A Puntastic emotional (and cute) journey
Do you like puns, wordlplays, and word based puzzles? Letters might be for you, since its full of these and use them to tell an emotional "everyday" story about a girl growing up and her penpal. As the girl frows up, the technologies change with them even the games graphics, so its really an interesting journey also from a visual perspective. The gameplay resolves around finding the right words (inside letters, emails, websites or even spam), and use these words to change the livng letters, to let you proceed or to find the right answers to your friends and families questions. There is a hint system for people like me, helping you to find the words, and finding the correct solution often is not too hard, but even playing around with wrong solutions can be fun, just to find out how characters react or how images changes. Bring the word "swiss" to a tower and it suddenly changes appearance and can pronounce "Chuchichästli". Exploring these "easter eggs" or just interactions is realy a lot of fun. Sometimes the movement can feel a bit repetive, but there is the nice feature of the "mouse curser" which helps you as a shortcut later, to lose less time. The story is not too long, but you can influence it, your choices matter if you want (and even change some future puzzles and visuals!), so you have at least a good reason to play it at least twice to see all the changes. The genre of the story would be "Slice of Life", including the sad parts, some of us will experience, but it shows it for a, at least for me, interesting perspective. A swiss girl growing up, not a japanese highschooler, not an american teenager, as we all have seen enough. I really enjoyed it and think others do as well, if you like interactive stories, have a good enough english and are fine with reading in games.
Is this helpful to you?
