Peggy's Post
As the new owner of a lighthouse-based post office, it's your role to sort mail, assign postage, and load parcels onto the correct delivery vehicle for shipping. Manage your earnings to upgrade your tools, purchase stamp packs, charter new ships, and above all else, pay off your loan in time -- or the lender *will* foreclose on your lighthouse.
We recommend starting with the 7-Day mode, as it gradually introduces the mechanics. There is no explicit tutorial at the moment, so we encourage you to click around, read the notes, take your time... there's lots of hidden things to discover :) Endless mode has no [some] additional content¹, however it starts with all mechanics available from day 1 -- for the sorting mail enthusiasts!
Originally made in 72h for Ludum Dare 53, everything from art, audio, programming etc. is all done by our two-person team. Currently in active development.

¹ the usage of "no" in this particular case is a poor example of the correct usage of "no", as endless mode does in fact have additional content in the form of a single rule/tool combo, the stamp collections book, and several upgrades boasting costs that surpass the buying-power of a postmaster with less than 7-days earnings, but nowhere near enough content to justify a mode that is endless. So here we are, over-explaining a wildly unimportant facet of a chronically under-explained almost-game-demo.
² whether the item in question performs a "rotate" or "use" is entirely dependent on the specific item and results may vary.

i love this game it's so addictive, relaxing, easy to understand.
reminds me so much of papers please but I love it so so so much
cool
The games really fun and cozy, I really enjoy it!! The art is beautiful and it crates a relaxing atmosphere, from it's perfect art to it's calming music. However, I have some opinions on things that could be improved, mostly for the endless mode. (Sorry in advance for the long text)
Fistly, the loan payment may sound scary at first, but 7 days is more than enough to save up $10. I suggest making it higher or make it grow gradually, because once you get to the second payment you're already able to earn $50 per day.
The next thing I think could be added is if the packages could be "stolen" or dissapear from one day to another if they're left outside the locksmith, like stamps do if you leave them from one day to another on the desk. This could add a "lost packages" fee after a day and also make the locksmith more useful.
Lastly, I feel more events or side quests like the stamp collection could make the game more fun and dynamic. An example could be quests like sending x amount of packages on each route, and an example of an event could be different climates that make more or less people come each day, and these could be predicted with the newspaper. Or another one could be getting different sets of routes each week, putting to use all the nautical flags in the book
These are just some suggestions, so they aren't 100% necessary and the game is already beautiful itself. But I'll probably leave it once I finish the stamp book (or when I get frustrated for not being able to).
Sorry again for the long text and thank you for reading!! (and if you're the dev, thank you for making the game :D )
I tried to download this on IOS but wasn't able to open it because "it needs to be updated"
obssessed with this game... so fun and relaxing
Papers Please lite, but relaxing. You sort mail, pick routes (5–6 total, one random per day), and manage limited transport space. Buffs let you predict next day’s route, add extra routes, or boost vehicle size — but they’re pointless. Why risk holding a parcel for a better route when you can just refuse the client? Loan is easily paid by end of week without touching any buffs. Fines for unsent mail sound scary, but safe play wins every time. Great concept, but the risk-reward system needs real teeth
Are the star stamp and moon stamp supposed to go in a collection?
Very neat game! I enjoyed it thoroughly and I especially really liked the art style. Some of the stamps are so cute.
I love this game. It's easy to play. Although I do recommend having like a home button every after the day? does that make sense.
How do you reject packages? I can't seem to figure it out lol
when you're holding the package it'll explain better on screen but you just have to place the package on the customer at the counter. you cant reject them if the person has walked away already
I haven't updated the game since 1.5.4. Is there a certain order in which I should download the updates, or should I just download the newest one?
Just download the newest one! Def recommend starting a new save though
This game is a lot of fun, at first I didn't really know what I was doing, but I blame my own laziness not wanting to read. After I did start reading it was a lot easier to do my job. This is great!
Is this inspired by peggy's cove?
yes!
That's awesome! Haven't gotten a chance to play it yet, but I'm Nova Scotian so I guess I gotta :P
It’s practically your patriotic duty! :P
i enjoyed playing this, but lowkey it stressed me out
Today’s game is Peggy’s Post! It is a chill game where I buy a post office being run out of a lighthouse. It’s like Papers Please. I have to check, sort, weigh, and send out the packages on time, otherwise I get FINED! I was very tired playing it, so my brain wasn’t exactly working at full power. I still enjoyed playing the game nonetheless. Hopefully, you’ll like watching me play it or listen it in the background. Either way, enjoy!
There's no tutorial? I don't understand what's happening, or what I'm supposed to be doing. I like games like these, but there's just so much you CAN do, and it's unclear what I'm actually supposed to be doing.
skill issue
Literally, lol, but it's just not intuitive to me.
All the gameplay is explained in the book, just read through it and it'll explain pretty much everything
OH. There were a lot of words, and my ADHD brain just said 'nope'. I'll try that. Thank you.
Well, that is on you
Technically, but it also wasn’t clear that there were instructions as it looked like flavor text.
Well, reading usually helps with discerning what the text is
Come on. It's not that hard. You check how much postage a package need, put that on, and put it on the transport. Did you not read the instructions on screen?
is there anyway to make it fullscreen while playing in browser? its just too big for my screen and I cant see the whole screen (or scroll) while I'm playing
we’ll have a fix for that next update!
i loved this game... struck the perfect balance between cozy and challenging. the art is absolutely beautiful!
I have played Peggy's Post for a few months. This game has brought me a lot of comfort and peace, sounds a bit silly but I feel so at peace and "loved". The visuals, the music, the little story, the beautiful world and stamps, everything is so perfect. I look forward to playing your other games, and supporting your Patreon <3
This is so lovely to read, thank you! Hearing that this little game has been a source of comfort and made you feel loved means the world to us. Thanks so much for playing and for the support <3
Excellent game. Had to restart a couple of times because I was missing a boat full of stamps after I made everything fit and rushed to end the day, so a good test of my bureaucratic skills. Glory to Mail-stotzka!
Hi, I think I'm having a bug. The rule for stamping certain parcels keeps giving me 'none' ever since I updated to the latest version. Even on a new save.
At first I thought it was a random option to just levy the rule for one week, but it happened 3 times in a row.
we’ll take a look, thanks for the report!
After playing a bit more I finally got a stamp rule that worked. It took me a couple more ingame weeks for it to happen though, but I'll keep you posted (heh) if it happens again
Played this for hours with the ambience all the way up while listening to Neutral Milk Hotel and Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea by Silver Jews...100% would recommend, awesome experience.

