Chocolatier

   Tycoon game. All chocolate lovers, attention! Try Chocolatier that offers you to run your own chocolate empire, which impresses the world by its delicious taste. You play as a promising chocolate baron who gets to travel around the world collecting exotic ingredients, turning them into delectable treats, and then selling the chocolate creations at local boutiques. The captivating story invites you to restore the glory of the tarnished Baumeister chocolate empire, which, thanks to a generation of family feuds and mismanagement, is now a shadow of its former self. You begin in San Francisco, where you create a name and customized logo for your business. Then, Evangeline Baumeister introduces you to the art of chocolate making based on the recipes of her ancestors. You'll start with only one factory and a handful of recipes, which are all that remain of the Baumeister fortune. It's up to you to make some cash, re-open the factories, and most importantly hunt down all the lost family recipes. In short, Chocolatier is all about buying and selling. You visit exotic locations like Quito, Rio de Janeiro, London, Accra, Sydney and Hong Kong buying up the best ingredients, selling your finished wares, and chatting with people for any leads on new recipes. As you get richer, you'll be able to buy up new factories to increase your production, and upgrades the factories so that they can produce more complicated kinds of chocolates like squares, truffles and infusions.

   Chocolatier is a captivating game that features colorful detailed graphics, diverse sound effects and pleasant instrumental music. Let me tell few words about several original twists that are worth mentioning. First of all it is factory's efficiency that is set by playing mini-game, where you have to "shoot" the correct ingredients into trays that rotate around on a machine. The goal is to correctly fill as many trays as possible in the time limit. Another interesting moment is visiting the various markets, saloons and points of interest in each port and talking to the locals, many of whom might have a new recipe or two that they're willing to share for the right price, or if you're willing to do something for them in return. You can try bargaining with merchants to get better prices for ingredients, which sometimes works and sometimes backfires and causes them to get angry and raise their prices even higher. All in all, Chocolatier is the promising game that delivers hours of fun for gamers looking to stretch their brains and indulge their virtual sweet-tooth at the same time
