Neat! Tools & Specs
Hardware checks, Deck notes, and practical setup help before you tidy with Molly.
Welcome to the Neat! tools hub. This section is for practical setup questions: Can my PC run the game? What does Steam Deck Verified mean here? How much storage should I free up? Which comfort options matter before Molly’s first room?
Neat! is a cozy single-player organizing adventure from Korova Games, published with Rogue Duck Interactive and Gamersky Games. You play as Molly, an organizer who restores order across eight story locations. The loop mixes object storytelling with satisfying tidy-up play, and a typical run sits around 3.5 to 4 hours. The Steam launch landed on 14 September 2026 at roughly $7.99, with cloud saves, 24 achievements, partial controller support, and Steam Deck Verified status announced 13 September 2026.
Because the game is light on combat systems and heavy on atmosphere, most players care less about ultra settings and more about comfort: stable frame pacing on a laptop, readable UI on a Deck, and knowing the install will fit a nearly full SSD. Use this hub as the checklist before you dive into story guides.
Start here: system requirements
The detailed leaf page is System Requirements. It expands the official Windows and macOS tables, explains recommended upgrades, and adds Steam Deck Verified context plus soft performance tips. Skim that page if you are:
- Checking a Windows 10 or Windows 11 desktop or laptop against the minimum and recommended specs
- Confirming a macOS 12 Monterey or newer Mac (Apple Silicon M1-class or Intel i5)
- Planning a Steam Deck install and wondering what Verified status covers on day one
- Looking for storage, DirectX, Metal, and RAM notes without scrolling the Steam store wall of text
Bookmark the requirements page next to the store listing so you can re-check after a hardware change or OS upgrade.
Steam Deck Verified guide
For handheld-focused advice, open Steam Deck. That page covers:
- What Verified status means after the 13 September 2026 announcement
- Comfort settings (brightness, UI scale, TDP defaults)
- Cloud saves between Deck and PC
- Battery and ~4-hour session planning
- Troubleshooting for grip fatigue and tiny UI text
- Cross-links into controls, accessibility, and launch notes
If you only play on Deck, read requirements once, then live in the Steam Deck guide during your first evening.
Accessibility and comfort
Accessibility collects honest comfort strategies without inventing fake toggle names. It explains session length, audio habits, OS-level contrast helpers, partial controller expectations, and how Deck Verified fits into a calmer play plan. Pair it with Controls when remaps matter and with Tips when you want softer organizing habits mid-room.
What this hub is (and is not)
Tools pages on this wiki stay focused on setup and comfort. We do not host cracked installers, save editors, or cheat tables. We also do not invent benchmark numbers that were never published. When Korova or the publishers post patch notes that change performance or accessibility options, we point you to the Updates Hub, Launch Notes, and the Patch Notes tracker so you can read what changed in plain language.
If you need story help instead, jump to the Guides Hub. Beginners should open Getting Started first, then Controls if the input scheme feels unfamiliar. Players who want the full route can follow the Walkthrough and Locations pages. Efficiency fans can skim Tips and the Achievements checklist. Prefer a buying decision first? Read the Review overview, then confirm hardware on System Requirements.
Suggested setup checklist
- Confirm OS: Windows 10+ or macOS 12+.
- Compare your CPU, GPU, and RAM to the tables on System Requirements.
- Free roughly 1 GB on Windows or 1.5 GB on macOS for the install footprint, plus a little spare room for shader caches and Steam downloads.
- On Deck, follow Steam Deck, enable Cloud if you also play on PC, and test comfort settings.
- Skim Accessibility for session, audio, and readability habits.
- Launch once, set brightness and volume, then open Getting Started.
- Keep Launch Notes and Patch Notes handy during the first week.
Why specs still matter for a cozy game
Cozy does not always mean zero hardware questions. Integrated GPUs, older dual-core CPUs, and nearly full disks still cause hitching or failed installs. Neat!‘s published minimums call out 6 GB RAM on Windows, a GTS 250 / HD 6670 / UHD 610-class GPU, and DirectX 11. Recommended Windows builds move to 8 GB RAM and stronger mid-range cards. Mac minimums list 4 GB RAM, Metal, and either M1 or Intel i5 class hardware. Matching those lines before purchase is faster than troubleshooting mid-session stutters.
Steam Deck Verified status means Valve’s checklist passed for default controls, display, and performance expectations on Deck hardware. It is not a promise that every community overlay, third-party launcher, or extreme TDP tweak will behave the same. If something feels off on Deck after a Proton or OS update, re-check Steam Deck, the Updates Hub, and official Discord linked from the Links page.
After you install
Once the game runs cleanly, leave the tools section and play. Molly’s story rewards attention to objects and spaces more than raw FPS chasing. Use Tips when you want cleaner room clears, Locations when you lose track of where you are in the route, and Achievements when you want completion goals without spoilers dumped all at once.
Official channels and community spaces live on the Links hub. For patch history and launch-week context, stay inside Updates. For everything narrative and mechanical, the Guides Hub remains the main map of this wiki.
