About This Game

Handwritten nostalgia

Journey back to the 90s and move through beautifully hand-drawn letters, as you follow the life of Sarah. Learn more about her friends, nerdy obsessions or why she has the most annoying sister ever.

Then go digital as Sarah grows older. Revel in the nostalgic pixel world of the early 2000s internet while navigating all the drama, anxiety and joys of teenagehood.


Shape your future

Watch Sarah grow up and make decisions that will change how her life will turn out as an adult (no pressure). Take revenge on your sister, play video games all day or fall in love. It’s all up to you.

Don’t like the outcome? Just go ahead and rewrite her story. (See? we told you, no pressure.)


Power of words

In a world made from paper and computers, words matter. So use them to change drawings that block your way, help friendly characters and interact with Sarah's friends.

Finding the right words is hard sometimes. Especially for shy people like Sarah. So help her by breaking them apart and creating new ones for her to use instead.


Playfully wholesome

Letters is a cozy, often funny, sometimes sad game about friendship, growing up and finding your way in life. Explore Sarah’s colorful world and use the power of words to change her life!

Or… just stack cats or something.
