Apelsinka Games · Aug 21, 2026

About this game Read the full 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.

Features

  • Sort hundreds of tactile items across dozens of themed desks
  • No timers, no penalties, no scores. Play at your own pace
  • ASMR sound design: every material sounds different
  • Charming clients, each with their own personality and story
  • A quiet room that's still there when you come back
  • A cozy workshop tucked away in a quiet Tokyo neighborhood
