How it feels
A melancholic, word-drenched typing game where you craft letters for eccentric clients while your own survival depends on the ink flowing from your fingers.

What players say
Players praise the unique typing mechanic that ties into the story of a supernatural letter-writer in a gloomy Victorian world. The atmosphere and sound design are widely admired, but many note that the text advances too slowly and cannot be skipped on replays, making multiple endings tedious.
