Letters to Arralla

The best short games, in my opinion, are the ones that make you go "man I wish that was longer because this game is awesome." Letters to Arralla I'd say fits comfortably in that category. The way you solve puzzles is pretty damn clever and cute, and the side stories going on made exploring the island that much more fun. I pretty much loved every character in this damn game (most especially 2 secret characters tied to a pair of side stories that I won't spoil). I feel like I didn't see everything in my first playthrough, and I'm definitely gonna have fun trying to see everything else next time. If any of those tags you see attached to this game appeal to you, definitely grab this one. One other thing just to think out loud (and forgive me if I come across as pretentious at all with this): There is something about the atmosphere and vibes of this game that feels nostalgic but in that way where you have no specific point in time or memory of something to tie it that feeling to. I would love to know what specific memories or media inspired different parts of this game because I have a feeling some of what went into this game comes from the same place as that nebulous feeling of longing for the past. When a game nails that sweet spot between childlike joy and the wistful longing for days of childhood past, it hits in such a good way.

A cute, fun game. Has been really nice to escape to the little world of Arralla the last few days and has been a great game to unwind with after work. The island is very pretty, and was fun to explore. Interesting stories and good to talk to all the characters. The puzzles added a nice touch to the experience. I liked that the puzzles weren't just with the mail, but with other small quests on the island. I remember first playing this demo back in 2024 so was great to see the game develop into what it is now. Well done to the small Aussie team that made this! Always love supporting Australian devs as an Aussie myself.

Great little cozy game! Would recommend to anyone who enjoys short cozy games. The game is filled with some great Aussie references and vibes!

this game is adorable and i love that i can read all the mail :) i also really appreciate that there's no time limit on each day, so i can spend as much time as i want running around collecting rocks without worrying about passing out in game or missing deadlines for quests lol

bum do be jigglin :)

Letters to Arralla is a wonderful game. Its gentle, its soothing, its loaded with jiggling bums! I thoroughly enjoyed being a cheeky little postie, opening every piece of mail I could get my hands on. If you're after something calming, sweet, and with just a liiittle bit of brain power required, this is it.

Such a chill game to unwind with! I really liked the storylines and exploring the island. I was pleased with how you are gently guided through the game by the story and missions but given space to discover things by yourself too. I managed to find all hats and rare collectables just by playing the game normally (though the message in a bottle sent me on a long wild goose chase right at the end). I think the length of this game is perfect, its long enough that you're invested but short enough that you can actually finish/complete it within a reasonable time frame.

Very fun to play and the characters are very cute. The gameplay itself was straightforward but still a little challenging (in a good way). Highly recommend this game

Loved this little game! Cute, charming, not too long, well written and with lots of little things to do! Honestly I was afraid of two things before playing: - the game being too slow / boring: it's not! the core gameplay of finding where to deliver letters based on small hints is super well done and makes you care about the island. - the fart / ass jokes: yup you character sometimes farts while jumping, and it's a bit disturbing, but I didn't find that too bad.

Super cute and fun! It was a nice world to explore.
