negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another game with a cool idea, that is abandoned as soon as enough money has been obtained...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The devs no longer support the game. It's not in EA anymore, sure- but it should be. If you buy it, you'll see that it still plays and feels like an incomplete game. From the UI to the content. The devs blundered the opportunity before it fully took off.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun but buggy. the bugs are devastating to saves and make hours into this game meaningless, would not recommend
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cant believe this cost money. walls dont connect. money gets spent even if it doesnt let you make the build. changing your road will delete your entire factory. and i played for 30 minutes
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Put almost 50 hours into this game just to have my save file corrupt with no way of retrieving. Massive waste of my time with zero satisfaction from not being able to see my final factory completed. Devs also not actively working on this game anymore, so this will also likely happen to you. Avoid.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dev is no longer working on the game per the official Discord.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool idea but very bad execution lacking clarity and the menus are full and not very easy to use humour is there but thats not enough
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dev has announced that: "The game is finished, I’m working on a new game now." When in reality the game is full of glitches and has room for improvement (almost) everywhere.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: Game is abadon-ware. The first 2 hours are fun but the midgame/endgame is kind of unplayable if you care about keeping employee lists organized which is important to me. Games i recommend instead: Basement - More drug manufacturing game Dungeon tycoon - Another pixely economy game Let Them Trade - A fun indie game with a focus on moving goods from one city to another Transport Fever - Kind of the most mid game in my list but I've played it a lot more than I've played this game.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't even deliver anything, Nothing on forums worked. My workers just kept dying and my delivery driver just sat there doing nothing and kept losing money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not worth it in the state that it was in and has now been abandoned.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game abandoned, incomplete game that cycles between total micromanagement to idle sim. Had a lot of promise, not worth the buy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Last day to get Definitely Not Fried Chicken for free on Epic Games Store buff.ly/aadJJDg

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I actually thoroughly enjoy this game, but one single issue has me pressed at all times, no matter how many times i fire and rehire employees they always starve to death, i have bult them a perfect kitchen with everything they need. They always choose to just starve and repeatedly pull food form the fridge and then throw it away or do the same with the vending machine snacks. My employees have everything they need to survive and enjoy their breaks and yet all they do is get desperate for food…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dev abandoned it to work on something else. They do not care about the game and only worked on it because of the publishing deal.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If the game wasn't fundamentally broken, it would be great. A 30 hour run is now bust because my cleaners stopped cleaning which created a contamination issue that I couldn't solve. I tried everything: rehiring, playing with Room group configs, reloading, removing objects, building a new room in the contaminated area, assigning that room, changing out employee inventory items, laying down different doors, any and all attempts to reset pathing, etc. Then I tried different configurations of all…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is amazing concept of blending factory games with sims. Both have only the basics so nothing complex. But sadly the developer stopped releasing updates and bug fixes (still bunch) and left no trace.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was a great concept that had great potential, but the money was made and the game was abandoned. This game was fun, still is to some extent, but it's full of bugs and you'll end up with a corrupt save eventually that'll end your playthrough.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has a lot of potential and a strong foundation. Unfortunately, there are no updates anymore and the game remains in a buggy state. In its current condition, it feels abandoned and frustrating to play.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the entire game is just navigating bad menus
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i would love the game besides for how much i have to micro manage the deliveries
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I picked this up on sale for about $4, and at that price it’s okay. The core idea is fun and there’s enjoyment to be had, but the game is definitely lacking in a lot of areas. The tutorials aren’t very helpful, so you’re often left either looking things up online or just trial-and-erroring your way through mechanics. Because of that, the game can feel confusing and frustrating early on. It also feels pretty unpolished. I ran into multiple bugs that were annoying enough to disrupt gameplay,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- bad optimized - repeated gameplay - no more update Dev created something funny and then leave it just like my dad
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great in concept, extremely buggy. Needs a lot of work and it doesn't seem the devs are as involved as they used to be.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bug makes it not even work off the very start
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →no updates in over a year its abandonware dont waste your time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even thought the developer has seemed to abandon the game, I really do hope they pick it up again. Very fun concept with a lot of potential. Picked it up for 4$ on sale, wouldn’t pay full price though. If you’re someone who loves factory/tycoon games with small micromanaging feats, you’ll get addicted quick as I have myself. I recommend only getting this game if you have a high end pc, as late game gets very Laggy. It not perfect. It’s not polished. Still fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's got some rough edges for sure, a few questionable design decisions, and the whole game is essentially a progression loop of doing mostly the same thing but with bigger numbers. However, it's *mostly* bug free and I'm yet to encounter any meaningful bugs. Unfortunately the devs have allegedly confirmed they are finished with this game, and it simply cannot be called finished. Ultimately, despite it not being close to the best game I've ever played, I can't seem to put it down... It…

