Beer Factory

Beer Factory is a simulation game, letting players run their own brewery. It was developed by an indie studio AKEL, published by CreativeForge Games and PlayWay.

Mechanics

Beer Factory is a first-person game. The player must run a business, transforming a small, barely functioning brewery into the titular beer factory. Initially, the entire brewing process must be done manually. We must acquire resources, store them, arrange them on the production line, clean the grain and brew the beer. Once it's ready, we must bottle and sell it. Earned money can be spent on developing the company.

This includes hiring employees to assist us in the brewing process; we must assign specific duties for them. Over time we also acquire better, more advanced equipment. Machines, such as forklifts, (which can be manually operated and customized) are expensive, but they pay for themselves very quickly.

Nevertheless, we must always be vigilant, as an expanding business means higher costs due to wages and taxes.

Technical aspects

Beer Factory features mediocre graphics that fulfill their purpose, but aren't much to look at.
