What Wrench is
Wrench is a mechanic simulator built around motorsports: you take race cars apart, repair them, and put them back together. The car assemblies are extremely detailed, down to fasteners that match real thread pitch and install torque. You work with a range of tools — combination wrenches, sockets and socket organizers, impact tools, pegboard organization, containers, and physics-based handling of parts. There are three chassis available: a hatchback streetcar and two licensed kit cars.
The game leans on world interaction instead of menus. The UI is limited to 2D overlays, and there is no automated inventory, so you are the one who tracks where every part went. Organizational tools are there to help you keep your workspace in order, and the garage itself is customizable with workbenches, flooring, and storage.
Playing it together
Co-op multiplayer is available in the beta branch, in both desktop and VR play modes. To get it, right-click Wrench in your Steam library and open the betas tab. With a friend in the garage, you can split the work across the same detailed assembly — one person handling disassembly, the other tracking parts and keeping the benches organized. Since nothing sorts itself, having a second set of hands for pegboard layout and container management genuinely changes how the session runs.
Before you start
The current build is a sandbox: it gives you the cars, tools, and space to work, and the developers are moving toward a more structured game loop. The most up-to-date work lives in that beta branch rather than the main build, so expect the setup above to shift as things develop.
Wrench is a traditional desktop keyboard-and-mouse game with a VR mode for Oculus, Index, WMR, Vive, and Vive Cosmos (experimental). The design philosophy is that you are allowed to fail, get lost, and do things wrong — mistakes are part of the loop, not something the game prevents. Going in with that mindset makes the first hours much smoother than expecting a guided tutorial.
