What players say
Players say this short visual novel about a girl delivering letters in WWII Russia is deeply emotional, often leaving them in tears. The story is based on the developer's grandmother's memories, and the simple hand-drawn art and slow pacing add to the heavy atmosphere. Some find the gameplay too sparse for a full game, but most agree the experience is powerful.
