Industrialist and fans of factory builders and/or automation games, here’s a new flavour for your favourite treat. Indie developer Tbjbu2 revealed their next game, Chocolate Factory, and it’s exactly what the name says.
But what you might not expect is that is a first-person factory builder that is strongly inspired by Satisfactory.
Chocolate Factory has you build factories to produce sugary sweet delectables in bright land where giant candy canes sprout from the ground and fauna such as cookie monsters and gingerbread men roam free. You can hand-mine resources, but the real game starts when you construct various machinery and start connecting conveyor belts.
Yes, Chocolate Factory has conveyor belts, and it’s of the Satisfactory variety where it can be connected free-hand, split and merge using a cube. There are jetpacks. And guns.
Chocolate Factory also allows you to construct castles, and there pre-made buildings you can plop as well to save time (or don’t want to build everything from the ground-up). Like many factory builders, the main reason why the factory must grow is to keep unlocking stuff on the tech tree, which Chocolate Factory will also have.
Chocolate Factory will launch a prologue, a taster of the full dish, on May 22 on Steam. It’s a free sample, so curious fans can take a nibble and see if this sweet new indie game is for them.
Chocolate Factory is slated to release sometime in summer (Q3) 2024 for PC (Steam).
