This week Epic Games Store is giving away a fun game “Turmoil” set in the United States of 1890s.
Turmoil (the title is a pun on the world oil) is a charming and strategic simulation game that transports players back to the oil rush of the 1890s in the United States. The game offers a lighthearted yet challenging experience of becoming an oil entrepreneur in a competitive and rapidly evolving industry. The game combines strategy, economic management, and a little bit of humor, making it an engaging choice for players of all skill levels.
Set during the oil boom in the late 19th century, Turmoil captures the spirit of the era when prospectors and industrialists raced to extract black gold from the earth. Players begin as humble hopefuls looking to strike it rich in a small frontier town. The narrative unfolds through interactions with quirky townsfolk, rival entrepreneurs, and the mayor, who oversees the auctions for oil-rich land. As the story progresses, players climb the social and economic ladder, vying to become the wealthiest tycoon in town.
The gameplay is centered around exploring, extracting, and selling oil. Players start by purchasing plots of land at auctions, using dowsers, moles, or scanners to locate oil reserves. Once oil is discovered, players construct rigs, lay pipelines, and manage the flow of oil to storage facilities or directly to market. Balancing costs, logistics, and timing is crucial to maximizing profits.
The market is dynamic, with oil prices fluctuating between two competing buyers, Left Inc. and Right Inc. Players must decide when to sell or store oil to capitalize on favorable prices. As players earn more money, they can invest in upgrades such as faster dowsers, larger silos, or more efficient drilling equipment which allows for greater productivity and profits.
The ultimate goal of Turmoil is to outmaneuver rival tycoons and become the wealthiest oil baron in town. Along the way, players can buy shares in the town, aiming to secure majority ownership and win the mayoral election at the end of the game.
