in development · waitlist open a merge puzzle for patient hands

merge a cog.
wait for the chime.
no rush.

it's a small bench, an oil cloth, and five drawers of brass parts. you merge gears, the bench keeps slow time, and at every chime a new piece slides out of the rack. nothing locks. nothing pesters. nothing sells you a "second life".

four drawers,
one slow bench.

all the standard merge mechanics, none of the standard predation. you merge cogs, the bench keeps real time, items unlock at chime intervals you can ignore for days. close the tab — the bench just sits there.

I · the merge

cogs into bigger cogs

drag two of the same gear together, get the next size up. seven tiers. that's the whole rule. no chains, no combos to memorize.

II · the chime

a slow bench clock

the rack drops a new piece on a real-time interval. you can wait, you can ignore it. there is no daily streak. there is no decay.

III · the drawers

five drawers, your pick

one drawer is free forever. four are paid theme packs — same mechanic, different parts and palette. buy the one that suits your bench.

IV · the rack

no chests, no roulette

no loot boxes, no spin-the-wheel "rewards", no dailies. the rack delivers exactly what the rack delivers. you keep what you make.

six quiet rules.

a merge game whose entire pitch is what it doesn't do. you'll find no energy bars, no FOMO timers, no premium currency, no cosmetic gacha. just the bench.

no energy bar

play as long as you want, when you want. there is no "you've run out of moves, come back in 4h". if you have a free hour, you can play a free hour.

no FOMO timer

no "this drawer closes in 2 days". no "limited-time bench skin". what's available today is available next month, and at the same price.

no gacha rolls

zero spinners, zero "rare drops". what you see in the drawer is what you get. theme packs are flat $4.99 — the price is on the product.

a single save

one bench per device, kept in localStorage. no account, no cloud sync, no telemetry. close the tab for a year — the bench is still there.

tick & chime OST

a quiet score by Egor Michurin. brass and oak, occasional bell. seven tracks across the day cycle. you'll merge to it for hours.

no ads, anywhere

free drawer is free, paid drawers are paid, that's the deal. no rewarded video, no banner, no "watch this for a hint". you bought a bench, not an ad slot.

five palettes,
five small benches.

one drawer is free forever. four are paid theme packs — the mechanic is identical, the parts are not. drop a workshop in your tab and pick the one your eye wants to live in.
