A Little to the Left

Bought with 50% discount (base game only) Cozy and not too hard puzzle game Nice music and art The cat is cute too

ive seen this game be played online a bunch and always loved how satisfying it was to solve the puzzles. Went through all levels without any hints and so its not an overly difficult game. Super relaxing and satisfying. Would definitely recommend.

Cute little puzzler, the cat is a menace, asmr clicks go brr

i play lots of puzzle games and enjoy them/consider myself skilled at them. some of these puzzles just didn't make sense to me, and even the hints didn't help explain it. the way things don't lock into place can be annoying when you can't figure out the solution, because it becomes impossible to be precise. if you're looking for a cozy, comfortable game (maybe something like unpacking) - this is not that game

Great game. Kitty. Good credits, even the credits are fun. Money well spent.

one of my favorite games, i personally love to replay it even when i know every solution because it's so satisfying, brain go brrrr:)

A Little to the Left is a charming and meditative puzzle game that quietly stands out in the indie space through its subtle storytelling, tactile gameplay, and cozy yet clever design philosophy. Developed by Max Inferno, this game takes an ordinary domestic setting and transforms it into a series of quietly satisfying mental challenges. At its core, A Little to the Left is about tidying up—but beneath that simple concept lies a thoughtful exploration of order, imperfection, and the subtle ways our surroundings reflect our inner lives. It’s a game that turns cleaning into a calming ritual, offering players the opportunity to restore balance to cluttered corners, crooked picture frames, and scattered office supplies with nothing but the gentle nudge of a mouse. The structure of the game is refreshingly minimalist. Each level presents a small visual puzzle—stack books by size or color, arrange fruit by shape, sort paperclips into pleasing symmetry. There’s rarely a timer or pressure; the pace is soothing and self-directed, inviting a slower, more reflective engagement with the world onscreen. What elevates A Little to the Left beyond just a tidy-up simulator is its ability to surprise. Many puzzles have multiple solutions, reflecting the idea that “order” can be subjective. One level might have you grouping objects by size, another by function, and yet another by color, with each valid in its own logic. These flexible solutions give the game a philosophical depth: it recognizes that everyone finds harmony in different patterns. One of the game’s most delightful features is the intermittent appearance of a mischievous cat, who occasionally disrupts your meticulous arrangements with a flick of its paw or a wayward tail swipe. This recurring interruption isn’t just cute—it adds a layer of personality and unpredictability that gently critiques our desire for control. It reminds players that mess and disorder are natural parts of life, and sometimes the act of tidying is as much about process as it is about perfection. The cat doesn’t ruin the game—it becomes part of its rhythm, like a quiet companion that keeps things from becoming too sterile or mechanical. Visually, A Little to the Left is a treat. Its art style is soft, pastel-toned, and hand-drawn, creating a cozy domestic aesthetic that invites players to linger and appreciate the small details. Every object feels familiar, almost nostalgic, as if plucked from a lovingly curated home. The animations are subtle and tactile, enhancing the physicality of the puzzles—you can almost feel the weight of a book or the smooth click of a puzzle piece falling into place. The sound design complements the visuals beautifully, with gentle ambient noises, soft chimes, and rustles that emphasize a sense of calm and presence. Together, the audio and visuals create a mood of quiet mindfulness, making the game feel like a form of digital meditation. The game also includes a daily puzzle feature—The Daily Tidy—which offers new challenges each day to keep the experience fresh and encourage return visits. These puzzles range from quick tasks to more abstract, rule-bending challenges that keep the player’s spatial reasoning sharp and their creativity engaged. While the main game isn’t long—most players will finish the bulk of it in a few sittings—its replay value lies in the multiplicity of solutions and the joy of returning to familiar puzzles with new eyes. That said, A Little to the Left is not for everyone. Players seeking action, narrative complexity, or high-stakes challenge may find its slower pace and low pressure unengaging. Some puzzles can also be finicky in terms of recognizing valid solutions, occasionally requiring trial-and-error even when a player’s logic is sound. However, these minor frustrations are outweighed by the game’s overall tone of encouragement and ease. It's not about being right—it's about finding what feels “just so.” In conclusion, A Little to the Left is a quiet triumph—a beautifully designed puzzle game that blends whimsy, introspection, and simplicity into a comforting and surprisingly profound experience. It’s a celebration of everyday spaces, of order in chaos, and of the gentle satisfaction of aligning things just so. Whether you're a compulsive organizer or simply looking for a peaceful mental escape, this game offers a unique kind of pleasure that lingers long after the screen fades to black. It's a reminder that sometimes, peace comes not from grand victories, but from putting a pencil in its perfect place. Rating: 9/10

