About
Volstead City is rotten and dangerous. Your brother—once the top bootlegger in town—was arrested in a police raid. Now it’s your turn to take over. As Potbellied Racoon and his men try to seize control of the city, you’ll need to dodge both the cops and the criminals while uncovering the truth behind your brother’s arrest.
Create your brand, grow your crops, craft your booze, and meet eccentric customers across the city. Complete their quirky missions, build relationships, and grow your underground empire.
From beer to hard liquors — grow your ingredients and master the machines to craft a wide variety of drinks. Ferment, distill, barrel-age, and infuse flavors to create truly unique bottles then automate it all for maximum profit.
Design your own label, slap it on the bottle, and let the streets of Volstead know your name.
Explore three seasonal regions, drive unique vehicles, uncover neighborhoods, and meet a cast of colorful NPCs.
Each region has its own unique demands and preferences.
Deliver the right drinks to the right neighborhoods, strengthen your contacts, and expand your network.
Move through the districts, grow your influence, and become the one who runs the entire town.
Volstead’s streets are more than just business. Gangs make their own rules, and mistakes are never forgiven. Stay sharp, know who you’re dealing with, and stay alert if you want to survive.

There is something here that's satisfying, but still very bare bones. Very Schedule 1 with alcohol, but you have to track down sales on your own and barter the quantity and price on the spot. The map is big and you only interact with a small slice of it, but still feels kinda empty. My biggest qualm is that I played the demo, then saw this Prologue had recently been put up so I figured I'd try that out. They are the same thing, the only difference being that one quest giver does not require a follow up visit in the Prologue that did in the demo. Not sure why there are 2 offerings of the same experience. It feels like this could go either way; could come out and be way more fleshed out and fun to play, or it could just be a longer version of the demo.
The Brewline — Prologue — бесплатная одиночная игра в жанрах песочницы и стратегии с элементами симулятора и иммерсивного геймплея. Действие разворачивается вокруг нелегального производства алкоголя: игрок выращивает урожай, изготавливает напитки, создаёт собственный бренд, налаживает связи с клиентами и строит подпольную империю. В центре сюжета — расследование ареста брата. Игра предлагает открытый мир, крафт, управление ресурсами, стелс‑элементы и сельское хозяйство. Плюсы: бесплатная модель распространения; поддержка русского языка; сочетание множества механик: крафт, менеджмент, сельское хозяйство, стелс; открытый мир для исследования и развития бизнеса; сюжетная линия с расследованием ареста брата; свобода действий: от выращивания сырья до построения бренда; необычные задания, дополняющие основной геймплей; низкие требования к железу (игра на Unreal Engine 4). Минусы: только одиночный режим (нет мультиплеера); возможная сложность освоения из‑за обилия механик; на ранних этапах может не хватать чёткого направления — игрок сам ищет задачи; риск монотонности рутинных процессов (посев, сбор, производство); графика, хоть и на Unreal Engine 4, может не впечатлить любителей фотореализма; ограниченная реиграбельность после завершения основной сюжетной линии; возможны баги в ранней версии (стадия — в разработке). Итог: The Brewline — Prologue заинтересует любителей симуляторов, песочниц и стратегий с упором на менеджмент и развитие подпольного бизнеса. Игра привлекает необычной тематикой, свободой действий и сюжетным мотивом, но может отпугнуть обилием рутинных задач и отсутствием мультиплеера. Хороший выбор для тех, кто хочет построить свою алкогольную империю в открытом мире — если готовы к освоению сложных механик и неспешному развитию.

Até o momento só joguei o prólogo, mas o que vi até agora tá muito bom, ele é bem parecido com o Schedule I, porém com suas diferenças, e pra quem já jogou o outro game, vai adorar. Pra quem tiver interesse, postei um vídeo da demonstração no meu canal… THE BREWLINE - Prólogo PT-BR (Sem Comentários) https://youtu.be/Gs0huzFx48c
I was really sceptical about the game, because i know that games about drugs or alcohol have been not really my type of game. But im really positively surprised. It has many interactions and the world is pretty nice. I will definitely buy the full version. I can totally recommend it.
i got the game on keymailer and look great and love it
it is really fun and i had to be ready for school 4 hours ago. because i got destracted on this game it is so fun
The Brewline has a lot of potential and I really like the idea behind it. The story is interesting, the mystery makes you want to continue, and the whole concept feels fresh compared to many other simulator games. I especially liked that you can collect trash from the street and make money from it. Small details like that make the world feel more alive and give you more things to do besides just following the main objectives. There are a few things that could be improved. The tutorial at the beginning needs more work because some parts felt a bit unclear/blurry. I also think voice acting could add a lot more immersion to the story, of course only if the budget allows it. The XP system could also be adjusted a bit, because reaching level 2 felt slightly too slow. Overall, I really enjoyed it. The game has a strong idea, good atmosphere, and massive potential. I just hope the developers keep improving it and do not waste the opportunity, because this could become something really good.
if you like beer, buy this game. i like
这款游戏可玩性很强,指引性强,玩法多样,一个人节奏很慢^-^ [*]地图很大,人物都有自己的经历和喜好。给我一种酿酒流樱花校园模拟器的感觉!在这学到了关于酒的知识 :D [*]要先给一杯酒试喝,居民喜欢会成为联系人,后续会手机定酒。 酒可以自己定价格,买家接受度会随产品数量及单价波动,大概是<90%就容易不成交吧。 除了酿酒之外,捡路上的酒瓶、披萨或是酿酒时产生的垃圾扔进垃圾桶 是额外拿钱的方法。os:搞钱爽! [*]甚至可以在游戏内的手机从电脑导入喜欢的音乐,酒瓶可以自己设计logo!买酒——提升居民好感、自身等级——解锁新的哥哥独家秘方。后续应该会出更多有意思的剧情,直接添加到愿望单了好吧! [*]在很多地方设计了小巧思……不是很懂桶盛酒只需单击、但是倒酒要拖过去倾斜倒,有时候是有bug?桶在倒的时候直接飞升了需要手动拽回来。从井里打水要逆时针转动把手(一开始顺时针弄了半天 :( … 需要回复的对话显示错误,只有方格代替没有中文。对话需要到人物正前方才有交互键 [*]开局不要好奇花五美刀开电瓶车口牙! 好好听哥哥的话不要尝试左键空手打黑帮……(没有血条显示但是被打几拳会die。 总体很推荐!很肥美的免费游戏 :D
