A cozy sorting game set in a quiet Tokyo workshop. Clients bring you boxes of clutter: buttons, coins, gears, stamps. Sort, match, and piece everything together with satisfying ASMR clicks. No timers. Mistakes cost nothing. Just the joy of tidying up.
You run a small sorting workshop on a quiet edge of Tokyo. Clients bring you boxes full of their lives — a watchmaker's gears, a botanist's pressed flowers, a grandmother's kitchen treasures. Sort through the clutter, find where everything belongs, and piece together the stories hidden in their things.(Storyline via IGDB)
