About the Game<\/h1>

One Shift. One Factory. One Impossible Deadline.<\/strong><\/h2>

『Lazy Witch’s Factory』 is a run-based rogue-lite factory builder.<\/strong><\/p>

You have only a short time to build a factory, make deals with demons, and repay a ridiculous<\/strong> amount of debt.<\/p>

<\/p>

No time to take it easy.<\/p>

Make the most of your limited time and resources.<\/p>

Spaghetti lines and stopgap fixes<\/strong> are allowed.<\/p>

<\/p>

If you fail to repay your debt before the deadline, you'll...<\/p>

Actually, never mind.<\/p>

Contracts Solve Everything (For a While)<\/strong><\/h2>

Mine resources. Turn them into products. Sell them to pay off your debt.<\/p>

Unfortunately, that won't be nearly enough. Make contracts with demons<\/strong>.<\/p>

<\/p>

Short on raw materials? Rewrite the recipe.<\/p>

Got too much iron ore? Transform it into a gem.<\/p>

Short on cash? Just make some.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

When your shift ends, everything resets. Except what you learned.<\/p>

With each run, you'll get better at choosing the right contracts for the situation and building smarter synergies.<\/p>

Middle management in hell is hell itself.<\/h2>

You play as Momoko<\/strong>, who signed up for “passive income”<\/strong> and ended up buried in debt.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

Your workers are generally unmotivated and completely honest about their desires.<\/p>

Whether they can be made to work properly depends entirely on how you manage them.<\/p>

<\/p>

  • Salamanders<\/strong> seem to think blacksmithing is part of a workout routine.<\/p><\/li>

  • Slimes<\/strong> enjoy the pain produced by distillation a little too much, and would rather make it last longer.<\/p>

    <\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    <\/span><\/p>

    <\/p>

    Eternal Life, Infinite Overtime<\/h2>

    In the beginning, eternal life<\/strong> was the punishment cast upon sinners.<\/p>

    The manager Gehenna thought:<\/p>

    “Wonderful. This solves the overtime problem.”<\/strong><\/p>

    You were cast down into a truly hellish work environment.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    Still, not every demon in Hell wants to make your life worse.<\/strong><\/p>

    Bored by immortality, the arch-demons now offer their help with your factory operations, each in their own highly questionable way.<\/p>

    • Leviathan<\/strong>, a researcher, can greatly improve productivity through experimentation. As a side effect, Hell's entire water supply becomes contaminated.<\/p><\/li>

    • Mammon<\/strong>, head of the infernal bank, can solve your cash-flow problems. Don't ask where the money came from.<\/p>

      <\/p><\/li><\/ul>

      <\/span><\/p>

      <\/p>

      Welcome to hell. Please clock in.<\/strong><\/p>

      <\/p>

      Game Features<\/h2>

      • A frantic run to pay off your debt within a 30-minute time limit<\/p><\/li>

      • Highly replayable gameplay that inflates production power through factory design skills and randomized options for greater strategic depth.<\/p><\/li>

      • Diverse strategies based on sponsor character combinations<\/p><\/li>

      • Cute characters and sarcastic humor<\/p><\/li><\/ul>","about_the_game":"
