"It is the journey that matters, in the end" - Ursula K LeGuin
April 19, 2026 — Fairyland (Götene, Sweden) — The Merry Fairy, Fairy's enchanted cottage deep in the forest of Fairyland, received a fresh update today, along with a sturdy set of repairs and an exciting collaboration with the indie game Pieced Together. Both games revolve around the gentle art of scrapbook journaling.
The Merry Fairy update brings a beautiful collection of decorative mandalas, new hand-painted backgrounds, words of poetry from Fairy herself, and a joyous collection of stickers kindly offered by the Pieced Together team. This is the 14th update since launch. Fairy likes to celebrate all update releases with discounts, and this latest update comes with a 30% discount.
In addition, the Cozy Scrapbooking bundle (https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/73469/Cozy_Scrapbooking/) also launches today. The bundle binds The Merry Fairy and Pieced Together in friendship and in a "Complete the set" Steam collection featuring a perpetual 10% discount that applies on top of current discounts.
About The Merry Fairy
For a human, The Merry Fairy is a cozy scrapbook journaling idle game set in a fairytale environment, and easily used as a background productivity app. But for a magical creature, The Merry Fairy is a portal enchanted to look like a video game. This portal invites you into Fairy's own home and grants you access to Fairy's beautiful desk, where you can discover and explore your own magic by practicing the gentle art of scrapbook journaling.
The Merry Fairy can best be enjoyed by magical creatures who are ready to explore their own inner power, so there is no actual in-game exploration, quests, or stories that can distort or disturb your introspection. As a cherished guest, you may explore and use everything that Fairy has left you on her enchanted desk. You may not visit the rest of the cottage or take a stroll in Fairyland.
At The Merry Fairy, you can:
- Practice the gentle and powerful magic of scrapbook journaling by enjoying an enchanted, endless journal that Fairy gifted you; you may write and decorate using any decoration found on Fairy's desk and any decorations you might upload yourself
- Download your journal as a PDF file to keep on paper
- Set the perfect vibe for introspection: ask the weather to accommodate your wishes, light lots of candles, and choose your favorite Fairyland radio channel
- Browse through Fairy's collections, including the Fairyland GuestBook, Fairy's Magical Book of Wisdom, Hope and Insights, Fairyland's Book of Wonders, The Scrapbooking Emporium, and even Fairy's photo camera.
- Enjoy as many Soul Candies as you wish (a Soul Candy is a collection of uplifting words, sometimes known as affirmations, that sweetens the heart)
- Receive letters from Fairy and visits from Fairy's whimsical friends, who tend to knock on Fairy's stained glass window every 30 minutes or so (Fairy mentioned something about a Pomodoro technique, so this might be some kind of tomato spell?!)
- Upload and keep your most treasured memories in the desk drawer that Fairy cleared for you
- Choose your favourite colour and font to write down your most enchanted thoughts
