Universal Tidy Up, a surreal first-person puzzle game by solo developer Monu, launches on Steam October 19.

The game starts with conventional tidying tasks—putting cups on shelves, organizing books—but escalates into increasingly strange puzzle scenarios. As you progress, the stages introduce new rules and unconventional objects to organize, eventually moving beyond typical household spaces into weird environments.

Universal Tidy Up features more than 20 handcrafted stages, each presenting new mechanics and organizational challenges that shift as you play.
