Consumption Line

Consumption Line is a short, experimental game about food systems, industrial production, deceptive advertising and the erosion of meaning in a world focused on efficiency. Over five in-game days, you play a factory worker at the KindBroth® soup factory, operating one machine for broth and another for noodles. You leave your flat, take the subway to work, follow recipes and meet your daily quota, then go home.

The production line

The routine stays the same, but the ingredients change, the machines speed up and expectations rise. As the days pass, something about the soup begins to feel off. The changes are sometimes funny and sometimes bleak, and reveal issues in the world around you.

The assembly-line gameplay evolves each day. The experience takes about 30 minutes and is designed to be played in one sitting. There are no game-over states, collectibles or grind, and the soup supply is unlimited.
