The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A lighthearted chaotic cleaning sim where you tidy up absurd, messy scenes with comedic physics and bright pixel art.

What players say

Players describe Mess Quest as a short, satisfying 2D cleaning sim reminiscent of Viscera Cleanup Detail, but some find its physics frustrating and wish for more levels. Opinions split on the lighting mechanic and a grindy coin achievement, while occasional bugs can force restarts.
