Sticky Business

[url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3471052113][h3]Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆[/h3][/url] I had my eyes on this game for a while, and when it went on sale for its lowest price yet, I finally gave it a go. I'll be honest—the first hour didn’t quite click with me. I was even debating a refund. But then one of my sticker combos unlocked a customer story... and just like that, I was hooked. Nearly 10 hours later, I was still at it. The soundtrack is soft and soothing, the stories are heartwarming, and there’s something so satisfying about finding just the right sticker to make someone smile. I started thinking less about aesthetics and more about what would make each customer happy. Mixing, matching, testing out new combos—it's simple, but deeply satisfying. I do wish there was a little more complexity. It would be lovely if sending extra items triggered different reactions or dialogue, instead of just boosting points. And small quality-of-life features—like a “select all” option or alignment tools—would go a long way in making the design process smoother. I didn’t expect the grind, though. The stories wrapped up long before I unlocked everything¹, and my completionist brain winced at the thought of farming points just to buy every last upgrade and sticker. (Thankfully, I don’t have the DLCs, so I was spared some of the grind.) Still, it’s a calm, wholesome experience—the kind of game that scratches that “I want to run a cozy small business” itch without the real-life stress. -- ¹[i]Mea culpa.[/i] I probably should’ve planned ahead a bit better. 𖹭 [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3471052113][u]Click here[/u][/url] 𖹭 to understand the star rating.

It's one of those games, where I do not know how I found it, and why I got it, but I did, and now, 7 hours later, I cannot stop playing it. Such a simple, yet genius idea. I was one of those kids that was collecting stickers everywhere I could. Every store, every chewing gum, every Happy Meal, so many bloody stickers that were too pretty to use. I even wanted to make my own, but I never got around learning to draw, and that wish died together with my childhood. This is the closest I can get to experiencing this again. There are so many possibilities to make a unique sticker, so much creativity given to you, and the art style is so adorable yet special. I made SO many already, and I am not yet done unlocking everything in the store, and I also have so many more ideas for other stickers. There is a story, too, and I loved so many of them. They are short, simple, but they all have some kind of meaning, a satisfying end. DLCs are totally worth it, they add so much more cool art and even more quests, I cannot wait to experience them. This is a complete worth-your-time-and-buck deal. I live in a country that already has cheaper prices for many games, so I do not know how much it is for the general public, but I can say for sure: IT IS worth purchasing it. And I genuinely hope that there will be more updates in the future. You'd think this game is short and you would be done with it quickly, but there is so much to do and so much to create. I love this. I didn't expect it, but I do. Great job. Will be looking forward to other game releases from these developers.

saw this game for the first time ever and for three days it was all i could think about and now that i own it i am becoming consumed with my work and my stickers and my customers and its all i've ever wanted in life. pure bliss.

this game is really cute, but it gets SOO repetitive. you can't really progress unless you make specific stickers. i just wanted to create things i like and ended up making a bunch of stickers i didn't care about to make customers happy. it's not very intuitive to start and can feel frustrating if you just want to create stickers that interest you.

Super fun, super cute. The sticker possibilities are pretty much endless, despite you being confined to the available parts. Lots of cute little stories, but you arent forced to sit through them if you arent interested.

Cute creative game with decent music. If you're going for 100% completion the end does get very very grindy but making a cluster of stickers that all contain a particular category seems to fulfill the non story line orders quite well.

This is a really chill game about making stickers and selling them, it has fun graphics and features, I'd give it a 8/10 overall, really fun!

This game is amazing. The definition of cozy, allows you to go at your own pace letting you put your imagination into ideas.10/10 recommend if you have ever thought of running a sticker shop or want a cozy game!!

I've played for a little bit and I'm already obsessed. The whole game is just so cozy and chill; it's the kind of game I've been looking for for a while. There is one thing that bugs me, though. You can only print one sheet at a time. I think a "Print all" button or something of the sort would be helpful for people with a lot of stickers. Other than that small issue, this is a great well-made game. Totally worth the price.

