You’re a Handy One, Aren’t You? #
Manley Mann is a story-rich extreme carpentry game developed by Scry Quest. Use your woodworking skills to solve your neighbours’ problems and rebuild your community.
Build Furniture, Build Community! #
The game features a 2D construction mechanic with the freedom to build anything you can imagine… if you can get the timing of your signature move, the hammer strike!
Your carpentry skills are put to good use, helping out a diverse cast of neighbours and growing the community.
Over time, your positive impact is visible in the shop signs, park benches, and little libraries you contribute to the neighbourhood. As you develop the trust of each of the characters you learn more about them and help with problems closer to their hearts.
Build ‘Em Up! #
Manley Mann is a wholesome, casual game that subverts the beat ’em up genre. As you learn about the community you also learn about Manley’s past and his own need for redemption.
