Lazy Witch's Factory is in Steam Early Access as of August 21, 2026, priced at 1,870 yen with a 10% launch discount until September 4. The game is developed by Meltclock and published by Phoenixx, featuring a lazy witch protagonist voiced by Misato Fukuen.
Lazy Witch's Factory, a roguelite factory builder from developer Meltclock and publisher Phoenixx, has moved through a demo and crowdfunding campaign into Steam Early Access. The demo launched on June 11, 2026, ahead of Steam Next Fest, and introduced the premise: players control Momoko, a lazy witch tricked by a demon into a massive debt she must repay within 30 minutes by automating a factory with cute familiars like mining goblins and blacksmith salamanders.
Crowdfunding shaped the game's content. A CAMPFIRE campaign in May 2026 raised 2,695,558 yen, exceeding the 1,000,000 yen target by 269%. That success unlocked two high-difficulty modes not in the original plan: Disaster Response Missions and Taxation of the Factory by Chancellor Gehenna, the latter also described as taxation by Archduke Gehenna. The final stretch goal reached 269% of target, and the early access version includes these modes.
The game entered Early Access on Steam on August 21, 2026, at 1,870 yen with a 10% discount until September 4. At launch it offers dozens of hours of content, with at least six months of planned updates before full release. Collaboration bundles with two other roguelite titles, Drunken Rogue and the End Vampire and Menherarium, extend the release. A promotional campaign on X gives away autographed color papers by Misato Fukuen, who voices Momoko, to three winners until September 4.

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.
