I haven't finished the game 100% yet, but I just played 4 hrs! Honest opinion, this isn't for everyone. It is a LOW stim game with a lot of repetition. I love it because it looks great, and because I can play it for hours to wind down. If you like cute, zen, and a little creativity you'll love it.

Damn bro, these reviews need to relax, it's just a simple game it ain't that deep. Nice stickers and the gameplay loop is fine, y'all know what you signed up for lmao. It's good to unwind, relax and play in a predictable environment. It's not something spectacular, but it's alright, it does what it's meant to do which is be cozy and relaxing.

Rogue Duck Interactive are a developer/publisher to avoid, it seems. Cute ideas but games lack any semblance of soul, just churned out en masse to turn a quick buck. This particular game really wants to be Sticky Business adjacent, but the developers seem to not understand at all what made that game fun. There's plenty of bad prompts which I can't tell if are bad machine translation or AI produced. Edit: refunded @ …

I really wanted to like this game. I went in hopeful for something similar to Sticky Business (though nothing can truly replace my love for that game). And while there are a few comparisons, there simply isn't enough variety in Carefully Stamped to keep things engaging. It only took me about two hours to unlock the easy achievements, and after that I felt completely stuck in a grind. Just earning money to eventually …

A game that attempts to be similar to Sticky Business but with post cards and just fails spectacularly, I think. Sure you can design some cool postcards, but everything else around that just feels uninspired, pointless, boring, repetitive, and like there wasn’t much thought or love put into it. If you care about achievements, the "Philatelist Extraordinaire" achievement is just needlessly grindy, as it adds nothing …

Players who liked Carefully Stamped talk about cute and cozy art style and music; those who didn't talk about repetitive and lacks content after a few hours. Which matters more to you?

60 of 136 · most liked firstI have played a few of this developers games now as I am very much pulled in by the graphics/art style and overall "chill" vibes of the games they have to offer. I like them for the most part they're affordable, simple and fun but... it's becoming very clear that the devs really are more "quantity over quality" and I'm starting to feel like by purchasing these games, I'm very much just contributing to a cash grab scheme. The games are always buggy at some point with a few never even being…

Collect stamp packs to grow your collection…opening the packs is addictive! Gameplay & Settings This game plays a lot like Sticky Business where you design post cards and sell them to customers. Some orders will have specific requirements but overall still gives you a lot of freedom in the design part. The game starts off letting you choose between story mode or sandbox mode (no customer…

neutral · AI labelView post →If you have played this developer's other games (ship inc, lost but found etc.) then you have essentially played this game its more of the same thing; grind to unlock everything, purchase a new home for a larger amount. This game is basically Sticky Business where you are decorating postcards to match the customers description. Its an okay game but get repetitive after awhile like all the other games made by Rogue Duck Interactive.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →similarly to a few reviews I saw after buying it impulsively since it was cheap, the game just lacks substance. when it comes to the customer requests, theyre pretty dull and poorly written. I've found that you dont even have to really follow their prompt and theyll just be happy with it, which is fine and all and could be appreciated by others. It just wasnt what i was looking for from that mechanic. I was hoping it would pose some more in depth challenges for filling orders. I enjoyed sticky…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was expecting a game like sticky business and to be fair to it, the game did deliver. The mechanics of certain parts of it are annoying though. This is from a few minutes of playing the game, mind you. So the fact I'm already finding things I know I'll be annoyed with if I keep playing is worrying. First of, I don't understand why I have to drag every stamp down to a plate when it doesn't add anything. Especially when it still takes your money if you don't drag it down with how repetitive it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Atm while this game is cute i think it needs to work. I've played a couple hours now and still am limited to 2 postcards a day and I'm not really sure if there's a way past this limit? I've tried creating quicker and it's the same. I'm also finding in general that I'm quite limited in designs, mainly because the way the background designs are done it makes it difficult to build on top of. I hope that with some updates I'll find this game more enjoyable, as it's definitely got a nice premise and…

My opinions aren't facts, and you're not expected to agree with them—and that's perfectly okay. My goal isn't to tell you whether you should like a game. Instead, I try to explain what worked for me, what didn't, and who I think the game might appeal to. Constructive discussion is always welcome, but please remember there's a real person…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its boring asf, the customers all say the same things, its extremely repetitive and it just looks aesthetic, its not.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's no way to save designs so when you get asked for similar designs (which happens often), you have to keep making them repeatedly until it's boring. It's a cute concept but gets dull very fast.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I normally enjoy games from this developer, but found this one to be uninspired and repetitive. They re-use a lot of assets from other games of theirs which is at best resourceful and at worst lazy; I don't want to play the same type of game with the same look constantly. The prompts are limited so after a very short time you find yourself trying to make different scenes for the same 4-ish prompts, which gets boring very quickly. Overall it has the potential to be a good game like Sticky…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →incredibly disappointing, as I love Sticky Business, but this game is so broken, The dialogue boxes are empty. The sticker elements keep disappearing every time I touch them. Way too many bugs. Not even worth the $2 I spent on it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It`s boring as ♥♥♥♥ and buggy as hell. I wish i could refund it but i take it as a part of a bundle so i can`t. Take Sticky Business instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is not fun. You get the same couple prompts over and over again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a lot to this. Very repetitive, you don't even need to really put any specific stamps down as long as they fit the theme the customer is happy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The grind to buy the house is excruciating. Worst Rogue Duck title so far. 2/10

