Warmboot
Warmboot is a cozy sort 'em up set in the CPU core of a hyper intelligent AI. Jeremy is just trying to go about his day when all hell breaks loose.
Something is hiding in these CPU banks, and the only way to flush it out is to put everything back into its proper place.
NOTE! It's tripped a few people up, so I'll tell you up front: a white light on a placed CPU means it's in the correct spot on the correct CPU bank. Red means it is incorrect.

Nice little game… Definitely in the same current trend of re-sorting a mess… like “Librarian: Tidy up the Arcane Library”. I did really enjoy it. I especially liked that it wasn’t immediately obvious what it was that I needed to do to actually sort the memory. But that it became understandable and obvious as you progressed.
Thanks, Librarian was definitely the primary influence as I'm sure you guessed. I couldn't help but throw some extra narrative on top though :)
Fun game, nice job! I am glad you added the recall abilities lol, I had some get stuck under the stairs but that helped me to get those pieces.