Game so good I've been playing it for 6 hours straight. It's giving "Papers please" but more cozy vibes and less... fascism.
Im afraid I put on some oldies music as ambience and played this game for nearly 5 hours straight. I love this game, its like, perfectly contained. Best use of my day off work I could've found.
Plan to keep an eye on development for this one >:]
I think I've been to this lighthouse. :)
played this for four hours straight best shit ive ever seen
Hi digitarium! I'm a beginner translator interested in voluntarily localizing your game into Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR). If you're interested, I would love to help :)
thanks! we’d love to open it up to community translation at some point <3
One of the best games I've ever played! Truly congratulations on a job well done! I'm writing here because the missing stamps for the collection don't seem to appear anymore (playing endless, arrived at the 3rd of october). And I can't find the 3rd secret stamp (guessing that I have to use the 25 cents dog stamp for a package on Aedan, but i don't know for certain). In any case, great game!
This game will turn me into a stamp collector irl!! Everything is perfectly curated and even though it's very simple mechanics and storytelling I could play this for hours on end.
I do adore this game, but i don't get the route thing, even when i bought more "routes for the day" my packs always goes back as "wrong route" i'm confused...
theres a poster that shows the destinations on different coloured routes, then you match up the destination on the package stickers (second last line) and put them on the corresponding ship/train e.g. all the parcels to new simcoe can go on the green train
Yeah, but sometimes even when it's on the route i get my packs returned, still confused, but thank you so much for trying to help
i deleted my save to start over but i still get the "abilities" from day 2 so i get big packages but not enough stamps so i run out fast...
stamp art is super cute
Super fun! i was stressed the last day since i had sm packages unable to be sent but i cleared my debt with $8 to spare
Everything you need in a cozy game. I've been playing the endless version and I'm only one stamp away from finishing the collection book. I want the stamps in real life to decorate my notebooks!
you and me both honestly :) i may have already sent a few sticker designs in to get printed, you know, for testing purposes…definitely not to cover my water bottle… :3
Open the redbubble shop and my money is yours !!
I love the music
I am obsessed and if there was any full version available for purchase I would have gotten it immediately :)
Nice game! I like the atmosphere.
I also released my first Unity shooter recently: https://joaco2010.itch.io/karsovialast-signal
Any feedback would be awesome.
very papers please vibes
