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.

- Pause briefly to scan the area for hidden items before sorting.
