Mail Time

If ever there were a world crafted for comfort and joy, this is it. Mail Time invites you into a forest fragrant with possibility and crawling with character. As a newly minted Mail Scout, your job is delightfully simple: deliver letters and parcels to the residents of Grumblewood Grove. Though the gameplay is minimal, the heartwarming stories and whimsical details bring this forest to life.

Mail Time has a charming hand-drawn art style that adds to the game's cozy atmosphere. Additionally, the game's soundtrack perfectly complements the game's peaceful vibe. If you enjoy games with a solid atmosphere and relaxing gameplay – kind of like a more PC-friendly Tearaway – then Mail Time might be just the game for you.

Making New Friends

One of the game's strongest points is its cast of 15 unique and endearing characters, which ranges from anything between woodpeckers with attitude to grumpy squirrels with a mean streak, each inhabitant has a story and charm of their own. Helping them along warms even the coldest of hearts.

The characters are all equally lovable, and each has their own stories and quirks that make them stand out. Meeting and interacting with these characters is a highlight of Mail Time's gameplay, which kind of makes the whole experience feel a bit like Animal Crossing.

A Fairytale World

Exploring the vibrant and whimsical environments is another enjoyable aspect of Mail Time. The game features eight unique areas, from a lively woodland village to a murky swamp and a relaxing, peaceful farm. Each area has its own distinct charm and is filled with hidden trinkets to collect. The game's world is vast and encourages players to explore every nook and cranny.

Bright blossoms bursting with color, towering trees reaching to the sky, and mushrooms with secrets yet to be discovered. There’s magic around every corner for adventurous players who dare to see what Mail Time has in store for them.

Of course, one of the reasons why it's such a blast to discover what Mail Time hides in its massive game world lies in the game's beautiful, hand-drawn-style visuals.

Customize Your Scout

The customization options in Mail Time are also impressive, with over 46,000 possible variations. Players can choose from six different categories to customize their Mail Scout, from skin tone to backpack type.

Additionally, players can earn Mail Scout badges to upgrade their gliding abilities, which is necessary to reach new heights and explore the game's world fully.

It's worth noting that the game takes its relaxing gameplay very seriously. You won't find daunting challenges of any sort here – just complete gaming bliss. Lazy summer afternoons were made for getting lost within Grumblewood Grove. No time limits or dangers lurk here, only wonder and joy waiting at every turn.
