Meet the gamers who are obsessed with the daily lives of NPCs in Schedule I, a game where you simulate running an illicit business. They’re not just playing to win, but to understand the stories behind the characters they interact with.
One player, _inferno_44, took it to the extreme by following an NPC named Kyle for an entire week. Kyle’s daily routine was shocking – he worked two shifts at Taco Ticklers, a fictional restaurant, and spent his break skateboarding. His schedule looked like this:
- 7 am – 12 pm: Work at Taco Ticklers
- 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm: Take a break at the skateboard park
- 1:30 pm – 10 pm: Work at Taco Ticklers again
- 10 pm – 4 am: Relax at home
Players are amused by how dedicated Kyle is to his job, and it’s no wonder he’s a top employee. What’s even funnier is that no one else in the game seems to work at Taco Ticklers, making Kyle a bit of a mysterious character.
_inferno_44’s experiment showed that NPCs in Schedule I have more complex lives than you’d think. Some even spend their days playing video games in internet cafes. The game’s community has been having a blast sharing their discoveries and stories about the NPCs.
If you’re curious about the secret lives of NPCs, you can try Schedule I, now available on PC in Early Access. Who knows what stories you’ll uncover?
