Note: some important dates are coming up! A free demo version of Factory Town Idle will launch this April 6 and the retail copy will launch into Early Access on April 20th (expected price is $5 USD). Once it launches as a paid game, the Playtest version will still be playable, but it won't receive further updates. Save files will be compatible across all versions and synced using Steam Cloud, so you won't lose any progress if you switch.
Make sure to Wishlist this game (see button below) if you want to receive a notification when it launches!
