Kaizen: A Factory Story

Kaizen: A Factory Story is an automation puzzle video game developed by Coincidence, a studio formed by Zach Barth after the closure of Zachtronics, and published by Astra Logical. It was released for Windows, Linux and macOS in July 2025.

The player takes the role of an American engineer in the 1980s during the Japanese asset price bubble, hired by a Japanese company to help create assembly systems for a variety of electronic items. Like Barth's previous games, Kaizen gives the player open-ended sets of tools and commands to create these assemblies, with the player then rated on global scoreboards based on how efficient their solution is based on certain criteria.