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately, I can't recommend this game. The gameplay loop is extremely repetitive and lacks depth. You make a postcard in the tutorial and then the game never changes. The prompts for the card designs are oddly worded, though I can't tell if this is due to poor translations or AI. And what's worse is that they don't seem to matter. Each customer comes to you with themes they do and do not want on their postcard. If you match those, the customer will love the card. It's as simple as that.…

neutral · AI labelView post →Carefully Stamped is just okay. This developer has quite a few games out (and more on the way), but this one didn't really click with me. There are plenty of materials and decorations to work with, yet no matter what I tried to create, everything ended up looking... bleh. It's a very casual postcard-making game, and while it can be relaxing for a little while, I found it a bit too limited creatively to keep me interested.

The new update did so much good. The house price is no longer 100,000, its only 10,000 now, so you do not have to do endless grinding anymore, which is a HUGE plus! It is also not just 2 customers per day anymore, and they added more decorations as well, which I love alot. And best of all… my game doesnt freeze every 2 seconds when I purchase things! This…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is a delicious looking chocolate cupcake covered in sprinkles and glitter, however when you bite into it you are unfortunate enough to realize it’s just a hot smelly dookie that came out of this developer’s аsshоle I don’t find anything “cozy” about 3 second lags every 10 seconds of gameplay, I don’t find anything “cozy” about repetitive tasks and there is nothing “cozy” about adding gambling to this “cozy” adventure and coding it the way the last unlocks just don’t drop so you have…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My rating of this game is 4 out of 10 While this game is decent for what it is, it is not my cup of tea. The purpose of this game is to design postcards based on the prompts given to you by the npcs. Yet there seems to be only five unqiue prompts leading to an unintresting repeative playthrough espically if you are trying to roleplay working at this type of job. I haven't encountered any bugs in this game (yet), I just wish it could be better and more fun like their other games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Extremely buggy. Constantly made me lose progress: game always starts on the very first request regardless of progress, cat pet counter kept resetting, stamps I hadn't used would be gone as if I had used them, etc. The gameplay itself was fun but the issues make any attempt at progress self defeating and futile. Don't waste your money on a half baked game and buy a better made sticker game instead like I'm going to now. I wish I could get my money back for this garbage
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was... honestly terrible. I don't know if my final time shows up here, but the game turned itself on while I was at work but I still was around 9 hours after I just couldn't play anymore. Aside from the game just not being fun, most of it felt really lazy from the NPC graphics, gameplay loop and prompts. I couldn't even get the last achievement as an achievement hunter and this game is sitting at 29/30 because it was driving me crazy. I feel like stamps are hard to get wrong too, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it is a good concept of a game but it turns repetitive very quickly. as much as the start was enjoyable, I wouldn't recommend this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like it, I really did. I usually like games from this publisher/creator but this one just fell short. It doesn't feel as polished as the previous games and there are issues with the easy/no requirements mode. Prompts repeat all the time and they don't feel super intuitive. It has potential, but in its current state, I wouldn't get it. It feels like the developer has started to value quantity over quality and it shows in this game. I hope it gets better so I can come back and edit my…

positive · AI labelView post →Sadly, I was bored pretty fast of this one. After getting the same three requests several times in a row with no sign of anything else, I decided not to waste more time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →All in all this is cute and cozy game that feels very similar to Sticky Business. There's still a lot of things that could be improved. Some things are also very confusing and not explained in the game. This game has a lot of potential and is best played as a calm organizing game instead of focusing on grinding. - I've played 1,5h and got all the achievements (speedrun) except "buy a house" and "get all the stamps". - "Buy a house" achievement should be 10k instead of 100k, that is simply…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am really disapointed. Game loop is boring, you have the same like... 5-ish design request and then they loop. And they aren't even that varied. The music is good, but only for so long. The design is alright, I guess, but nothing to write home about. If you enjoy designing repeated requests over and over again, then this might be for you. Or if you like to play a cosy game for 5 minutes and then be bored of it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not recommended at full price. I basically bought it as bundle filler but I would not recommend it otherwise. The game is missing some quality of life features, such as the ability to save and reuse previously designed postcards. Given the way the request pool is set up, that would significantly improve my experience with the game. The way the request pool is set up is honestly my biggest issue with the game. This should be a good game to play in brief stretches to destress/before bed but based…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Needs a progress saving feature. Needs a little more challenge. Needs a little more variance to the monotony of tasks and scenery. Fix those things and I would recommend the game. Cute art!

