About

Drawing on their experience working on BAFTA-winning AAA narrative games and wildly popular high end mobile games, Kaizen Game Works wants to change the rules around game narratives and how players experience them. With a focus on player agency and story interaction, Kaizen want to allow players to craft their own tales and express themselves within games.
