Cliffski's Blog announces that Big Pharma is now on sale through its official website, offering the chance to play the beta version of this strategy game developed by Twice Circled and published by Positech. Those who make this advance commitment will also receive a Steam key when they are available. Here's a beta release trailer offering a look at the game, this page offers details on the game and plans to expand the content in the beta going forward. Here's a description:

What if you had it in your power to rid the world of disease, to improve the lives of millions, to ease suffering and cure the sick… and earn a tidy profit?

As the head of your own Pharmaceutical Conglomerate you have this power resting in your hands. Will you use it for good? Being totally altruistic may not be the best business plan. The uncomfortable truth (is there an ointment for that?) is that some remedies are more profitable than others and illness is good for business.

Welcome to the world of Big Pharma!
