How does the game fit the theme?
the letter, contrary to often deliveries, is addressed to a spot in the forest. the mailperson describes it as 'a strange place for a letter'
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
a couple sound effects and scripts were taken from previous projects of mine
fonts is schoolbell i think from google fonts

What a stunning entry. Thank you so much for creating this. It feels incredibly polished... kinda incredible it was developed by a solo dev. Well done!
Wonderful game with a heartfelt story! Platformer elements are just about right to not feel bored by going in the same direction but also not too much to distract from the story. Amazing entry for the jam and great job!:)
thanks so much!
Really calming experience, and a very emotional one too.
This is really cute and well made. Hugged my mother after this one :)
Very soothing, calming & I should say personal experience you gave me totally unlike what my game gave you. Insane polish for a 7 day game, amazing storytelling, great animations, good shader work (or were those hand framed?) , amazing controller feedback, great atmosphere, and the list goes on, has a very unique take on the theme too, the ending sent chills down me (please remove that sound effect tho 😭)
If I had to really really nitpick: the collision geometry of the characters and env & bg assets can be tweaked a little as if felt off a few times, otherwise top marks!!

Thanks so much for playing and for the very thorough feedback! :D
(visuals use a combo of shaders and unity's pixel perfect camera)
Cute game! Heartfelt writing. Made me emotional.
It's a love letter! A really wonderful one. I think the platforming is just right to not distract from the actual core.
