About House Tidy
House Tidy is a slow-paced indie game developed by Bell Studio that tasks you with organizing and cleaning virtual homes. Released on January 20, 2026, it’s designed for PC players seeking a stress-free experience. The game revolves around decluttering rooms, arranging furniture, and solving minor spatial puzzles to transform chaotic spaces into serene environments. With no enemies, objectives, or time limits, it’s a game about methodical progress and mindfulness. Ideal for players who enjoy tasks like folding laundry or sorting physical items, it turns cleaning into a meditative ritual. The minimal art style and soft soundtrack reinforce its calm vibe.
Gameplay
In House Tidy, you navigate a top-down view of a house using mouse controls to pick up, move, and discard objects. Each room starts as a jumble of misplaced items, books on floors, clothes on chairs, furniture against walls. Your goal is to return everything to its logical place: books on shelves, clothes in drawers, chairs under tables. Some puzzles require rotating objects or adjusting their positions to fit. Progress feels rewarding as rooms gradually transform. You can pause at any time, and there’s no penalty for mistakes. Sessions last 20, 40 minutes, with no rush. The controls are intuitive, and the lack of combat or complex mechanics keeps the focus on the tactile satisfaction of tidying.
What Players Think
House Tidy holds a 4.3/5 average on PlayPile, with 85% of players completing it. Community moods are overwhelmingly calm (92%) and satisfied (88%), though 12% find it “too slow.” Average playtime is 4.2 hours, with 60% finishing in under six hours. Critics praise its stress-relief qualities: “Finally a game that feels like a nap after lunch,” wrote one user. Another noted, “I didn’t realize how therapeutic putting dishes in a sink could be.” Achievement completion rates are high (72% average), with the “Master Organizer” title earned by 43% of players. The game’s $19.99 price tag is seen as fair, though some wish for more varied environments.
PlayPile's Take
House Tidy is a niche but effective pick for players who enjoy low-effort, high-satisfaction tasks. It’s not for those craving action or storytelling, this is about finding joy in small, deliberate actions. At under $20, it’s a budget-friendly way to unwind, especially after long days. The 50 achievements add light motivation, but don’t overshadow the core experience. If you’ve ever found peace in folding laundry or organizing a closet, this game mirrors that feeling. It’s a brief but pleasant escape, best played in short bursts. Worth a try if relaxation is your priority.
