Schedule I is high up on my wishlist to eventually play-through, thankfully being in Early Access I've got plenty of time to get to it and it's only going to get better with full Steam Deck support planned.
It’s a drug empire simulator, you start off with practically nothing, and begin your career growing weed, over time you unlock dealers to help you distribute your product, botanists to manage the plants, new places to grow, you move on to harder drugs and more complex methods to increase the price of your products. As you progress, you unlock more parts of the town to distribute to, along with businesses to launder the money you make. It’s only 25 bucks canadian on steam, and a demo to try it out. It’s a bit buggy but a blast to play with friends.
I didnt notice at first but a friend pointed it out: it’s the same game loop as cookie clicker. This is just an idle/clicker game. You start manual dealing/clicking. And then you automate it. and it turns into a game of managing your automations rather than actually clicking yourself.
“I was expecting it to be a joke 20 minutes then throw away game, but holy crap, this is actually pretty deep and well thought out.” - Also my friend.
What kind of game is it?

Cookie clicker didn’t have much in terms of managing the automations - just adding more and upgrading them.
Sure.you figure out which parts to scale when.
But point being that it quickly pivots into automating away tasks you were previously doing by hand.
Its more of a tycoon game which is kinda similar to clicker games but typically much more gameplay
