About Tidy Up the Town

Tidy Up the Town is a cozy simulation where a magical mishap scatters over a thousand handcrafted items across the main square. Players collect and sort these items back into ten market stalls such as the Blacksmith, Apothecary, and Scribe.

The game offers no time limits or game‑over state, allowing players to tidy at their own pace. Comfort options include full key rebinding, motion‑sickness toggles, and automatic item selection, while full controller support lets you play with a gamepad.

01 / THE GUIDE

Items and Market Stalls

More than 1,000 handcrafted items are scattered throughout the square, each belonging to one of ten market stalls. The stalls have distinct visual themes that indicate where each item should be placed, guiding the sorting process.

Sorting requires moving each object to its correct stall or shelf, restoring order for the merchants. The variety of items creates many hidden secrets for players to discover as they explore the market area.

  • Use the visual cues of each stall to match items quickly.
  • Pause briefly to scan the area for hidden items before sorting.

02 / THE GUIDE

Magical Spells and Abilities

Players can unlock magical spells and abilities that speed up sorting, allowing faster collection of scattered goods. These upgrades become available as you progress through the game.

The spells are described as tools that increase efficiency, meaning they can reduce the time needed to gather and place items when they are active.

  • Experiment with different spells to see which matches your sorting style.
  • Unlock spells gradually to keep a balanced pace.

Animal Companions

Obtainable animal companions include both cats and dogs, each offering customizable breeds. These companions can accompany you while you tidy the market square.

The game notes that companions are obtainable during play, providing a way to personalize your tidy‑up sessions without specifying gameplay effects.

  • Switch between cat and dog breeds to change the visual atmosphere.
  • Choose a companion that you find pleasant for longer sessions.

04 / THE GUIDE

Leaderboards and Play Pace

Optional Steam and online leaderboards let you compare sorting times with friends and the wider community. The leaderboards are presented as an optional competitive feature for comparing results with others.

Because the game imposes no time limits or game‑over state, you can engage with the leaderboards at your own speed, choosing either casual play or a faster completion approach.

  • Check the leaderboard after a session to gauge improvement.
  • Use the no‑time‑limit design to experiment with different sorting strategies.

05 / THE GUIDE

Quality‑of‑Life Settings

The game includes full key rebinding, head‑bob and motion‑sickness toggles, field‑of‑view adjustments, and automatic item selection when clicking. These options let you tailor the experience to individual comfort levels.

Additional accessibility features such as adjustable text size, subtitle options, and color alternatives further enhance the play environment for a wide audience.

  • Enable automatic item selection to reduce repetitive clicking.
  • Adjust FoV and motion settings if you feel discomfort.
