Steam Store description

We need to cook! You are a drug-designing genius, living a bland existence in a middle-class neighborhood in Utah. You decide you want more out of life, so you buy a beat-up RV, drive it into the desert, and cook up drugs. You find a reliable drug distributor to sell your product, make enormous profits, and upgrade from your humble RV cook, to a Megalab in the city. But you must be careful... Your money has to be laundered safely before you can spend it. The Government can't know of your illicit dealings. Until then, store your millions on a pallet in the basement. Slowly grow your business until you own the largest drug empire in the state! Game Features: Scientifically-Accurate (somewhat) Drug Cooking Mechanics. Complete all the real-life steps of cooking meth! Operate a realistic money-laundering Business; selling fake digital art to YOURSELF. Earn Immense Profits, and upgrade from your humble RV to a MEGALAB in the city, and buy a Penthouse to store your money in. Become the ultimate Drug Kingpin This game was developed by 1 person (me) as a resume-building game to show employers my skills. I look forward to the community I hope this game will create! Please ignore the bugs haha. There are a few left in there, but I've taken most of them out. If you encounter one, please join my Discord and let me know!
