The Auto Sort Is Broken

About

The Auto Sort Is Broken turns the chaos of cluttered video game inventories into a full-blown farce. You play a fixer in a slapstick MMORPG parody where every character’s backpack is a disaster zone. Your job is to manually sort through piles of mismatched gear, snacks, and random junk while fielding increasingly absurd complaints from NPCs. Click to drag items into order, ignore red herrings, and survive the occasional system glitch that makes the job even harder. It’s a bite-sized loop of frustration and mild triumph, wrapped in a universe where poor design is the main feature. The game leans hard into the absurdity of MMORPG grind, with NPCs who act like they’ve been farming turnips for 40 straight hours. While it won’t challenge your problem-solving skills, the deadpan humor and intentionally clunky mechanics land well for a few hours of oddball fun. Early access players on forums note it’s “like cleaning your friend’s closet, but the friend is a cartoon goblin.” No deep story, no hidden systems, just a silly critique of game design excess, delivered with zero pretense.
