Boxes of other people's clutter
Clients bring you a desk covered in a small life: vintage buttons, foreign coins, old gears, delicate stamps, forgotten sweets. You pick up each item, group it by kind, and slot it into its container with a soft click.
Every box belongs to someone — a watchmaker, a pastry chef, a manga artist buried in brushes — and sorting through their things tells you a little about them. New boxes and new sorting rules arrive each morning, across dozens of themed desks.
An evening ritual with no rush
There are no timers, scores, or penalties for mistakes. You sort a whole desk some evenings, and on others you just sit with the cat in your quiet room.
Metal clinks, fabric rustles, wood thuds. The hand-drawn workshop stays colorful and calm, tucked in a quiet Tokyo neighborhood, and it is still there when you come back. Good for winding down, one box at a time.
Good to know before you tidy up?
What do you actually do from box to box?
You point, click, pick up items, and place matching things together — coins with coins, molds with molds — until the desk is clear.
Can you play it in short sessions?
Yes. The structure suits it: one box makes a tidy little session, and the workshop waits for you. Some evenings you clear a full desk, some evenings you stop early and keep the cat company.
