THE GAME

A used-game shop after closing, its floor buried under 5,000+ games and consoles. Pick one up, read the label, slide it into its console's shelf, until the shop is tidy. A first-person tidying sim with no timer and no game over. Get faster as you go, find small rewards, and bring up to 3 friends.

The THE BACKLOG page has the full introduction and more screens.

This game was developed with AI as an assistive tool. The English, Chinese, Korean and Russian translations (in-game text and store page) were created with AI. Some of the in-game music, sound effects and images are generated by programs written with AI assistance. No content is generated by AI during gameplay.
