Build your criminal empire during Prohibition.
Manage speakeasies, casinos, and territories, corrupt the powerful, and shape your destiny through hundreds of narrative choices.
Chicago, 1925. The city thrives in the shadows. Prohibition has given birth to a new kind of empire—built not on law, but on bribes, bullets, and fear.
In Empire of Vice: Chicago, you play as a gangster from one of several unique backgrounds: an ambitious street thug, an exiled hitman, or a fading mob boss. Where will your story end?
This turn-based strategy and management game plunges you into an underground war where every decision shapes the fate of your criminal empire. Expand your influence by controlling neighborhoods, running speakeasies and casinos, and manipulating a web of smuggling, corruption, and betrayal. But beware—the city remembers, and every action has its price.
