Manage a crumbling factory and keep orders rolling in this indie co-op game from Little Bird Studios. In HAM, your success hinges on teamwork as you navigate corporate mayhem together.
About this game
Team up with friends to fulfill an endless stream of HAM orders in a chaotic co-op game for you and your friends (or foes). Take the role of either manager or staff, where you start as a small factory and watch your operation spiral into beautiful chaos as demand skyrockets and your machines go from prime cut to scrap faster than you can say “smoked.”
WORK TOGETHER (OR FALL APART)
You'll need to coordinate with your team to survive the escalating chaos. Load HAM onto containers, operate conveyor belts, and rush to repair broken equipment while the clock ticks down. But watch out - at the end of each day, you can vote to replace your manager if they've been doing a terrible job!
MANAGE THE CHAOS
Navigate an ever-changing factory floor where conveyor belts break down, ham hoppers overflow, and delivery vans won't wait forever (Well, some of them!). Each day brings new tools to help you meet your quotas - if you can figure out how to use them before everything explodes into a full-blown HAM-tastrophe.
SURVIVE THE CORPORATE GRIND
Waste a glorious HAM container, get told off and see your daily profits fall to the bottom. Damaged, wasted products, and inefficient operations all eat into your bottom line. Can you balance speed with safety, or will corporate ambition be your downfall?
A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY DAY
Each day cranks up the pressure cooker with more orders, tighter deadlines, and new equipment to master. Start with a few orders a day and work your way up to managing more and more orders simultaneously across multiple loading bays.
DEMOCRACY IN ACTION
At the end of each shift, vote on whether to keep your current manager or promote someone new. The manager controls the hoppers, conveyor belts, and communication systems from their office while workers handle the physical labor. Will you be a beloved leader or get canned and smoked out of office?
INTO INFINITY AND BEYOND
The orders just never stop coming. HAM isn’t only about winning — it’s about seeing how long you can keep this hog-wild production line from collapsing into pulled pork. How many days before your corporate dreams get glazed and spiral-cut?
