COCOA offers a unique and poignant exploration of contrasting worlds.
In this game, you’ll experience the harsh reality of child labor as Issa and Asante in South Ivory, Africa, navigating the grueling cocoa bean processing routine such as harvesting, breaking, cleaning, and drying, all in point-and-click mini-games. You’ll also evade patrolling guards as you seek an opportunity to escape through stealth and quests.
Conversely, you’ll step into the shoes of a greedy businessman, Mr. Theodore, and his manager, Tom. Manage a luxurious chocolate factory, expanding operations and upgrading machinery in a management tycoon experience that feels corporately addicting.
This dark RPG intertwines these contrasting experiences, leading to a powerful and unsettling conclusion that highlights themes of greed and human value.