Great great great Love the mood with cozy soundtracks. Running my own shop with no stressing events! No tax no rental fee…just joking. I played over 70 hours and that means this game just clicked me. Thank you for adding some dlc until now on. I really want to enjoy this game for a long time. Now I’m deeply into collecting 5 stars for each images. So if you are going to add some achievements, plz plz plz add this one. And if you have a plan to add another dlc I need more color at the border. It only have 10 colors now🥹 + Also love this game for having so much images for queer pride. Happy pride month everybody. Love ya🩷🏳️‍🌈

This is a very cozy game. It's a lovely game to play to unwind after a stressful day.

I would recommend if you are creative and are able to combine shapes and colours to make something appealing, otherwise this won't be the most fulfilling game. I must also critizise it for having achievements for DLC. I was trying to 100% the game, when I realized I needed the DLC to do so.

a delight and a joy. i truly recommend the base game to everyone. i'm so glad to have picked this up from a sale. for people concerned with money, i would say while the dlcs are wonderful and add to the game, not having them don't take anything from it. i did play a long while before i picked up any. i was actually pretty amazed at how long the game goes for. i guess you can go on for infinity, but even as i tried ordinarily to progress with the stories, i'm still yet to run out of them. the game is especially rewarding if you try to make something artsy, as seen in the preview pictures. i'm nowhere near as skilled but just putting in some effort immediately makes it worth it. i was also very pleased with the day settings. i chose 'relaxed' and it has been right for me. the customer stories are very secondary, not what i expected when i read about it before playing. but they're by no means bad or even lacking. the business side is priority in all accords. the dlcs are more interconnected and memorable, but while i do recommend the dlcs to anybody who enjoys the game, i want to make it clear that not having them won't lessen the experience. fear of missing out shouldn't be the deciding factor. honestly one thing i wished the game had was for it to tell me what each feature is on mouse hover (as it does with creator and upgrades on the main page). the upgrades page took a while to completely master. mentioning those two points makes me feel like i'm not doing the game justice— it's a [i]very[/i] good game.

Was looking for a cozy game and this one checks all the boxes. It has creativity features, but you can be art illiterate like me and still easily create some cool looking stickers. The game play loop is surprisingly addictive and fun. I was a bit skeptical going into this, but this is a fantastic little game for those looking for a cozy game to kind of zone out on.

overlooked this at first but i regret not buying it sooner didnt even realise how much time i spent playing until my alarm went off

very fun cool and nice no problems and good for kids.

I'm going to start by saying I literally just bought this and poked around. It's fun, it's cute, it's definitely cozy. It would get repetitive fast but it's not supposed to stress you out or anything like that, it seems like a game that you'd use to unwind. The one thing I'd say is it's a little non-intuitive to get started. I played with the tutorial, but because a lot of things (like in the upgrade shop) aren't labeled, you kinda just poke around and do things at random and sometimes it works. Once you get the hang of it for yourself it's smooth sailing, but to start it can be a little confusing.

I'm an artist with an etsy shop irl, so playing this game always makes me giggle because like. This is just what I do already. That being said, it's such a wholesome take on it that I could play it for hours. Creative little outlet, cute little guys, happy little stories. 10/10 cozy experience.

I do [i]really[/i] enjoy this game, [u]but[/u] I have one major issue with it that I hope gets solved eventually. I'm disabled, and I often play cozy games in bed on my MacBook. I do have a Windows gaming PC though, and when I'm able, I like to play games on there for better performance. With most of my cross-platform cozy games on Steam, my progress is saved to the Steam Cloud and I can pick up where I left off, or they have an alternative method, like their own cloud save service or login. This game treats both platforms and both game installs as completely separate. As far as I can tell from my research, there is no way to transfer your save between platforms—even if you were wanting to change from a Windows PC to a Mac and transfer your save file. Clearly, I'm not a game dev. I can imagine why this feature would be low-priority, if even a priority. But I hope you guys consider it at some point! I'd love to be able to play this game more, and not just when I'm in bed!

This game is cozy, just putting together orders and having a successful online business. It satisfies. The DLCs are also quite fun and definitely add some helpful additional content. You can do some pretty cool designs, using shapes and images. I was able to put together some actual stickers that I give to my loved ones. I love that you can download the sticker sheets. You can create, design and print or just play to zone out and feel good. Really fun game to hyper focus and see what you can make. :3

Very fun, very relaxing, absolutely well worth the price :) I would recommend having some sort of folder system, though, just to make scrolling through and locating items a little easier!

