Special Delivery! ‘Letter Lost’ - a Dark, Story-Rich Puzzle Mystery set in a Totally Normal Post Office - Launches June 10th on Steam
Independent developer FlatNine Games announced during the Women-Led Games Showcase that its debut title, Letter Lost, will launch June 10th on Steam. This single-player post office simulation blends mystery and psychological horror, placing players in the remote town of Kharnym Isle, where their new job sorting, stamping, and delivering mail soon leads to the discovery of dark secrets and a desperate search for a way to escape their seemingly permanent employment.
In Letter Lost you awaken in a cozy dungeon, beneath the post office on Kharnym Isle. There’s a bed surrounded by four cracked stone walls littered with scratch marks. It’s best if you ignore those. What matters here most is the mail. As the sole employee at the Kharnym Isle Post Office it is your responsibility to stamp, sort, and deliver the mail for the island’s residents.
If waking up in a dungeon within a post office didn’t raise some red flags then consider this a warning: something far more unsettling is going on. Leaving the post office is not permitted but the mandatory room and board provided should put your mind at ease that you don’t have to worry about paying rent - you simply have to worry about the mail.
Speak with the residents of Kharnym, learn their secrets, and if you’re feeling brave enough…open their mail to see what other secrets unfold. Technically opening someone else’s mail is not allowed but what’s the harm in just a little peak?
This dark story rich game will keep you on your toes as you search for clues, solve puzzles, and if you’re lucky, find a way out of the post office. But why would you ever want to leave?
Letter Lost is available June 10th on Steam for $19.99 (with a 10% launch discount).
Key Features:
Unravel a Mystery - You could spend your days quietly sorting through the mail and be perfectly content. Or you could speak with the residents of Kharnym Isle, open their mail, and dive into their lore and secrets that the Isle has to offer.
Deliver the Mail - What would a post office sim be without allowing you to sort and deliver mail? Address letters and packages appropriately and place them in the mail chute for delivery. Stamp, sort, deliver and repeat. The system is perfect, nothing could go wrong.
Explore and Discover - What’s this switch do? What’s hidden in that drawer? Turn the office upside down to uncover secrets and solve puzzles that may just lead you to an escape. Unless of course you decide to stay.
Choices Matter - You could choose to listen to everything your supervisor Liv tells you to do over the old rotary phone…or you could ignore her. You could choose to be a model employee who never opens the mail…or you could give into your curiosity to peer into what’s inside. Letter Lost is packed with secrets and the decisions you make will shape how the story unfolds. With multiple endings, over a dozen different story lines, loads of collectibles, and several secrets to discover no two playthroughs are quite the same.
Time Flies at the Post Office - A single playthrough offers 10-15 hours of gameplay with plenty to explore along the way. Completionists can expect 20+ hours of playtime to uncover every hidden secret.
Tune the Airwaves - With 8 radio channels and several phonograph records to discover, there’s no shortage of music to bring the office to life. Sing along to an all day yodeling channel, or a station that features songs about sleep or the rain. There’s even talk radio programs featuring the voices of fans of the game as well as streamers and content creators.
Letter Lost is developed by FlatNine Games, an indie team committed to crafting memorable, off-beat narrative experiences.
“After about 2.5 years in development, we're beyond excited to finally be able to give our fans a glimpse into what's really going on at their permanent place of work,” says Harrison Wade, Co-Founder of FlatNine Games. “They'll discover a slew of new customers, maybe even a workmate if they're lucky (or unlucky!), and finally be able to choose how they want to spend the rest of their eternal career at this totally normal post office.“
