Ooh I get to read people private mail! Fun!

Ahhhh this was so sweet! I love how everybody's personalities shine through their handwriting and the content of their letters. So sweet- I hope Esther and Franklin meet up regularly <3. 

Eek, thank you so much for your kind comments! Actually as I read your comment I was just doing some work on the 'new' version of this game - and you've given me a fantastic idea to put these two characters back in the game <3 so thank you!

Cool game! I had fun trying to decipher where everyone lived (:

I liked how clues were placed, some inside the text, others on the letter seal, by context, by personal or even proffessional relations, etc. Also loved how each letter changes envelope, paper and typography. The ones only carrying photos or seeds  felt kinda real.

From the game design aspect, i appreciated that you could click on Deliver as much times as you want without punishment, it felt pleasing. Maybe i would have liked an informative counter on the final Deliver about how much times did i try, but im not quite sure.

On the other hand, there was some difficult to read typographies that were too thin and the orange color on the map was too vibrant for me, it stoles all the attention haha

That said, Congratulations!  I could sense real village life in your game (:

This was a beautiful little game, really well written, cute art style (including the fonts.) Music well chosen. Really sweet little game. I was looking for a tiny silhouette of a dog! Must be walkies time!

Thank you so much!! I hope to expand this game soon - so I'll make sure there's a tiny little silhouette of a dog in the next version just for you ;

 I've had this music playing the background for like 2 hours haha. I really enjoyed this. It's such a great reminder for me how something can be sweet, lovely, and really engaging with just simple elements. I want to be a postman in this town. 

Thank you so much James! That's so sweet of you :D

Didn't anyone ever tell you not to read others' mail? (kidding, of course!) 

What a beautiful game! Amazing music, writing, art, and overall a wonderful, cozy vibe <3

Thank you so much!! Ahhahaha, there's something so fun about reading other people's mail 🙈

There are games that are pretty, but boring, and there are games that are interesting, but dull to look at.  I do not know how you managed to make a game that's both adorable and fun!

There's so much going on--it's a genuinely interesting logic puzzle, plus the wood-cut artwork of the map, plus all the different stationery and handwriting.  And then all the local culture...especially since I had to revisit several letters as I went, I starting piecing together more and more about people's relationships.  (Poor Clara!  I hope she's not disappointed!)

Really just excellent from start to finish.

That's so kind of you, thank you so so much for sharing your thoughts! 🥰
