About this game
Tidy Tales takes the beloved unpacking genre and makes it a quiet portrait of one life. Eight rooms, eight chapters: a dorm room with two boxes of everything, a first shared flat, a solo studio, a wedding home, a nursery, the loud family years, the quiet years, and finally an attic where every kept object reunites. Drag items from the cardboard box onto shelves, desks, drawers and walls; each object has a place where it truly belongs, and three stars reward reading that truth - one star for a tidy room, two for heart-placements, three when nothing feels off. There are no timers and no fail states, only the slow satisfaction of surfaces clearing. The story is told entirely through objects: the teddy bear that survives every move, the mug collection that starts at one, the thesis notes that finally go to rest. Your star ratings and found treasures persist, and the eight rooms make a perfect fifteen-minute session that quietly lands harder the older you get.
How to play
Drag an item from the box tray to any room slot. Items glow when they land where they belong; tap a placed item to pick it back up.
Tips & Tricks
- Watch what each room is for - a nursery wants bottles near the bedside, not the wall
- Perfect runs finish in almost the same number of moves as objects; shuffle less
- Revisiting old rooms is free - star chasing is a calm endgame
- The attic reuses objects from every chapter; it reads like a photo album
Frequently asked questions
Is there any way to lose?
No - the game has no fail state. Stars reward placement quality, and you can rearrange as long as you like.
How do I know where an object belongs?
Placed items subtly glow when they are in their true spot; otherwise the room is yours to interpret, and the stars tell you how close you got.
Does the story save?
Stars and completed rooms persist on your device, and the eight chapters are designed as one sitting or eight sittings.
