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Originally made in 72h for Ludum Dare 53, everything from art, audio, programming etc.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.

Peggys cove? i literally used to work at the restaurant there lol

the mac file is detected as a broken app :/// 

That’s a sequoia-specific signing issue – the file is not actually broken, mac is just being dramatic

We’re currently testing out some workarounds, but in the meantime, the easiest way to get around that is to download/play through the itch app

(1 edit) (+1)

yea, it's what i do nowadays anyway. although, even executing it from terminal doesn't seem to work, and that's usually ok for other itch games w/o needing the itch app. it's working perfectly fine now tho

maybe im dumb but i dont understand this game at all 

sob :=(

Are you planning on adding more stamp collection categories? I've been using the spare pages for extra storage so i have literally every stamp ive seen collected in my book. I know there are some bugged missing stamps but I can't find *any* of the winterfest ones. also I've found a couple of other bugs, which ill leave in reply to this comment. overall GREAT game, im totally addicted and i cant wait to see what you do with it :)

(4 edits) (+1)

when trying to pick up items using touch screen, they all stack and you cant put anything down

you usually cant put the shiny sticker in the collection book

(+1)

Thanks! :) Yep, more stamp collection categories to come, with plans for more unique pages and puzzles

Winterfest stamps are currently bugged – we’ll upload a fix very soon

Unfortunately that touch-screen issue has been on the back burner for a while, but we’ll get around to it eventually

The shiny sticker: assuming this is about the secrets collection, each slot only accepts one unique stamp, specific to the secret uncovered

(+1)

What is the bgm?

It’s original music we wrote for the game!

Amazing! The song is beautiful and very therapeutic. Will it be available on Spotify or Youtube in the future??

(+1)

man theres already so many fun easter eggs and i havent even started the game!

(+2)

wait i just realised it gives them a middle finger when you try to return the package XD

(+6)

This is extremely addicting and chill. I really appreciate the lack of any timer. This was a delight and the only reason I have to stop is bc I have work to do :p

(+3)

Do you have any plans for a Steam release?

(+3)

yes! and lots of plans for more content/expansion

(+2)

i love this game to bits and pieces, its so cute and cozy

Ooh man somehow I unfollowed digitarium and didn't get the notification that this game updated!! I was so excited about the stamp collection too, I was looking forward to it and wondering when it would come T-T

But! No matter!! Fortunately for me I saw the update NOW and that means I spent all of yesterday sorting stamps <3 Did choose to start a new game and loose all of my beautiful halloween stamps bc I was worried about the backward compatibility, but ah well I will get them back eventually. And I love the stamp book so much it's so cute. I love the birds being named! and the mechanic where you get a new page/collection after completing a previous one, that's really satisfying too.

Now I wonder how to get the stamps I'm missing, though. I still need a 4$ bird stamp that I've never seen, and a handful off the misc ones. The newspaper said something about a stamp competition, maybe that will eventually unlock more..?
And I'm missing two of the rare 75c stamps, too, no idea where to look for these. Would love some hints for both the big bird stamp and the 75c ones if anyone happens to see this comment :3
[EDIT: I'm a dummy about the 75c stamps just figured that out xD Still don't know what big bird I am missing though! And one of the geometric ones too.]

Anyway thank you for the update it makes me really happy. I added some blank pages to my stamp book so i could do "aesthetic" stamp collections (I have a maritime themed page with all the fish and boat stamps and the anchor <3) and I'm having a grand time. I might need a stamp trash can though my poor desk is getting very cluttered bc I keep buying all the packs in hope of finding my elusive missing stamps xD

(+1)

Thanks! A couple of those missing stamps are bugged (apologies) -- we should have a bugfix build up very, very soon! <3

(+1)

fun game thanks 

(+1)

The game has personality and it's fun! Nice art

(+2)

Heyyy great game I absolutely love it! However I am facing one issue where when I purchase extra routes I don't think it gets fully reflected as at the end of the day I am being fined for wrong destination. Other than that this is such a fun and relaxing game

Thanks! Not all ships go to all the stops on the map -- make sure you're matching the route flag colour (top left corner of the blueprint roll) to the one on the map when determining which blueprint the package can go on.

(+2)

I'm obsessed with the game. Only problem is, when I quit the game I'm losing the last day I play BUT I only played from browser, so, maybe it can solve if I download the game. (And even if every other day looks like almost the same with eachother in endless mode, I remember all the details from the previous day and don't want to play it again: This game is strategical at some point, I like to try hard to fill the spaces in the ships most efficient ways. Hahaha (And I lost a precious cat stamp from my collection because of this saving problem. :( )) 

I regret that I used one of the rare 75 Cents stamps on an envelope before I had the stamp album. -the first one which layed under the weighing machine- I wonder if there is a change to find it again. Also I'm so excited for finding two other 75 Cents stamps I didn't find yet.

I really hope that you are still working on the game, I would play it until forever if it could get more complicated day by day, like in "Papers, Please". However, maybe it's better without getting so complicated, so chill right now. I would buy this game. Thank you so much. <3 

(+1)

The game only saves at the start of the next day, look for the saving icon on bottom left corner of the screen! If you quit at any point before that, even in the shop phase, it won't save that day's progress. Hope that fixes it!

