The operation runs out of a hidden underground hangar. Nobody on the surface knows what goes on below. The goal is to build every side of a criminal empire from that starting point and expand it until the whole city's distribution network answers to you — or until the authorities find the evidence trail.

Dirty Business is a criminal empire management game in which players build and expand an underground criminal operation starting from a single hidden hangar base. Production facilities for multiple criminal enterprises can be constructed and upgraded: drug manufacturing, weapon crafting, counterfeiting and others planned on the roadmap. Workers are hired and assigned to stations, each bringing their own skill sets and cut percentages. Distribution reaches the city above through an expandable gang network. A cartel airstrip facility lets players smuggle high-volume product by plane, with pilot skill stats — stealth level, flight speed and cut percentage — determining mission success. Evidence disposal is a core management concern as police pressure responds to the operation's visibility. The entire management loop is playable solo or in co-op with other players. A free demo and full roadmap were announced in March 2026.
