DEAD LETTER DEPT. Makes Its Way to PC

Anyone who knows me, or at least anyone who hasn’t been living under a rock for years, knows I’m not the biggest fan of horror games. It’s not that I have anything against the horror genre per se. In fact, there are some creepy settings that I absolutely enjoy. But those random jump scares? No, thanks. I play games to unwind, not to have my heart leap out of my chest. However, I do have a soft spot for psychological horror. It provides that perfect level of creepy and uncomfortable suspense that I find oddly satisfying. Today, we’re diving into a game that fits this bill perfectly: DEAD LETTER DEPT. Set to hit our screens at the end of the month, it’s a new addition to the psychological horror scene.

DEAD LETTER DEPT. makes its debut on PC via Steam on January 30th, and I must admit, its concept has piqued my interest. You’ll step into the shoes of a temporary worker at a postal warehouse, tasked with managing undelivered mail. Now, this isn’t just leftover mail with bad handwriting; there’s an intriguing catch.

Your job appears simple at first: retyping words and addresses on mail that never made it to its recipient. It sounds like a straightforward data entry role, but “simple” quickly becomes elusive as strange patterns start to emerge within the mail. Some messages seem surprisingly personal, almost as if they’re meant just for you.

Stuck alone in a dimly lit warehouse, with only these letters as your window to the outside world, you begin to question reality. The job starts to morph into something more surreal and unsettling, with bizarre narratives unfolding as you sift through the correspondence. Is it worth it to keep at this task just to keep your bills paid, even if it chips away at your mental peace?

DEAD LETTER DEPT. is more than just a typing adventure; it’s an exploration into secrets hidden within forgotten mail. As you type, you’ll uncover damaged images and stories of the people behind the lost letters. No two experiences will be alike, thanks to the sheer volume of mail waiting to be deciphered. But beware—the thrill of peeking into others’ lives might just leave you feeling more unsettled than entertained.

If snooping around in someone else’s mail sounds intriguing, then get ready—DEAD LETTER DEPT. is launching soon. For those eager to give it a try, a demo is already available on Steam. If, like me, you prefer waiting for the full experience, it won’t be long before you can dive into the complete game.