unlabelledView post →Unfinished Abandonware.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned game like most of the ♥♥♥♥ on steam now days. Could have been fun, they screwed it up by a lack of care.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not so sure this game is finished. If you want to burn an afternoon, at the sale price, okay. To be fair a cool concept, love the idea. The game loop can even be addictive (no pun intended). There's lots to do. Lots to micromanage. Me I like that kind of thing in a builder. The game has a bit of a learning curve. Fine by me. Two things here. First, I really don't want to give a thumbs down on a title that some people put a lot of hard work into, it shows. From the deep management aspects…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game until you inevitably run into bugs that ruin progression and prevent the loop from looping. Probably abandonware at this point so I'd say skip it and save yourself the headache of getting 15+ hours into a run and suddenly the AI just stops doing its job and you can't make any more money, and then you cry. EDIT IT'S 2026 NOW AND I STILL LOSE RUNS YO BUGS I JUST WANT ME 100% WTF
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game concept, in need of some much needed polish. Despite this, the devs haven't been seen on it for over half a year? Opening this up to modder support at the least would be welcome at this point.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An unfinished game with an abandoned developer. What a shame, this game had real promise.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At 3:16 this morning, I asked my wife if we're ever going to grow out of this, as I played Definitely Not Fried Chicken on my laptop and she played Oxygen Not Included while we watched Dr. Jordan Breeding on YouTube. She replied that if we ever do we should walk into the sea. Goddamn I'm lucky 🧡
unlabelledView post →This game flip flops between ABSOLUTE MICROMANAGEMENT and being completely hands-off. Mostly a slog, but not a difficult game. The majority of my time in this game was just.....sitting and waiting for things to happen.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately this game is being abandoned, The Optimization is too bad. It was a fun game concept though
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried this game because of the sale, and it was fun at first, but the tutorial is super long, the game takes a small bit to get used to the very basics of it, and I got soft locked within 2 hours, which is why I refunded this game. I legit used alot of my money on land because I wasnt making much because I just started, and then the cops legit just killed all my workers and I couldnt afford new ones and I couldnt play the game anymore. I think the game itself might be good but it needs better…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game but has some bad bugs and needs more content, But unfortunately devs no longer work on the game Only buy if its on sale
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Last time I played was in August 2023. From the looks of it, lots of the bugs and issues are still there and it's pretty much abandoned. Don't buy it, it sucks.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of the times I wish there was a mixed review really really bad because this game is FUN. It looks nice, the music is jazzy synthwave (if a bit short), and the concept is fun but it just needs more polish? If you can look past that I genuinely think this is a game that you can sink your teeth into and get a really good time out of. So, Pro's first. Soundtrack is banging no complaints other than, I wish there was a few more tracks? Art style is also awesome. It looks good, sounds…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too many bugs. Hasn't been updated in over 2 years. Abandonware.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No more content nor bug fixing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →significantly incomplete
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was a fun game, until I encountered a game breaking bug. Repairing and reinstalling does nothing to help, and neither does starting a new save or any other form of troubleshooting I have tried. This game relies on employees to perform tasks for you, but the employees are broken and cannot perform any tasks, rendering the game unplayable which is extremely disappointing. I don't mind that the game isn't being updated, but they should have at least made sure it was working before abandoning it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A promising game that has sadly been abandoned by the developers. A real shame.

unlabelledView post →ASS, the potential is there but executed poorly
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love this game and it had so much potential. it's gonna take you a while to learn the mechanics and when you get the hang of it, it's addicting. what stopped me from playing was the UI. when you have too many deliveries, it can get quite overwhelming and organizing them takes too much time. definitely only get this game when it's on sale 👍
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ I played the game for about two hours yesterday, saved my progress, and exited. When I launched the game today, I was shocked to find everything like this… my save was corrupted and completely gone. Honestly, this is very frustrating. It’s not acceptable for my time to be wasted because of a save issue. I really hope the developers respond and fix this problem as soon as possible, because save-related bugs seriously ruin the experience. Secondly, the game progression is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The fun thing is this is much closer to how most people get a 'legitimate' business than not. I want the ability to choose the starter base drug you have, having mods or a half wall between kitchen and dining would be cool.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you want to sell drugs and chicken, this is definitley not the game for you as you definitely cant sell fried chicken
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Supported this game since early on and was positive about it - sad to see the developer end support without finishing the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is buggy af. Unplayable its keep having bugs even in the tutorial. Avoid at all cost even in deal. Its a scam
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Addicting game loop, the tutorial start is completely misleading and will set you up for failure in my opinion. So ignore the tutorial and try to get started, the beginning is slow and hard but ramps up once you hit a point (hint: upgrade the garage asap). Once you unlock an airport, all businesses and resturants the game is pretty much over. If the developer was still giving this game a few more updates I'd say its worth it. But as the game is now it can be frustraightinly buggy, It's not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A solid 6.5/10. I liked it, but it has a very confusing and sometimes buggy UI, requires intensive micromanaging such as determining people's work schedules hour-by-hour, yet lacks expected depth in places like being able to create delivery routines that are performed w/o your constant input. Starting with positives, the concept alone is super novel and fun. Creating successful businesses as "fronts" for drug trade, or even skipping the drug trade entirely and just making good money doing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good if you like tycoon slop (coming a victim of classic roblox tycoon slop back in the late 2000s / early 2010s). but most of my 15.6hrs of my playtime was spent in one sitting rotting in my offbrand gaming chair. otherwise, it looks like the game has been abandoned and a lot of the bugs are still in it.
