An indie first-person organizing game about sorting 2,592 movie, game, and VHS cases inside a gloriously messy video store.

Field notes

The stated sorting loop combines physical case handling with clues embedded in fictional movie and game covers, turning genre classification into part of the discovery process. Store Credits are used for four named shift upgrades, while the page also identifies a second VHS shop below the main store and three arcade games. The homepage lists Windows PC, single-player play, English and German support, and a planned October 16, 2026 release.
