Lazy Witch's Factory is in Steam Early Access, which began on August 21, 2026. Developer Melt Clock, working as a sole developer, has outlined plans to release separate initiatives for beginners, intermediate players, and advanced players.
Lazy Witch's Factory arrived on Steam Early Access on August 21, 2026, after a demo period that ran from June 11 until Early Access began. The demo introduced Momoko, the lazy witch voiced by Misato Fukuen, and was timed ahead of Steam Next Fest, which ran June 16 to 23. Publisher Phoenixx and developer Melt Clock built the game around a 30-minute time limit: Momoko is tricked by a demon into a huge debt and must automate a factory in hell with familiars including mining goblins and blacksmith salamanders to repay it.
Before launch, a CAMPFIRE crowdfunding campaign in May 2026 raised 2,695,558 yen against a 1,000,000 yen target, reaching 269 percent. The stretch goals added two high-difficulty modes, Disaster Response Missions and Taxation of the Factory by Chancellor Gehenna. At launch, the Early Access version included collaboration bundles with two other roguelite titles, Drunken Rogue and the End Vampire and Menherarium. The launch price was 1,870 yen with a 10 percent discount through September 4.
By October, Matsumaru, the sole developer behind Melt Clock, told Game Spark the studio wants to release initiatives aimed separately at beginners, intermediate players, and advanced players. The game still sells for 1,870 yen, discounted to 1,683 yen until October 9. The Early Access version offers dozens of hours of content, with at least six months of planned updates before full release.

Phoenixx released the early access version of Lazy Witch's Factory, a roguelite factory builder developed by Meltclock, on Steam on August 21, 2026. The game is priced at 1,870 yen, with a 10% launch discount running until September 4. Players control Momoko, a lazy witch who is tricked by a demon into accumulating a massive debt and must repay it by automating a factory with the help of cute familiars. Mining goblins gather resources, blacksmith salamanders craft items, and players fulfill orders to earn funds. To succeed within the 30-minute time limit, players must make contracts with demons to gain skills and buffs, some of which are risky, such as forcing employees to work or counterfeiting money. The game also reached 269% of its crowdfunding goal, which unlocked a new high-difficulty mode featuring disaster response missions and taxation by Archduke Gehenna. A campaign on X gives away autographed color papers by Misato Fukuen, who voices Momoko, to three winners until September 4.
Publisher Phoenixx announced on August 4 that the roguelite factory builder Lazy Witch's Factory, developed by Melt Clock, will launch in Early Access on Steam on August 21. The price is undecided. The game follows Momoko, a lazy witch voiced by Misato Fukuen, who is tricked by a demon into taking on a huge debt. Players build automated factories in hell using familiars such as mining goblins and blacksmith salamanders to produce goods and repay the debt within a 30-minute time limit. Roguelite elements mean each run offers different circumstances and random enhancement options. Players can also contract with sponsor company demons to gain skills and buffs, including dark options like forced labor or counterfeiting money. A crowdfunding campaign on CAMPFIRE in May 2026 raised 2,695,558 yen, exceeding the 1,000,000 yen target by 269%. Stretch goal achievements added two new high-difficulty modes: Disaster Response Missions and Taxation of the Factory by Chancellor Gehenna. A demo with new elements, including Momoko's voice, is available now and will be taken down when Early Access begins. At launch, the game will offer dozens of hours of content, with at least six months of planned updates before full release.
