The hands down funniest thing about this game is that if a car comes up behind you while the mail truck isn't in motion, it gets stuck. It doesn't realize when the truck pulls away, so it just sits there for the rest of the day honking angrily. And backing up traffic. I found this out when early in the virtual day I stopped the truck to deliver a package, came back to find a car stuck behind the truck, took Meredith on her rounds, and came back at the end of the day to find 27 cars backed up across all corners of the intersection. (Not a guesstimate. I counted between giggles.)
I kind of hope they never patch this. It's a thing of beauty.

This is a quick, cozy game where you make choices that impact your ending.

Meredith is a big-city computer programmer who returns to her small town to fill in for her dad as a mail carrier for two weeks. There are romance options and various NPCs she meets as she delivers mail and packages in 1986. It's a cute game but a bit repetitious with the mail deliveries. You have to drive the mail truck which, to be fair, I'm a horrible games driver (still have nightmares over the Nomad in Mass Effect), though it's pretty easy and there are no penalties if you hit something. The 1980's esthetic was done well though I wished there had been more of a story for the game time.

This is so hallmark it’s so funny I kinda love it. The way she’s the hardest worker and the boss doesn’t fully see or appreciate that, that will lead her to feel disillusioned by the city lmaoo my sister and I are just picking the most passive aggressive responses 😭

I was a bit worried that the quietness that was so charming in a 30 minute demo would turn into boringness for the full game. Fortunately it has not.

I really enjoyed this game. I got to play with my sister and we had fun getting to know the characters in the town, driving around to explore and deliver mail and making life choices for the main character. It’s a nice laid back game with a good story and great art.

Nice seeing this game on the New Releases strip. The demo was extremely pleasant. It might give me whiplash if I play it directly after playing it Saints Row The Third, though.

Played part of the demo on a whim and was positively surprised. Kind of a weird game. Drive around, deliver mail, talk to people.
