Schedule 1 is the best life sim I've played in years, partly because it reminds me of the greatest mode in Garry's Mod

A police officer in Schedule 1 body searching the player on the road.

Schedule 1 is all about the little things. Skating aimlessly at sunset, absent-mindedly jumping over curbs and down concrete stairs. Playing Pong and Snake on the TV of your seedy motel room. Getting up to draw the curtains of said motel room shut, stained fabric alleviating the constant paranoia that somebody will see what you're doing in there. You know – the little things.

Since launching in late March, Schedule 1 has quickly become Steam's latest breakout darling. The indie drug-dealing simulator is the platform's fourth most-played game at time of writing, sitting comfortably above the likes of Monster Hunter Wilds and Marvel Rivals, with a whopping 122,500 players on a Tuesday morning. At first glance, it looks like a joke left to run its course – the sort of game you would expect to either watch a streamer play, or pick up yourself for a few hours of fun before never touching it again.
