Independent UK developer Malum Games announced on July 28 that its co-op tidying simulation game 'Tidy Up Together' will launch on PC via Steam on August 14. The game is set in a fantasy adventurer's shop, where an evil wizard's tornado spell scatters over 4,000 items across the floor. Players restore the shop by picking up items one by one and placing them on the correct shelves and display stands. Items span 12 categories, from greatswords and grimoires to potions, clothing, toys, and food like sushi and pineapple. There is no time limit or game over, allowing players to tidy at their own pace. As tidying progresses, players unlock abilities that increase carry capacity or make organizing more efficient. The game supports solo play and online co-op with no limit on the number of participants, so friends can divide the sales floor and clean up together. Malum Games previously developed 'Escape from Skull Dungeon,' 'They See Us,' and 'Escape from Kyoto House,' the latter holding a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam. Wishlist registration is open now.
The announcement came via a July 28 press release from Malum Games, an independent developer based in the UK. The studio's previous titles include the dungeon escape game 'Escape from Skull Dungeon' and the co-op horror 'They See Us,' but its most notable work is 'Escape from Kyoto House,' a co-op puzzle game that has earned a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam, with 92% of 126 user reviews being favorable.
'Tidy Up Together' departs from that horror and escape focus toward a relaxing simulation. The core loop involves walking around the shop in first-person view, sorting scattered merchandise into 12 categories that include adventurer gear, potions, clothing, toys, and food items. The lack of a time limit or game over means players can approach the task without pressure, and the ability to learn new skills as tidying progresses adds a light progression layer.
The most distinctive feature is the online co-op, which has no participant cap. This allows large groups of friends to tackle the 4,000-plus items together, either by dividing the shop into sections or working as a crowd. The game launches on Steam on August 14, with wishlist registration currently open.
