Absolutely amazing game, it's like papers please but so zen and relaxing, you can really take your time and read through everything and go at your own pace, yet at the same time it isn't mindless or boring, you still need to weigh and reference and work out pricing and stamps, but it's forgiving in that you can restart the day if you mess up (but you'll be locked into any mistakes once you end the way, which adds the challenge element!)
I absolutely LOVE the graphics, they're lovely to look at and the stamps themselves are so pretty, I love the little lake goose one <3 The way parcels shake when you rotate them and how neatly they slot into storage, and the design of the stamp remover and how it makes the stamp flash while steamed is super intuitive!! It feels incredibly well polished and the UI is very smooth to use, the keybinds are especially useful, I use the tab one a lot!!
A little trick I learned: You can use a parcel as a stamp holder, smother it in all the leftover daily stamps and it'll carry them through to the next day! But beware, it'll take a few days to afford the stamp remover, so that parcel will be locked out of action until you scrape together the funds! It's funny because I'm sure it wasn't an intended mechanic, however it still adds to that element of strategy in deciding whether it's worth sending the sendable parcel (especially if it nets you a full ship bonus), or keeping it and being unable to send it for several days- it's fun :D I imagine it may be fixed since I mentioned it, but that's ok c:
More tips:
- Better to send a parcel to the wrong place than not send it at all! The fee is less that way c:
- There's a secret $0.75 stamp under the scale c:
- If you need to turn a thiswayup box the wrong way to get a full ship, do it! The full ship bonus is $5, and the damage fee is only -$0.25 (per square!)
- Better to send a package to the wrong place than be charged for not having sent it! Unsent fee is -$3, wrong location fee is -$0.50 (per square!) ((The biggest parcel at 6 squares is the same fee either way!))
- For the 7 days, it's easier if you don't buy anything that you don't need, e.g. the stamp sorter is useful but not necessary
The only non-intuitive thing I came across was the heavy parcel charge- wasn't sure if that extra fee should be added on in stamps or not! In the end I added it and just prayed I was right, and I was!! Phew =w=
Genuinely heaps of fun, super relaxing to play and the great sound design just adds to that, very immersive 10/10 I haven't even beaten the 7 days yet but I will, mark my words!!!!!!
(P.s. please tell me that little missing doggy in the paper was found :'c I know he's not really real but-! Gah! Someone get Torrent home!!!!!!!)
Edit: WOOOO I BEAT IT!!!! And probably spent like 15 minutes sorting the parcels at the end to try and fit as much as possible- and ended up with $72 so I probably didn't need to spend quite that much time- ah well :D
Edit 2: After a long life of service, my dear circle parcel that I used to store stamps, having stole it on day 1 (it's now Aug 18th), finally gets to retire, passing on the torch to the laminated paper. Goodbye my dear friend <3
And a shoutout to the most perfect parcel I ever did parce:
LOOK AT IT!! The stamps are facing each other and they go so well with the croissant colour of the parcel, and not to mention the weight is 123!!!!!!! Incredible

The world is an infinite wall of white..
