Filing Cistem

Filing Cistem is a game about putting things into boxes (or, more accurately, tubes). You work in a government office, where your job is to sort paperwork into "male" and "female" - all day, every day. Now get to work.

Click and drag objects into one of the tubes to sort them. Press Esc to bring up the pause menu.

This game was a collaboration between a group of queer friends. We started working on it in Spring 2021, inspired by (although not an entry to) the Search for the First Cisgender Protagonist game jam. After a long break, we finished it off in Spring 2022.
