Kaizen - new Zachtronics designers game - New Demo and New trailer

From the original Zachtronics team comes Kaizen: A Factory Story, a retro-inspired automation puzzle game set in 1980s Japan. A public demo will be available on Steam starting June 9th as part of the Steam Next Fest.

Set against the backdrop of Japan’s economic boom, Kaizen invites players to step into the shoes of David Sugimoto, a young recruit working in a gritty industrial complex on the outskirts of Tokyo.
Players will design and optimize production lines using open-ended puzzle mechanics reminiscent of beloved Zachtronics titles like Opus Magnum, Infinifactory, and SpaceChem.

What’s in the demo?

  • A hands-on introduction to Kaizen’s open-ended puzzle mechanics

  • Your first taste of industrial automation, Zachtronics-style

  • A story-rich, 1980s setting filled with charm and challenge
