Cheeseonomics Deluxe

Cheeseonomics Deluxe is a simulation game about designing cheese-making contraptions and managing their profits. You build Rube-Goldberg-style factories and calculate their output to keep profits between a government-set minimum and maximum. Consumable memos let you change the game’s rules, helping a factory that would otherwise fail meet its target.

Campaign

The campaign teaches you the game’s systems and how to use memos to your advantage through a story about middle and upper management. Its characters include the elderly founder of Big Cheese Corp, the Big Cheese, and experienced middle manager Ricky Romano, who may also be a criminal mastermind. You test your skills against the company computer, RAM-SAY, and may get the chance to demonstrate them to the mysterious CEO, the Big Milk Himself. The campaign features CD-audio voice acting.

Main mode

Main Mode generates a work-week at random. You design contraptions over seven days, and failing too often sends you back to your office to pack up your belongings. If you make it through the week, you can work overtime and see how long you can keep the business from running into the ground.

Scenario editor

The Scenario Editor lets you create challenges or build absurd contraptions and devices.
