Game Summary

Tollway Tycoon is a chaotic little management sim about running the least glamorous part of the transport network: a toll plaza on a very cursed stretch of highway. You’re in charge of everything the drivers never think about – staffing booths, keeping the road drivable, dealing with breakdowns, repairing potholes, cleaning up after “incidents”, and trying desperately to keep the cars (mostly) flowing and the money (definitely) flowing. On paper it’s simple: hire workers, assign them to booths, upgrade your HQ and squeeze a bit more revenue out of each lane. In reality? Cars catch fire, craters open in the asphalt, UFO abductions, zombies, prostestors trying to shutdown your operation and general insanity which keeps your team one step behind the chaos. Every day (and night) you will be given a fresh challenge to put a twist on things, but this does not slow down the other chaotic events which happen. Even a driver having a bad day can throw your operations completely out and risk bankruptcy. Tollway Tycoon is about that sweet spot between efficiency and disaster: the satisfaction of a perfectly flowing operation, then the dark comedy when it all goes completely off the rails.
