Schedule 2 is a top-down management and action game that places the player in the role of an emerging drug dealer in a fictional coastal city called Hyland Point. Starting with nothing but a phone and ambition, players work their way through the underground market by acquiring materials, producing narcotics, and distributing them to local customers. The city is divided into districts, each with unique opportunities, challenges, and law enforcement presence. Every decision impacts your rise or fall in a system governed by territory, economy, and risk.
Expansion And Territory Control
To succeed, players must secure properties that support manufacturing and sales. These properties range from low-profile buildings to more sophisticated facilities with automated systems. As operations expand, players can hire staff to handle production, logistics, or street sales. The game allows for both manual delivery and delegated distribution through AI-controlled dealers. Players must also monitor the law enforcement heat level in each district, which affects how freely they can operate. Managing visibility is key to long-term survival.
Core Gameplay Functions
Players engage in several main activities throughout their campaign:
- Producing different drug types with unique crafting requirements
- Delivering product on foot, by vehicle, or through assigned dealers
- Managing staff and supply chains across multiple properties
- Unlocking recipes to create hybrid or modified drug variants
- Reacting to events such as police raids or cartel threats
These actions can be customized depending on playstyle, whether focused on speed, secrecy, or aggressive expansion.
As the empire grows, the complexity of operations increases. Players begin to rely on real-time data such as demand rates, customer satisfaction, and regional competition. Upgrades and expansions are essential to maintain dominance and avoid collapse. Hyland Point is designed as a persistent, reactive environment where zones change based on player behavior. Taking too many risks in one area can lead to permanent shutdowns, while neglecting others can cause dealer loyalty to drop or customer flow to decrease.
Conflict And Multiplayer
Combat is included as a necessary tool rather than a central mechanic. Players can fight rivals or defend territory using melee weapons, firearms, or hand-to-hand tactics. Encounters are brief but can affect your business if employees are harmed or property is damaged. The game also features a cooperative multiplayer mode, where up to four players can build and manage a shared empire. Each participant can specialize in different aspects, such as finance, combat, or logistics, making teamwork essential for large-scale success.
