Since purchasing this game, I have played it twice. Once by myself and once with my partner. Not only did I really enjoy it, my partner, who is new to ttrpg, also had a lot of fun using up some of my favorite stickers (he does not collect and yes it was kind of stressful to watch him slaughter a good stack of them).
I have played a number of solo ttrpgs (and written a few). This one with its audio prompts (and yall, the voice acting is awesome!) and using stickers as the primary means of self expression was so innovative. I’ve never seen anything like it. Not only did it make for a unique method of immersion but it also made the game quick and easy. I didn’t have time to (or need to) overthink (which is something I do a lot especially when muddling through creative writing prompts).
Despite the time frame and limited means of expression, the audios and the story style still sucked me in. There was still a story to be told. I still very much a part of that story which had repercussions if I didn’t play my part. This, to me, makes for excellent ttrpg.
Another thing I love about solo ttrpg, or, at least, how I play them, is the creation of a character journal. I tend to make my own journals. Sometimes its a simple book of folded paper with some cardstock or the like as a cover. Other times I go full junk journal creation, and still other times its a mini zine. It all depends on the type of ttrpg. In this case I made a stack of folded paper journals for me and my partner to fill with stickers. The simplicity of the journal creation worked because the addition of the stickers and minimal note taking made for vibrant and loud artistry.
At the end of the game, we both had heft journals despite their length. Stacks of adhesive and colorful imagery made for an illustrated timeline that we then could flip through. Because of our sticker choices, it looked like we had different genres – his was more irreverent horror and mine a sword and sorcery adventure. This difference in genre really showcases how versatile The Sticker Game is. Each person, each sticker selection, can really make so much of a difference. I love that.
(the full review is on my blog damianameade.com but this is the majority of it. It all comes down to the fact I loved this game.
Overall enjoyable. Really liked the voice acting.
One criticism, a large part of my stickers aren't individually cut out, but are on sheets. So throwing my stickers in the air didn't really work for me.
I'd love to see a sequel down the line where the agency has progressed in their tests or even got corrupted in some way. In the similar vein of the games that inspired it, having our handler have malevolent intent could definitely be entertaining.
love the game, the only negative is that the audio files are nit coded or numbered, my player just put them in alphabetical order. I played from the long file but the music brakes were nit there and I had to pause the file every time. This is just nick picking, the game is great and woke a wave of creativity on my and really help me feeling better. Cheers EZ
Thank you so much for sharing all your pictures! That's strange that the audio files weren't coded or numbered for you. They are in every music player we tested, but Windows Media Player tends to want to put them in alphabetical order for some reason. Is that the music player you used? Sorry for the inconvenience.
