Former developers from Zachtronics have announced a new puzzle game titled Kaizen: A Factory Story, set to release later this year on Windows PC. This game marks a shift for the team, who previously gained acclaim for titles like SpaceChem and Opus Magnum.
Kaizen will transport players to 1980s Japan, where they will engage in designing, building, and optimizing production lines in factories. Players will create various products, including calculators, camcorders, and arcade machines, as they strive to advance through the ranks of the factory world.
The game aims to maintain the depth and complexity that fans expect from the developers while appealing to a broader audience. The team, now operating under the name Coincidence, has also ventured into card games and educational titles since the closure of Zachtronics.
Kaizen: A Factory Story promises an open-ended puzzle experience, reflecting the developers‘ desire to capture the essence of the Japanese bubble economy. The game is positioned to resonate with fans of the genre while inviting newcomers to explore its intricate mechanics.
