Neat! Guides Hub
Day-one help through full walkthroughs, location deep dives, tips, 100% routes, and comparisons.
Welcome to the Neat! guides hub. This wiki covers Korova Games’ cozy organizing narrative from first launch through a careful 100% pass. You play as Molly, a professional organizer whose startup helps clients by sorting the spaces that mirror their lives. Stories arrive through objects, letters, cassette tapes, and notes rather than cutscene dumps—so the best guides teach you how to read a room, not how to chase a single correct shelf layout.
There is no single correct layout. Neat! asks you to organize by feel, respect each client’s personality, and leave when the space feels settled. A full run lands around 3.5–4 hours, with Steam Cloud saves, 24 achievements, and Steam Deck Verified play. Use this hub to jump into the page that matches your goal, then cross-link as you go.
Start here
New to the game? Begin with Getting Started for day-one expectations, how Molly’s jobs work, and how to treat clutter as narrative. Pair it with Controls if you want mouse, keyboard, or partial controller notes before you dive into the grandmother’s garden.
If you already finished a location or two and want smarter habits, skip ahead to Tips. That page covers pacing, storytelling reads, and how to avoid rushing past letters and tapes that unlock emotional context.
Full progression
When you want a spoiler-aware path through all eight hand-crafted spaces, open the Walkthrough. It moves location by location—from the opening garden and the neighborhood library’s chamber-music-turned-rock-concert mess, through the VTuber streaming room, the “haunted” living room, the hermit room stocked for a life lived indoors, a single mom’s kitchen, a Japanese konbini night shift, and the deeply personal final space—without spoiling every object beat.
For atmosphere, object themes, and what each space is about, use the Locations deep dive. Keep both pages open if you like: walkthrough for order and completion mindset, locations for theme and vibe.
Completion and opinion
Chasing Steam’s 24 achievements? Read Achievements for confirmed titles such as Stationery Addict, Room Reboot, Touch Grass… Later, and Chef’s Kiss, plus general progression, exploration, and misc guidance for the rest—without inventing fake names. For a full story-then-mop-up completion plan, use How to 100 Percent.
Want a blunt buyer’s take before or after purchase? The Review covers who Neat! is for, length and value around the ~$7.99 price point, and Deck comfort. Choosing between Molly’s client anthology and Witch Beam’s classic? Read the fair Neat! vs Unpacking comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about Neat!, Molly, and this fan wiki.
Where should a brand-new Neat! player start?
Read Getting Started, skim Controls, then play the opening garden at your own pace. Use Tips if you start rushing past letters and tapes.
Is there a fixed correct layout for each room?
No. Neat! expects you to organize by feel and client context. Guides here teach reading spaces and pacing, not one mandatory shelf map.
How long is a full playthrough?
Most players finish in about 3.5–4 hours. Achievement hunting and careful reading can stretch that without changing the core loop.
Which guide covers all eight locations?
Use the Walkthrough for progression order and Locations for theme deep dives. Cross-link both as you move through Molly’s jobs.
Where are the 100% route and Unpacking comparison?
Use How to 100 Percent for a story-then-mop-up plan, Achievements for trophy mindset, vs Unpacking for a fair genre comparison, and Review for buyer fit.
