Sincerely, Stampy

Aliens are real, and they’ve abducted you! Congratulations, and welcome to the latest game by 3 Halves Games, developer of the Tea VS Coffee strategy tactics RPG, Sovereign Tea.

Your name is Stampy. You are a nerdy stamp collector from an island nation. You and 4 other abducted humans are to live on a spaceship for 14 days. During these two weeks, the aliens—who call themselves Astral Entities—will observe your every action. Will you make use of every strange amenity the aliens have given you? Will you befriend your fellow humans? Or will you sabotage the experiment from within? With 12 endings to chase after in this indie adventure, the world of Sincerely, Stampy is yours.

Gameplay

In Sincerely, Stampy, you have 14 days to explore the alien spaceship—the Instanced Construct—and do as you please.

As you explore the Instanced Construct, you will start new quests. Some quests can be completed by discovering the right items in the right order, but others require stat-based skill checks to clear. For skill check-based quests, you can sometimes uncover hidden information about the skill check by talking with others.

Discovering this information can be the difference between passing and failing a quest’s skill check, so be sure to ask around for help. Completing quests gives you permanent stat boosts. The quest app in your phone will also remind you of any hints you may have uncovered, so be sure to check it if you ever get stuck.

Throughout the game, you will feel the inspiration to create new stamps based on the situations, individuals, and things you encounter. You can equip your stamp loadout for the day, where each stamp provides a different temporary stat boost. Equipping stamps is that fastest way to raise your stats, and thus is vital for clearing most stat-based skill checks.

There are many mini-games and special events to uncover as you explore the Instanced Construct, from stock simulators, to tarot card readings, to the high-stakes dice-rolling game chinchiro. Be on the lookout for these play opportunities!

To play efficiently, you will need to make a plan of attack as to which quests you wish to push forward in a given day. You can’t complete all quests in a single playthrough, so plan accordingly!

Player Customization

There are a total of 8 visual variants of Stampy that you can play as. Here are four of them!

Your Stampy can originate from one of four island nations: the Philippines, Ireland, Comoros, or the Dominican Republic. You can also select a male or female variant to play as, with the option to change this once in game.

Characters

You’re not the only abducted human. You, alongside Tanja, Steffan, Gamal, and Wenyu, are the fateful five who will decide humanity’s future! …or so it may seem, as the aliens aren’t so clear about why they’ve abducted the five of you.

In addition to the humans, you can meet and talk with the aliens—the Astral Entities!

There may be even more characters to meet, so be on the lookout for them!

May you spread the gospel of stamps well in your journey. Best of luck, Stampy!
