Kaizen: A Factory Story : The 2025 Steam Awards

The 2025 Steam Awards

The Steam Awards 2025 are open for nominations, and with your help, we think Kaizen: A Factory Story could win this year’s Best Game You Suck At award.

Not that you suck at it. It’s more about how bafflement can turn into feeling brilliant in a single moment. How an idea coalesces into a complex machine that miraculously does exactly what you wanted it to do. And then seeing your friend beat your score.

So if Kaizen has ever made you feel proud, frustrated, confused, delighted, or all of the above in the same five minutes, we would be honored to have your nomination. A Steam nomination (and reviews!) does more than earn us bragging rights as a newly formed co-op studio — it boosts visibility and helps more folks join in the fun of thinking there’s something wrong with the game and e-mailing Zach about it before realizing there really is a solution out there, waiting to be found.

Thanks for building, breaking, and occasionally questioning life choices with us!
