- Players looking for a fully structured game loop rather than a sandbox-focused build
Our take on Wrench
The bounce point arrives when a repair session produces a pile of removed parts: without automated inventory management, every component must be tracked and organized manually. Players who prefer menu-driven maintenance may stop at the physical storage and workshop-management systems.
What is Wrench?
Wrench is a motorsport mechanic simulation focused on preparing and maintaining race cars.
Players use tools to take apart and repair detailed vehicle assemblies across three chassis: a hatchback streetcar and two licensed kit cars. Work relies on physical interaction, with limited 2D interface support and no automated inventory system. Parts must be tracked and organized using storage tools, socket organizers, pegboards, and physics-based containers. The garage includes customizable workbenches, flooring, and storage. The game supports desktop keyboard-and-mouse play and VR, with experimental support for Oculus, Index, WMR, Vive, and Vive Cosmos. Co-op multiplayer is available in the beta build for desktop and VR modes.
