Neat! Updates & Patch Notes

This is the Neat! updates hub for the Korova Games cozy organizer that launched on Steam on 14 September 2026. Use it when you want launch-week context, a calm summary of what shipped, and a predictable place to check after hotfixes or store-page changes.

Neat! is a single-player story about Molly restoring order across eight locations, with object-driven storytelling, roughly 3.5 to 4 hours of play, 24 Steam achievements, Steam Cloud, and Steam Deck Verified status. Publishers associated with the release include Rogue Duck Interactive and Gamersky Games. The launch price context sat around $7.99. None of that replaces official patch text — it simply frames why players open an updates hub in the first week.

Launch coverage

Start with Launch Notes. That leaf page covers:

• The 14 September 2026 Steam release day
• Steam Deck Verified timing on 13 September 2026 (day before launch)
• Intro discount / launch pricing context without promising future sales
• What new players should expect in the first post-launch days
• Links into guides, review reading, and hardware checks

If you only have time for one updates article during launch week, read that page, then keep the Patch Notes tracker bookmarked for dated official beats.

Patch notes tracker

Patch Notes is the ongoing desk for:

• Documented September 2026 beats (Deck Verified news + OUT NOW launch)
• An honest note when no detailed public hotfix list is confirmed yet
• The process this wiki uses to summarize future Steam news without inventing changelog lines
• Cross-links into Deck, specs, guides, and launch notes

Verify every claim against Steam’s own news hub. This fan tracker is a companion, not a primary source.

How this wiki tracks patches

We keep update writing boring on purpose. The process looks like this:

1. Watch official channels linked from the Links hub — Steam news, neatga.me, Discord, and the studio social accounts.
2. Summarize player-facing changes in plain language: crashes fixed, UI tweaks, localization, Deck notes, achievement adjustments, or save issues.
3. Avoid inventing patch IDs or changelog lines that were never posted.
4. Cross-link systems that matter. A performance hotfix should also nudge readers toward System Requirements or Steam Deck. A controls clarification should point at Controls. Story or progression fixes may reference the Walkthrough or Locations only when needed.
5. Date the context. Launch-week articles stay labeled as launch coverage so they are not confused with a later mid-season balance patch — not that Neat! is a live-service combat game, but clarity still helps.

Because Neat! is a short premium cozy title rather than a seasonal battle pass product, update volume may be modest: stability hotfixes, store copy edits, and quality-of-life polish. That is normal. An updates hub still earns its place by collecting those notes so you do not have to dig through every social thread.

What belongs on future update pages

When we add another leaf under this hub, expect sections such as:

• Headline — one sentence on why the patch matters
• Fixes — crashes, softlocks, save issues, UI bugs
• Improvements — readability, input, Deck, localization
• Known issues — only when officially acknowledged
• Player actions — verify game files, re-cloud save, re-bind controls, and so on
• Wiki follow-ups — which guide pages might need a re-read

We will not pad empty weeks with rumor roundups. If nothing shipped, this hub simply keeps pointing at Launch Notes, Patch Notes, and the living guide set.

Related reading while you wait for patches

Updates are only one slice of the wiki:

• New players should open the Guides Hub and Getting Started.
• Input questions go to Controls.
• Full story routing lives in the Walkthrough with supporting Locations detail.
• Efficiency and completion goals sit in Tips and Achievements.
• Purchase fit and tone are covered in the Review.
• Hardware and comfort doubts belong on the Tools Hub, System Requirements, Steam Deck, and Accessibility.
• Official URLs stay centralized on Links.

Launch-week priorities for players

If you bought Neat! on day one, a sensible order is:

1. Confirm your machine on System Requirements.
2. Skim Launch Notes for Deck and pricing context.
3. Bookmark Patch Notes for later Steam news.
4. Play through the opening with Getting Started.
5. Use Tips only when you want cleaner clears without heavy spoilers.
6. Return to this hub after any Steam news post that mentions a build change.

That sequence keeps spoilers low while still protecting you from install surprises.

Editorial standards

This fan wiki is unofficial. We are not Korova Games, Rogue Duck Interactive, or Gamersky Games. When official wording and community hearsay conflict, official wording wins. When a hotfix is tiny, we say so instead of dressing it up as a content drop. When a change affects achievements or progression, we call that out early so completionists can adjust using the Achievements page.

For store buttons, Discord invites, and social profiles, always prefer the Links page over reposted URLs in comments.
