Recently, there has been a wave of titles themed around 'moving,' 'sorting,' and 'organizing.' There is something oddly satisfying about scrubbing a room clean, tidying up, and categorizing items. For those who find joy in such tasks, a new title launched on June 23: the logistics simulation game, 'Ship, Inc. - Cozy Shipping Company'.

When you first jump in, you are greeted by a grid-lined table covered in boxes and a heap of random items. The goal? Pack orders correctly, seal them up, and dispatch them via truck. The ultimate objective is to earn enough daily wages to buy your own home. Sounds simple enough, right? Think again.

As the title 'Ship, Inc. - Cozy Shipping Company' suggests, the act of 'sorting' is paramount. You are inundated with boxes containing a chaotic mix of goods. You must check each order list—for example, one might demand pyjamas, a hard hat, and a magnifying glass—and pluck the correct items from the clutter to pack them into the right boxes.

Packing itself is a chore. You must add padding, slot the items in, seal the box, apply tape, and write the address on a sticker. Fragile or hazardous items require bubble wrap and specific warning labels. As the difficulty ramps up, you will face strict time limits, and things get truly bizarre when radioactive materials like uranium or plutonium appear, requiring you to file official reports.

The game is filled with granular processes designed to test your patience. Some items, especially clothing, arrive filthy and must be cleaned by hand. Packing materials and tape must be manually clicked and dragged, and if you leave them in the wrong spot, you will waste precious time hunting for them. Once a task is done, you even have to feed the order form into a shredder to clear your workspace.

The biggest headache? If you pack an item incorrectly, you have to reverse the entire process to fix it. This means peeling off stickers and cutting tape, which wastes both time and consumable resources. Failing to follow instructions or neglecting warning labels results in heavy fines. Staying calm under pressure is the only way to survive.

Once the shift ends, you can spend your earnings. The 'Law Office' offers certificates like 'Divorce Papers' to skip utility bills or 'Consumer Protection Law' to waive a daily packing fine. The shop sells essential gear—boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and safety labels—which you must restock regularly, or work grinds to a halt.

At the start, only 'Fragile' stickers are available. You have to buy others, like 'Flammable' or 'Heavy,' with your own cash. If you miss a label, you pay the fine. Meanwhile, daily costs like groceries and rent loom; three missed payments, and it is game over.

There are other quirks, too. Sometimes you have leftover items even after fulfilling an order. These can be sold to a shady black-market dealer for some pocket change. And, occasionally, a cat will jump into a box while you are packing—at which point you have no choice but to 'donate' that box to the cat.

As of the 7th, 'Ship, Inc. - Cozy Shipping Company' holds a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam with 84% approval. Players joke that the protagonist is clearly not cut out for a real warehouse job, though many admit it is surprisingly addictive. Some have noted the four-hour campaign is a bit short and the game suffers from occasional bugs.

Elsewhere, the first week of July saw several F2P releases. The PC version of 'Blue Archive' launched to 'Very Positive' reviews, the mecha combat game 'Mecha BREAK' is sitting at 'Mixed,' and the Chinese action MMO 'Aura Kingdom: Impact' is currently 'Mostly Negative.' Additionally, the dragon-raising sim 'Draprinn' is 'Very Positive,' and 'Princess Maker: Echoes of Another World' has reached 'Mostly Positive.'
