there, but honestly it's got a great story, some violence, plenty of money to go around, and I feel like I may have hired a person that will rat me out. Works great on the deck since all you really use is the right mouse button and the mouse pad. I did bind the steam zoom in option, to read a few things and I read someone binder the fast forward button. I never fast forward seems like it all goes to hell when I do.

It's okay, nothing too special. It plays like Cartel Tycoon, only that is about drugs and money laundering, were as this is just money laundering (or up to now from what I have played). I would recommend it.

Idea is great but the implementation is terrible. It has frustrating micromanagement, you have to constantly manually manage every business to juggle fear and loyalty or send/collect money. It lacks so many QoL features to automize mundane tasks and so you are constantly stressed but not in a fun challenging way. I will refund it which is a shame, I really wanted to play a game where we can build up a mafia business but this is just a chore with no fun.

Very recommended for players that enjoy well written, dark and interesting stories. The game has simple mechanics but that are very hard to master. The artwork is pretty good too. Glad I gave this one a chance!
