Gearhaven Workshop

Gearhaven Workshop puts you behind the counter of a cluttered repair shop. Customers bring in broken gadgets, and you diagnose, disassemble, and fix them through simple but tactile touch minigames.

The satisfaction is in the loop: reinvest in better tools, unlock harder repairs, decorate the shop. It scratches the same itch as those old management games but without any pushy timers.

It does start to repeat itself after a few hours, but the drip of new gadget types keeps it fresh longer than we expected. Great for short sessions.
