Some things were never meant for home.
After moving to the big city, you got yourself an apartment, and secured a temp data entry job- just to keep you afloat till something better comes along. Your official title is a Data Conversion Operator, but you're really more like a warm body who types up all the junk computers still can't read.
Day to day, you go to work & process the images displayed on your terminal, and type up whatever text is in front of you. Whatever can be made out, that is. Letters and lost mail, some mangled and twisted, that have travelled from place to place with nowhere else to go. Sometimes the mail you receive is a little strange. Sometimes, it feels like it's talking to you directly through the screen...
DEAD LETTER DEPT. is a voyeuristic & technological ghost story. Use your computer keyboard to type your way to freedom or into oblivion.
Features:
- Use your computer keyboard to type in various prompts, and attempt to decipher damaged images
- Strange and voyeuristic storytelling, in the form of the letters & mail you process in your daily work.
- Horror crafted through a rich dark & moody grain encrusted atmosphere.
- No two-playthroughs are the same. Storylines discovered in the mail change every playthrough (Estimated playtime: 120min per run)
- A massive amount of mail to voyeur through, and catch glimpses into other lives
- Atmopsheric horror mood with rich sound designed to crawl under your skin
- Multiple endings to uncover, depending on circumstances followed in the game.
