About The Sorting Bureau
The Sorting Bureau is a sorting game set in a quiet workshop in a Tokyo neighborhood. You unpack boxes of personal belongings and find a place for each item on desks arranged around different themes. New boxes arrive every morning, bringing new clients, items and sorting rules.
Clients and their stories
Each request comes from a client with a story of their own. You sort a watchmaker’s gears, a pastry chef’s molds, or a manga artist’s brushes and sketches, getting to know each person through their belongings.
Sorting at your own pace
There are hundreds of tactile items across dozens of themed desks. There are no timers, penalties or scores, so you can sort a whole desk or spend an evening sitting with the cat. The quiet room remains there when you return.
Materials and sounds
Each material has its own sound: metal clinks, fabric rustles and wood thuds. Items snap into their containers with a click, as part of the game’s ASMR sound design.
