About the Game

OVERVIEW

Letters from the War is a modern reimagining of text adventure games with a new gameplay based on postal censorship during Second World War. You will take the role of a newly hired employ of the Censorship Authority, where your actions will impact on the future of your nation.

GAMEPLAY

Censor letters coming from soldiers at the front trying to understand what you need to do not to be fired. Censoring critical information you will get commendations from your boss, but the citizens who youl receive the letters will not understand their content. Leaving the information readable you will risk to be fired in order to let the people know what is really happening. What will you do? Will you find the correct balance?

STORY

The game takes place in Vitulia, a fictional country involved in Second World War. An authoritarian regime rules in Vitualia, which controls the masses thanks to its supervision on public information. Will you change that?

ART

Experience a well-finished pixel art and an original soundtrack that will immerse you in the atmosphere of those years. Newspaper, letters and country spots were created, along with the music pieces, taking inspiration from first half of last century sources, but redesigned to enhance player experience.
