Little Corners turns one and opens shop: the Little Shops DLC adds books, plants and sewing

There is a particular pleasure in a game that asks for nothing but care. Little Corners, the stickerbook sim from Bristol studio Meteor Pixel, is built on it: every level is a tiny isometric room, a diorama sliced out of a larger world, and you furnish it by peeling stickers off a sheet and pressing them into place. No timer, no objectives, just the slow satisfaction of deciding where the teapot goes. Its first content expansion, Little Shops, keeps that premise intact and aims it at a very specific daydream: the small, cluttered shop many of us have half-imagined running.

The expansion adds three new corners, each a storefront with its own theme and its own sticker sheet. The Book Shop is for stacking favourite reads and settling in with a cup of tea. The Haberdashery is a sewing room of bright fabrics and tools. The Plant Shop fills up with leafy greenery and botanical clutter. In the announcement, publisher Weekend Games describes each one as having its own “personality to discover”, and the screenshots bear that out: every room arrives half-dressed, waiting for you to finish the thought.

Little Shops brings more than 250 new stickers across the three spaces, plus hidden stickers tucked into each corner for players who poke at the edges of the scene. That last detail matters more than it sounds. In a game without goals, discovery is the only real reward loop, and burying a few secrets in each diorama turns idle decorating into a gentle search.

The shops join the eight corners already in the base game, which run from a Cat Café, where warm drinks share the counter with resident felines, to a mystical Alchemist’s Workshop. A lo-fi soundtrack hums underneath, and nothing ever hurries you along; a corner is finished when you decide it is.

For Meteor Pixel, the game is a turn away from other people’s projects. Over the past decade the studio has worked on titles including Date Everything, Two Point Museum and Flock as a development and outsourcing partner, and Little Corners was its first original IP. Weekend Games, the publishing arm of UK indie agency Secret Sauce, pitches itself as a curator of indie games “that you can actually finish”, a slightly funny promise for a sticker book with no ending, though the bite-sized rooms may be exactly what it means.

Little Shops is out now on Steam for PC, a year to the day after Little Corners launched in November 2025. The DLC costs $2.99, £1.49 or €2.99 and is 10% off at launch, while the base game is currently discounted by 30%.

For a game about small spaces, it is a fittingly modest expansion: three rooms, a few hundred stickers and the same unhurried promise that the next shelf can wait.
