Definitely Not Fried Chicken

September 29, 2023 Dope Game Silver Lining Interactive, Merge Games
Simulator Strategy
About

A business management sim with a twist, players will grow their drug trade empire through ‘legitimate’ fronts by managing both sides of the business. One uses the front door, another uses the back! Acquire new ‘businesses’, meet new clientele, develop more potent narcotics, make lots of money, and leave a city in ruin!

Set in a sunshine soaked city in the glamorous '80s, Definitely Not Fried Chicken is the ultimate test of your entrepreneurial business skills.

Build your drugs compound from the ground up, buy adjoining plots of land and expand. Design and lay out your complete production line and establish distribution routes. Fortify your compound’s defences and make sure any ‘overly-enthusiastic’ customers can't break in. Research and develop better strains of narcotics like marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine.
