Summary generated on: January 13, 2025

Chocolate Factory Simulator is a first-person simulation game in which we run the titular factory in a steampunk world. The development of the game was handled by the Polish studio Games Incubator. They are also the creators of Animal Shelter and Pet Shop Simulator.

Gameplay

In Chocolate Factory Simulator we manage a factory whose machinery is powered by steam and a clockwork mechanism. We receive orders for cocoa products from customers with various taste preferences. Rejecting orders may result in lowering our reputation and hinder maintaining a steady clientele.

After accepting the phone order, we can start the production process. Taking into account the exact amount of ingredients, we adjust the default recipe to add special flavors (e.g. coffee or pistachio) according to the customer's wish. We heat and mix the product, then use a special device to shape it into its final form. We finish by decorating our creation with personalized packaging. Most of the gameplay involves skillful mouse movements.

In Chocolate Factory Simulator, apart from producing chocolate, we also take care of the maintenance of each machine we use, which in practice means tightening screws with a wrench from the workshop. In addition, we can expand our factory, unlock new technologies and participate in the ranking for the best brown delicacy factory.

During all of our struggles we are assisted by Nugat, a talking robot.