The art style is nice, however this is supposed to be a cozy game, why am I feeling annoyed playing it? The game is so picky, like you can't just organize it the way you want (even if it properly fits), they want it in their own way or the game won't register. Also, for any achievement hunters out there, this game will be difficult to get all achievements as you need to buy their DLCs and log in for a consecutive number of days straight to do those achievements (daily tidys is what they're called). The cat in the game is cute but its soooo annoying when he comes in to your screen and mess everything up. Could not find much enjoyment playing this, and the puzzles got repetitive fast, all that was changed was the theme.

So many puzzles and secrets to find, and I love the subtle but inferred plot and setting, similar to unpacking. Awesome graphics, and a cute kitty cat to boot.

it's very fun and relaxing some of the puzzles are kinda challenging for me but overall i enjoy it so much!!

If you like organizing things and puzzles this is your game. It's very relaxing, and fun.

Love this game. Always do a Daily now, and it scratches that OCD itch. Even my non gaming family gave it a try!

the game is super good 100% recommend just one thing though is some of the levels are hard

10/10 game, it's full of fun puzzles and is a great game to play with a cup of tea

I love this game. I've never played another puzzle one like it. It's the right amount of easy and challenging, there's replayability with a lot of the puzzles, I wish I could cheat and go ahead on the daily tidies, I'm assuming you'd have to like change your computer settings lol. The artwork is also very comforting, it has a very scrapbook vibe.

A little to the left is the perfect game for people OCD or people who are perfectionists. It supplies you with infinite puzzles, that when put together completely, lead to a VERY satisfying result. I have played this game every day to help me relax, and it definitely does that. (Spoiler) This game also has a VERY cute cat that you can sometimes interact with, and it always makes my day. This is game is complete masterpiece and I mean it. I would recommend this as a 10/10! It's an amazing game, to be honest.

I really enjoyed this as a unique and highly satisfying puzzle game. It really manages to scratch that tiny OCD itch where everything needs to be as neat as possible, with a little bit of lateral thinking.

Puzzles and collecting achievements. What more to say about this game?

A real puzzle lovers puzzle game. Each level is so lovingly and carefully designed. The solutions are right in front of you if you know what to look for, but there are lots of red herrings to keep it interesting.

Super fun and cute puzzle game. Great for relaxing.

It's such a peaceful, simple game. Just turn on some music and organize to your heart's content. If you enjoy simple puzzle games with unique setups and a calming atmosphere, this is for you.

wonderful game that has some challenging puzzles but is overall relaxing. if you're a completionist, know that you'll have to buy two dlcs to get all the achievements. But if you're just looking for a simple organzing / brain teaser game, then its perfectly fine and fun all on it's own.

A great cozy game for those who like low stress and problem solving puzzles.

A fun puzzle game. Story is a little shortlived but still amazing nontheless.

If you love cats and you love puzzles…this is the game for you!

Love, love, love this game! Even when I've completed the levels, I go back and play again! Obsessed

Honestly one of the best little games I have ever played. I love this cosy little game. It scratches my brain in all the right ways.

I love the feeling of this game. It's very simple but feels quite rewarding. I do the Daily Tidy everyday if I can, helps keep my mind a bit sharp. If you are looking for a cozy game and have a knack for organizing things or tidying up, this is definitely for you.

Fun game. Very cozy. Enjoy the puzzles. Some can be quite a challenge. Sometimes you can solve the puzzle, but not get the credit if it is not set precisely. But that's not very common.

Finished! Feeds my need to sort & fit things together. Sometimes a puzzle game, sometimes a sorting game. Clever little levels, nifty & satisfying.

Positive reviews: Autistic and people with high hattern recognition. Negative reviews: Normal people and people with little to no pattern recognition (dummies). Honestly game does not feel like most of the stupid ass "IM COZY GAME PURCHASE ME SINGLE MOM WITH 3 KITTENS", but rather: -evolution can you give me pattern seeking brain???? +to avoid predators? -yess -Actually plays A little to the left like a bossss excuse the restarted arse joke. to dev reading this, please give option to remove all switch animations in menus "ReDuCeD MoTioN mOdE".

