Hey everyone!

Put Your Toys Away Together! is part of Steam Next Fest, and the Demo has been updated for it. If you haven’t tried it yet, hit Download Demo on the store page and grab some friends. If you have, there’s new stuff waiting for you.

Here’s what’s new:

🎮 Three Ways to Play
The demo store now has three modes. The host picks one before the game starts.

• Classic: the store you know. Put every toy back where it belongs.

• Time Attack: same goal, but now there’s a clock. The whole crew races to fill the shelves before it runs out.

• Free Play: no departments to worry about. Any toy goes on any shelf, so just tidy up at your own pace.

You can see different modes switch on top of the map choose screen.

👕 Character Customization
Want a new look? Walk into the fitting room and press interact on the mirror. Pick your character, hairstyle, top, pants and shoes, each in several colours. Your friends see every change as you make it.

Thank you for playing, for all the feedback and for sticking with us. See you in the store!

Since the demo went live, most of our time has gone into two big things: a whole new store to clean up, and new ways to play every store in the game. Here's what's coming.

You may have already spotted our biggest store, the Shopping Mall, with its 20,000+ toys. It shows up in the trailer, and if you look through the glass in the demo store, you can catch a small piece of it on the other side.

But the Mall isn't the only big store we've been building. Meet Toy Kingdom: two floors joined by a staircase, 9,500+ toys on the floor, a department for everything from cars and dinosaurs to plushies and doll mansions, and two new dioramas, a shape-matching board and a plastic castle. The tablet map now shows one floor at a time, so you can always find your way around.

There's even a little sports corner: a Boxing Club with a punching bag and a rocking horse that you can knock around. Punch them, bump into them or throw a toy at them and they swing. Strictly for blowing off steam between shelves, of course.

The host now picks a mode before the store opens. Every store, including Toy Kingdom, can be played all three ways, and each mode keeps its own save for each store.

The game you know. Every toy belongs to its department. Fill every shelf to clean up the store.

Same rules, but now there's a clock, and the whole crew shares it. Every time the team beats its record for toys put away, the clock gets some time back. A toy on the wrong shelf doesn't count, and taking a toy off and putting it back won't buy you extra time. The bonus is scaled to the size of your crew, so a solo run and a four-player run are both a fair race.

When the store is clean or the clock hits zero, a results screen shows how many toys each player put away. Now you know who was really working and who was throwing plushies at the punching bag.

No departments, no rules about what goes where. Any toy can go on any shelf it fits on, and the store is done when nothing is left on the floor. Shelves still keep one kind of toy per row, so the store ends up looking neat anyway. Free Play is for when you just want to tidy up with your friends and relax.
