Jesse, Time to Cook! Drug Empire-Sim, Definitely Not Fried Chicken Out Now on Epic Games Store

Silver Lining Interactive and Dope Games are thrilled to announce that the cynically hilarious, satirical business-management sim, Definitely Not Fried Chicken, is now available on Epic Games Store. Not only that, it’s launching with a free giveaway!

The “definitely-not-drugs” game has gathered a cult following since its launch first into Early Access and through to V1.0 - and it’s ready for a new wave of players to dive into mayhem, management, and mayhem again.

‘We’ve smuggled this game onto Epic like a suspiciously heavy duffel bag in the trunk of a borrowed car,’ joked Ross, Head of Marketing at Silver Lining. ‘Finally hitting the platform means thousands of new players can begin their journey from ‘average fast-food chain worker’ to ‘please-don’t-ask-what’s-in-the-basement’ boss.’

Build Your Empire - Legal Fronts, Illegal Gains

Definitely Not Fried Chicken throws players into a sunny, 1980s-style cityscape where you run a fried-chicken restaurant, laundromats, nightclubs, donut shops and more. Behind the scenes? You’re masterminding a full-blown alternative-medicine empire, producing and distributing substances while juggling legal fronts to launder your money.

Ready to dive into the chaos? Play Definitely Not Fried Chicken for FREE on Epic Games Store now, and start building your fast-food empire - basement secrets included.

Key Features

  • Start from scratch: Acquire plots, build your first fried-chicken joint and hire staff!

  • Grow your underground business: Cultivate strains, manage production rooms, storage, and deliveries.

  • Dual-business balancing act: Run your “legal” businesses to keep revenue flowing and cover your tracks while managing the high-risk illegal operations.

  • Deep management and strategy: Customize facilities, plan supply chains, manage staff needs, and expand strategically across the city.

  • Satirical, stylised setting: The game leans heavily into dark comedy, parodying drug-empire tropes with a voxel-style, isometric aesthetic.
