Overview

Fab.exe, released on November 4, 2026, by BT Studio, is a single-player factory-management game that puts you in charge of an aging cleanroom.

Your goal is to turn this outdated facility into a reliable semiconductor fab. It's a game about practical decisions—where to place tools, how to route lots, and what to prioritize when capacity, quality, time, and cash all demand your attention.

Highlights

  • Deep Automation & Base Building: Manage FOUPs moving through the fab on AMHS routes, with queues forming around lithography, etch, deposition, metrology, and packaging. The game emphasizes watching the flow, identifying bottlenecks, and adding matching capacity.
  • Strategic Maintenance & WIP Control: Plan maintenance schedules and keep work-in-progress under control. A busy line isn't always a healthy one—you'll need to investigate defects and protect yield.
  • Rich Simulation with Lore: Steam user tags highlight a top-down, lore-rich experience. The game supports multiple languages, including English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese, and includes Steam Achievements.

Who It's For

If you enjoy city builders, base building, or automation games where logistics and optimization are the core challenge, Fab.exe will appeal to you.

It's for players who like to read a system, find the real bottleneck, and make incremental improvements. The semiconductor theme adds a unique flavor that sets it apart from typical factory games.
