Kaizen: A Factory Story is really, really good-looking

I started playing the new automation puzzle game from Zachtronics Coincidence, a studio that happens to be: the Zachtronics people, again. What a coincidence!!

It's very good. But it's also just absolutely beautiful in a way that only Zachtronics games are. It's got an extremely easy-to-understand and appealingly physical UI with an 80s tech feel. The puzzles contain dozens of personality-heavy little objects to make. And there are a bunch of environment stills full of cute little cartoon factory people. This game just looks so good! (Also, of course, it is fun to play.)

Several clicky-clacky "pachinko solitaire" games: 20250716124717_1

It just all looks so good!!! Also the puzzles are fun. Highly recommend this one.