(+1)

Loving the new stamps and book collection quests!!

(+1)

this is so fun and underrated!

(+3)

Really enjoyed playing this. 

I did half expect one of the packages to be a bomb, so far no bomb. 

It is like a chilled Papers Please but not necessarily easier. I lost due to ending up having too many unsent packages at the end but I am ready to try again!

(+2)

I love this game! It's very Canadian, from the place names to the absolutely beautiful stamp art. It's also the only place I've ever seen my obscure French-Canadian surname in the wild, save for the back of a Leafs player who got sent back down to the AHL before I could even decide if I was going to lie and tell people we were very distant cousins. I took a screenshot of the package with my name on it and sent it to family, and they were very excited!

My only complaint is that there are a few package shapes that are really tricky if not impossible to attach large stamps to. There's been one package I ended up refusing because I couldn't attach a $4 stamp and didn't have enough smaller ones to add up to $4. 

Also, placing stamps in their designated spots in the collection book takes more precision than I expected. I'm using a laptop track pad, and sometimes I have to try a few times before I can get the stamp to "stick." Is that intentional, to mimic the way you'd be careful when placing a physical stamp in a physical collection book? If so, it's a very cool detail! If it's technically a bug and not a feature, I think it's one worth keeping :)

Aw, happy to hear! Thanks for the feedback <3

(+2)

Very good game :3

(1 edit) (+4)

i seriously adore this game!! the art is so charming and the gameplay is really relaxing but still engaging enough to keep you hooked! the update with the collections book (and all the new stamps!!!) has been so fun, this game's all i've been playing the last couple days. i've found all the secret stamps too, except for that lower left one (i have seen the hint comment, and i am working on it! thank you for giving us sillies who didn't think of that a little nudge :]) edit 9 mins later: found the last secret stamp! what timing hahahah

i only have one tinyyyy suggestion(/plea): the hockey stick packages are juuust not wide enough to fit the $4 stamps on them T-T it's a matter of pixels! maybe, possibly, in the next update could you make them fit, just for convenience? this is very minor, i love the rest of the game and i will continue to excitedly keep up with development <3

(+2)

OH IM ADDICTED W THIS GAME. 10/10

(+3)

Addicting (and relaxing) game! Superb!

Any tip to get the missing stamps in the Stamp Quest? I’m already on Sep 5 and have a large amount of stamps on the desk… but some of them are eluding me. Is it just bad randomness luck?

Any tip on getting the lower-left secret stamp?

(+3)

It's a combo of bad randomness luck and stamp rarity :) Currently your best bet is to open mystery packs: there's a small chance to spawn off-season seasonal stamps (i.e. halloween) and the pack itself has the highest number of stamps in it's exclusive pool, so it's likely that you haven't drawn every stamp from there yet.

As to the secret stamp: It could take up to a month in game as it's also rng-based, but I'd keep an eye out on the newspaper...
(+3)

Got the missing secret! Thanks!!!

(+6)

This game is absolutely addicting, I've been hooked for months and it gets better with every update. The incorporation of the stamp collection book is a true cherry on top, giving the player something to progress towards once we've got all the upgrades! Please please please support this game, getting new playtest updates always makes my day and they never disappoint!

(+2)

i loooove this game, it's very charming, especially to my ocd brain. 7 day mode was easy enough to pass despite a couple mistakes, and i'm having even more fun in endless mode

(strat note: i think the "complete ship" bonus has been changed to only apply if all the packages in it are going to the correct destination :') )

(+2)

absolute goty 10/10, keep it up

(+3)

This is an absolutely brilliant game. I adore it. 

I've passed several hours this evening happily sorting, stamping and shipping. I've bought all the upgrades, I've been collecting stamps, it's been fantastic. 

I'd be happy to have purchased this on Steam/Nintendo store. It's giving Dredge vibes in the best way. I'll be keeping a close eye on this and on the developers going forward. 

***** 5/5!

(+1)

Nice game

(+3)

i love this game so much! spent way too much time with it

(+2)

when are you guys releasing the next update for the game im so in love with it, as a local from the area :3

(+1)

very soon!

(+2)

Wow. This game is so addicting. At first I thought that I'll just check it out for like 10 minutes and that's it but I got sucked in for few hours. I've never played Papers Please, or any game like that, so I didn't understand the hype around it, but now I get it.

Everything in this game is just well done, UI, sounds, game loop, progression etc. Thanks for sharing it.

(+1)

Is anyone else unable to pay any loan besides the first one in the endless mode or is that supposed to happen? If not for that, this game is amazing!

That's a bug! We have it fixed for the next update, should be out soon

(+3)

Very excited to see a Papers, Please-like with a cosier atmosphere! Excited for the possibility of a story :D

(+3)

Love this game, the idea is clearly inspired by Papers Please but the tone is way different, and the UI is sooooo well done. There's so much room for additional features, I hope to see this updated frequently or get a full release down the line!!

(+1)

a very fun game :3

(+1)

how do i get more stickers

(+1)

Bro,hello, is there a Russian language in the game?

(+1)

I loved it, 9/10

(+1)

wow, nice game!

(+1)

Nice game
