Turmoil: enjoying when to sell the oil you find

Screenshot of Turmoil (via Steam)
1 / 10

Finding oil is only the beginning: extend pipes, watch prices, and choose when to sell. Reviews enjoy that chain of small decisions. It suits players who want the next plot to run more efficiently and sell more profitably.

What makes it fun

  1. Find oil, lay the pipes

    Once you find an oil pocket, run pipes to it from a rig. Working out where to branch toward other pockets makes the underground layout fun to plan.

  2. Store oil and watch the price

    Sell the oil you pump now, or store it in a silo and wait for the price to rise? The selling price gives you something to watch throughout the dig.

  3. Spend on upgrades or save for shares

    Put drilling profits into upgrades, or save them for town shares? At the share auction, another bidder may buy while you wait for the price to fall, so the decisions continue after the dig.
