About the Game

Every night brings a new enigma: an undeliverable letter. Join the charming Letty as you help her unravel the hidden messages: Where are their secret letter boxes?

Take your time to leisurely explore the slumbering village of Tsukinoma, discovering its many unique details along the way.

Savor the solitude of the sleeping night. Drift through the village as its beings sleep, let its soothing melodies guide you and find solace in this calming environemt.

Experience the serene and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere of Tsukinoma past midnight.

The hand-drawn world of Pencil Stories invites you to leave the everyday behind. Artfully uncover the secrets hidden on each envelope, piecing together the fragmented tales of their correspondence. With every discovery, you'll expand Tsukinoma's charming environment a little more each night, unlocking new areas to explore.

Game mechanics

  • Control Letty with ease via mouse, keyboard, or controller.

  • As she moves, Letty continuously uncovers more world elements.

Unraveling letter mysteries requires diverse approaches:

  • Unmask secret texts

  • Decipher mysterious symbols

  • Locate hidden mailboxes

  • ...and more to discover!

What to expect

  • Puzzles over wandering: Decipher poems, symbols, sketches, and notes to locate hidden mailboxes. As the world expands, you'll need to use deduction rather than just blindly searching every location.

  • Pure Relaxation: No time limits, no drama, no combat. Experience heartwarming, everyday stories about the village and the relationships between its residents.

  • A Compact Experience: Enjoy a calm journey across ~6 chapters with approximately 2 to 4 hours of playtime.

  • Accessible to Everyone: The puzzles are designed to be fair. And if you ever get stuck, Letty will surely have a helpful hint ready for you.

  • Expanding Toolkit: Unlock new tools over time - like Letty's magnifying glass - to reveal secrets hidden within the letters.
