Impossible Sorting Game

Take the job. Sort the pile. Try not to give Mister X another reason to write.

Impossible Sorting Game is a first-person physics sorting game about doing one simple task under increasingly unreasonable conditions. Tiny objects are poured across your desk. Read the labels, pick each piece up by hand, and place it in the correct tray.

The trays accept mistakes without warning. Once an object is inside, you cannot pluck it back out: pull the handle and dump the entire tray. The inspection lamp can check your work, but it takes a full minute to recharge. If something rolls off the open edge of the desk, stand up, crawl under the workbench, and fetch it yourself.

Mister X is watching.

Your anonymous client sends every brief, verdict, payment, and insult through a one-way chat. He mocks mistakes, hesitation, unnecessary checks—and success. Somewhere inside twenty jobs and the rubbish they contain, the assignment becomes a story.

What is on the work order

• Twenty handcrafted jobs across a workshop and a warehouse

• Physical sorting with live objects that collide, roll, pile up, and fall

• Everything from salt and screws to keys, stopped clocks, cassettes, rings, and stranger things

• Hidden finds that reveal a story without replacing the central sorting loop

• Standard campaign, focused Audits, deterministic Daily jobs, Replays, and endless Night Shift

• Optional goals, ranks, personal bests, workshop decor, a persistent journal, and 43 Steam achievements

• Comfort options including UI scale, reduced motion, reduced flashing, toggle-drag, keyboard rebinding, and a high-contrast category palette

The controls are clear. The standards are not.
