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.

I really don't care about the negative reviews for this game... some of them don't know the meaning of coziness and just shutting off your brain to relax... it is SUPPOSED to be repetitive, it's SUPPOSE to just be sorting and have background noise. like, yes, it is click heavy and i hate that, but i don't mind this game. so those giving it a thumbs down just like more challenges...

"Repetitive = bad" they say. I have to agree, the game is repetitive but that doesn't make it bad. The repetitiveness is kinda the point here, no? You sort some, take a break, return to the real world duties and then come back to sort some more. You are not supposed to inhale the whole game in one go. Instead, digest it slowly. If you do that, I am sure you will get much more joy out of this game.

I want to thank the game's creator for making this game for me personally. Do you like to sort things? Then wowee this game will make you super happy. I don't suffer from autism, I enjoy every minute of it.

Empty your head, fill up all the little boxes with all those little things. The artwork is cute, very Japanese, and relaxing. It can get a bit repetitive, but it's really nice for giving your brain a rest.
