Out today on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/344850/).
Very good melding of business sim, strategy, and some puzzle elements (optimizing lab space when placing equipment). This had already been available directly from the developer as Early Access for the last several months, so today's release is the official version.
I actually work in Big Pharma developing drug discovery and drug manufacturing templates and equipment. I had a really quick look at this because the premise relates directly to my work. Interestingly enough we spend millions each year working on modelling very similar problems in the game.
However this game has as much relationship to reality as RISK has to waging a modern war. I am however going to send this link to some colleagues in our Market Intel and Applications branches to give them a laugh as well. It could be a good little stress reliever from the real thing ;D

Looks like it could be enjoyable.
I just discovered it's on GOG, as well.
