A short boilerplate.

Manu Games LLC is a one-person studio in Waynesville, North Carolina, making patient, deeply systemized games for Apple devices. The studio's first title, Tideward, is an idle role-playing game native to iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Vision Pro, and Apple Watch, with twenty-three skills, twenty-four hours of offline progression, and a save file that lives only in the player's own iCloud. Tideward is in TestFlight alpha now and ships in February 2027 as a free download with a one-time $9.99 unlock. No advertising, no subscription, and no third-party tracking of any kind.
