The gameplay is a mix of engaging factory management and moral dilemmas, infused with dark humor and quirky characters, reminiscent of titles like "Papers, Please."

“You'll juggle moral dilemmas, manage resources, and oversee a quirky cast of characters, all while keeping the factory running smoothly and ensuring that everyone gets their 'just desserts.'

“Mechanics are easy to grasp, gameplay is fun, and the writing is hilarious.”
“Very rewarding gameplay loop that's easy to pick up and hard to put down, but again, not much going on past a certain day marker.”
“Gameplay is repetitive and not very deep; quite shallow, so I wouldn't really compare it to 'Papers, Please' in this respect.”
