The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
What the game is
Deleted Wiki: Clean Up the Lost Files is a cozy incremental sorting game released September 30, 2026 at $3.59.
The setup: at 3:12 AM on 14 March 2007, a user called Nullbane emptied the Item Vault of a fan wiki covering the 2004 MMO Plains of Embercraft: Online.
Nothing is actually gone - every item is still in the deletion log, waiting for someone patient enough to put them all back. That someone is you, the new Moderator.
How sorting works
Drag items out of the Trash onto seven Category folders - Weapons, Armor, Consumables, Materials, Skills & Status, Interface and Curios.
Sort each category into sub-categories, then drop each item onto its exact row to fill it.
Every item earns Sorting Points; completing a row earns a Completion Point that buys the strongest scripts on the wiki.
The story layer and who it is for
Wren runs the wiki and writes userscripts instead of sorting - your points buy multiselect, pulling scattered copies together, and eventually SortBot and AutoRestore.
Your talk page carries updates from The Embercraft Herald, guild drama and extremely legitimate offers from extremely legitimate companies.
It suits players who like relaxing incremental sorting with a warm, comedic narrative rather than pressure (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-01).