As a player of Unpacking and A Little to the Left, this cozy, creative, story packed, and task-completion focused game was right up my alley. With the freedom of lots of basic design options, you can create fun little designs, cute scenes, or silly characters. It appears the current themes available for the base game purchase are winter holidays, halloween, and pride; each with their own stickers, packing materials, and extras :) The only additional thing I would note, though not really relevant to game play, is that for the winter holidays section of stickers, the wrong menorah is used to represent Hanukkah. A more accurate representation of the Jewish holiday would be a 9 branched menorah, where one candle is raised higher than the others. Overall, it's a lot of fun and I especially enjoy the stories told over order notes :3

was looking for games similar to that of unpacking and stuff, and this was one that was recommended. super awesome game to pass time, although it gets repetitive if you play excessively (like i did, haha!) still, i revisit it every few weeks or so to destress or make some fun stickers. very calming and fun!

I love this game, It allows you to be a creative as you want while making your stickers but still having tasks and upgrades to do. Every once in a while they release a new dlc adding more stickers to have fun with. The dlcs have all been a good price. They're very inclusive with their sticker options.

Ultimate cozy game. Just enough room for creativity but not so open ended that you get sticker block thinking of what to make. The designs are super cute. The shop-running aspect is satisfying. Great variety of designs and enjoyed the quest design. Benefits a lot from the QOL updates.

I've recently broken my ankle so I've been laid up at home without much to do until I discovered this relaxing little game and my oh my I can tell I'll be playing a lot of this. You get to design your own stickers and eventually upgrade your shop to have more variety for your stickers and you can even choose what they're printed on like shimmer paper vs white paper. The visual effects of the different stickers are nice! The whole style of this game is cute and charming. I recommend this game to anyone looking to relax and take their mind off things for a while; your sticker empire awaits.

Game is super cute and fun, does not require a lot of effort. Easily can spend a lot of time making silly stickers and organizing them. Definitely something to play if you're interested in easy going, cozy games. I would say this is a similar vibe to Unpacking and A Little to the Left, two puzzle-like cozy games I really enjoyed playing. I don't have anything negative to say about this one!

love it, but i wish there was a grid snapping feature to make symmetrical designs, otherwise its very slay

I cannot say enough good things about this game. It's a super cute, chill, and creative lil' game that makes me happy. I like the music, I like the art, and the sticker creation tools work great! Also, the diverse queer representation has made my heart happy. I have cried queer tears of joy over this game for reals. I am working thru the 3rd DLC now. If you want an affordable, cozy game I highly recommend.

This game is sweet and fun and relaxing, and it's got the same kind of vibes as the CD-ROM games I grew up playing as a kid. Low stakes, but with the perfect amount of structure. Super fun for all ages, and I highly recommend getting all the DLC!

Very cute and awesome game. I love how you can craft endless creative ideas for a sticker and simulate a sticker business by printing packaging and shipping. Highly recommended.

This game is literally so cute and fun omg. I love the different sticker options and making my own stickers and all the customers in the game. Would highly recommended!

One of my fave Cozy Games! I love the inclusivity and LGBTQIA+ visibility! Absolutely Adorable & Addicting! - @EstellaMStone

This is a fantastic cozy game - great soothing music, chill game play, adorable customization, but still has some goals that you are working on. Definitely recommend.

Artsy cozy game, very cute and relaxing. Stickers can be super detailed or simple, and your daily timer goes down when tasks are finished, No Timer! Love it, 10/10. Glad I bought it with a DLC bundle, Living my best witchy sticker life

Been looking for a cute cozy game where I can be artsy! This is so perfect I played for 7 hours and didn't even realize.

this is one of my favorite things to play as of late. there are just so many combos yo make with the stickers they give you! ate down fr

