Vile Monarch teams up with casual stoners Devolver Digital to bring you the burgeoning legal pot industry’s first fully fledged tycoon game: Weedcraft Inc. Coming to PC in 2019, Weedcraft Inc explores the business of producing, breeding and selling weed in America, delving deep into the financial, political and cultural aspects of the country's complex relationship with this troublesome and promising plant.
Would-be Mary Jane moguls will need to prioritize resources carefully as they manage the production and distribution of their weed. Cultivate killer plants, cross-breed them to create unique strains of the devil’s lettuce, hire and manage a growing staff, and be prepared to take on the competition. As in real life, the business of bud presents plenty of opportunity along with a plethora of problems. Decide when and where to take on extra risk to maximize profit, but be careful, the cops and politicians are all working their own angles.
An important, controversial topic presented in an insightful and detailed manner, Weedcraft Inc presents a challenge to those would rule the reefer offering a series of diverse scenarios and unique characters to work with (or around) as your budding empire grows. Whether you choose to hobnob with politicians, pay off the po-po, fight for medical marijuana rights or work the legal system, it’s all in the name of the sticky icky and your cutthroat corporate profits.
Game features:

Weed isn't particularly controversial these days except among politicians and parents. Obviously you shouldn't start smoking until you're 20-21 (due to the effect it has on brains not fully grown) and not smoke all the time/every day since it's been proven to halt your mental development if it's abused chronically. On the other hand, if you quit you'll reboot that process and continue development.
Meet Johnny, a would-be MBA turned cannabis tycoon, who will tell you about his journey through shifting legal and moral obstacles in the nuanced world of Weedcraft Inc. Make his story your own on April 11 and decide if he ends up as an illegal drug lord, legal entrepreneur or someone in between.
The idea behind it is solid - the execution and UI not so much.
The game quickly devolved into a mobile-esque affair of holding down the button to tend plants and sell stuff. Yes, you can hire employees to do it for you - but they're nowhere near as efficient as if you do it yourself.
Also, the UI isn't very well thought out in terms of presenting information to you on one screen, often requiring multiple clicks to see basic stuff.
Nowhere near as good as I thought it was going to be. Some might enjoy it though.
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.
