Moonshine Inc. Is another simulation game that has been added to the ever so growing list of simulating games. From Truck simulation, flight simulator, or even coffee simulator and of course can't forget the OG like the Sims and city builders. This time around Moonshine Inc. is a simulation game that teaches you the entire way of crafting and selling alcohol while avoiding the police. Granted this game takes place in that time period where alcohol and selling it illegally was a no-no and even speakeasy's. This Review is my first couple of hours of Experiencing the game.
Moonshine inc puts you right in the belly of the moonshining business. So what is moonshine inc, you get to play a story-rich management game focused on crafting moonshine, brandy, whisky, and vodka. You’ll ferment, distill, then name your booze how you want it. Whilst doing all of this you'll have to avoid legal troubles at every corner while trying to keep your business booming. The game starts you right at the beginning and it'll give you massive tutorial on how to live your life selling and crafting illegal moonshine.
Moonshine Inc. will give you the an intriguing moonshining experience - just like if you were brewing your own illegal hooch in the plains of 1919 middle America. You'll likely be able to brew your own moonshine at home after a few hours with this game, as the strategy management sim is incredibly involved, teaching you everything you need to know about fermentation and distillation - which uses the exact formulas you'd need IRL. I actually had to do my research to realize that these were some legit ways of making alcohol back in the day.
Essentially your job is to make the best alcohol in your area and whilst doing so you avoid the cops. I find the most intriguing bit of gameplay which majority of players will be part of most of the time is the actual brewing the alcohol and try to make sure the recipe is at least an 100 percent match to the original recipe. This part of the gameplay would be the most time consuming specifically if your a perfectionist and you want the alcohol to be right especially the Ethanol percent levels. I had the worst time trying to get the ethanol levels to the recommended percent early on but i noticed that early on its best just to get the alcohol made and over time your better off just shilling out moonshine till you're upgraded enough.
Next biggest part of the gameplay is the map where most of the story takes place. Since you have to become this massive overlord for moonshine you have to ship out your booze. You can also pick up ingredients from the store but be wary the more locations you bring booze too the more the cops will get involved with your little business. Moonshine Inc. is a good game if alcohol business is something that intrigues you. This is a full on sim crafting game so all of the techniques are legit ways to help anyone who wants to do it for real
