Million Letter Update: New room! New stickers!
Kind Words' big hearted players have written each other a million letters. That's not counting the 300,000 paper airplanes with words of encouragement you've thrown. No, that's specifically letters written in response to strangers' requests for comfort or advice. Almost every word and every minute of that time was focused on lifting up another person. You players have done something amazing!
The least we could do in response was to stick a cute frog in the game. Also, we like you so much that we decided to do more than the least. Today we've added
You're writing so much more than we ever imagined that our interfaces weren't keeping up. We've reorganized the inbox. Now you can view your messages sorted either by newest responses or grouped together by request.
Both modes will stream in your letters from the server as you browse, allowing you to keep a library of hundreds of letters without your computer breaking a sweat. There are more improvements needed for our most prolific writers, but this should help!
There's a new options button!
Which goes to the new options menu!
It has toggles for toggling toggle-able options!
Thank you all so much for playing! Ziba & Luigi

A Million Letters!
Kind Words' big hearted players have written each other a million letters. That's not counting the 300,000 paper airplanes with words of encouragement you've thrown. No, that's specifically letters written in response to strangers' requests for comfort or advice. Almost every word and every minute of that time was focused on lifting up another person. You players have done something amazing!
New Room and Stickers!
The least we could do in response was to stick a cute frog in the game. Also, we like you so much that we decided to do more than the least. Today we've added
- 10 new stickers
- each with a new decoration
- and a new blue room in which to enjoy them!
New Inbox
You're writing so much more than we ever imagined that our interfaces weren't keeping up. We've reorganized the inbox. Now you can view your messages sorted either by newest responses or grouped together by request.
Both modes will stream in your letters from the server as you browse, allowing you to keep a library of hundreds of letters without your computer breaking a sweat. There are more improvements needed for our most prolific writers, but this should help!
Options Galore!
There's a new options button!
Which goes to the new options menu!
It has toggles for toggling toggle-able options!
- A buffet of graphical options!
- You can change the signature that is automatically appended to letters!
- A wildly dangerous button for erasing your save game! (It does ask you to confirm)
Various Things That I've Lumped Under One Heading
- Big performance improvements for older machines
- A warning if you start the game on a computer that's probably too old to play it
- Link to the FAQ in help
- Minor visual contrast improvements on the help screen
- 27.8MB smaller, even with the new room!
- Updated to Unity 2019.3
Dramatic Conclusion
Thank you all so much for playing! Ziba & Luigi

Write Nice Letters to People and Get Stickers
Has something got you down? Stressed you out? Scared you? That's pretty normal. It might help you to talk about it.In Kind Words, players anonymously write out their concerns and sorrows by making short requests for letters.
Receive Comforting Letters
Everyone can respond to requests with letters of comfort, sympathy or gentle advice.Kind Words is a positive context; a warm, cozy mood. A place to feel centered and focused on the opportunity presented:
Use your words to lift others and be lifted in return.
Oh, and There’s Stickers!
You start the game with a couple random stickers in their inventory.Stickers can be placed on letters written to others or sent as an appreciative response to a letter that has been received.
Once you get a new sticker, you can make copies of that sticker to send out to other players.
Each sticker also comes with a 3D toy that you can put on display in your room.
Swap letters to build up your collection of stickers and room decorations!
