« It is a fun game, it is exactly what I expected for it's price. Kind of like Creature Kitchen, but I didn't like it as much. I wouldn't go in with very high expectations, but it is fun for 9$. »

« Such a fun game! The atmosphere is perfect, spooky with a lot of humour. The core game of sorting the mail is both challenging and fun, with a great story intertwined! Beautifully polished and some great extras with the Twitch integration! »
