First of all: thank you for following the project, wishlisting it, and keeping an eye on this strange little highway operation. Tomorrow the gates open.
Tollway Tycoon is a management sim about running a toll plaza on a cursed road. Your job is simple in theory: hire staff, expand your booths, manage traffic flow, keep the money coming in, and stop the whole thing from descending into roadside chaos.
In practice, things get a little messier.
At launch in Early Access, you can expect:
A full, enjoyable and chaotic play-through to the final day (Day 20!)
Fully functional core game systems - Staff management, Upgrades, Progression, Operational Issues, Crazy events and unhinged drivers.
A good amount of humour, fun and questionable events
What makes the game fun is the decision to manage the tollway as efficiently as possible whilst the world seems to be falling apart around your operation. All under the direction of a demanding and authoritative HQ who seem to be impossible to please.
Things can turn very quickly, from a bright and sunny day with perfect traffic flow - to a tornado tearing your traffic to pieces and making drivers concerned about their safety. Or strange paranormal events such as Ghosts and Zombies ruining your drivers day.
Why you should enjoy the Early Access experience:
I'll be listening directly to player feedback, I'm planning frequent content updates through themed patches (as well as bug fixes for these!).
By joining in the Early Access experience and giving feedback, you can help to shape this game and build it into something even greater than it already is. Even just by playing the game I can understand how players are interacting with the systems and improve them further.
The planned roadmap contains a list of features as long as your arm, with updates ranging from Paranormal Packs, Night Shift, Civil Unrest and Infrastructure.
Lastly, for the players already wishlisted and the ones looking at this game.
If you decide to jump in at launch, thank you. I’ll be watching feedback closely and continuing to improve the game throughout Early Access.
See you on the highway on April 30, 2026.
