Very well written, I was actually invested in the story from the beginning.

I immediately thought of flappy bird but upwards :D Really well made!

Nice little platformer, well made!

Really fun and clever puzzle game. Reminded me of Portal

Nope, I tried chrome and firefox, still isnt showing. I guess Im on hardcore mode :D

Wow! Such crazy polish; animations, juice, quality of life in such a short amount of time. Limitations could use a little touch, but really feels like a paid game.

Really want to play this but my cursor is not showing me any traps :(

Very solid game. Impressively polished and actually fun to play. I wouldve liked a interactive tutorial, like a glowing machine or something because I have no idea how this coffee brewing works. Other than that… I lost to the gnomes, lol.

Really cute. Im kinda bad at following the story but it’s still a unique style.

Actually quite enjoined this platformer. A little polish around the edges and it would actually be a good game. You did a good job with the level design

Nice idea but I kinda skipped to the end without doing the maze.

Thank you! Means a lot!

Shooting the pumpkin man was cool

Hi all! I just released Return to Sender, a short story-driven desk game. It’s free and plays in your browser.

▸ Play it here: https://red-thread.itch.io/return-to-sender

You are the only clerk at Branch 7B of the Lesser Fold post office. Customers slide letters and parcels across your counter. You weigh them, count the stamps, check the rulebook and bring the rubber stamp down: ACCEPT or RETURN.

The catch is the Ministry of Post. A new rule arrives by pneumatic tube every morning. It starts sensibly with one stamp per 100 grams. Then the Ministry is on the fourth floor, so mail to the Capital needs an extra stamp for the stairs. No parcel may outweigh the Minister’s cat. Mail to persons named Gustav is suspended. By day ten you’re juggling eight rules at once.

Your regulars are a problem too. Mrs. Pell keeps writing to her late husband in Heaven, Upper District, which is not an approved destination. A man from a private courier keeps leaving banknotes under his parcels. What you stamp comes back days later, and there are three endings.

What’s in it
• 10 days, about an hour to an hour and a half
• Mouse only, with a guided first day
• Three strikes a day before you’re sent home
• Three endings
• Browser and Windows

This is my second game here under the Red Thread label. I’d love to hear which rule broke you, and which ending you got!
