About This Game

COCOA offers a unique and poignant exploration of contrasting worlds.

In this game, you’ll experience the harsh reality of child labor as Issa and Asante in South Ivory, Africa, navigating the grueling cocoa bean processing routine such as harvesting, breaking, cleaning, and drying, all in point-and-click mini-games. You’ll also evade patrolling guards as you seek an opportunity to escape through stealth and quests.

Conversely, you’ll step into the shoes of a greedy businessman, Mr. Theodore, and his manager, Tom. Manage a luxurious chocolate factory, expanding operations and upgrading machinery in a management tycoon experience that feels corporately addicting.

This dark RPG intertwines these contrasting experiences, leading to a powerful and unsettling conclusion that highlights themes of greed and human value.

Features

  • Filled with many hand-drawn, 90s anime-like cutscenes
  • An intense and raw storyline that will leave you on edge every second you play

Child Laborer:
  • Explore a dark, maze-like jungle filled with many secret areas
  • Stay away from guards who patrol and scan the map to track you down by running away or hiding in a bush
  • Complete day-to-day cocoa processing tasks in a point-and-click mini-game. Don’t be late, and make sure to hit today’s goals!
  • Talk with a variety of NPCs that could help you escape the labor camp

Chocolate Factory:
  • Place conveyor belts and machines to create the most efficient system for your chocolate factory
  • Upgrade your factory: Replace workers with machines, improve efficiency, and expand your factory’s space

While the game delves into serious topics, its ultimate goal is to promote awareness and empathy towards child labor exploitation in commercial industries. We DO NOT intend to promote or make light of the subjects presented in this game.