I played the entire main campaign in one go because it was so much fun. Some of the puzzles were more to my liking than others, of course, but I enjoyed the entire experience so much that I immediately got one of the DLCs as well.

Relaxing and zen puzzle game that scratches the organizational itch!

Very calming and relaxing to play when you want to just sit back and enjoy a chill game.

One good game to relax it after a long day! The calm music and sound fx really do put me in a mood as I play this game. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a way to wind down. <3

I really enjoyed the game. Whenever I feel very stressed out and needed sometime to wind down, this is the perfect game.

Very satisfying puzzle game with occasional annoyances from puzzles not completing until you make almost imperceptible adjustments so the game recognises that you found the solution. Highly recommend the archive for people who want extra content. Daily Tidys too but they're just minor variations on the main campaign levels.

One of the most relaxing (even when hard) games i have played the last up date made it feel like a good finishing point and i 100% all the achievements daily tidy was a fun way to continue the game even when u finished the rest of the game and DLC

My girlfriend inspired me to buy this game. It really gets you thinking. A lot of the solutions are quite unexpected and a little obscure lol. It's a great challenge and the stars motivate you to come back and do better.

Pretty enjoyable game- the organization aspect, cute graphics, and nice music all create a pleasant and cozy little atmosphere. I like how the cat interrupts the scenes throughout the game and the different kinds of interactions we get with them! The levels where there are multiple solutions can be a little tricky to get full stars on but that is part of what keeps the game more interesting, in my opinion. Also the controls being so simple makes it really easy to use and play so I can see how this game would be nice for people with a lot less gaming experience- which is perfect for a game that can be quite soothing.

Very cute game for those who like organization and cats! Had a ton of fun playing it with a cup of tea and my own cat intently watching my mouse drag objects around on the screen. Only complaint is that there weren't more levels.

Fun af, really gets you thinking. Can finish the game in one day if you so please. but very relaxing to play!

Good past-time activity, with the main issue being the fact that the levels fluctuate between busywork, to minor puzzles, to figuring out what obscure idea the devs want from you. Not sure I'll revisit the DLC one day, right now I'm done with it - definitely not interested in remembering to launch this every day for minor daily puzzles.

This game helped me through a period of grief, it is simple, relaxing and satisfying. The daily puzzles mean I have a little treat waiting for me every morning!

My autistic wife loves playing this game it helps her so much with her problems. I very much recommend this!!! - husband

A Little to the Left offers a quietly satisfying puzzle experience perfect for fans of organisation and calming gameplay. It was developed by Max Inferno and published by Secret Mode in November 2022. With charming visuals, gentle audio, daily content, and DLC, it's great for short sessions and extended play. It excels when you enjoy some brain-teasing logic packaged in a calming, cosy shell—but be prepared: some levels require exact solutions, which may frustrate players seeking complete freedom. If you love cats, this game is definitely for you. In some levels, you have to organise and clean up the mess that your favourite little fur ball has left. The art style is not bold but somewhat calming with its pastel colours and no harsh outlines. The background music in this game is rather calming. Pros: Cosy game with a unique art style The puzzles vary in difficulty very detail-oriented Most PCs will allow you to play this game Cons: Some achievements are somewhat "grindy" Conclusion: I enjoyed playing this game, but the achievements were rather tedious. I would highly recommend this game to any cosy puzzle lover. 9/10

Cute and cozy little puzzle game, with some easy achievements and some more difficult and time-consuming ones. You do need the DLCs to 100% the game, this will not be a quick and easy 100% unlock game. The puzzles vary from quite easy requiring little thought to some that require quite a good bit of thinking, the majority being somewhere in the middle. I have enjoyed what I have played, but I am unlikely to ever put the effort needed into trying to 100% the game. But it is still a nice quiet break from daily stresses and it is well suited to shorter playing sessions for those who do not have the time to sit and play a game for 5 hours without stopping. The Daily Tidy puzzles are a nice quick 1-10 minutes max, perfect for a quick break. Well worth buying if you enjoy relatively simple puzzles and are familiar with what being owned by a cat is like.

Takes some tinkering to solve the puzzles sometimes, but they're all enjoyable and good for when you want a little challenge but also something cozy and cute.

One of my favorite games of probably ever, nothing I've ever played has scratched the same itch this does, so I'm a little sad to see this Packed update is the finale (yes I WILL be holding my breath hoping for another paid DLC update someday), but it was an incredible experience with a wonderful soundtrack and art style, and I wish the devs nothing but the best for their next venture
