Turmoil

Turmoil is a simulation game set during the 19th-century oil rush in North America. You build a career as an oil entrepreneur, digging up and selling oil while the town grows alongside you. In the campaign, you work your way from rags to riches and compete with rivals.

Find and sell oil

Lease land at the town auction and search for oil with a dowser, mole or scanner. Build a rig, lay out an efficient pipe network and bring oil up to store in silos. Sell it when prices are favorable, and use natural gas to raise the oil price and increase your profits.

Rock, gas and ice can hinder your operations, so buy essential upgrades and tools in town. The game includes dozens of upgrades and new tools for improving your oil mining.

Build your standing

Meet the town’s characters in the saloon and make shady business deals. Bid against competitors at the stock auction, and acquire more town shares than they do to try to become mayor.

Game modes

The single-game mode gives you one of literally millions of procedurally generated levels. Work to earn as much as you can in one year. You can also take on computer opponents or play online multiplayer matches against friends or random opponents.
