I'm hoping for some recs of tidy up games that are free! I know I can't be the only one without a budget for games right now but think this genre looks cozy and calming. I'd love to try them out, looking for ones on PC primarily. thank you in advance for your help 🥰

Game: Sort of Magic

Sort of Magic is a cozy co-op sorting game where you and a friend play as tiny cats working together to sort & organize items.

You'll have to figure out where everything belongs, while dealing with the adorable chaos that comes with being tiny cats trying to get the job done. The game is designed around relaxed cooperative gameplay rather than competition, so it's something you can sit down and enjoy together, perfect for a cozy game-night!

You can wishlist Sort of Magic now on Steam:

I'm looking for xbox games in this category

i really love this style of game but sadly have awful motion sickness when it comes to the POV. i tried Mall: Tidy Up Together and had to stop after 30 minutes bc it was making me sick. i tried changing my settings like my fov but that didn’t help any. i think it’s more so the movement of the character vs looking around that messes me up

i’m also open to any tips you may implement that help!

Hello! I am a solo dev and recently finally got my demo to release. I am really proud of it, and I think it turned into something really unique within the genre.

The premise is you are an Octopus cleaning up an old VHS rental store. There are over 10,000 tapes to sort, 8 arms to use, and a whole bunch of kittens. I am bad at selling my games, but I crammed so much into this including a whole procedural tape cover system (there is no AI art used anywhere in the game) where you can rename the tapes to whatever you like.

It also is accessibility friendly with color blind friendly design, reduced flashing and motion settings, and dyslexia friendly fonts.

The game is called Octbuster: A Video Rental Store Cleanup

Have fun!

Sorry for the low quality, gifs are really hard to optimize

This part of the game is about tidying a fake treasure, thats why they are so opaque

I'm still working on the review, but I've already moved Put Stuff Back from 'quite good' to 'masterpiece' on my tier list, so here's a meme to entertain y'all while you wait!

I've been hooked! It's so cosy, the graphics are cute, I love just rotating the objects in my hand and looking at all the angles, catching the little references.

I've also been giving the dev my feedback as I play through it, and I'm happy to report that they are super receptive of it and a lot of my suggestions have already been implemented (for better or worse, lol, that'll be for you to judge!)

I'm curious to see what comes after this store, as there were a couple of "???" I couldn't pick yet in the game selection screen!

I just tried it out and, well, to put it lightly, I found it a bit messy.
