Dead Letter Dept. Makes Its Way to PC

If you’ve ever chatted with me or kept up with the gaming world, you’d know horror games aren’t exactly my cup of tea. It’s not that I shy away from spooky settings — those I can handle. The jump scares, though? Not so much. Gaming is supposed to be relaxing, not a sprint to the emergency underwear drawer. However, there’s an exception I’m happy to entertain: psychological horror. It manages to keep the tension just right, and that’s precisely why I’m eager to discuss DEAD LETTER DEPT., a new contender in this chilling genre that’s hitting your screens at the month’s end.

Mark your calendars for January 30th, when DEAD LETTER DEPT. makes its way to Steam. Its premise alone has me intrigued. You’ll step into the shoes of a temp employee at a postal warehouse, where your task is to handle the mountain of undelivered mail. While bad handwriting is a classic culprit, you’ll soon discover it’s the least bizarre reason these letters aren’t reaching their destinations.

Your role in DEAD LETTER DEPT. might seem straightforward at first: simply retype the addresses on these rogue letters. Easy-peasy data entry, right? Well, not quite. As you pore over the mail, you start noticing unsettling patterns. Suddenly, it feels personal, as if the letters are meant specifically for you.

Imagine being alone in a dreary warehouse with only old letters for company. It’s your last tether to the outside world. The longer you sift through the mail, the stranger things get. Peculiar stories of the past emerge, and paranoia creeps in — are you being watched? Paychecks are great, but at what cost to your sanity?

DEAD LETTER DEPT. is a typing adventure packed with prompts and puzzles. As you input data, you’ll piece together images and uncover hidden stories behind the misplaced mail. Every gameplay experience offers something new, with volumes of mail to investigate. Does the intrigue justify the unease? That’s your mystery to unravel.

If sneaking a peek into private letters sounds enticing, DEAD LETTER DEPT. is right up your alley. There’s even a demo out now on Steam if you want to test the waters. But if you’re like me, sometimes it’s worth holding out for the full experience—just a few short weeks away!
