Game designer Zach Barth has a new venture by the name of Coincidence. Instead of being a traditional game developer like his first studio Zachtronics, he says this studio is more of a "flexible business framework" that lets small teams work on solo or group projects, video games or otherwise.
Coincidence also revealed Kaizen: A Factory Story, a puzzle automaton game about creating and optimizing factory lines in 1980s Japan. In the announcement, Barth said the company hoped to bring "the open-ended design we’re known for to a broader audience without compromising on depth or complexity."
Kaizen is its first official game project, following the contracted edutainment work Add Astra for an elementary school teacherCome from VP bet . The game will be published by Astra Logical later in 2025 on Steam, and "twist your brain into beautiful, efficient knots."
