Publisher Freedom Games and developer Kela van der Deijl announced a release date for Mail Time, their cute “cottagecore” 3D platformer.
The throwback 3D platformer is launching for Windows PC (via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store) on April 27th and sometime this summer across Switch, PS4, and PS5.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
Mail Time is a relaxing, cottagecore adventure set in a peaceful forest, far, far away. It’s your first day on the job as a newly minted Mail Scout. Equipped with a mushroom hat, a pack full of letters, and unbridled enthusiasm, it’s time to deliver letters and packages across the Grumblewood Grove.
Their recipients eagerly await the sight of your mushroom hat, so don’t tarry! Run, jump, glide, and make your way across the forest to deliver parcels and joy to the cute critters that inhabit these woods.
That’s right. It’s Mail Time!
