About Mantel
Digital content you own. Forever.
Mantel is a store and a Windows player for movies and games you keep. You install Mantel Player, buy a title here, and redeem with your pairing code. That purchase becomes one copy on one computer. After you download, you watch or play in Mantel Player — this site is not needed to play.
The philosophy
Streaming rents you access. A file a store can revoke is not ownership. Mantel treats a purchase the way a disc or a cartridge works: a real copy, on a real machine, that you can keep or give away.
Each purchase is one copy. Buy the same title again and you have another copy you can keep or transfer separately. Move a copy to another computer and it leaves the first one — the leftover file will not play there. That is the point. Ownership has a place, and moving it means it leaves.
This is a practical ownership model, not a claim that files cannot be copied. We bind a copy to a computer so buying means something, and we let you transfer that copy when you want it somewhere else. Playback does not depend on this website staying up.
How a copy works
- Install Mantel Player on the Windows computer where you want to keep it.
- Buy a movie or a game on this site.
- Redeem with the pairing code from your order. The code works once, on that computer.
- Watch or play there. Transfer later if you want the copy on another machine.
