Developer Byterunners
Drug Dealer Simulator is a 2020 simulation video game developed by Byterunners and published by Movie Games S.A. In the game, the player assumes the role of a drug dealer that must create and sell drugs, slowly creating a drug empire while avoiding local law enforcement.

Drug Dealer Simulator is a cool concept with some fun moments. Building up your own operation, managing clients, and expanding your territory is surprisingly engaging at first. There is a nice sense of progression as you grow from small deals into something bigger. That said, it never fully hooked me. It can get repetitive, and I did not feel pulled to keep pushing into the later game. With Schedule 1 out now, it is …

i enjoyed it for the first few hours, but after that it got pretty boring. it's exactly what the title says it is - you're just a drug dealer, but it gets really repetitive and the only difficulty increase is that people will order way more than what you can currently afford or have on-hand. the wait time for supplies also increases as you need more stuff, so you'll have to wait 4+ in-game hours. you can speed up …

I went into DDS1 expecting a goofy little DD game to kill an hour or two. What I actually got was a full-blown life of crime simulator that somehow had me checking on my digital plants like they were my real children. The beauty of DDS1 is how hands-on everything feels. You’re not just clicking “produce item” in a menu like some spreadsheet simulator. You’re actually growing, packaging, managing deals, expanding …

The game that came out years before schedule 1 yet lost to them in sales within weeks of release. Then tried to sue the single dev that created schedule 1 for stolen gaming mechanics or whatever. This is the more realistic version of schedule 1, but you worked for the cartel first, and it's without co-op. Shame it seems like the devs abandoned it, would love to see more to this story. Personally I enjoy it more than …

Drug Dealer Simulator is easily one of the best dirt cheap simulators i ever got and features pretty much everything you want in a drug dealing sim. Here, choices actually matter-Deposited too much money? Expect the cops. Backpack looking too expensive? Prepare for a search. Carrying too much? Off to jail you go. Dealing at midnight on police hours? Tie your shoes properly, theese guys are faster than Flash. The …

It's going to be the biggest payout you've ever seen once you move it all. Then, one of your dealers places an order. Naturally, you agree and go to deliver it to him. As you go, notifications start spamming the screen telling you that the cops found your plants. You find the dealer standing next to your now-vaporized plantation. Apparently when the devs coded NPC's to report your plants, they…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lot of features were teased during promotion but never delivered and the actual game is way more stripped down than any expectation from the trailers. It never felt finished and a lot of things give a rushed impression. The world feels dead and the post-apocalyptic design seems like a cut corner. The gameplay is simple and repetitive, more like a typical phone game. The graphics are not well optimized and it's hard to get a proper fps.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, i don't understand it has no more success. I played also schedule I so i can compare them... Schedule is cool too and a bit different. Graphics are more funny and cartoon, this one is more realistic. The main difference is about gameplay, this game is a bit rough (especially for preparing packages for customers). Schedule also proposes coop multiplayer which is pretty nice but apart from that they are of a similar quality... Which is a big advantage for this game in particular when…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just get Schedule 1. Way better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its just mid, mid chases, mid packaging, mid customers, just mid all around, schedule 1 is way better and doesnt take itself seriously
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had to scour the internet for a fix just to get it to launch. Once it did launch the frame rate stayed at 15 FPS and was not enjoyable to play at all. For a $2 game I'm not upset. Had I bought it at full-price, I would be upset.

Chose to comeback to the game after a couple years just to try and get all of the achievements and so far its been great and has taken so much time off my hands but in a good way lol. If your thinking about hopping back on or buying the game you should just go for it! its a great experience

This game is the loneliest experience you will ever encounter. The city is dead. The game is repetitive and after a couple hours becomes horrendously stale. I powered through to see if anything changed and well it doesn't. At least with another similar game, the people who walk around can be sold too. You provide samples to people for minimal XP, seems like a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awful game, and I mean it. I barely ever write reviews, not even for games I genuinely love and enjoy but this one deserves every bit of my hate. The game has a 10-minute “intro” where they keep showing the names of the developers and creators on screen for over TEN minutes straight, apparently trying to be funny about it. It gets old incredibly fast. The tutorial is awful too. It explains everything except what you actually need to know. The packaging table is one of the least intuitive…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Noy having been a drug dealer, I was a cop for 25 years. I can tell you from the police side, this game is very true to life (not the police characters). I assume it is very close to the life of a dealer though. Really fun game. You can get lost for hours in this game.

