About

On the outskirts of a small village stands a massive tree whose canopy disappears far above the clouds. While grandiose on the outside, its interior houses the humble Mortem Post, which receives and delivers letters from those who have passed on. Deciding to break protocol to lend a helping wing, Rain, a flighty little courier takes a skittish girl by the name of Mila on an adventure through the inner workings of the post office. Together, they search for a letter containing the last words of someone who seemingly never existed.

One part visual novel, one part puzzle adventure! Follow Rain and Mila through the mysterious Mortem Post as they meet with various couriers working throughout the tree and make use of Rain's trusty stamp collection to overcome a myriad of obstacles that stand in their way!
Often during your adventure, you'll need to take advantage of stamps to tie words together in intuitive ways to help Rain and Mila out of various sticky situations. No two puzzles are exactly the same -- from choose-your-own-adventure style outcomes to stealth missions, you'll see just how versatile Rain's stamps can really be!


cv: Beth Pierce
A rookie courier at Mortem Post and granddaughter to the postmaster. As a no-stamp rank, she's still learning the basics, such as handling front desk duties or sorting ground-level mail.
While she loves her job, she's prone to bending the rules that come with it, often causing trouble for herself when her mentor inevitably finds out.

cv: Mel Valentine
A young seaborn girl from the village of Vitae. She's been a regular at Mortem Post recently, coming in every day for the past three weeks asking for a letter she's expecting from her dearest friend who has recently passed on.
A bit of a crybaby, her tears upon hearing that her letter still has yet to arrive are what move Rain to take her on an adventure through the back of the post office.

cv: William Maloy
Though a courier by name, in actuality Mizore's duties to the post mostly involve the upkeep of the tree's exterior. Trimming branches, ensuring it's continued health and so on. While the tree stretches upwards forever, they never stray higher than the clouds, lest the task become impossible. They have a friendly, laid-back demeanor, finding much amusement in Rain's day-to-day ordeals. Arguably too much, as they end up playing along with just about anything she readies as an excuse and, as a result, lets her get away with pretty much everything.

cv: Elissa Park
A Three-Stamp ranked courier and Rain's Big Sis (no relation.) Unlike her fellow galekind, Neve is firmly planted to the ground thanks to her missing wing. She's found a comfortable position in the post office that takes advantage of this. Staying out of the sky allows her to get to know the other villagers in a way those who stay airborne do not, and as such, she's able to deliver letters that arrive at the post office with vague recipients such as "the kind regular who always visited my shop" or "the woman who delivered flowers on my birthday."

cv: Vyn Vox
A courier who has achieved the rank of Five-Stamp. With her prestige comes no small amount of additional responsibilities, including the training of new staff. Her newest trainee, Rain, has caused Caile nigh endless grief. The young galekind's reckless disregard for the rules of the post clashes constantly with Caile's ceaseless chase for perfection. Rain's repeated patterns of defiance have only doubled Caile's efforts, however, and it's not uncommon for her to hover around Rain for much of the day if her duties do not pull her elsewhere.

