About
Consumption Line is a short, 100% free, experimental indie game about food systems, industrial production, deceptive advertising, and the erosion of meaning in a world obsessed with efficiency. You play as a factory worker operating two machines: one for broth, one for noodles. Your job is simple: meet your daily quota, follow the recipe, don't ask questions.
At first, it feels almost cozy. But as days pass, ingredients change. Machines get faster. Expectations rise. And something about the soup... feels slightly off.
Short and focused. Playable in one sitting (approx. 30 minutes).
Assembly-line gameplay that evolves each day.
No game over states, no collectibles, no grind. Just play and think.
Unlimited soup!
This is not a traditional game. There are no skill trees, boss fights, or deep systems. It's a tightly scoped, 30-minute experience meant to invite reflection. Over the course of five in-game days, your routine remains the same: leave your flat, take the subway, arrive at the production line, hit your quota, go home... Yet there are some changes, some funny and some bleak, that reveal issues in the world around you.
Consumption Line is 100% free and also ad-free. It was created as a personal, 'artsy' project to explore our relationship with ultra-processed foods, misleading marketing, and the ruthlessness of capitalism.

Sjovt lille game.
It was entertaining and the message was nicely canned.

O jogo retrata a obsolescência da mão de obra humana diante de uma indústria obcecada por produtividade e redução de custos. Como o jogo é sobre a indústria alimentícia, mostra como dão um jeito de substituir alimentos genuínos por misturas, aromas artificiais e alimentos laboratoriais.
Really interesting game, the vibe is perfect, reminded me of "Little Inferno". At the end I was really sad because of the story but the final is perfect!
[h1]Summary[/h1] Short free satirical commentary to the general trend of company culture that focus on metrics and profit. [b]Pros[/b] + Important messaging + Fun & challenging [b]Cons[/b] - Too short [h1]Overview[/h1] Consumption Line is a short satirical commentary on the general trend that continues to happen around the world, how workers and consumers are effected by the decisions made by the management of companies that are shortsighted focusing only on profits and metrics. Gameplay is very simple as you only need to properly drag and drop ingredients into the proper machines in a timely manner to allow them enough time to work, the assembly line will do the rest to hit your expected daily quota. This is essentially the basic gameplay loop that ramps in difficulty as you go along. Achievements are mostly easy but there are some that require a little more effort and thought to get and a few secret ones.

Splendida idea ed un messaggio chiaro. Complimenti agli sviluppatori.

A short and witty commentary on the enshittification of modern food. Have you checked out the differences between US and European McDonald's ingredients? https://i.imgur.com/avbzAkJ.png
Quick, cute, and funny. Love the little detail of the ad sign changing with every level. Honestly wished there was a couple more levels because I got into a good groove but it's also great just as it is. Great if you want a game to just sit down and escape for a little while without too much thinking involved.
