AUGUST, 2024: Correspondence is now included in Indiepocalypse #55, the monthly indie game zine curated by @PIZZAPRANKS -- be sure to pick up the collection and check out the games of my excellent fellow contributors if you can!

Made with the puzzle game engine PuzzleScript, which was, in turn, designed by Stephen Lavelle (increpare).

Originally inspired after stumbling upon "I want to eat meat" by deimos, which taught me that PuzzleScript existed.

Created against the tide of my own perpetually overflowing inbox. Good luck with your own.

Was there a way to read the messages or was their fate always going to be the trash can no matter what?

They aren't readable - this game was a challenge to myself in making something without any textual language (aside from title/end screen)

Fair enough. The goal was plenty clear even without any text.
