Fighting Clunky Controls for the Sweet Dopamine of Art Chores

Fighting with the default keybinds just to pick up a cardboard box shouldn't be the hardest part of a cozy game, but having E set to interact and R to rotate by default is an absolute crime against ergonomics. I had to immediately remap that nonsense to left click and scroll wheel before my hand fell off, yet somehow, despite the clunky start and a classical music playlist so short it drove me absolutely bonkers after forty minutes, I couldn't stop. There is a deeply stupid, hypnotic trance that takes over when you're wading through the mess in Cleaning Up The Puzzle Gallery. You start off just mindlessly sorting garbage, and suddenly you're squinting at fifteen slightly different shades of Mondrian red, losing your mind because you actually started recognizing the brushstrokes of Lautrec and Degas without even trying. The real saving grace of this whole chore-simulator is the custom picture uploader, which let me bypass the standard art entirely and spend hours sorting high-res stupid photos of my friends' pets. It’s total brainrot, sure, but damn if it isn't the most relaxing way to waste an evening when you just want to turn your brain completely off and organize things.
