Description

Short: Brew it, bottle it, and haul it by truck, boat and plane before the revenue men catch you.

Long: Volstead is a one to four player co-op sandbox set on a fictional Great Lakes archipelago where Prohibition never ended. Your crew runs a bootleg operation end to end: distilling and bottling at the base, loading cargo, then making the run by truck, boat or floatplane while revenue patrols, rival crews, weather and spoilage push back. Every success draws more attention, so the game never settles into a solved state. Crossplay between Epic Games Store and Steam, full controller support, and a solo mode with hireable NPC hands.

Key features

• A full production-to-delivery loop: brew, bottle, load, run, sell, upgrade.
• Trucks, boats and floatplanes, with the best choice changing by season.
• Four crew roles (Distiller, Quartermaster, Captain, Lookout) that any player can swap between.
• Join by six-character code or Epic and Steam invites, with the host's save carrying the whole crew.
• Pressure that scales with crew size, from solo to four players.
