Overview
Welcome to the chaotic world of a retro record store, where the shelves are a mess and the doors are about to open! In Shelf Happens, you step into the shoes of a new clerk tasked with the seemingly simple, yet surprisingly challenging, job of organizing scattered vinyl records. Your mission is to pick up each record, identify its genre by reading the sleeve, and place it in the correct crate. There are no hints or stickers to guide you – your success hinges on your musical knowledge and your ability to read the subtle cues on each album cover.
