Letters to Arralla

Letters to Arralla has the best bird noises in any game!!! 🦜🎶 Spend the week as a turnip postie where you're encouraged to open and read everyone's mail before you deliver it! Enjoy the vivid Australian island atmosphere and wonderfully crafted town, and the jiggle physics, lol ♡ Overall, it’s a weird, cute, and very charming game with a lot of personality, and may require a second playthrough for 100%. Certain story elements took me by surprise, a very casual acceptance of [spoiler] a roleplay style séance to summon the beast [/spoiler]. Also, it's missing tag LGBTQ+ since one quest is to bring together she-she couple [spoiler](Keely/Niamh and Sunny/wife)[/spoiler].

Super chill, cosy, interesting game. I liked the story, visuals and characters. Developers are so kind and open for help and look at save logs for any problems or potential bugs. I really reccomend this game!

What an absolutely lovely game. I had a great time with it and desperately wish there was DLC or a sequel out to play! That being said, the game design was also mindful enough to not overstay its welcome with what it had available. Lovely graphics and atmosphere paired with wonderful storytelling and some delightful and “cheeky” dialogue.

Feels janky as hell and poorly tuned. Yhere are like 10 houses total on the island, so the central delivery mechanic isn't ever really something you feel like you're mastering, rather every clue was pretty much dead simple OR completely obscure. The ability to ask the postmaster where everything goes also kinda defeats the fun. for a game that's 100% about walking places, it's really wild how bad the movement feels. There are a few "twists" that I thought were fun (and included the coolest character, who only appears for like 2 scenes). Overall it feels like a comic at an open mic that stumbles on-stage, gets a good laugh out of their first two jokes, but by the end of their 5 minutes they're just kind of mumbling setups and payoffs completely disconnected from each other. I also really don't like a lot of the character designs, including the protagonist. It feels like they were going for incredibly cute, but to me it came off as more bland than anything else. Giving everything butts I think was supposed to be cute, but it just gave a lot of characters a kind of bulbous look. If this was a student game I'd be cautiously curious about their first full game, but as a commerci…

A cute game with delightfully quirky characters, though the puzzle aspect of finding out where to deliver each letter did frustrate me at times. Plus: why can't I use the pub or the hot springs? I'm a hard working turnip. Criminal.
