About the Game

The makers of Manufactoria return with a new open-ended puzzle game.



  • Build complex electronics from a variety of simple components, like Adders, Latches and Multiplexers.
  • Travel back to the 60s to Silicon Valley's very first startup, and do your best to keep the whole thing from imploding.
  • Solve more than seventy puzzles, from straightforward introductions to building fully functional CPUs.
  • Original soundtrack by Craig Barnes, composer for Streets of Rogue and Enyo.

"The best game about CPU design that I can imagine​" -- Zach Barth (SpaceChem, TIS-100).
