Neat! launches today on Steam with eight messy rooms and eight lives hidden inside them
Tidying someone else's room can become surprisingly personal once every object starts saying something about its owner. Neat!, launching September 14 on Steam, builds its entire structure around that idea: eight handcrafted spaces, eight clients and a story hiding underneath every pile.
By Kader Neat! 
Molly solves problems one object at a time.
She is a successful startup founder whose business revolves around helping overwhelmed people organize their spaces. A crowded room arrives in front of her, and the player starts sorting, placing and making sense of what its owner has allowed to accumulate.
That could have been the whole game.
Korova Games is more interested in who made the mess.
Eight locations mean eight different people
Neat! contains eight handcrafted locations, each tied to its own client and personal story.
Molly's work begins in her grandmother's garden. Another job takes her to a neighborhood library after what was apparently meant to be a quiet chamber-music evening ended up looking considerably more like a rock concert.
There is a VTuber's streaming room that needs to be ready before her first live broadcast, a single mother's kitchen and a Japanese konbini during the night shift.
Other spaces get stranger. One client insists a living room is haunted. Another belongs to someone who apparently has everything required to live without ever going outside.
The final location is described as the most personal one. Korova is leaving the specifics for players to discover.
The objects are doing the character writing
Neat!'s organizing mechanics double as its storytelling system.
Players learn about clients by handling the ordinary things surrounding them. Where an object belongs is one question. Why somebody owns it, kept it or left it buried under everything else can be another.
That turns each room into something closer to a fragmented biography than a conventional abstract puzzle.
Korova frames the process around care rather than efficiency. Molly enters a stranger's space, understands a little more about the person living there, helps and eventually moves on.
No timer needs to make the clutter stressful again
Steam categorizes Neat! around organizing, simulation, decorating, puzzle and cozy play. It is a single-player game designed to be played at the player's own pace.
Its accessibility information specifically lists support for play without timed inputs, alongside adjustable text size, contrast options, color alternatives and mouse-only play.
Korova describes its broader design interests with terms such as visual ASMR and tactility.
For a game about helping overwhelmed people regain a little calm, putting a countdown clock over the kitchen would have been a strange choice anyway.
The PC requirements are deliberately modest
The Windows version currently asks for roughly 1 GB of free storage. Minimum requirements include 6 GB of RAM and GPUs as old as a GeForce GTS 250, Radeon HD 6670 or Intel UHD Graphics 610.
Neat! also supports macOS, including compatible Intel hardware and Apple Silicon systems.
Steam lists twelve interface and subtitle languages, including French, alongside achievements and cloud saves.
Korova is building an entire studio identity around putting things in order
Neat! is also an unusually clean introduction to its developer.
Korova Games describes itself as a studio making warm, tactile, narrative-driven games about organizing spaces. Its first commercial release is almost a literal demonstration of that sentence.
The Steam page still showed no user reviews for the full game around launch, so its reception has yet to form.
The rooms are already waiting.
