Garage: Tidy Up! advertises more cleanup skills than one reviewer found

Garage: Tidy Up! advertises several ways to make a cluttered workshop easier to restore. Its Steam description, checked October 9, lists upgrades for carrying, searching, highlighting and movement. Search assistance is a particular attraction if locating the next object sounds less appealing than sorting it.
A dated player account complicates that promise. Hedwig’s October 6 negative review describes “two skills: walk and carry” and criticizes slow progression. Steam recorded 296 minutes at review. The criticism concerns the whole experience, including its visual setting and sorting tasks; it is not a recommendation with one isolated complaint.
That is a narrower finding than proof that the current store description is false. The reviewer’s build and progression stage are unknown, and the later store check cannot establish whether an update or further progression explains the difference. No current menu was tested, and a patch history could not be verified.
The underlying attraction remains zone-based workshop sorting: find a misplaced item and return it to the appropriate work area. If that alone appeals, the advertised routine is clear. If search or highlighting upgrades are the deciding feature, inspect the current upgrade menu first. The documented gap concerns what one reviewer found, not what every player must encounter.

One mechanic, the decision it creates, and a little dry humor.
