The Curse of the Letter-Writers

About 

The Curse of the Letter-Writers is an in-development, single-player, RPG, video game project. Based on historical research and traditional folklore, players will control a detective as she attempts to unravel the mystery of a haunting on an abandoned island. Can she survive the ghosts long enough to reverse the curse of the Letter-Writers?  

Story

When you are separated from those that mean the most to you, it is said that writing letters can bring you closer to the ones that you love. As the ink flows from pen to paper, so does the essence of the letter writer. When these precious words are read, they imbue the reader with their power. This can be a brilliant, tender experience, shared between lovers. 

But what happens when those with deep connections to one another never get to see each other again? What happens when deep bonds follow both of the letter writers to the grave? 

Prepare to explore one of the great dangers of the spirit world: The Curse of the Letter Writers!

Current Progress

This project will be iterative in nature. Version 1 will be an RPG Maker game to be used as a general proof of concept. Version 2 will be a 2D game built in Godot.

Currently we have a completed story bible that outlines the characters, setting, and narrative of the game. We also have designs early designs and concept art for key characters.

Version 1, which is currently in-development, is expected to be released in 2026. Version 2, pending funding, is planned for 2027.

See our promotional flyer below for the first main concept art and an FAQ about the project.
