Press release:
Wiesbaden, Germany – June 1, 2023.
The Wiesbaden-based (Germany) indie games publisher and developer Assemble Entertainment and Stuttgart-based (Germany) indie games developer Spellgarden Games, today announced with great thrill and happiness that their cozy small business simulation game “Sticky Business“, is coming to PC via Steam in 2023.

“Sticky Business” is a small business simulation game all about making stickers and creating memorable experiences for customers!

Players will create stickers with thousands of various customisation options, pack orders, develop their online store, and build relationships with customers.

Included in Rokaplay’s “Cozy and Family Friendly Games Celebration” Sticky Business is an authentic homage to the essence of a cosy game—unwind, reap rewards, and embrace a gentle journey free of penalties.

Sticky Business joins the Rokaplay showcase as a finalist among hundreds of game submissions and will exhibit as part of the Steam event alongside Assemble’s 2D adventure Fall of Porcupine. As if that wasn’t cosy enough, a limited-time demo will be available as part of the Wholesome Direct showcase kicking off on June 10th!

Coming to PC via Steam later this summer, Sticky Business relishes in the wholesome fun and simplicity of childlike creativity: creating stickers! With thousands of design options at your fingertips, the task may seem daunting at first, but the game’s approachable interface and charming visuals create a totally serene experience for the would-be small business owner.

Of course, it can’t be all sticky, there’s also the tricky aspect of business management. Players must create an engaging, welcoming online storefront, allowing even more bursts of creativity and personal expression. From there, players can manage sales, pack orders, and even decide what sorts of goodies customers receive in their boxes.

But even the tricky parts of business ownership prove rewarding, as what comes next is sitting back and watching the positive impact your stickers have on your customers’ lives.

Key Features of Sticky Business:

Mix and match a plethora of the most wholesome and day-brightening stickers to create collections that are true to you — thousands of possible combinations available!
Grow your business gradually, and expand your boxed orders to include sweet gifts
A beautiful pastel palette will soothe your eyes just as the relaxing background tracks will soothe your ears
Buy upgrades with your hard-earned revenue to get more sticker graphics and effect foils to make your shop even more tempting for customers

As a special bonus for content creators, the publisher is pleased to announce a dedicated Twitch integration that will launch with Sticky Business. The integration will allow viewers in chat to put in “orders” for the streamer to pack in-game!

Sticky Business will launch on PC later this summer 2023. In the meantime, you can add it to your Steam wishlist and prepare to try out the exclusive demo on June 10th during the Wholesome Direct showcase.
