DEAD LETTER DEPT. ($13.04) - horror by way of data entry.

your job is to deal with all the lost mail the computer can't scan right. sometimes it's because of stains. sometimes it's because of...

other things. has an incredible amount of mail to sift through. store.steampowered.com/app/1627350/...

For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.

Shadow of the Colossus: An oral history

Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Team Ico’s masterpiece by looking back with 11 people who worked on it (and three who didn’t).

Three indie games, three different takes on a digital nightmare. While Proximate, Without a Dawn, and Dead Letter Dept. differ in their approaches, the takeaway is the same: our very perception of the world has been warped by systems outside our control. youtu.be/0zxQ9YAzy00

Still plugging away at this job search. I've got 12 years of experience writing about games. I've also spent time with indie publisher Untold Tales creating Steam descriptions and editing dialogue for some of their games. I'm available to work ASAP. DM's open!

dotzip podcast played DEAD LETTER DEPT. and it was quite entertaining to hear them discuss their various differences in the game and their working theories [many spoilers within]

This week we talk about mechanical-keyboard-simulator DEAD LETTER DEPT. There's also something in there about your job slowly sucking the life out of you or something?? Idk, I only remember the keyboard sounds.

There aren't a lot of horror characters that will straight-up ventilate you.

But then there's the Gremlins

Dead letter dept: played the demo of this and adored it, bought the whole game, fucking terrifying, I did my first play through in the dark with headphones on, I had to turn the hall light on by leaning my arm into the hall, I couldn't step into the dark, a must for ex or current office drones
