Chocolate Factory Simulator

This game is awesome, but not for everyone. You'll enjoy this game if you're the kind of player who loves a hobby, who cherish a game where you can alliviate stress and just do something for the sake of doing. No swords, no spells, no fights. Just a simple toy, where you pretend to own a chocolate factory where you do everything in a artisanal way. It's also a great game to play while talking to friends over Discord (note: the game doesn't offer multiplayer, I mean just talk, relax and play). You character don't run, but I consider the speed he walks to be ok. At first, you'll be doing everything by hand but as you gain reputation (stars) you unlock new machines to help with the process. The pace of this unlocks seems a bit slow, but not excessively, giving a good sense of rewarded progression over time. It's a slow relaxing game and can be viewed as a grind by the most agitated among us, but this "grind" is not hard to go through. Indeed, I consider the quests fun. To make your chocolates, you'll have to weigh precise amounts of ingredients, create the mold which will form your chocolate bar and even its packaging. At the end, you'll watch the box you created with the chocolate inside. Really nice and satisfying. The graphics are good. Since it's a simple game in terms of engine, you'll see photo textures of the ingredients inside containers, but for me that doesn't spoil the fun. Despite of that, the environment textures are good and the ambience in general is a very charming steampunk place. Graphics, for me, are good in general and more than enough to provide that sense of relaxation, magic, and escapism we need. Again, this game is not for the ones always seeking for action. If you tend to enjoy "work games", give this a try. If you like "slow paced" games, like Eurotruck Simulator, House Flipper, Teddy's Haven, or any other game where you just exist in the same place and have fun without competition, I think you should give this little gem of a game a chance. This game is similar to those in rythm, but with a pro here: I consider the game loop to be more interesting than some of them (House Flipper, I'm looking at you). The most stressing part of this game are timed missions (rarer, but pay more in money and reputation - worth the tension)... but if you're smart, there are ways of dealing without even breaking a sweat with the time of these challenges. Recommended.
