Immortality Factory

About Immortality Factory

Immortality Factory is a pixel-art simulation game where you build and automate a factory to craft magical components. Developed by Obsidian Grove, it released on September 14 2025 for PC and web. The story follows a shunned wizard who starts from scratch in a cursed valley, using a recipe book to create tools and expand operations. The game blends idle progression with manual planning, players arrange conveyor belts, upgrade machines, and unlock recipes to boost production. It’s a slow-burn build-up focused on efficiency, with pixelated visuals and a focus on incremental upgrades. Best for fans of methodical management games who enjoy watching systems scale over time.

Gameplay

You start by placing basic crafting stations and gathering resources, then gradually add machines like smelters and assemblers. Each new recipe requires specific inputs, forcing you to optimize production chains. Early sessions involve manual placement and tweaking, but automation takes over as conveyor belts and storage units reduce micromanagement. Idle progression lets you step away while factories run, though upgrades and new blueprints require periodic checks. The pixel-art interface feels tactile, with color-coded machines and a top-down view. Controls are straightforward, right-click to build, drag to connect. Later, you’ll balance energy consumption and output rates, ensuring no bottlenecks. The single-player mode focuses purely on self-improvement, with no multiplayer or time pressure.

What Players Think

PlayPile users rate it 85% with an average playtime of 6.5 hours. 42% complete the full recipe tree, while 68% finish the base game. Community moods lean “calm” (72%) and “focused” (58%), though 23% call it “slow.” Critics praise its “relaxing loop of planning and scaling” (Eurogamer) but note repetitive late-game tasks (PC Gamer). The 20 achievements (400 points) track milestones like unlocking rare machines. 89% of players hit the first major upgrade within 2 hours, but only 17% reach the final recipe without hitting a plateau. Price remains a talking point, $19.99 feels low for the depth but high for idle fans expecting a quick purchase.

PlayPile's Take

Immortality Factory works best as a casual companion game. The $19.99 price matches its mid-length experience, offering 10, 15 hours of setup and optimization. Achievements add replayability but aren’t mandatory. Fans of games like Factorio or Stardew Valley will appreciate the tactile build process, though the lack of complexity beyond recipe trees limits long-term engagement. Skip if you crave action or rapid progression. For relaxing afternoons and pixel-art purists, it’s a solid pick. The community’s calm reception suggests it’s more “soothing simulator” than “impressive.”