Despite its controversial premise, the game pulls you in with its surprisingly deep mechanics, dark humor, and sense of progression. And, if we're being honest, it’s way more fun than its…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't start the game , it says missing game executable . Tried both options at launch and still nothing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the controls re awful and they do a terrible job of explaining it. not even playable with the gamepad and the controls for the keyboard are so unintuitive i would only recommend playing if you want to get frustrated. if they can fix the controls issue i would play the game. until then ill try to ge4t a refund or maybe wait to see if they can make it playable. otherwise it could be a fund game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's ok, but Schedule 1 is better
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible game, schedule 1 is just a way better game to play than this garbage, has half of the content of schedule 1, graphics suck, a solid 2.5/10 game so far. I genuinely can't play anymore of it, everything with the controls and the movements is too wonky for me to want to ever play this game ever again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Used to play a lot of this game, got to over level 69 (achievement), came back to the game today got to level 10ish and started getting lowlevelfatalerror's and fatal errors which crashed the game... tried looking up advice to no avail, now when I try starting up the game it just crashes... I've never played with mods. I love the grind with this game, it's unique from others, but if the dev's don't care about fixing it I cannot recommend anyone to purchase this game for the first time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game sucks ass and is very hard to work. Very difficult to understand how to package materials. Irl is easy asf. A scale and bags. That simple. This game makes it out to be a science project. ♥♥♥♥ this game and whoever made it

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll never buy from this developer again. They are basically a scam company with empty promises and unfinished work before pushing out dlcs and sequels. They'll never get another dime from me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's Schedule I but more realistic, Unluckily they finished it and made the second game, without updating this, but i think that if this had more updates, it would be 100x better than Schedule I. (Btw i have 100 hours in both games, so i know what i'm talking about.)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved to play this game, its very satisfying, simple and fun. Late game does get a little repetetive since your only goal is to gain more money. I also get that this game got negative reviews for attempting to sue Schedule one but its the publisher doing that not the developer! Discord: Penmen YouTube: @Penmen1 Twitch: Penmen11

You need Liam Neeson set of skills just to care enough to figure out how to open the front door. I live in a car. The inside is the outside. It took me 30 minutes to figure out how the door was locked and another hour to question why. Don't these guys have guns? Do they lock the door every single time? What is their driveway made out of?

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game engine is the Unreal Engine, but you have to be told. Otherwise you'd think it is a badly optimized Unity game. The graphics are ... not where you want to live, ugly. Trying to be realistic? But they are just repellent. The interface is bad. Really, REALLY bad. You want to get 240$ from your stash? Have fun moving a slider. When moving drugs, you can enter a number, so they know it is useful. But it is not possible for money. When moving drugs from incoming packages to your…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Never compare this to Schedule I again! Schedule I is so much better, this game takes a minute to save while Schedule I saves instantly after pressing the button. Can't just split the product I have to go back to the work station to split it while Schedule I splits it before handing the product to the customer. You also made the casino DLC on Schedule I the game comes with the casino. I will probably never play this game again. More products to sell but a chore to play.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So boring. The town is a ghost town, barely any npc's, mostly cops. There's no auto save, lost 1-2hours of gameplay. Bought a new place, went and made some deals at night and than went there to save, was about to go out again but then there's a cop standing right outside the door. Open the door, and the cop just stands there. I go to a backroom, and the cop repositions to outside the window, not sure what that ♥♥♥♥ is about.. Compared to Schedule I, this is boring and dull. Will probably just…
