Tidy Till Dawn
A convenience store, past midnight. The manager's note: "A brawl wrecked the shop. I fixed the shelves, but threw out my back." Pick up, sort, and snap nearly 4,000 items back onto the right shelves in this cozy first-person tidying puzzle. Fill the shelves, and watch the night turn to dawn.
You took a well-paid night shift at a convenience store. No one's here. There's a note from the manager on the register:
"Right before closing last night, some scary guys came brawling into the shop. One in a gray suit yelled 'Heat it uuup!', shoved a thug's head into the microwave, knocked shelves over for no reason... By the end, I think he was just having fun. I got the shelves back up, but threw out my back. Put the goods back by tomorrow morning. -- The Manager (going home, my back hurts)"
The floor is buried in merchandise. 372 kinds, nearly 4,000 items. Shelve them one by one, and watch the night turn to dawn.
There's only one rule
Every product has exactly one place in the store.
Hold an item and a translucent ghost appears. White means that's its spot. Red means wrong shelf.
The snap and the sound of an item landing on the right shelf, again and again, as satisfying as it gets.
Learn the store by heart
"Cup noodles go on the wall side of the center island." "Detergent is behind the ATM."
The more you play, the more the store's layout settles into your head. Lost? Open the Store Map (M key).
Sections are colored by category, and finished shelves turn green.
The shelf edges carry rails in the same colors, so you can find each section by color in the store, too.
The night turns to morning
As you tidy, the sky outside moves from midnight to twilight to morning.
When the last item is in place, the store opens in the morning sun.
Things happen at night
Every time you finish a section, another note from the manager turns up.
In-store announcements every few minutes. A midnight blackout, and the breaker is in the back office behind the register.
The store is empty, yet somehow the manager never feels far away.
Your part-timer grows
Shelving earns experience, and the skill tree unlocks new abilities.
Bigger Basket / Item Radar / Aisle Nav / Summon / Quick Stock...
The handiest ability only comes near the end, so the joy of shelving by hand lasts to the very last item.
Time attack after clearing
A second run where the mess is always the same (fixed seed). Start from scratch and chase your personal best.
