The Sorting Bureau

This game is exactly what it advertise: Sort items into categories. Nothing else. What makes this different to A Little to the Left, this game does not have any puzzle elements. You simply go through the motions of flicking items into their boxes. If you're hoping to get some puzzles, you won't find it here. But if you want to zone out and do some digtal organizing, this game will deliver.

A cosy and relaxing sorting game with lovely ambience and art, and I particularly enjoyed the atmosphere. However, the repetitive, click-heavy gameplay feels more like manual busywork, and the lack of variety, and especially the glitchy and physically tiring controls ultimately make it difficult to recommend. Full review below. I use a plus + and minus - system for how significantly each item improved or affected my experience. As the spicy type of person that loves sorting things in real life, I'll be reviewing this game based on how closely it matches my possibly-too-high expectations. +++ Very cosy vibes. The rain and the sound effects are super relaxing. It has very good non-repeating ambiance; the background sounds could be in one of those meditation apps. ++ The art is good. Simple, but well executed. + There's a pretty satisfying / skillful "flicking" / throwing mechanism, that takes some skill, but it feels a bit out of place in a methodical game like this. - No music. Sometimes it's a bit "too" quiet. - You have a very cute desk and room, but you cannot customise or decorate it. - The "stacking" mechanism is a bit glitchy. About 10 times per level, something would fail to stack, or fall out of the stack. Not a huge issue, you just have to click again, but those extra clicks really add up and create friction in an already very clicky game. -- This feels like it would have been better as a mobile phone or touchscreen game. The controls involve a lot of clicking and mouse movement, which tired out my hand and arm quickly. After about 30 minutes, it became painful to play. -- This is not a puzzle game, I was kind of expecting something a bit more like A Little To The Left. Every level is extremely simple and practically pre-solved, you only need to execute the solution manually. The game will physically prevent you from making mistakes. For example, in one level you must piece together torn stamps. However, each stamp top and bottom fits together with every other piece. The customer somehow tore every stamp in half exactly the same way; which is actually very impressive. Maybe this could be a benefit for younger players to prevent frustration? -- There is not much variety in levels. It feels like every level I'm sorting the same types of objects over and over into the same categories. It has "endless mode" vibes but with no main campaign. --- This is not a 3D physics based game; this is very much a 2D game. What I mean by that is: * You can do impossible things like stack marbles on top of each other unevenly. * You can't pick up the box and shake to make everything even and flat. * You can't sweep up all the remaining identical pieces with your palms. * There are no highlights or reflections. Maybe it's a small thing, but I feel like it's really missing the experience of seeing and hearing marbles rolling around in a cardboard box.

They’re not intended to be objective statements about the game, so it’s perfectly fine if your experience and opinion are different from mine.

If you're buying this game in hopes that it's a puzzle or challenges type of game, then sadly this isn't for you. I find this game being perfect for nights when you can't get to sleep. Being someone who has the hardest time going to sleep, I find this helps me pass out quickly while I wait for my sleeping meds to kick in. The soft sounds each time I pick things up and the repetitiveness of sorting items really makes it easy to calm your mind if it's racing. -The basics of the game is that people send you small items in boxes and ask you to sort them. That's it. Some people have small stories that come with their boxes or send you letters, but this game isn't really a game, it's a vibe. A semi-boring calm one, that is really nice and nostalgic. It sort of feels like cleaning out a drawer that's filled with random stuff. No real purpose other than to keep things organized. :)

Good game, I do recommend it. My issue is the item variety. Buttons, screws, stamps, leaves, candy, paperclips, seashells, pasta, that's roughly the whole catalogue and you'll see all of it in the first few hours. I'd pay for an item pack. As is it runs out of surprises long before it runs out of orders.

Like the concept. The ambient sounds and the game play make for a relaxing game. Definitely a good game if you just want to clear your head and wind down.
