Letters - a written adventure

Words shape every path Letters carry hope through time Stories find their voice

Does this even qualify as a game? This is more like an app store product

Really cute and sweet game :)

This game really surprised me. I wasn't sure what I was thinking when I bought it, but when I played it I found it really novel. I've never played a game like this one! You move around a bunch of text (a conversation, an article, an ad, a spam window, files) and solve simple puzzles to move characters out of your way to access new words on the screen. I finished it in two sittings. I think it was a little fiddly at times, but I didn't use a controller. That may have smoothed it out, not sure. When I picked it up the second time it felt much easier, so maybe it was on me. In any case, if this interests you, go for it, it's not a hard or long game. Blue ribbon <3 thanks, friends. HOWEVER~!! I will say that I didn't pay no darn $15 for this game, and it isn't worth that much. I played it multiple times to get all achievements, and have 3 hours on record (and tbh, I think I left it open a minute). There is no replay value. This is a $5 and under buy.

This game is so clever and creative! The puzzles are so good and well thought out, I love all the art and the story is so uniquely told! There are so many memorable bits and great moments and I ended up doing multiple playthroughs to try and experience all the narrative choices throughout. There's also a bunch of fun secrets you can do and I could tell the developers(s) really put so much passion into crafting this experience for us to play! Such a good game! I would definitely recommend giving it a shot!

[i] Rec on sale. [/i] Thumbs up because the studio tried deliver something special here; storytelling and mechanics-wise. UI's polished. However, the story or the choices one makes within the story remain surface-level even as the protagonist grows older. We never get to know the other characters beyond a few lines. Moreover, despite the clear references to 2000s nostalgia, [spoiler] world events from that period never have an impact on any of the characters even if there are from the impacted countries [/spoiler]. Overall, I appreciate that the team wanted to bring different stories and experimental gameplay mechanics to the industry. I wish the game's brevity (and hence the lack character depth) could have been mitigated through budget.
