Can't see the anything @ the link

You might want to make a download version because web build is kind of laggy. I tried to stamp letters but nothing happened. Also it says: "right click to interact" but nothing happens either, when I right click on anything. The idea and music are fun.

EDIT. It worked fine now :D It was fun! Cool liquid effect!

treenut 2025-10-22 12:53

@colin-doherty @zimny11 both of those should be fixed now. took some time, sorry. and thanks for playing :)

Nice entry! For some reason, I am really bad at that job, but I appreciate the brain jogging. I hope you find the time to add some sound effects for the stamp and maybe one for picking up and dropping the letters, as that would really elevate it. The music is nice and did not get too repetitive for the playtime (and I took quite a while). Other than that, I can definitely see how this could be developed into a longer experience with a deeper meta plot running in the background.

Had a fun time, it reminded me of papers please but like cozy. I didnt fully grasp how the rare stamp mechanic worked though, I reread the tutorial you get twice but I remained confused, Maybe some visual examples would help for people who are smooth-brained like me xD, but I still enjoyed my time with this game quite a lot

treenut 2025-10-23 21:59

@jim-jagers glad you enjoyed it. you have to left click to lift and right click/space to open the book. then you can see what you need to collect. drag the stamps you have onto the book to mark them off

I ran into a bug where stamping the top letter in a pile stamps through all of them, and it got me fired :( I was just trying to be more organized.

Other than that, I really enjoyed this game! It felt complex enough to be interesting, but not overwhelming. I'd totally play a longer version of this.

treenut 2025-10-23 22:56

@tetrapteryx thanks for playing, we just played yours too <3 sorry about that bug, layered collisions are hard lol

This was so relaxing 😊 Lovely art style and music choice

leo115 2025-10-24 00:45

Loved the concept but I'm running into an issue on the web build where the stamps are not doing anything, placing them down on a letter doesn't seem to leave a mark so I cant progress

treenut 2025-10-24 00:49

thanks for playing @wormkingboo and @leo115 <3 you need to press right click while lifting the stamp to actually make a mark, otherwise you're only placing it back on the table

I think this is the best 'relaxing' game I played. Except, I guess it was not full relaxing as I got fired numerous times for screwing up. To make it a bit more less relaxing and up the ante, perhaps a time limit.

Like a much less stressful and dystopian Papers Please. However, I've found the stamps don't do anything on the web version.

arkadi-voronchenko 2025-10-24 08:39

Lol I get fired so many times before my first successful day! )

darianifakina 2025-10-24 10:25

Great art and vibe, love it!!!

macron 2025-10-24 10:51

I think I've encountered a bug? I've replied the day three times, but every time I got one of the rare stamps missing - I don't know if it's because of some tutorials/letters I've missed (I've had two letters to me in total), but I wasn't able to progress further

Zrzut ekranu_20251024_124619.png

Other than that, it was relaxing, liked the mechanics, though I'd like an ability to correct mistakes, etc. in a case I put a letter in a wrong place (and not finish the day), to be able to take it out rather than needing to just restart the day.

eaglez 2025-10-24 10:51

No way I got fired the first day :sob: , love the concept!

skoufakis 2025-10-24 10:57

Took me quite a while to understand the controls :p but when I did i had really fun. Love that you had to remove some stamps to collect them. Did this as a kid so it felt super nostalgic^^

treenut 2025-10-24 11:03

@runningopenloop a time limit was actually in the original scope, but i didn't manage to add it, well, in time :) thanks for playing

treenut 2025-10-24 11:06

@macron starting on day 4 at least one of the stamps in the book won't be on letters, you only have to collect those that are available. error correction is a good idea for the boxes, might be hard for stamps though lol thanks for playing :)

@treenut Zrzut ekranu_20251024_130854.png Zrzut ekranu_20251024_130915.png It doesn't matter if I put all the stamps in, or just those requested, I get this :< EDIT: Same thing happened after refreshing the game and playing back to day 4 :< EDIT 2: You could always glue the stamps back on, to correct the mistake!

treenut 2025-10-24 11:24

@macron aw dang, yeah i just got that too. that must have snuck in at the last minute. thanks for reporting o7

macron 2025-10-24 11:27

@treenut Feel free to tag me when you get it fixed ^-^!
