3 cozy letter games that are post marked for a relaxing time

It’s National Send a Card to a Friend Day (February 7th) and if you’re like me… you don’t have anyone to send a card to. That’s depressing. But, you know what’s great for depression? Cozy letter games! See that segue? We’re going places. Not a friend’s house… but places.

Ha. Ha. Milllennial humor.

These games center around letters in some form. One of them lets you embody a letter as you try to figure out where undeliverable letters go, another has you sorting mail for a small island community, and the other has you sifting through a life of penpal letters and messages, making subtle changes.

We do our best not to highlight games that use Generative AI at any level of development or marketing. At the time of posting, these games have not reported or disclosed using Gen AI. Likewise, all articles are written and edited by humans… as evidenced by our occasional errors.
