Hello Data Conversion Operators. Another new patch is available.
Hello Data Conversion Operators. A new patch is available.
Thank you Data Conversion Operators for an intense 1st day. I'm working around the clock to patch up any game-breaking issues.
Fixing a video codec issue that would cause some letters to not appear correctly, usually as a complete solid black or solid white object, and basically be unsolvable for users on certain Windows machines. Please reach out to me ASAP if you find yourself encountering this in version 1.0.1 or higher.
Taking a temp job while you get situated in a new city, you are tasked with data-entry-like work of typing up the words and addresses on mail & letters that were not deliverable- due to bad handwriting or other odd reasons. As the days pass, strange stories begin to emerge from the mail, you can't ever shake this feeling you're being watched. [previewyoutube=uCByepaHNyg;full][/previewyoutube] Working in a dingy warehouse, isolated from anyone and everyone, your only connection to the outside world are glimpses of letters that couldn't reach their destination. As time goes on, working conditions become questionable and dreamlike. Oddities and cracks begin to appear. Making money for rent is important, but at what cost.
DEAD LETTER DEPT. ARRIVING JANUARY 30TH FOR
WINDOWS + LINUX / STEAM OS
It's a long story really. What began as a casual investigation into making sure the game functionally runs on Steam Deck, turned into: 'Oh, the game appears to run surprisingly well on Linux???' Frankly I anticipated random filesystem explosions and graphical razorblades to have to solve for this, like with any port. But nope? It's been tested on 4 different distros (Zorin, Arch, Ubuntu, and the SteamOS of course) and appears to run pretty identical to its Windows counterpart. So I think that's cautiously optimistic enough results to try.
Frankly making a Linux version automatically solves a MASSIVE GAMEBREAKING VIDEO CODEC issue if the game would be run under Proton (on the Steam Deck), so I might as just publish a Linux version.
I realize the Linux user demand for this game isn't necessarily huge (to be fair I haven't listed it as Linux supported yet either), but I'm willing to give it a fair shot. Linux fascinates and terrifies.

It's been a strange & difficult path but it is with great pleasure I'm able to announce DEAD LETTER DEPT. is finally going to be arriving on STEAM, this month on January 30th.

Please do me a favor if you can and do share DEAD LETTER DEPT. around, whether it be the TRAILER or the STEAM PAGE. And if you are media/a creator and need assets, please check out the presskit and reach out if you need anything.

Thank you for your patience all this time. I'm happy to finally present the new full trailer for DEAD LETTER DEPT. to celebrate the game coming close to being completed. Let me know what you think.
DEAD LETTER DEPT. is an experimental typing horror game experience, placing you as a transplant moving to a new city working in a temp job- helping to transcribe undelivered mail that failed automated computer recognition. Whether because the mail was damaged, the handwriting was illegible, or something worse. Working in a dingy warehouse, isolated from anyone and everyone, your only connection to the outside world are glimpses of letters that couldn't reach their destination.
You use your computer keyboard to type in various prompts presented, and attempt to decipher damaged images. As time goes on, working conditions become questionable and dreamlike. Oddities and cracks begin to appear. Making money for rent is important, but at what cost.
PLEASE THE ALGORITHM ELDRITCH LORDS BY WISHLISTING NOW

Stay tuned,

After what feels like ages, the game is in the final stages of development, so look forward to a bunch more announcements & details coming soon. Thank you for your patience.
Hello. The demo for DEAD LETTER DEPT has been patched to fix a couple odd bugs that might soft-lock the game in bizarre un-intended ways. While DEAD LETTER DEPT is admittedly mysterious on purpose, if you find the game locking up or no longer responsive to keyboard input, please report it via the Steam forums.
you got yourself an apartment, and secured a temp data entry job- just to keep you afloat till something better comes along. YOUR OFFICIAL TITLE IS A DATA CONVERSION OPERATOR, but you're really more like a warm body who types up all the junk computers still can't read.
you go to work & process the images displayed on your terminal, and type up whatever random text is in front of you. Whatever can be made out, that is.
Sometimes the mail you receive is a little strange- letters and lost mail, some mangled and twisted, that have travelled from place to place with nowhere else to go.
Sometimes, it feels like it's talking to you directly through the screen...
USE YOUR KEYBOARD to type in various prompts, and attempt to decipher damaged images
MULTIPLE ENDINGS & buried secrets to uncover
NO TWO PLAYTHROUGHS are exactly the same (Estimated playtime: 120min per run)
A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF MAIL to voyeur through, and catch glimpses into other lives
ATMOSPHERIC HORROR MOOD with rich sound designed to crawl under your skin
Key re-binding is available, but a keyboard with Function Keys and Control Keys (Insert, Page Up/Page Down) is strongly recommended.
