About the Game

Welcome to Plenishins!

The Plenishins, our family, have been crafting furniture for nearly 50 years.

Legends say that it was our grandparents who invented the 3 legged-stool, the Coggley as we called it.

It was all going grand until the Scandinavians moved in. I won’t say the name but you know who I mean, with their brightly coloured shops and food…food in a furniture shop!

It’s been tough, the shop has been in your family for generations and now it’s on the brink, the last bastion of authentic local furniture.

To save the shop players must assemble flat packed furniture, fulfilling customer’s increasingly outrageous orders all the while keeping big corporate furniture at bay.

You're simply given a picture of the final build and so players must work out how everything is assembled and which tools to use, all the while skilfully manipulating each piece with no object snapping to cheat your way to the perfect chair, table, throne, instrument and much more!

  • Play from an immersive first-person perspective, either solo or in co-op

  • No step by step manuals - players get a single image of the final product and must reverse-engineer the build from loose parts

  • Craftsmanship Based Economy - earnings are directly tied to your skill where flawless builds command premium prices and terrible ones hurt your wallet

  • Upgrades & Progression - reinvest your profits to upgrade your tools and expand your shop to unlock increasingly complex, high-reward furniture blueprints

  • "Le grille? What the hell is that?!"
