A business management sim game with a twist

Developer Dope Games and publisher Merge Games have just revealed their next indie title, unusually named Definitely Not Fried Chicken. I'm saying unusual because it doesn't have anything to do with KFC or fried chicken in general.

Definitely Not Fried Chicken is a business management sim with a twist. It's hard to guess, but this game is about growing a drug trade empire through legitimate fronts by managing both sides of the business. In game, you'll be able to buy new “businesses,” meet new clientele, develop more potent narcotics, make lots of money, and leave a city in ruin. Interestingly enough, the game is set in the ‘80s.

Basically, players must build their drugs compound from the ground up, buy adjoining plots of land and expand. It's a mix between a building and business management sim, as players must design and lay out the production line and establish distribution routes.

There's also research in the game, which helps players develop better strains of narcotics like marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine. And thanks to your legitimate business, you should also be able to sell legal goods to avoid detection. You'll be able to run a chain of fried chicken stores or diversify your portfolio with other businesses.

To be successful in the game, you'll have to balance the demanding tasks of managing both the illegal drugs trade and the other “legit” businesses. To help with that, players must build and customize their drugs compound and business fronts.

The game also lets players upgrade facilities and staff equipment for a better product and a bigger profit, as well as manage their workforce, hire and fire, and accommodate for their wants and needs to do great work.

Definitely Not Fried Chicken will be released on PC in 2021, so make sure to wishlist the game on Steam if you want o know when exactly it launches.
