About Pencil Stories

Every night brings a new enigma: an undeliverable letter. Join the charming Letty as you help her unravel the hidden messages: Where are their secret letter boxes? Take your time to leisurely explore the slumbering village of Tsukinoma, discovering its many unique details along the way.

Savor the solitude of the sleeping night. Drift through the village as its beings sleep, let its soothing melodies guide you and find solace in this calming environemt. Experience the serene and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere of Tsukinoma past midnight.

The hand-drawn world of Pencil Stories invites you to leave the everyday behind. Artfully uncover the secrets hidden on each envelope, piecing together the fragmented tales of their correspondence. With every discovery, you'll expand Tsukinoma's charming environment a little more each night, unlocking new areas to explore.

Game mechanics

  • Control Letty with ease via mouse, keyboard, or controller.
  • As she moves, Letty continuously uncovers more world elements.
Unraveling letter mysteries requires diverse approaches:
  • Unmask secret texts
  • Decipher mysterious symbols
  • Locate hidden mailboxes
  • ...and more to discover!

What to expect

  • Puzzles over wandering: Decipher poems, symbols, sketches, and notes to locate hidden mailboxes. As the world expands, you'll need to use deduction rather than just blindly searching every location.
  • Pure Relaxation: No time limits, no drama, no combat. Experience heartwarming, everyday stories about the village and the relationships between its residents.
  • A Compact Experience: Enjoy a calm journey across ~6 chapters with approximately 2 to 4 hours of playtime.
  • Accessible to Everyone: The puzzles are designed to be fair. And if you ever get stuck, Letty will surely have a helpful hint ready for you.
  • Expanding Toolkit: Unlock new tools over time - like Letty's magnifying glass - to reveal secrets hidden within the letters.

Cute little story / puzzle game. A very light-hearted distraction from everything else that is going on. Just escape for a few hours.

Cute game! What stood out to me was the hand-drawn look. It feels like flipping through someone’s sketchbook, which gives the game a cozy and personal vibe. The puzzles aren’t difficult, but I think that actually works in its favor. It felt really relaxing, which made it a nice little experience to unwind, with cute characters and a pleasant atmosphere.

Lovely game, very chill vibes and good at putting you in a mood to sleep! like a lullaby! There is a whimsy and slowed pace to this game that is so relaxing.

The pencil artwork is super cute, letty’s expressions are so sweet. i could honestly wiggle around with her in the grass all day and never get bored. Exploring the summer nights and all the little settings feels really magical and cozy. the Sound design is adorable too — especially when she goes “whueeey”, it makes me smile every time. Menus and text are easy to understand (my impatient brain wishes some things faded in a tiny bit faster, but that’s really minor). Can’t wait for the next chapters and the pencilled story to unfold!! 💫

Hogwarts Legacy price history: where the floor really is

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Starfield price history: the sub-$20 window, and who set it

Our Starfield price history shows one reseller set the all-time low over five weeks in late summer 2026. What a good price looks like now, and why Game Pass comes first.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
