Our take on SweatShop
The defining structure is an incremental loop: hire workers, sell clothing products, reinvest earnings in upgrades, and expand the workspace to support further growth.
What is SweatShop?
SweatShop is an incremental management game set around a clothing-production business.
Players begin with a small workshop, recruit staff, and sell manufactured goods to generate income. Earnings can fund improvements for workers and allow the business to grow. Expansion adds workspace and creates room for additional employees, extending the production cycle. The game also includes collectible bonuses that can be caught during play. Its structure centers on repeating the process of staffing, selling, upgrading, and expanding to increase earnings. The Steam version includes 53 achievements.