海边小镇维塔东边矗立着一棵巨树,巨树中开着专门接收逝者来信的彼方邮局,游戏故事主角是一名来自风裔族的信使见习生——小雨,一天,海裔族女孩米拉前来邮局寻问关于朋友的信件,她已经许久没有收到朋友“蒲公英”的来信,可邮局这边也没有接收到,小雨见楚楚可怜的米拉决定违反规定带她去寻找这封“不存在”的信件。 《小小信使:青空上的告别》有着高达99%的超高好评率,由于此前并没有中文,中文评价寥寥无几,而游戏趁着夏促终于迎来了官方中文,也让我有机会体验了这段十分温馨的故事。作为一款短篇视觉小说,游戏将故事视角聚焦在小雨与米拉两位女孩身上,主要讲述了她们成长与突破自我的温馨感人故事,当然在这个过程中我们能看见她们互相鼓励、相互帮助以及可可爱爱的贴贴~(但更像是友谊) 游戏采用漫画分镜式叙事,每位人物都有着精致的立绘与近乎全流程的配音,玩家将伴随小雨与米拉的视角在彼方邮局展开冒险,探索神秘的彼方邮局,揭开“特殊信件部”的秘密。游戏虽以叙事为主,但其中有着不少简单又有新意的“邮票”解谜内容,在部分场景中,邮票会以文字形式呈现,玩家要将邮票移动至场景中的交互点,促使邮票上的动词与场景中可交互的内容触发联动效果,协助两位女孩解开各种谜题。 其实游戏的故事不止表面于此,探讨了更深一层的故事,所有的信件最终都能去往该去的地方吗?答案是不能的,一些人恐怕一辈子也无法等到挚爱之人的来信,就像故事中的米拉一样,她的朋友蒲公英仅仅是由魔法布料缝制,出自米拉母亲之手被赋予微博魔力的背心,它在魔力耗尽之时将自己心爱的东西分享给世界上最喜欢的女孩,用尽最后一口力气表达了自己的心意。 无论如何,《小小信使:青空上的告别》是一款十分温馨有趣的视觉小说,有着少部分并不困难的解谜内容,观感上令人十分舒适,不过虽然有着LGBTQ+标签,但实际内容并没有完全展现两位女孩这方面的内容,所以奔着这方面来的玩家可能会失望,游戏现在已经有了官方中文,十分推荐品尝一番~ [quote]漫话漫谈,期待关注:[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44551694/]写生漫话家[/url] ←节约宝贵时间,阅读省流测评~ 欢迎加入漫话家的大家庭:[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/14030826]写生漫话家[/url]←共同探讨游戏中的精彩片段,向玩家展现第九艺术的魅力~
I honestly wasn't expecting much, but this game completely stole my heart. It all started like this... Me: "Oh, this looks like a cute little visual novel." The game: "How about we make you emotionally attached to everyone instead?" Me: "...that's rude." 😭❤️ The characters are so lovable, the friendships feel genuine, and before I knew it, I was smiling one minute and tearing up the next. This game had no business making me this emotional! The art is absolutely adorable, the soundtrack is beautiful, and the voice acting is fantastic. Everything comes together perfectly and makes every emotional moment hit even harder. Came for the cute art. Stayed for the friendship. Left with tears, a full heart, and absolutely no regrets. Highly recommended if you're looking for a wholesome visual novel that'll make you laugh, smile, and maybe cry a little too. ❤️
I bounced off this VN the first time I started reading, but I went back a few days ago and gave it another chance. I'm glad I did. Once I got into the story, I found it pretty charming, and I like the incorporation of interactive elements in the form of the stamp system. They're closer to optional dialogue than puzzles, but they add an appreciated bit of extra immersion in the absence of a branching dialogue system. Upwards, Rain is short as far as visual novels go, but I think it's priced appropriately.
adorable game! the artstyle is really pretty and i also liked the story and characters! voice acting was a nice surprise, too!
really cute game! love the visuals and the voice acting, everything was really well done
cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If coziness was a game it would look like this. The game is lovely, touching, even. Don't miss the extra stories after completing the game, those are the best. There is also a Webcomic called [i]The Scattered Letters of Vitae[/i] made by the game's Artist and Co-producer [i]theo[/i], on the same website you can find more tales called [i]Stories Of Vitae[/i]. Pretty cool stuff!
Such a short, cute story that's definitely worth experiencing. The art is absolutely wonderful, the fantasy setting is really cool, and as a bonus, all the dialogue is voice acted! I really liked the little puzzle segments, though the game is definitely mostly a visual novel, so be aware of that when you get into it! Also, yes I cried at the end. Who wouldn't?
beautiful art and lovely story
An absolutely beautiful game. Very cute throughout, and had me sobbing at the end.
