This game is very cute, i would describe it as a puzzle walking simulator you are a little letter called "Letty" :3 she delivers her letters every night because she is a melancholy girl and likes the night. Each letter is a bit of a puzzle to deliver to the right place. And you get to read each letter and that is how you get to know the towns foaks and whats happening. Each letter also has little drawings of the towns people and they are ADORABLE. I must say this game has made me so relaxed its very comfy atmosphere. Reccomend for anyone that needs a timeout game to just relax and calm down~
Cute little story / puzzle game. A very light-hearted distraction from everything else that is going on. Just escape for a few hours.
Cute game! What stood out to me was the hand-drawn look. It feels like flipping through someone’s sketchbook, which gives the game a cozy and personal vibe. The puzzles aren’t difficult, but I think that actually works in its favor. It felt really relaxing, which made it a nice little experience to unwind, with cute characters and a pleasant atmosphere.