positive · AI labelView post →Finally 100%ed the game, so here are my thoughts about this cozy stamp card game ≽(•⩊ •マ≼ I like the music and the art design of the game, but wish there was more color options with certain decors. The game is extremely unbalanced! It was so easy to get all the overall achievements, the last one (home sweet home) drags on wayyyy too long and at that point it killed the mood to finish it in one go. Sadly as much as I liked the overall game I have to give it a 6/10 /ᐠ ╥ ˕ ╥マ
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game a while ago, while it was on sale for 2,54€ I started it, excited for some fun - just like the cat-café game that came out prior to this one - from the same people. It seems to be the same engine as "Ship Inc." I like Ship Inc. But i dont like this game. Carefully Stamped is a great postcard designer - if you play the creative mode where the customers have no critera to fullfill. But i played the normal mode - the requests were the same - over and over. I like repetitive…

neutral · AI labelView post →Utterly, dreadfully boring. The basic gameplay loop is uninspired and makes me wanna fall asleep within minutes. This developer is going on my ignore from now on. All their games are literally just reskins of their previous games. If you've played one, you've played them all. Do boring, repetitive tasks every day to slowly make money, then buy house and win the game after a dreadful grind of doing the same thing for way too many hours. It was fun with Cats & Cups, which at least had some…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just not enough themes for the post cards. i find myself doing the same 4 subjects over and over. half the time i do them to the exact wants and it still tells me its not what they asked for.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute concept, but I managed to break the game an hour in by dragging a design to the wrong place. Definitely not a finished game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →was cozy and fun at first but prompts and amount of stamps were very limiting making the game feel like a chore after the first few in game days :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game more, but there are only so many ways that I want to place a carved pumpkin with maple leaf ears on a chabudai table surrounded by all kinds of sweets before I want to kick that customer out of my shop.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is cute, but that's all that it has going for it. i've done six postcards and half of them were the exact same prompt. the customers also don't care how good the card looks or if it's elaborate. you can slap two stickers on a card and they're happy with it. i would have refunded the game if i got it through steam, but can't since it was part of a bundle on another site. if you get the game for free or very cheap, maybe it's worth it, but for me, even at the weighted price of a few…

When I returned to the game, I thought that my game had failed to save as I received the exact same request I had the day before, but everything I unlocked was still there. I had an issue where I paused the game as I was leaving the shop and the screen was stuck black and I couldn't do anything but open the pause menu and quit. When I loaded in again I got the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not for me. It is too simple and too repetitive. You can only go to work, to the store, and go home. Going home basically means ending the day and paying bills. The bills are random and don't seem related to anything you did that day. Not a fan of just paying random bills just for the sake of having something reduce my money to make owning a home take longer. Speaking of, it seems like the goal of the game is to buy the house you live in. However you only get 1-3 orders per day and the order…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hate this, it honestly not worth it. It feels like a rushed game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very cool tool for making your own postcards with fun designs, however you like. But as a game, that is all it is. A customer comes in and asks for some stickers from a category and they pay you and that's it. If you earn a LOT of money, then you can buy your own house, which takes agonizingly long (just like in real life) even with the patch that's since taken it down to 10% of what it was. It sucks because there's clearly some real effort gone into the postcard craft. There are HUNDREDS of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I could recommend Carefully Stamped because I was looking forward to it, but it didn't really live up to the expectation I had. There aren't that many options to make postcards with (especially because many items are repeated across categories, which also makes it confusing), and although the idea of making custom orders was fun in theory, it was executed oddly. The characters ask for super abstract things that barely make sense, and the inability to decorate it however you want due to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you want something cute that's interactive but offers no substance, then this might be the game for you. I'm grinding out to 100% because I tend to do that with simple games, but I do not recommend Carefully Stamped. I quit "designing" postcards a while ago and have just been throwing relevant assets onto each card to complete the grind. It gets boring very quickly. For me, Sticky Business kind of set the mold for what a game like this should be, with a reasonable balance on the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/M-Pd9HsMG8Q Deceptively the game doesn't actually evaluate postcards on any other metric but the base theme checkbox allowing for nonsense always being treated as perfect deflating the main intent of the game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute game for what it is! It gives you silly but interesting prompts and it is fun to try and match them. They need to add more stickers as you will start to use the same ones over and over. I got it on sale and I had a few hours of fun out of it. Not every game needs to be an epic 40+ hour experience. This is a relaxing, no pressure game that you can play for 15 min at a time if thats all you have.
