Little Corners is a design game where you decorate several differently themed rooms with stickers unique to that space. Every room is unique and the sheets of stickers match that. Your pirate room will have pirate-themed stickers that don’t exist in any other space, just as the medieval tavern will have special stickers to use in that room only.
Playing Little Corners couldn’t be easier. You simply pick the room you’d like to decorate and then sift through the several pages of stickers. Once you’ve found one you’d like to use, you just grab it and place it down. The only thing you have to worry about is flipping them. They only go in two directions, so it’s a simple click.
While customization is nice, it can be a lot to pinch and pull objects or change colors in other games. Sometimes you just want the straightforward. The stickers will go down in layers, so you may need to push back or pull forward with your mouse scroll button, but it’s honestly so intuitive that it’s second-nature to adjust things.
If I could change one thing, it’d be having the ability to flip to the backside of stickers. Little Corners is set up so that you’re decorating the backsides of the walls, whereas the front walls are invisible. So, if you want to decorate something toward the front, the items aren’t turned in a way that supports that.
Even still, it wasn’t a problem to work around and some sticker sheets will have backward-facing stickers to accommodate the need for that. It’s just not present in every room.
I’m notoriously bad at these types of games because I’m the type of decorator who will just shove everything against the walls and then look at the empty middle of a room with deep confusion.
Having the sticker sheets with a finite amount of stickers actually helped me to better conceptualize a space. I can’t say that I always managed to do something differently, but with the limited palette, I was able to work with the space instead of it working against me.

I’ve played every room at this point and I can say that the shine doesn’t fade. It’s deeply meditative to decide what stickers you want to work with and arrange them into a space. And, maybe it comes down to being given different items every time.
As nice as a vast inventory of items is, it’s quite easy to look at them and use them the same way over and over. Having different items took away the decision fatigue and only left the joy of creativity.
It’s a shorter game; getting through the rooms only takes a few hours, but I had SO many items that I didn’t use that it’d be incredibly easy to choose different stickers and end up with an entirely different room.
There’s a bit of mysterious fun with hidden stickers. Each room has three stickers that need to be triggered to unlock. This is as simple as putting down the item that is associated with it. I’ve only found a few organically, but I’m sure I could take some time to pop all the stickers down and eventually find them. It adds a fun little element without making you feel like it’s essential to find those items.
If you want to try out Little Corners for yourself, then you can get it on Steam for $6.99. I’ve had an absolutely lovely time with it and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the cozy slowness of crafting a space.
