Winky!: Find the Golden Ticket

Until then, every bar without a ticket is still chocolate. Tear it open, peel off the Winky paper, wrap the chocolate in your own brand (Wonko!), box it six to a box, and sell it. Then do it again. Then pay somebody else to do it. Then build a machine that does it a thousand times faster.

Winky! is a first-person factory builder that starts with one kid at one table and ends in a roaring factory, alone or with up to three friends.

Open it by hand. At your work table every Winky is opened the long way: grab, tear, peel, unfold the foil, check for the ticket, wrap the chocolate as a Wonko!, pack the box. Hand the full box to a courier, and they come back with your money.

Hire a crew. Workers at benches open bars for you, runners keep their trays full, couriers carry the boxes out, and drivers take the diggers and forklifts. Run them all from your tablet: stop them, send them outside, put them back to work.

Build the line. Knock through the walls and lay out a real production line, wherever you want it: hopper, cutter, ticket scanner, separator and shredder, Wonko! wrapper, packer and palletiser, joined by belts, splitters and mergers. Place it, turn it, copy a whole line and paste it next to the first.

Feed it and ship it. Diggers scoop the Winky mountain into the hoppers, forklifts carry full pallets to the trucks at the docks, and every truck that comes back pays for the whole load.

Find the ticket. There is one ticket in the whole heap. When it turns up, everything stops.

Every factory needs a break. Put up a ping-pong table, air hockey, billiards, blackjack, draw poker, a bowling lane and an eight-hole mini golf anywhere on the floor, and play against the house or your friends: up to four at the poker table, the bowling lane and the mini golf.

Invite up to three friends into your factory through Steam. Open bars side by side, drive the diggers, haul the pallets and hunt the ticket together. The factory, the money and the save belong to the host.

• A factory that grows from one table to a full production hall and a shipping bay with three truck docks.

• Every bar is the real thing: the same Winky you open at your table rides the belts, the wrappers and the boxes.

• Five kinds of staff (workers, runners, couriers, digger drivers and forklift drivers), managed from an in-game tablet.

• A free-placement constructor: machines, belts, splitters and mergers anywhere on the grid, with copy, paste, duplicate and undo.

• Drive the diggers and forklifts yourself, or hire someone to.

• Mini robots that carry full pallets to the trucks by themselves, and Winky grabbers that keep the hoppers fed.

• Couriers, a delivery van and trucks to ship your Wonko! boxes, each paying on its return.

• Upgrades for faster hands, faster rounds, bigger arms, faster lines, turbo forklifts and diggers, and more.

• A games room for the breaks: ping-pong, air hockey, billiards, blackjack, draw poker, bowling and mini golf, against the house or your friends.

• Online co-op for up to four players through Steam invites.

• Day and night over the factory, three save slots, and menus in nine languages.

• Full controller support, rebindable keyboard and mouse, and settings for quality, shadows, render scale, frame rate, field of view and interface size.
