Can you take control of a mail distribution company where your business will need to adapt to a growing city? Will you be able to handle the pressure of new delivery opportunities or are other delivery businesses step in to pick up the slack and impact your profit margin. In Excalibur’s Post Master you’ll start out with a single post office, supplying pick-up and delivery services for a small area of the city. To maintain an excellent service you’ll need to hire workers to sort mail, contract security guards to protect your offices from robberies while also purchasing new vehicles to pick up and deliver mail. Once you’ve settled into your first office, you’ll need to look to the future of your company and determine the best plan of action to expand your services. Will you look to provide the best mail distribution system but supply a small area, or are you looking to conquer the city with several offices and a vast fleet of vehicles. In order to maintain your claim on postal services for parts of the city, you’re going to need to remain competitive. With a rival business looking to take a cut of the services there are methods of attack to remain the superior mail distribution business. You can carefully plan your delivery routes to make your average delivery time faster than anyone else, or you could lower the prices of your services to remain the cheapest. Less

Not a sim

Post Master is kind of like a mobile game made for PC. It has clumsy menus, no hotkeys, represents information poorly, offers little actual control over what you do and requires you to do menial tasks (hire/buy X of Y) to unlock cars and office upgrades.

All post offices look the same, cars have been lazily named (e.g. "superior truck") and the 'city' is a bizarre patchwork of semi-randomly placed blocks that looks nothing like an actual city.

Days pass by extremely slowly even at the highest speed and there's a prompt at the start of each day which pauses the game and you can't disable it.

It claims to be a sim but it's more a casual clicking game without any depth or things to accomplish.

I love the post office, and I love sims. So this??? Seemed perfect??? Only when I tried to play, it was in early access (unsure if it still is), and you follow really easy instructions to set up two shops, and then.... you sit and wait. I'm not sure if it gets any better. That's really as far as I got? It wasn't fun. There weren't options. It was just "here is the exact set up for these two shops. K. Now watch your mail trucks zoom around."
