Wrench is a mechanic simulation with a focus on motorsports.We are in a period of transition to new game systems and a new game loop. The most up to date work on the game is in the beta branch which can be accessed by right clicking on the Wrench in your Steam library and navigating to the betas tab. The Beta now supports co-op multiplayer in desktop and VR play modes. This build is a sandbox but we are working towards something much more structured soon. For more details see our recent update post.
Players in Wrench use a variety of tools to disassemble and repair an extremely detailed car assembly. There are three chassis currently offered in the game. A hatchback streetcar, and two licensed kit cars. Our philosophy behind Wrench is to allow players to fail, get lost, and do things incorrectly. We use limited 2d UI and prefer world interactions. There is no automated inventory system, players must keep track of all of their parts, and we provide organizational tools to help players manage their spaces. The garage space has customizable workbenches, flooring, and storage.
Wrench is a traditional desktop keyboard and mouse game with a VR mode for Oculus, Index, WMR, Vive, and Vive Cosmos (experimental).
