changedTooltips & Tags Hover over any item and you'll now see its name and a set of tags that hint at where it might belong. Think of them as gentle nudges — not rules, just ideas. We'll be expanding the tag set over time.
addedGamepad & Steam Deck Support You can now play Neat with a controller. Steam Deck players, this one's for you.
addedQuests Rethought Quests no longer tell you exactly where to put something. You decide. The goal is still to tidy up — how you do it is up to you. Old quests have been updated to match this new philosophy.
addedSkip Tutorial Option For our most dedicated playtesters who've been with us since the beginning — you can now skip the tutorial. You've earned it.
addedNew Items Fresh items added to the kitchen and konbini, including ice cream.

A note on the shop and inventory

We're removing them. They were fun to build and fun to play with, but right now we want to focus our energy on the parts of Neat that feel the most satisfying. The shop and inventory aren't gone forever — we just need to be honest about where our attention should be. Thanks for understanding.

As always, leave feedback in the discussions. Every playtest helps.
