Actually fun games and projects.

Manawave makes PC games you'll want to come back to, and one free launcher that keeps them all up to date.

What we make, and how

We make games that are actually fun. Not grind with a coat of paint, not a storefront with a game attached. Every Manawave game has to be something we'd play on a night off.

Fair prices
Games cost a few dollars, go on sale often, and BOGSAINT is free. Buy what you like, or get everything with Mana Pass.
Something new every month
Mana Pass members get free access to one new release every month, on top of the whole library.
Your time matters
No energy timers, no daily chores, no ads. Play an hour or a weekend, and it feels worth it either way.
A light launcher
It downloads, checks and updates your games, then gets out of the way. Your saves are never touched.
Privacy by default
We store your email only as a scrambled hash, and card details go straight to Stripe. They never reach our servers.
