PlayFirst's Chocolatier: Sweet Society gives ladies what they crave

Does the idea of building your own "grand chocolate empire" sound irresistibly delicious? And we're not talking Willy Wonka bars here, but something more classy and Victorian England, say, circa 1882? If so, then PlayFirst's "Chocolatier: Sweet Society" was made for you. We first covered this game last June, but on yesterday's Casual Connect Seattle, PlayFirst officially announced the game for the world. Since then, Playfirst has improved content by expanding chocolate recipes and incorporating elements from the PC version (originally released in 2007) such as the Factory Optimizer. Judging by the core demographic of Facebook social games, where a majority of players are women, PlayFirst decided that their game was the perfect match for Facebook's audience.

According to PlayFirst CEO, Mari Baker, "In limited release, we've already reached over a quarter million players and we're confident this game will please the sweet tooth of Facebook gamers everywhere." Right now, the player statistics for daily and monthly usage on AppData are good, but pretty modest -- hovering around 74k and 390k, respectively.
