You know what we need? Mail delivery games. We used to have a joy for mail, whether it was hearing AOL tell us we had another chain letter or Steve and Blue singing the Mailtime song, we used to have a zest for it. Now, it’s all scam e-mails, bills, and trash. I have thousands of unread e-mails and dread making the trek to the mailbox. It’s time to revive the joy in giving and receiving mail!
In these three games, you’ll take on the role of a mail carrier who needs to deliver items to the correct recipients. Whether you’re looking for a more down-to-earth representation or a more fantastical idea of mail delivery, this list has you covered!
3 Mail Delivery Games
Lake
Lake is the only one on this list that I haven’t played, but with a very positive score on Steam, I feel it’s perfectly suited to the list. This one takes place in 1986 and has the closest representation to delivering mail. You’ll be treated to a rich story, gorgeous environment, and the ability to drive around a mail truck!
Mika and the Witch’s Mountain
If you’ve ever watched Kiki’s Delivery Service and wished you could be a delivery witch, you’ll want to snag Mika and the Witch’s Mountain immediately. As an apprentice to a witch, you’ll learn the ropes of magic by flying around on your broom to deliver objects to the residents around town.
Mail Time
In Mail Time, you’ll take your first steps as a Mail Scout out into a giant world. Explore a fantastical game from your tiny vantage point by delivering mail to the creatures of Grumblewood Grove. Deliver your letters, explore an oversized world, and do it all in a fashionable mushroom hat!
Personally, I can’t recommend Mika and the Witch’s Mountain or Mail Time enough. Mika was a joy to zoom around on a broom, and Mail Time was so quintessentially cozy. Not only could you collect different mushroom hats, but the music in that game made it to one of my Spotify playlists.
Truly, in the world of mail delivery games, you can’t go wrong with any of the games on this list. What would your list of delivery games look like? Have you played any of these, or would you recommend something completely different? Let me know in the comments!
