Lazy Witch's Factory

Lazy Witch's Factory is a run-based roguelite factory builder. You play as Momoko, who signed up for “passive income” and ended up buried in debt. In each 30-minute shift, you build a factory, produce and sell goods, make deals with demons and try to repay the debt before the deadline. When a shift ends, everything resets except what you have learned.

Run the factory

You mine resources, turn them into products and sell them to pay off your debt, but production alone is not enough. Contracts with demons let you alter recipes, transform iron ore into gems or create cash. You have limited time and resources, and can use makeshift production lines and stopgap fixes. Each run offers randomized options, and you improve by choosing contracts suited to the situation and building stronger synergies.

Manage your workers

Your workers are generally unmotivated and candid about what they want. Whether they work properly depends on how you manage them. Salamanders treat blacksmithing like a workout, while Slimes enjoy the pain of distillation and would rather make it last longer.

Deal with demons

In this version of Hell, eternal life began as a punishment for sinners. Manager Gehenna saw it as a solution to the overtime problem, leaving Momoko in a punishing work environment. Some demons, however, are willing to help with factory operations, each in their own questionable way.

• Leviathan: the researcher can improve productivity through experiments, but this contaminates Hell's water supply.
• Mammon: the head of the infernal bank can resolve cash-flow problems, though the source of the money is left unexplained.

Different combinations of sponsor characters support varied strategies. The game also features cute characters and sarcastic humor.
