Put Back Stuff

Put Back Stuff is a cozy organisation game about taking a terrible mess and tidying it up with satisfying sounds and feedback.

Pick up an item, figure out where it belongs, and put it back where you want it to be within the category. That’s it. No rushing; just thousands of misplaced objects, plenty of empty shelves, and the quiet satisfaction of watching chaos slowly become order.  You have labels at your disposal if you’re a planner, collectibles to gather and mess to fix. You can use abilities to work faster or take your time.

How you play is up to you.

Put Back Stuff is a game that has room to grow. More levels are being worked on and planned across different themes, so there’ll always be more to tidy!

Restore an Australian supermarket filled with more than 5,000 placeable items over 300 unique shelves. Sort products into their correct departments, group matching items together, and gradually uncover the floor beneath the mess. Discover local products and lost property collectibles.

Take on a craft store containing more than 2,000 placeable items. Sort paint, yarn and fabrics, restore the displays, and confront the important question: should wool be organised by colour or by ply or texture?

Organising thousands of products is a big job, but you won’t have to do everything the hard way.

Earn coins as you restore the levels, then spend them in the Training Module Skill System to unlock and improve useful abilities. Summon missing objects, run faster, locate the shelves things belong on, carry more at once, and become the highly trained employee you were always meant to be.

You might stumble across some ‘lost property’ on levels. These fun trinkets are an extra bonus and can be hard to find. Can you locate them?

You can place up to 100 sticky notes per level on any surface. Will you plan out your shelves in advance or use them to document your descent into organising insanity?

Customize your own playlist in game so your soundtrack suits your vibe. Want some relaxing lo-fi or something a little more upbeat? We have options!
