What is Widget Inc.?

This top-down incremental factory builder takes place after humanity's collapse. You make widgets by hand, automate production, arrange machines around the terrain, and research successive technology tiers to build a rocket.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy optimizing machine placement and resource production
  • +you like gradually automating manual crafting tasks
  • +you prefer low-pressure, number-driven progression

Not for you if...

  • −you expect complex logistics from a factory automation game
  • −you dislike waiting as production costs climb through later tiers
  • −you want each new tier to change the gameplay substantially

What players say

85% of 786 reviews are positive

Players praise the progression and the puzzle of arranging machines to improve production. The most common complaint is that rising costs make later tiers slow and repetitive, with little new to do after the first run. Some players also report serious bugs, including save failures.
