The Premise of Chocolate Factory Simulator
In Chocolate Factory Simulator, we take control of a steampunk chocolate workshop, where we manufacture all kinds and variations of chocolate for a wide range of customers with the help of our automaton assistant, Nougat.
Gameplay
In Chocolate Factory Simulator, we fulfill customers’ orders by making chocolate. We take orders from a variety of customers, each with a unique personality and preference. For each chocolate creation, we have a recipe we need to follow precisely to complete the order. The recipes include exact measurements and temperatures, and deviating from those will result in failure.
The game introduces the chocolate-making process with steps you need to fulfil. The fundamental model is answering the workshop’s telephone, taking an order, melting raw ingredients, tempering the chocolate, creating a chocolate box, and sending out the order.
As the game progresses, new steps are added, such as unlocking new machines and, of course, maintaining them. To be honest, I was excited at the beginning but grew tired of it very quickly.
One of the problems is that everything is done with the mouse – rotating whisks, tightening screws, and so on. The rotating movement with the mouse was a bit confusing. Also, the gameplay grew tedious at some point- you are doing the same thing repeatedly, with some additional steps.
I admit I haven’t played many simulation games, and maybe that was mostly my problem. I kept expecting a new upgrade or something that would make some part of the chocolate-making process automatic, like in a real factory, but no, new machines are usually just additional steps in the process. Nougat, the automation assistant, is mostly there to make comments and give instructions.
I loved the feel of the game, with its steampunk visuals, and I was definitely a bit sad that I was stuck in a chocolate factory instead of walking outside. The soundtrack, however, was quite annoying for me.
In terms of performance, I didn’t experience any bugs or freezes.
Most of my gripes with Chocolate Factory Simulator probably stem from my inexperience with the genre. The game does what it sets out to do – allow you to make chocolate. So, if you like the genre, you might also like this game.
Some Other Things
We have general settings for display, audio, and controls, as well as more extensive video options. Chocolate Factory Simulator has Steam achievements but no trading cards yet. The game’s prologue is free on Steam and can be used as a demo. You can try it out here.
Conclusion
Chocolate Factory Simulator is not without its faults, but if you are curious about the chocolate-making process and love simulator games, you should take a look.
