About This Game

LOW VALUE JOB is a dystopian job simulation game. Awaiting you is the ultimate in repetitive labor: sorting scattered parts by type. Bolts of various lengths, nuts, and washers. Your job is to pick them up one by one, observe them, and categorize them. In this dim future, will you immerse yourself in the sheer emptiness of parts sorting?

Features

• Mindful Immersion: A simple parts-sorting action that lets you tune out the world.

• Ghost Presence: In single-player mode, share your progress to feel the faint presence of other workers.

• Competitive Sorting: Online multiplayer for up to 8 players. Compete for speed and precision.

• Subtle Interaction: Send "Deep Breaths" or "Throat Clearing" voice lines to your opponents.

• Office Evolution: Watch your workspace transform as you progress.

The True Ending

The world we offer is an escape from the complex, grueling decisions of reality; a quiet space for those who find peace in quiet, monotonous work. At first, players focus intensely on identifying the parts. As they habituate, their minds begin to wander, creating space for various reflections.

If you find yourself thinking, "I want to do something else," then that is your cue to stop. To quit the game and start something else is the True Ending. Regardless of the number of parts sorted, that person has reached the conclusion.

Who Is This Game For?

The design of this game—requiring players to perform endless, repetitive tasks—is certainly not for everyone. However, I truly believe that the unique atmosphere and the sensations it evokes will resonate deeply with a certain audience.

I highly recommend this game to those who find peace in solitary, monotonous work, as well as those looking for a simple, casual competition to enjoy with friends.

Disclaimer About the Nature of the Game

LOW VALUE JOB is a work of fiction.

Its portrayal of parts sorting as a “low-value” or “meaningless” job is strictly a narrative device within the game’s dystopian setting. We do not intend to diminish or devalue the real-world work performed by professionals involved in parts sorting or related tasks.

The developer has previously worked in parts-sorting roles in a professional capacity and acknowledges that such work is both necessary and meaningful in real-world contexts.

Part sorting is often an undervalued line of work, and I truly hope that affordable tools to support it will become more widely available.
