You took a well-paid night shift at a convenience store. No one's here. There's a note from the manager on the register:
"Late last night, some scary guys came brawling into the shop. One in a gray suit yelled 'Heat it uuup!', shoved a thug's head into the microwave, knocked shelves over for no reason... By the end, I think he was just having fun. I got the shelves back up, but threw out my back. Put the goods back by tomorrow morning. -- The Manager (going home, my back hurts)"
The floor is buried in merchandise. Over 400 kinds, over 4,000 items. Shelve them one by one, and watch the night turn to dawn.
There's only one rule
Every product has exactly one place in the store.
Hold an item and a translucent ghost appears. White means that's its spot. Red means wrong shelf.
The snap and the sound of an item landing on the right shelf, again and again, as satisfying as it gets.
Learn the store by heart
"Cup noodles go on the wall side of the center island." "Detergent is behind the ATM."
The more you play, the more the store's layout settles into your head. Lost? Open the Store Map (M key).
Sections are colored by category, and finished shelves turn green.
The shelf edges carry rails in the same colors, so you can find each section by color in the store, too.
Even the rice balls, bento boxes and ice cream in the coolers have exactly one right shelf.
The night turns to morning
As you tidy, the sky outside moves from midnight to twilight to morning.
When the last item is in place, the store opens in the morning sun.
Things happen at night
Every time you finish a section, another note from the manager turns up.
A late-night radio plays in the store: talk shows, listener letters, ads, songs and news flashes. Flip stations with the arrow keys: besides the talk show, three music-only stations (mellow, Hawaiian and upbeat pop) play 28 songs with vocals.
Then a midnight blackout, and the breaker is in the back office behind the register, where the manager's notices and a whiteboard cover the walls.
The store is empty, yet somehow the manager never feels far away.
Your part-timer grows
Shelving earns experience, and the skill tree unlocks new abilities.
Bigger Basket / Item Radar / Aisle Nav / Summon / Quick Stock...
The handiest ability only comes near the end, so the joy of shelving by hand lasts to the very last item.
Time attack after clearing
A second run where the mess is always the same (fixed seed). Start from scratch and chase your personal best.
After dawn, step outside
Once every shelf is back in order, you can wander the tidy store in Viewing Mode, then walk out through the automatic door into the town in the morning light.
And down the street...?
