The Auto Sort Is Broken

Set in a universe parodying poorly managed MMORPGs, even the inventory sort feature has stopped working. It's now up to you to organize the players' messy bags and handle their occasional complaints.

About the Game

Gameplay

The Auto Sort is Broken, and it's now up to you to take on the task of organizing players' inventories.

The objective is simple: group identical items to organize the inventories and earn your reward!

Now that players are coming to your shop, you'll hear plenty of stories about the struggles of typical RPG/MMORPG players, such as pay-to-win mechanics, unbalanced classes, and much more.

Organizing inventories may seem like an easy task, but as players progress through the world, increasingly chaotic bags find their way into your shop—along with impatient adventurers.

The coins you earn from organizing inventories can be spent on secret achievements that unveil the story of the RPG/MMORPG world—a place where the developers seem to care only about profit.

Features:

  • Over 80 handcrafted inventories waiting to be organized.

  • Relaxing music and custom sound effects designed exclusively for the game.

  • Sharpen your spatial skills to find the optimal organization for each inventory.

  • Enjoy the humor as players vent about the typical issues of MMORPG games.

  • Follow the story of an MMORPG dying due to the greed of its developers.