Fun little sticker designing game with a shopkeeping theme. I say 'theme' rather than 'gameplay elements' because the business aspect is extremely toned down in favor of mostly sandbox-like gameplay, which is a good thing in my opinion. What's good is visible in the trailer, so I'll focus on the downsides here. Consider if these are deal-breakers for you: 1. All sticker elements are pixel art, which is well-done but means that using two different element scales in the same sticker results in mixels, meaning pixels of non-uniform resolution. 2. No undo/redo makes it easy to accidentally misalign a random element, especially when working with hollow shapes. 3. There aren't a *lot* of stickers, and the ones on offer are often pretty niche. The shape elements help, but they can only be scaled uniformly, so to make any advanced patterns with them you need to resort to careful cloning and layering. 4. Continuing complaint number 3, the amount of stickers is especially questionable given there are paid add-ons to substitute the selection, and those are (from what I can tell) even worse than the base catalogue. To the developers: I would love to see a way to import or draw sticker shapes, but if this can't be done for monetary reasons, please at least improve the DLCs. Oh, and give the shape elements custom sprites for each scale to remedy the aforementioned mixel problem.

Honestly just so chill and I love that you can save your stickers to use in real life. My daughter adores this game, it's become her like... breath of zen when she gets home from school to decompress from her day.

two hours in and i am absolutely HOOKED. if i were to choose three words to describe this game it would be cosy, casual, and comforting!! it's an absolute gem of a game that's perfect to unwind to on days where you just need to sit back, relax, and let the pleasures of gaming take hold of you. excited to finish the story and try the dlc next! :-)

its an alright game , i remember watching the demos and being really exited ! I'm sure the game is probably better with the demos but in my opinion there is not enough options to create the stickers. I like the points and customization of your store and packaging , but other than the pre-made designs I have no desire to create stickers. The stories can be very interesting yes , but i think the same satisfaction can be met with a TV show .

EDITED: Wanted to add a bit more Depth to my review. Very cute and relaxing! Sticky Business is such a charming little game perfect for easing anxiety or unwinding after a long day. The Gameplay itself is super simple, it doesn't explain much but it was easy to figure out. I do wish there was a bit more content, though. After about 7 hours of playtime, I feel like I’m nearing the end. Hopefully, more stickers or story expansions will be added in the future! I really enjoy the story elements. It’s fun to imagine what the customers might like and pack their orders with love. like giving Hilda the witch a little hat keychain and adding a few extra stickers to make it pretty and match her vibe. I grabbed the game along with all three DLCs during a sale for $13, which felt like a great deal. One of my favorite features is being able to save sticker designs to my computer just in case I ever want to print them out or show them off! Overall, it’s a super fun and wholesome experience. Highly recommended if you’re into cozy vibes and creativity. 💖

Cute relaxing game that allows you to create stickers and to turn your brain off.

This is an incredible charming and fun little game. Nice, chill, and simple gameplay loop that is fun to unwind with. :]

Really cute came with a creative and unique premise, my only gripe is that after an hour or two of gameplay you exhaust all the stories and it gets boring. Otherwise its a fun game

I wasn't too sure about it, but I really like it! This is definitely is a chill, cozy game. So many cute art options to combine and make designs. I love how you can layer and layer to your heart's content. It's a good creativity outlet like many others have said. Then you get to box up the orders just the way you like, with all sorts of box filling. I love adding the little candies and other gifts. I enjoy the little story lines too! Such a cute game.

Sticky Business is such a cute, relaxing little game. The art style is bright, fun, and super charming — it’s just a joy to look at. I had a great time designing my own stickers and getting to know the customers through their storylines. It’s surprisingly wholesome and cozy. Definitely one of those games that’s perfect to unwind with. That said, it can get a bit repetitive in the late game, especially when you’re trying to create specific stickers to finish someone’s story. But overall, it’s a really sweet and creative experience that’s worth checking out if you’re into chill, artsy games.

I enjoyed my time with this game. Creating the stickers was fun. The images are cute and the music is nice. Expect around 8 hours of gameplay (+/- an hour) depending on how long it takes you to get some of the achievements. Note that some achievements require buying DLC. Works fine on Linux with Proton GE.

Overall fun, albiet a bit tedious. A good game to zone out to in short stints before taking months off of it. I could see players more creative than me having way more fun with it than I do, but overall it's a fun game.

I might just be getting started in game still, but Sticky Business and the DLC has been such a cozy and creative little escape to play on the Steam Deck.
