Re:Store the Record Store is a game about tidying up an indie record store after the owner had to run off to chase down his escaped monkey. Featuring over 1000
Re:Store the Record Store is a sorting game from Double Jump Games, set in a cozy indie vinyl shop. It released on Steam on 20 August 2026 at $5.99 (15% off).
A monkey did this
The premise is the kind of nonsense a sorting game benefits from. Jack’s monkey — named after Jack himself — has escaped its holdings and thrashed the store, getting into all 20 genres of vinyl and throwing hundreds of records and jackets everywhere.
Your job is to sleeve each record into its jacket and return it to the correct genre crate. That is the whole loop, and it is stated without any pretence of being more.
Over a thousand records to file
The scale is what carries it: over 1,000 vinyl records and jackets to pick up, sleeve and resort into crates, across 20 genres.
Matching a record to its jacket and then to its genre is a two-step sort rather than a simple one, which gives the task more texture than a straight tidying game. Genre sorting also means the player has to actually read what they are holding.
A day-night cycle that changes the room
A day-night cycle alters the shop’s atmosphere as you work. For a game whose entire appeal is ambience and repetition, a changing room is doing real work — it marks time passing and stops the space feeling static across a long session.
The setting is a cozy indie record store, and the game is explicitly described as atmospheric. This is aimed at the same audience as shelf-stocking and organising sims, with vinyl culture as its hook.
What the listing confirms
This is single-player with Steam Achievements and Family Sharing. Controller support is listed as Partial, not full — worth verifying against your setup for a game built on picking up and placing objects.
The build is Windows only, with English and Japanese language support. Steam genre tags are Casual and Simulation. Five store screenshots so far.
Out now at $5.99

If organising sims appeal — and the vinyl framing gives this one more character than most — it is worth a wishlist so the release date reaches you when it lands.
The thing to watch for at launch is whether 1,000 records is enough variety to sustain the sorting, or whether the genres start to blur together. That is the question the demo or early reviews will answer.
Full details are on the official Steam store page.
