About this game
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 where it belongs.
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 piece together their stories.
Your Evening Ritual
New boxes show up every morning. New clients, new items, new sorting rules. Your quiet evening never runs out.
