Be Your Own Boss
Black Gold is a first person management simulator game where you take your place in the race for money. You are the one responsible for your success: decide who work for you, choose where you put your first steps and control how well your oil wells run.
Tools, Resources and Building
Before drilling can begin, the land must be prepared. Cut down trees, process timber, and build your first derricks. Every structure is a step toward production and expanding your infrastructure.Gears and Rusty Sweat
Machines are the heart of extraction - but every pump, gear, and valve needs spare parts and constant attention. You must invest in equipment and maintain it before rust takes over.People and the Home Base
Hire workers for various roles. Each employee can be upgraded to boost your company’s efficiency. You can also upgrade your home base, unlocking new features and improving overall work conditions.
