The Epic Games Store is offering the management simulator Definitely Not Fried Chicken at no cost until February 5. Developed by Dope Games and released in 2023, the game blends legitimate business operations with a covert criminal enterprise. Players must balance fried chicken restaurants and other fronts while managing an underground narcotics network in a stylized 1980s city.
The Epic Games Store has updated its weekly free game promotion, replacing last week's Rustler - Grand Theft Horse with Definitely Not Fried Chicken. This title, published by Silver Lining Interactive, became available for permanent addition to players' libraries starting today. The offer lasts seven days, ending before the next giveaway on February 5, 2023 release date aligns with its solo mode focusing on strategy and simulation elements, including categories like management, sandbox, and city builder mechanics. At its core, the game challenges players to navigate a dual existence in a sun-drenched urban setting evoking the 1980s glamour. On one hand, participants build and oversee lawful enterprises such as fried chicken outlets, laundromats, and nightclubs. These require establishing supply chains, hiring staff, satisfying customers, and generating revenue to maintain a facade of normalcy. Simultaneously, the illicit dimension demands researching products, acquiring land, and constructing production lines for narcotics manufacturing and distribution. Players fortify their facilities against intruders and innovate new drug variants to boost profits. Success hinges on seamlessly integrating both worlds—ensuring legitimate income masks suspicious activities while scaling the hidden operation efficiently. This twisted premise distinguishes it from conventional business sims, emphasizing risk management and deception. PC gamers can claim the game directly from the Epic Games Store during the limited window, joining a lineup of freebies that refresh weekly. For those interested in similar titles, the store continues to highlight upcoming promotions and deals.
