When One Clipped Potion Bottle Ruins a 1048-Item Run

Staring at a heap of virtual magic junk on a digital floor shouldn't feel this much like a drug, but here I am, completely hyper-fixated on sorting every single tiny bottle into its proper place. There’s this weird, almost trance-like state you fall into with Shelves and Sorcery: Tidy Up the Enchanted Shop where the world just melts away, and all that matters is making sure the Hearth & Barrel looks pristine. That is, until you hit 1047 out of 1048 items because some stupid potion bottle clipped straight through the floorboards and ruined the entire run. I almost threw my mouse out the window, especially since I was playing on no-magic mode which already drags the pacing down by limiting your carrying capacity to a miserable five items. Still, the developer actually patched in an item recovery feature almost instantly, which is a level of respect for the player's time you rarely see anymore. Even when the repetitive pickup noises got so grating I had to mute the game and put on my own music, I couldn't stop. It’s a dumb, mindless loop of cleaning up after virtual wizards, but my brain absolutely demanded I finish every last shelf.
