Kind Words (lo fi chill beats to write to) is a casual indie game developed by Popcannibal, consisting of programmer and designer Ziba Scott and artist Luigi Guatieri. The game was released as a Humble Original as part of the July 2019 Humble Monthly Bundle, and was released on Steam on September 2019.[1] In the game, the player can send and request letters to and from other players anonymously, while lo-fi music plays in the background.[2][3]
Gameplay
When first opening the game, the player is met by a mail carrier deer, who is nervous of their new job. After writing a short letter to inspire the deer, the player is then asked for their name, of which the first character is used as their actual name in the game. The player can then choose to either write an anonymous letter to someone requesting letters, request letters from other players, or send a paper airplane, with a short message attached.[4]
The only view available is the player's bedroom, which is a square room with the player's bed, desk, shelves (which are used to display physical representation of the player's stickers, if they choose to do so), and stereo which can be used to control the currently playing background song.
Letters
The player can anonymously request letters from other players, and can also send a letter to other players who are requesting letters. When a player chooses to write a letter, the player can choose to reply to or skip a request from their queue. Each request is a short statement on a card, and each letter is a message on a piece of paper. The player may also choose to include a sticker among a collection of stickers sent to them by previous players.
When a player receives a letter, it goes into the player's inbox. There, they can read responses to their past requests made by other players.[5]
Paper airplanes
Paper airplanes can be seen flying across the screen. When clicked, the paper airplane will show the message inside. These paper airplanes contain short messages by other players, usually containing inspirational messages or good vibes.[6] The player can also choose to write messages to be sent as paper airplanes themselves.
