During the overwhelming deluge of trailers and announcements that was Summer Game Fest, one of the games that caught the attention of some of us here at Phenixx Gaming was Kaizen: A Factory Story. Most of us on Staff like a good factory sim, things like Factorio or Satisfactory. Kaizen seems different, though, and now we’ll all be able to find out for ourselves.

Per an announcement released by developer Coincidence and publisher Astra Logical, you can now play Kaizen: A Factory Story on Steam. This coincides with the current Steam Automation Fest, celebrating similar games and demos. Here is what the press release said about the announcement:

“In the midst of Japan’s 1980s economic boom, players rivet, drill, and snap components into place, then watch their machines whirl to life on an ever-moving assembly line. Rising through the ranks as Indiana-born David Sugimoto, players will build everything from calculators to arcade cabinets while relentlessly proving themselves through factory rookie work at Matsuzawa Manufacturing.

As players optimize factory designs, they can share their sleekest solutions with friends and the wider world by exporting GIFs with the press of a button. Kaizen also includes side content such as playing “Pachi-Sol,” an exciting new pachinko-themed solitaire game.”

There is a 15% discount on Kaizen: A Factory Story until July 28^th; afterward, the game will sell for $19.99. I’m excited to see what Kaizen’s full release is like. I played the demo a little while ago and had a lot of fun with it. Now is the perfect time for automation fans to pick it up, too. Also, the Automation Fest will be around until July 21^st, so keep that in mind.
