Do you have what it takes to be the next oil baron? Tongue-in-cheek oil boom simulator “Turmoil” is now available on Steam!

Press release:
Haarlem, the Netherlands – 2 June 2016 – Gamious today announced that Turmoil, its tongue-in-cheek oil boom simulator, is now available on Steam. Turmoil, a simulation game set during the 19th century oil rush in North America, spent a year spent in Early Access and received numerous content updates. As of today the game is finally available for everyone at $9,99/€9,99/£6,99, with a week-long launch discount of 10%

“Turmoil has come a long way since we first made it available through Early Access,” said Jos Bouman, Creative Director of Gamious. “It has become a deeper and richer game through each of its player-feedback-inspired updates, and I dare say we would not have been able to do this just by ourselves. We look forward to developing and fine-tuning more of our games with the help of our fantastic fan base.”

Turmoil is a simulation game set during the 19th century oil rush in North America, in which players earn money by prospecting for oil and setting up efficient pipe networks to excavate the oil. As the mining seasons float by, the town goes through different stages of growth, and new upgrades as well as alluring new territories with oil-rich grounds become available. When players become wealthy enough they can even acquire town shares in a bid to beat out competitors to become the town’s next mayor.

Turmoil offers a rich single player campaign featuring dozens of upgrades and new technology to improve mining operations, as well as colourful characters that bring the game’s world to life with their welcoming and helpful chit-chat. The game also features Steam Achievements, Badges, Trading Cards and Cloud Saving.
