What you actually do

A shop full of light, and every bottle in the wrong place

Something went wrong overnight. Your entire stock — every potion hand-named, numbered and labelled — is scattered across the floor of your apothecary in a glittering, tumbled heap. Nothing is broken. Nothing is on fire. There is simply an enormous, beautiful mess, and all the time in the world to put it right.

1

Pick it up

Wade into the pile. Bottles part around your legs, roll, knock into each other and settle. The liquid sloshes when you carry it.

2

Read it

Every bottle wears a real printed label — aged parchment, a letterpress watermark, a vermillion drop cap edged in gold. Hold it up to the light.

3

Shelve it

Find the shelf where it belongs and set it down. Get it right and it locks in with a soft green swell — forever. Get it wrong and nothing happens at all.

No pressure. Ever.

No timer. No fail state. Nothing chasing you.

  • Mistakes cost nothing but the walk. Put a bottle in the wrong slot and there's no penalty, no buzzer, no score. Pull it back out and try again.
  • Correct is permanent. Every bottle you get right is a bottle you never think about again.
  • The shop saves itself. Close the game mid-heap and come back tomorrow to exactly the shop you left.
  • Three difficulty modes — from numbered tags on every slot to a shop that hides its colours until you've earned them — plus a Purist mode with no help at all.
Made to be lived in

Glass worth holding up to the light

🧪

Real liquid, real glass

It sloshes when you carry it, leans when you turn, foams when you shake it and settles when you set it down. Three families of glass: polished, frosted, and thick with suspended gold flakes.

🌗

A shop that changes all day and all night

Real time passes overhead — long bright days, short soft nights, rain and thunderstorms rolling across three glass domes. Sunbeams and moonbeams wake the bottles up.

🏮

A lantern that finds things

Your lantern is a finding tool, not a floodlight. Sweep it across a dark corner and the bottles it touches glow back at you. It never gets pitch dark — this is a shop, not a horror game.

🫙

A pile that is actually there

Every one of the 2,080 bottles is a physical object. Kick one and it goes. Pull one out of the middle of a stack and the ones above notice.

🎵

A soundtrack that unlocks as you tidy

20 licensed tracks. Half the soundtrack starts locked and unlocks song by song as you finish shelves, with a music player built into the menu.

✍️

Fully moddable

Every potion name, shelf title and symbol is a plain text file. Rename all 260. Retitle the shelves. Translate the shop into your own language. Drop the folder in and toggle it on — or write it in the online Label Maker.

260 names, all written by hand

Tidying is also reading

Every name was written by hand and sorted onto 26 themed shelves. They are not filler. Pick a bottle up and read it.

Tidy together. Or don't.

Bring a friend. Or race one.

Online co-op

7KQ2XA

Open your shop and read out a six-character room code. That's the entire setup — no account to make, no launcher to sign into, no ports to forward. Your friend types the code and they're standing in your shop, shoving the same pile you are, stealing bottles out of your hands.

Couch co-op

One button adds a second player on the same screen, split top and bottom. Same pile, same shelves, twice the hands. Full controller support with in-game rebinding.

Versus: Sun vs Moon

Split the shop clean down the middle and race. 13 shelves and 1,040 slots each, two mirrored piles, your side's bottles only. Win on time, on bottle count, or by tidying your whole half first — with a countdown, a scoreboard that races inward from both sides, and a proper winner's card.
