Moonshine Inc.

About

Moonshine Inc. lets you run a bootleg alcohol operation in Appalachia using precise distillation formulas. You manage fermentation, stills, and bottling while balancing quality with avoiding law enforcement. Each decision impacts your reputation and survival. The mechanics focus on real-world chemistry for crafting different spirits, requiring players to tweak recipes and optimize production. Success means expanding your operation and outsmarting authorities. The game’s detailed simulation of alcohol production stands out, with players calculating mash ratios and monitoring temperature curves. It released in late 2022 and appears on major consoles and PC. While some find the learning curve steep, others praise its niche appeal and the tension of staying one step ahead of the law. The folksy tone and regional flavor add charm to the illicit business of making likker.

Storyline

We love moonshin’. There ain’t nothin’ better than good booze. In Appalachia, we know it well. We’ve got moonshine in our blood - in the case of some old-timers, maybe even literally. We love to talk about likker, make it, drink it all day long - and we love to share it too! How 'bout that, my gaming friend? What’s your alcohol of choice? Do you maybe know how to make it? The process is a complex one, but with our know-how, we can shed some light on it, if you’d like; a little bit of moonlight - moonshine! - to guide you through the processes of fermentation, distillation, and bottling.
