When I first bought The Letter, I wasn’t expecting much, I had never heard anything about it, and at most I was expecting a 6/10, what I wasn’t expecting was some of the best writing I’ve ever seen in a game.

One of the few games where your choices actually matter, whether a character lives or dies early on can practically change entire chapters later on, it’s refreshing and honestly surprising to see these changes working so naturally, cause no matter which route you pick, every character will still feel genuine.

In fact, the characters are the best part of this game, each character feels like a real person, reacting realistically to each event of the game, they all have upcomings and shortcomings, all of them love and fear, and it’s amazing how the game is able to portray each of these so well.

The story itself takes a while to get interesting, but in the end it’s so worth it, the mystery is intriguing and depending on the events on your route, the characters’s own determinations shine a lot, seriously there are a lot of great character moments, both happy and sad.

Aside from amazing characters and an interesting story, The Letter also offers animated character sprites, animated CGs, and extremely good voice acting, I genuinely fell in love with some of the VA’s performances, especially Luke Wright’s. You can feel the love and effort that was put into making this game.

I do have some complaints though, at many times the writing is so overly descriptive it hurts the story’s pacing, scenes feel very slow when sometimes they don’t really have to be, this becomes especially annoying when replaying the game to see the different outcomes.

Overall it’s a solid 9/10 from me, if you have the time and don’t mind reading a LOT, it definitely is worth it.



tl;dr: very interesting story, amazingly interesting characters, choices that matter and great voice acting, can be a bit slow at times though.
