Nov. 2024

To be honest, it seems like a demo of an unfinished game: Everything looks like a cheap mode of the sims over the simpsons hit and run (altough landscape art is fabulous), the town is small but feels empty nonetheless, the characters are shallow and one-dimensional, there aren't really much people to talk to even about uneventful minutiae, gameplay is monotonous (it can feel tedious even when it's very short), nothing really develops nor there are any sort of conflict... But I get it: it's a game about having a quiet time, relax, and forget the stress. It's about escaping the quick and unforgiving life, both for Meredith and for the player. And it delivers (pun intended). I like the game, but for me to love it it'll need to grow somehow.

Nov. 2024

Ok, the game is relaxing and if u wanna get away from everyday life's stress it is very good for it. But i guess the story should've been much more rich. İt took me seversl hours to finish the game. The choice of the dialog is nice. Endings are nice too. Only objection is game is super short.

Oct. 2024

One of my favourite games. The story line is amazing and well written. I love that there are multiple endings and different choice interactions. I am even more excited now that the endless mode has been added. It is what was missing from the game. It's extremely relaxing and I just found myself wanting to keep playing, but once you have completed the game a number of times, it did leave me wanting a mode for just delivering packages. I am so excited about the DLC adding content too, as I desperately wanted more storyline added to this. The voice acting, feel of the game, music and game mechanics make it both relaxing and fun. Top favourite. Love it.

It's good, not great. More so, it feels like a bit of wasted potential? I wish there were not only more choices and more character interactions to have, I wish they also properly impacted things more because as it stands now... they rarely do. The various stories are fine, but a lot of them felt like they were missing something. I would've been more than happy to do more side errands to get more depth to the stories with all the characters you interact with, but a lot of them are like 2 or 3 times at most and you only get a surface level feel for what's going on. The mechanics of the game are fine, it does work as a cozy relaxing game and the environment is very nice, but in the end it kind of just feels like an idea that isn't fully fleshed out. Even having said all that, if you see this on sale and want a nice little cozy game to play for 6 or 7 hours, definitely give it a shot as it does tick some boxes. I haven't tested out endless mode, but I have a pretty good idea of what i'm going to get. Hopefully their next game has a bit more to chew on.

it's a cute little game and, if you miss carrying mail but don't miss amazon sundays and mandated 60 hr weeks, it definitely scratches an itch. the legally distinct llv being a left-side driven two-seater with no tray for the mail makes my eye twitch and there's a side quest with one of the romance options that's definitely getting meredith fired but they got the spirit of it all. some ppl will note that meredith moves slowly for a letter carrier but she's got it figured out. it's a union job with hourly pay, you runners could stand to learn from her! move at the speed you can maintain for your whole career it really does a surprisingly good job of capturing that special vibe of serving and getting to know your community that's unique to the job
