Creator of drug lord hit Schedule 1 had a backup plan so that "if Steam wouldn't take it for whatever reason, I could just pivot it to be a farming game" and "strip all the drug stuff out" (www.gamesradar.com)

Of all the Golden Joystick Awards 2025 winners, Schedule 1 arguably stood out as one of the most unique – after all, it is about running your own drug empire… but, what if it wasn't?

After launching into Early Access on Steam, Schedule 1 took the web by storm and currently sits with "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews eight months on. Players praise it as a fun management game, with many spending over 100 hours in-game. At the Golden Joystick Awards, Schedule 1 further proved itself with a win and a nomination, bagging the Breakthrough Award and going up as a Best Early Access Game contender.

I enjoyed the demo but had no idea it was doing this good. I'm glad to hear it! It's on my wishlist but I'm just not sure I want to get into a management game atm

I played the demo no problem on Linux and I went to buy it and it wouldn't launch saying windows only. I had to refund.

It might have been my problem somehow but troubleshooting a new game is not something I'm willing to spend my time on.

Works flawlessly on proton

In the future, you just need to make sure the game is running on Proton. You might need to change the Proton version.

Just clicking those drop-down options will be the majority of "troubleshooting" you'll have to do to get games working.
