[Update] Notorious Inc is a supervillain simulator that lets you buy narcotics from a sock puppet
Now that's evil
It's a thankless job, being an evil villain.
You build up your island fortress and extort the local populous to work in your nerve gas factories only to have some random hero kick in your door and upend the entire operation without paying a thought to all the work you put into it.
The upcoming Notorious Inc aims to give the world a glimpse at the finer points of villainy by placing the job of building an evil empire squarely in the hands of the player.
Better yet, it accomplishes this with a unique mixture of Venture Brothers humour, James Bond allure, and a hefty dose of Drugwars gameplay tossed in to move the whole thing along.
While you can and should upgrade your island fortress of evil, the real allure of Notorious Inc seems to rest in its economic simulation that lets you buy and sell nefarious commodities to maximise your profit margins.
If you have any fond memories of wasting some idle time of Drugwars / DopeWars or ever wanted to slip into the Komodo Dragon skin suit of an evil mastermind, keep an eye out for Notorious Inc on iOS and Android soon.
We've reached out to the developer to see if we can receive a rough launch window for the game, and we'll update this story when we hear back.
