The Sticker Game
- What? Why Affix? I understand that the agent needs a gender neutral name to call the player but why Affix? (╹-╹)?
- Finally! I can use Tamagotchi stickers!
- Also, everyone should stop for (and HELP) elders.
- I wanted my AU to be happy and joyful while drinking and playing with her pretend giant robot. (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶).ᐟ.ᐟ
- The game finally starts for real! I had so much fun making this Monster. Ouim helped me name him Kezaco after Quetzacoatle and "Who that" in French.
- Jake, after the best pal in cartoon universe. His trait after Ouim's. And Jelly, the cat. Of course a cat.
- As for the supplies, I went ham with Livework stickers. Coming up with magical items was super fun.
- One of the first conversation I had with Ouim.
- Sticker I found in BKK. I was saving this sticker to journal about my make-believe childhood, but I guess I can let it go.
- Another purge of my cat-related stickers.
- I made a ranch out of all the Livework dog stickers I had. Though... Ouim -considering he is the companion- prefers cats to dogs.
- I thought hard who I can let my cat go with. At first I thought of my mother, but she is too fragile. Even right now, time to time I worry about her after Dooji's (our cat) death. My best friend is also a cat lover, but as much as I love her deeply, I admit that she isn't the best person to take care of a cat. Her twin sister, however, is one of the most responsible, cat loving, and emotionally stable person I know. So I chose her.
- This page destroyed me. I came into this journey, light hearted, not knowing what to expect. But I poured tears doing this page. I had to let go of something I've been holding for too long. And that is the death of Kkami, my first cat. He passed away five years ago and I still hold onto his cremated ash. Doing this page, I realised I had to let him go.
- I'm Catholic. But I don't stick to the canon (as my two other gameplays suggest). Yet, the cross is the symbol or sigil that hits me the hardest and deepest. Rest in Peace my dear Kkami.
- p.s. I changed the order of sticking because Kkami hated dogs. And although, it's just a sticker, I still want his sticker form find better peace. I'm just like that.
- Back to fun! Wow this game really puts me on an emotional rollercoaster ride.
- Another page I cried. I just broke up (LDR wasn't easy as we hoped). So I immersed into the feeling of my AU saying goodbye to her companion.
- When creating the bridge, all of my favourite Tamagotchi stickers (all two Mimitchis!) landed on the page. I thought of throwing them again but I decided to just go on with it. I cannot spare something so trivial to save my characters.
- Secret locked away. This somehow felt extremely cathartic.
- AND THIS BLEW MY MIND! OH WOW. What a coincidence that I chose the sticker with 'Home Sweet Home' on it. JUST WOW. These are the moments I feel signs and my playful HGA.
- I daresay; this game brought peace to my sorrow deeply hidden in my shadowy unconscious. I dove right in not knowing what to expect and I am out deeply struck.
Review
Ever since I discovered The Sticker Game by Cassi Mothwin, I had my eyes on it. The game seemed to lie in the vesica piscis of venn diagram of SoloRPG gamer & stationery addict. And finally when I got back home from a very long trip, I bought the game, gathered all of my 'just-in-case' stickers and sat down with cold can of IPA.
Oh wow just wow. So creative, magestic and unexpectantly touching. I went in without thinking too much -sometimes, even annoyed by the cheeky narrator, but finished with teary eyes and tingling nose. The only thing I wish now is to go back on time and restart the whole game from scratch.
