The Sorting Bureau

Released

Apelsinka GamesDiscovered Sep 21, 2026

About the game

A cozy sorting game set in a quiet Tokyo workshop. Clients bring you boxes of clutter: buttons, coins, gears, stamps. Sort them, group them, and put everything back in its place, to satisfying ASMR clicks. No timers. Mistakes cost nothing. Just the joy of tidying up.

Original Steam description

Every Item Has Its Place

A desk covered in someone's life. Vintage buttons, foreign coins, delicate stamps, old gears, and forgotten sweets. Pick up each item and find its place.

Every Material Has Its Sound

Metal clinks. Fabric rustles. Wood thuds. Each item snaps into its container with a satisfying click. The kind of sound you want to hear over and over.

Stories Told Through Objects

Every request comes from someone real. A watchmaker and his gears. A pastry chef and her molds. A manga artist buried in brushes and sketches. They bring their boxes and ask for help. Sort through their things and you'll get to know them a little.

Your Evening Ritual

New boxes show up every morning. New clients, new items, new sorting rules. Some evenings you sort a whole desk. Some evenings you just sit with the cat.
