A satisfying file-sorting simulator set in a retro computer. A short-circuit scattered thousands of files across the family PC and it's your job to tidy it all up. Drag files to their proper places, relax to atmospheric DnB music, and collect tools to help organize everything to satisfaction.

About the Game

C:\ > Immersive_File_Sorting_Simulator <

It's 1998 and lighting hit some family's PC. Every file survived... just not in the right places. It's up to you, the IT professional, to put it all back.

Navigate ~3,000 files across a deep, branching tree of folders, each themed around which files belong there. Games in games, taxes in taxes, and "homework" in homework.

D:\ > Take_Your_Time <

  • Cozy and satisfying, take as long as you need

  • Light detective work as some files are more obvious than others

  • Tools are buried in the mess, dig them out to help you sort and file with ease

  • Sometimes things just go in the trash

E:\ > Choose_Your_Era <

  • Pick from 3 themes: Cleaner 98, Cleaner XP, and iCleaner

  • Relax to a 90's-inspired liquid DnB Soundtrack

  • Collect music also buried within the files to play on the media player and visualizer

F:\ > Ways_To_Play <

  • The main campaign is single player, with the goal of putting away ~3000 files

  • Each campaign is procedurally generated, so no two hunts are the same

  • There is also an abridged Speedrun Time-Attack mode with a leaderboard
