The gameplay has been criticized for its lack of depth and variety, with many reviewers noting that it feels repetitive and uninspired. While some appreciate the cozy, relaxed nature of the mechanics, which focus on creativity and personalization, others find the overall experience shallow and frustrating, lacking the complexity and engagement they desire. Overall, the game may appeal to those looking for a casual experience, but it falls short for players seeking more advanced gameplay elements.

- “Gameplay operates on a relaxed loop where each postcard functions as a tiny puzzle of taste and creativity.”
- “Instead of demanding long commitments or mechanical mastery, it invites you to play at your own pace and enjoy the small pleasure of styling a postcard just the way you like it.”
- “But there's just... barely any gameplay.”
- “The basic gameplay loop is uninspired and makes me wanna fall asleep within minutes.”
- “The gameplay loop is extremely repetitive and lacks depth.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent freezes lasting 2-3 seconds during key actions such as purchasing items and interacting with game elements. Users report persistent bugs that detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration and a lack of enjoyment.
- “It freezes for a second or more at specific times every single time (when opening a pack of stamps, when putting the postcard in the envelope, sending it).”

grinding
6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players express frustration with the grinding mechanics in the game, particularly due to the lack of a pity system and the tedious nature of RNG when trying to collect stamps. While some appreciate the reduced house price, many feel that the overall grind for achievements and resources is excessive and detracts from the game's potential, suggesting it is better enjoyed as a casual organizing experience rather than a grind-heavy endeavor.
- “Got around 3 hours and most of it was spent in the terrible RNG cycle of trying to get all the stamps because there's no pity system. It seems like the cards you already have are programmed to spawn multiple times and more frequently than the ones you don't have, which was also annoying and tedious.”
- “If you care about achievements, the 'Philatelist Extraordinaire' achievement is just needlessly grindy, as it adds nothing to the game and is pure RNG.”
- “But the house is like 100,000... while you earn maybe 200 a day... there just isn't enough content to make that kind of grinding enjoyable.”
