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.

A heartwarming game with a story that had me audibly gasping alongside an irresistibly beautiful art style, all under two hours (including extra content). Just a wonderful time that will put a smile on your face. This game deserves far more love and attention.
The only downside is that it's short. I would have paid more for more. 10/10

Its so peak...
Upwards, Rain! The Post Office of Farewells is an emotional game. What better way is there to tell an emotional story than with emotional youth who in the process learn that adults are emotional beings, too? It has an interesting premise and the journey to find an answer is a process of growth and discovery. I really thought it was magical. The writing fits the characters and tells the story so well. The voice acting is top notch, as is the art and music. I struggled a bit with the stamp system of solving problems at first but it was not an issue after I got the hang of it. It was a unique way of working through certain issues and it helped drive home essential ideas in a refreshing way that related to the Post Office setting. I do not want to go into too much detail as it is better to experience Upwards, Rain! on your own. It is a beautiful story and at times sweet and at other times bittersweet but it is definitely worth experiencing. I highly recommend Upwards, Rain!
For a short game, this story is full of lovable characters, adorable puzzles, and a heartfelt message about the importance of community, love, and doing one's best for the sake of what's important rather than what the rules say. The voice actors gave their all to the performances and the music choices made for a gorgeous and mysterious ambience. I'm genuinely excited to play their DLC and spend more time in the world. Incredible job!
Upwards, Rain! The Post Office of Farewells is a [b] very [/b] special experience that is filled from beginning to end with wonderful characters, artwork, music, writing, vocal performances from an incredibly talented VA cast, and sincerity that will certainly touch your heart. Within its short 3-4.5-hour runtime, this story managed to strike me in such a beautiful and heartfelt way that I was immediately filled with the desire to go through it all again just to see if it would hit as hard on a second pass (and it did!). Beyond the contents of the main game, the Extras menu is filled with an array of worldbuilding reads and short stories that will further endear you to the setting and characters of this story. Frankly, the amount of effort put into crafting and exploring the world of Upwards, Rain! far, far exceeded what I had expected going into a game as short as this. I am eagerly awaiting the release of the Artbook DLC; I cannot wait to see more of this world. I would easily recommend this game to anybody; it is all too worth it to experience. TL;DR: Yes, I cried.
This game is actually so beautiful, from the story to the artwork it is absolutely breath taking and even had me crying by the end of it. The only downside of it is I wish it was a bit longer but aside from that it is amazing. 10/10
很喜欢这款游戏!尤其是利用邮票去做各种小任务觉得还蛮有意思的。帮助米拉找信的时候我猜了好多种剧情可能性,但是结局依然出乎意料,直接看哭了TAT,故事写得好好!
