Discovery Channel Developing Game About Running a Moonshine Empire

Based on the Moonshiners TV series that takes audiences into the world of craft whiskey, diving into the woods of Appalachia where men and women are keeping this centuries-old tradition alive by defying law, rivals, and nature.

Now, fans of the show can step into their shoes through the Moonshiners game. The game will revive the most iconic moments and locations from the television series and blend it with completely new scenarios and characters.

I don’t normally post about these weird shovel-ware games, but I couldn’t help myself after seeing the screenshots. They look so bad that I was dying of laughter. This looks like it’s running on a bootleg console and I can’t wait to see it in action.

Moonshiners main features:

  • Build your own unique apparatus inspired by designs of fabled moonshiners
  • Make your own moonshine recipes or find legendary recipes in the game world
  • Watch out for the police and Feds – you can run or maybe it’s better to bribe them?
  • Discover the atmosphere of the Appalachians: alcohol smuggling, police raids, forest stills and the beauty of misty and mysterious forests.
  • Write a new page in the Moonshine history! Will you become a new legend like Popcorn Sutton or Barney Barnwell?
  • Decide who you will deliver to and who will have to wait – but remember you are not the only moonshiner in the area and the competition may use any delay.
  • To wishlist Moonshiners head to the Steam page here. More information on Moonshiners will be coming soon.
