Anyone who knows me and hasn’t been living under a rock for the last few years knows I’m not the biggest fan of the horror genre. It’s not that I dislike horror as a concept—I do enjoy a few creepy settings. My main gripe? Those obnoxious jump scares. I game to relax, not to find myself needing a new pair of pants every time I play. However, I can easily get into psychological horror. This storytelling approach gets under my skin just enough to be thrilling, without going over the top. That’s why today I’m excited to talk about “DEAD LETTER DEPT.,” a fresh addition to the psychological horror scene, soon hitting screens by the end of this month.
Come January 30th, DEAD LETTER DEPT. will be making its grand debut on Steam for PC users. I must admit, the premise has piqued my curiosity. In this eerie adventure, you step into the shoes of a temp worker assigned to a postal warehouse—a job with a twist. You’re tasked with managing piles of undelivered mail, and believe me, bad handwriting is just the beginning of the oddities you’ll face.
The responsibility in DEAD LETTER DEPT. is seemingly straightforward: transcribe words and addresses on letters that have lost their way. It sounds like the most basic data entry job, right? But as you delve deeper, you start noticing some strange patterns in the mail. What began as a mild curiosity turns into a slow-burning paranoia—some of these messages might be directed right at you!
Alone in a dim warehouse, you’re cut off from human contact, with only these letters offering a window to the outside world. As the hours go by, reality blurs with fiction, and eerie narratives begin to unfold from the pages. It feels as if unseen eyes are always on you. Survival might mean paying rent, but is it worth the cost of your sanity?
DEAD LETTER DEPT. is an interactive typing adventure where you’ll input various prompts to decipher distorted images. In doing so, you peek into the lives behind the lost letters, unearthing hidden secrets along the way. Every playthrough promises a different experience because there’s a vast amount of mail to explore. But be warned—does the thrill of voyeurism truly outweigh the unsettling sense it brings?
If sneaking a peek into others’ mail sounds right up your alley, you’ll be happy to know that DEAD LETTER DEPT. is just around the corner. There’s even a demo available on Steam if you want a taste of the game before its full release. For those like me who prefer the entire package—just hang tight, its arrival is only a few weeks away.
