About the Game

One Shift. One Factory. One Impossible Deadline.

『Lazy Witch’s Factory』 is a run-based rogue-lite factory builder.

You have only a short time to build a factory, make deals with demons, and repay a ridiculous amount of debt.

No time to take it easy.

Make the most of your limited time and resources.

Spaghetti lines and stopgap fixes are allowed.

If you fail to repay your debt before the deadline, you'll...

Actually, never mind.

Contracts Solve Everything (For a While)

Mine resources. Turn them into products. Sell them to pay off your debt.

Unfortunately, that won't be nearly enough. Make contracts with demons.

Short on raw materials? Rewrite the recipe.

Got too much iron ore? Transform it into a gem.

Short on cash? Just make some.

When your shift ends, everything resets. Except what you learned.

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

Middle management in hell is hell itself.

You play as Momoko, who signed up for “passive income” and ended up buried in debt.

Your workers are generally unmotivated and completely honest about their desires.

Whether they can be made to work properly depends entirely on how you manage them.

  • Salamanders seem to think blacksmithing is part of a workout routine.

  • Slimes enjoy the pain produced by distillation a little too much, and would rather make it last longer.

Eternal Life, Infinite Overtime

In the beginning, eternal life was the punishment cast upon sinners.

The manager Gehenna thought:

“Wonderful. This solves the overtime problem.”

You were cast down into a truly hellish work environment.

Still, not every demon in Hell wants to make your life worse.

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

  • Leviathan, a researcher, can greatly improve productivity through experimentation. As a side effect, Hell's entire water supply becomes contaminated.

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

Welcome to hell. Please clock in.
