Organic Burger Simulator is a personal comeback story for Indie developers

For many, the world of game development can feel like a relentless uphill battle—especially for indie developers working with limited resources and without the backing of big studios. Organic Burger Simulator is the result of a long journey for two indie developers, Mehmet Bilici and Hüseyin, who decided to risk it all for one last shot at their dream. After years of setbacks, failed projects, and mounting doubts, the duo decided to go for broke and pour everything into this new project. The result? A chaotic yet heartfelt simulation game that is set to bring a new twist to the genre.

Organic Burger Simulator, launching on June 17, 2025 on Steam, is more than just a game—it’s a passion project that encapsulates the spirit of indie game development. It’s a reflection of resilience, creativity, and the drive to keep going, even when the odds are stacked against you.

The Game That Had to Be Made

After a failed café business venture and multiple hurdles in their professional careers, Bilici and Hüseyin found themselves questioning whether they should continue making games. It was then that they made a pact: they would give one final shot at creating a game. If this game didn’t succeed, they would walk away for good. This pact led to the creation of Organic Burger Simulator.

“We didn’t want to just create another simulation game,” says Mehmet Bilici, the lead developer behind the game. “We wanted something that felt alive, something where players could really feel the process—from raising cows to managing machines, and finally, flipping that perfect burger.”

The game invites players to take on the role of a burger entrepreneur, starting from scratch by raising livestock on their farm and working their way up to managing a full-fledged burger empire. But it’s not just about selling burgers—it’s about immersing players in every chaotic step of the process. From harvesting the ingredients to serving customers, players get to experience the full scope of running a burger business.

The Chaos of Building an Empire

In Organic Burger Simulator, players are not simply clicking through menus or watching progress bars. Instead, they are fully engaged in the action. Here’s what the game offers:

• Raising Livestock – Begin your journey by running a farm, where you take care of animals and harvest ingredients.

• Processing Ingredients – Manage chaotic machines like the Cowculator that transform raw ingredients into burger-ready products.

• Grilling and Serving – Take the ingredients through the cooking process and serve customers who demand the perfect burger.

• Business Expansion – Use profits to upgrade machines, hire staff, and expand your operations to meet growing demand.

This hands-on approach means that every decision counts. If a machine breaks down or a cow isn’t properly taken care of, it directly impacts the quality of your burgers and the success of your business. “It’s messy, it’s fun, and it’s ours,” Bilici adds, describing the chaotic nature of the gameplay.

A Personal Journey for the Creators

At its core, Organic Burger Simulator is deeply personal for its creators. Bilici and Hüseyin poured their own struggles, dreams, and determination into the game. It reflects their resilience in the face of adversity—just like many indie developers facing the challenges of the industry. Through this game, they have created not just a product but a testament to perseverance and a celebration of the indie development spirit.

Favour Toys Studios, the publisher of the game, has expressed immense pride in partnering with Bilici and Hüseyin. “Their passion is contagious, and Organic Burger Simulator is the kind of joyful, grounded, and fun experience the genre needs,” says Robin Wolff from Favour Toys Studios. The studio has already made a mark in the indie game space with titles like Supermarket Simulator, and this partnership marks another exciting project in their growing portfolio.
