About the Game

You want to run a cartel for big fat money! You have a talent for it! But there are many obstacles in your way!

Running a criminal empire isn't easy.

Ethical Dilemmas


Hire the right people to uncover traitors leaking your secrets!
Spot the spies hiding in your organization.
- How you deal with them is your call!



Will you really save the employee captured by enemies?
- Even if it's the perfect chance to fire that useless employee?

Why hire someone expensive to test new drugs?
- When you can use your own employees for free!

What will you do when employees steal from you?
Turn a blind eye or cut off their fingers to set an example?

Show the rival boss who's in charge by cutting off their fingers.
Or let them go and turn them into an ally.

Thinking of killing a captured agent?
Or maybe bribe them to join your side?

Listen to employees whining for bonuses and build rapport.
Or just ignore their complaints and move on.

Upgrade your employees!
But beware, they might die from overwork!

Recruit new chemists to develop groundbreaking drugs.

Create new drugs to wow your customers. Or use them in battles for an extra edge.

Sell drugs and rub shoulders with celebrities.
Team up with competitors and famous faces to fend off raids.

Enemy factions are growing stronger!
Defend your base from their relentless attacks!
