About this game

Step into the role of an archive worker and bring order back to a room full of misplaced documents. Open boxes, carry stacks of files, sort them by the archive’s rules, and return every file to its proper place on the shelves.


This is a first-person organizing simulator focused on calm, satisfying work. Learn how each shelf is arranged, keep categories in order, and place documents in the right sequence to restore the archive one section at a time.

Sandbox Mode

In Sandbox Mode, you choose a level from the available selection and receive a series of archive-related tasks. To complete the level and earn rewards, you need to process a large number of incoming documents and place them correctly on the shelves. Some documents are already stored in boxes, while others must be found scattered throughout the location. Before starting, you receive work instructions that may vary from level to level.
Some tasks require sorting documents by date, others by number or category, while more complex levels may require you to organize files using several parameters at once.
As you work, you can track your progress and periodically receive rewards for completing parts of the job. These rewards come in the form of additional perks that can speed up or simplify the process — such as faster searching, quicker document placement, automatic sorting, and other optional improvements that support your preferred playstyle.

Campaign Mode

In Campaign Mode, you go through a series of short sessions structured around working days. Each day introduces new tasks and archive assignments. You will sort incoming documents, find and submit requested files, check and edit records, clean up the workspace, fix mistakes made by other employees, and complete other archive-related tasks.

Features

  • Sort, carry, and shelve documents in a first-person archive workspace.
  • Organize files by category, subcategory, and date as you bring order to the shelves.
  • Take documents from boxes, move them by hand, and place them where they belong.
  • Reorganize shelf rows and improve the layout as the archive slowly comes together.
  • Handle special document requests while continuing your daily sorting work.
  • Enjoy the satisfaction of turning a cluttered archive into a neat, orderly system.
  • Whether you want to relax and tidy up at your own pace or work efficiently to restore order faster, the archive is waiting.
