This is a really cute entry. The art is really adorable. Sound design was fitting as well. I enjoyed the amount of available options for writing letters. On the final letter, the image of the character didn't appear, other than that, everything seemed to work as intended.

I think the character art for the third character bugged out so couldn't see what they looked like but yeaa the art is quite nice and you have made each character story quite specific and unique to them, so that's pretty nice too. The only thing that felt missing was knowing the consequence, like if the letter was written badly and miscommunicated something then the character would come back to tell us about that. Or maybe just the part where they tell how it went. Just some food for thought if you pursue this further. It's still quite a nice game.

Such a cute game!! I was really surprised at just how into the letter-writing I got. You've landed on a really engaging structure! The information gathering phase translated really naturally into the letter-writing stage, and I love that you went through the effort of having all of these different tones and sentences for each part of the letter tailored to that specific relationship. Not only does that effort not go unnoticed, but it really made the whole thing feel alive---there were some letters I tried rewriting multiple times just to see how good I can make it, options that warmed my heart, options that made me wince! In particular, loved the detail about asking the characters how often they talk and if they think their crush loves them back (the one or two that said "No." made my heart race! The drama of it all!)

To really complete the package, I'd love to see some response from the characters after you give the letter (or maybe, more narratively, after they give their letters to their crushes?). It could have a dual role of both giving some satisfying dialogue and also giving some more specific feedback to the player if, after a few attempts, they can't get a higher score on writing the letter. That said, I know that's even extra scripting and writing to make sure that each response feels unique, especially when the rest of the writing is as detailed as it is. I think even without it right now, the characters have a lot of life and charm to them. 

Great work!! Thank you for sharing! :D

This is such a cute and creative concept! >w< I had a lot of fun with it!^^

Developer

Thank you! What was the part you liked the most?

Besides the art, I really enjoyed figuring out the personalities of both sides (customers and their crushes) to pick the perfect words and stickers! I hope there’ll be more characters with tricky personalities in future updates! >^<

Agree that it is a cute game with well polished art, but not my style of gameplay.  There was a strange repetitive sound, but perhaps that was intended during the menu/option to make a choice, etc.

Developer

Thanks! And yes, it's probably the sound effect of hovering over a button. Do you think it'd be better if I removed it?

it is a cute game with well-poslished art, and I must say that I enjoyed playing  a lot getting to know about characters' personality. 

Developer

Thank you! Do you think there should be more narrative added?

I don't think I have any suggestions for adding a narrative section right now. Though I would say it would be lovely if there was an scene showing customers and the person they wanted to send letter to after we had the scores :D

it isnt really the type of game i like to play but the art was beautiful and it was definitely on theme  

Developer

Do you think there should've been a timer or something to add more pressure?

it was a nice puzzle writing the letters

Developer

Thank you!
