In The Sorting Bureau, managing boxes full of objects is more than a daily task; it's a visual and auditory therapy. The main system involves sorting oxidized buttons, foreign coins, and delicate stamps according to their material and function.

The Apelsinka Games game proposes a relaxing environment where every click has a clear sensory response: the metallic clinks, the fabric whispers, the wood thuds. But this friendly design is not immune to certain technical issues.

Slight mechanical details

The object matching system is what makes The Sorting Bureau stand out. For example, placing a stamp in a metal box and then combining it with other stamps produces a visual and auditory effect that reinforces the feeling of order.

Additionally, the addition of forgotten candies that can be combined or attached to other pieces adds an extra layer of interactivity. This detail turns each round into a creative and enjoyable process.

The game reinforces a sense of order that is addictive, although it is not without small technical flaws.

Small frictions

The game design is compromised by some technical issues. In particular, the lack of options to disable or adjust the ambient sound can be annoying for some players.
