Tinkering Is Enough

Tinkering Is Enough is a puzzle game set in a world fractured by a disaster involving a machine called the Wind Mover. As one of the few fixers left, you repair broken artifacts, fulfill customer requests and uncover the stories of the people who need your skills.

A fractured world

Many decades ago, the Wind Mover mined pure atoms from the air to create infinite energy. Cities thrived and the world was peaceful until a small crack formed in the machine’s pressure chamber. The crack was ignored for the sake of a bologna sandwich; minutes later, the chamber collapsed, damaging space and time and shattering everyday items like brittle glass.

Repair artifacts

You rotate, flip and fit fractured pieces together in jigsaw-style puzzles. Repairs range from simple fixes to complex, multi-layered artifacts, and each completed repair advances the story.

Customer stories

As you fulfill requests, you read letters from customers that reveal their lives and needs. The game focuses on patience, precision and the act of restoring broken things.
