Decipher mysterious symbols
Locate hidden mailboxes

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.

Official update history
Thank you all for your feedback! Based on your suggestions and requests for improvement, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work.
Letty received a nice little movement boost, and Tsukinoma is now more aware of her presence - meaning you’ll be flying around in the dark a lot less! :)
We also adjusted and extended our Roadmap on the store-page.
A wonderful week for all of you!

Hey Wanderers!
Thank you all for the lovely support during our first 48 hours in Tsukinoma. Letty has been busy tidying up the village and finding new ways to get those letters delivered even faster. Here is what’s new in today’s small update:
4 New Achievements!
Letty’s New Moves: Letty travels at different speeds on some surfaces
We’ve improved some of the hints for the early riddles to help you find your way without losing that cozy feeling.
Updated localization and added more text variety to Letty’s dialogue.
Fixed some "sorting" issues where grass, trees, fences and the bridge didn't overlap quite right. Everything looks much tidier now!
Some Menu Fixes
Thank you for playing and for all the lovely feedback so far!
Stay cozy,
Thomas
The Pencil Stories demo now lulls you and Letty with gentle music.
Does Letty even have ears? This is outrageous! How else would she manage to wake up on time in the morning and deliver the mail?! Oh. Hmm...
