The automation management simulation game 'Smart Factory Tycoon' has kicked off a limited-time free giveaway on Steam. Usually priced at 16,500 won, you can now claim it for your library permanently if you act before 3:00 AM on the 21st (KST).

First released in March 2022, Smart Factory Tycoon tasks you with running a factory powered by robots, all in the pursuit of building a corporate empire. You will manage everything from the layout of your production lines to the manufacturing and shipping of products.

The heart of the operation lies in building an efficient automation system. Once you have placed your machines and deployed your robots, the production line runs automatically. You can invest skill points into your robots to boost their speed or efficiency, and installing chargers and lubricant dispensers is a great way to keep things running smoothly. You will also need to keep an eye on market trends to ensure you are producing what is in demand.

Reinvesting your profits is key to scaling up your business. You can research technology to upgrade facilities or install solar panels and wind turbines to cut electricity costs. As your business grows, you will unlock logistics options like trains, ships, and aircraft to ramp up your delivery capacity. Meticulous financial management is essential to avoid bankruptcy.

The game supports a Korean interface, subtitles, and voice acting. The overall user sentiment on Steam is 'Mixed' (68% positive).
