Oh I adore this!!! As a letter-writer myself, I really appreciate the call to action, and I really enjoy that there's a win either way. It captures how I feel about writing letters: It's not necessarily about getting that reply back, or the equivalence of the reply, but instead it's a way to show someone I am thinking of them, and a way to spread a little bright moment in the distressing thing that is our world right now.

Plus, I stan the U.S. Postal Service, and I love any excuse to use a stamp!

Thank you so much! That is exactly what I wanted to communicate with this. I'll admit that I was a bit hesitant to publish this, feeling that it wasn't really "worth" making a game about. I'm so happy to see that it's connecting with folks!

I am SO glad you both made the game AND pushed back against that anxiety and published it anyway. I've never found much point in arguing what is or isn't worth making a game about. Everyone's taste is so personal, and that's why a multitude of games exist! I have gained so much joy and comfort in reading through all the beautiful entries for this jam, and I haven't even finished going through all the ones that caught my eye. Your game is just as important as the other games, and it's quite timely, and I'm grateful I get to be one of the folks connecting with it!

Thank you for such kind words. I definitely agree, this jam has produced so many awesome and inspiring entries. I'm waiting for it to end before I really look at all of them in detail, but what I have seen so far has been great.
