GTA 6 Alternative Adds Psychedelic Mushrooms
For gamers eagerly awaiting the chaotic freedom of Grand Theft Auto VI, the wait can feel endless. However, a clever indie game has emerged as a surprising and popular alternative, offering a different kind of criminal enterprise. Schedule 1, a drug empire simulator that took Steam by storm earlier this year, has just received a major update that expands its illicit gameplay in a trippy new direction.

The game tasks players with building a drug operation from the ground up, starting with humble beginnings and gradually expanding their influence to take over an entire town. Since its release in March, it has already added features like rival cartels and shotguns, creating a more dynamic and dangerous world.
The latest update introduces a highly requested feature from the community: psychedelic mushrooms. This addition marks the first foray into hallucinogens for the game, which previously only allowed players to produce and sell marijuana, methamphetamines, and cocaine. The ‘shrooms come with a completely new production process, unique equipment, a dedicated supplier, and of course, new visual effects for customers, promising a fresh layer of strategy and mayhem.
This update is a direct result of player feedback. The developer, TVGS, actively asked the community what they wanted to see next. While suggestions ranged from a revamped delivery system to a fishing mini-game, the introduction of a new drug type won out, demonstrating the developer’s commitment to a player-driven roadmap.
The consistent updates have cemented Schedule 1‘s reputation as a deeply engaging management sim with a darkly humorous edge. It offers a specific, focused criminal fantasy that is captivating a large audience during the long lead-up to GTA VI‘s release.

It’s important to note that Schedule 1 is only available legitimately on Steam, as the developer has warned players to avoid ongoing scam listings that have appeared on other platforms like PlayStation.
