Humour and horror are great partners, and Letter Lost balances both incredibly well. One moment you’re losing a finger to a shredder, and the next you’re mocking a customer for centering their entire personality around riddles and moles. When Liv isn’t vague and secretive, she’s fun to joke around with, and peeking into people’s letters reveals amusing discussions. Fun quips and light-hearted moments cut through the oozing tension of Kharnym Post and solidify this game as an entertaining rollercoaster of emotions. Letter Lost has overall been an incredibly enjoyable experience for me, and I thoroughly recommend it as a game to try your hand at. (Though hopefully you can get through without losing quite so many fingers as I did).

While undeniably rough around the edges, Letter Lost blends together a work simulator, a puzzle game, and a cosmic horror story and manages to make them all enjoyable. The puzzles just keep on coming, even as the letters keep piling up.

Letter Lost may appear to be a cosy experience about processing letters and parcels as a postmaster, but this cosiness eventually gives way to a rich narrative experience about a mysterious isle and its perpetually confused denizens. Getting stuck in a puzzle may prove to be frustrating, but the game is fulfilling in many other ways.
