In Dead Letter Dept., players assume the role of a Data Conversion Operator, transcribing addresses and fragmented letters as their daily work.

Initially, the job appears routine, but soon, unsettling and cryptic messages surface from the mail, transforming this ordinary office task into a psychological horror experience. Situated within the indie horror genre, the game eschews traditional jump scares, instead creating tension through atmospheric storytelling.

The game starts with a seemingly normal routine, gradually building to a series of peculiar events. The horror emerges through subtle disturbances infiltrating the protagonist’s workspace.

Focusing on a repetitive, low-stakes task like data entry heightens the sense of unease. Multiple narrative paths provide players with varied experiences, with each playthrough uncovering different story elements.

The Typing Game that Isn’t Just About Typing

Dead Letter Dept. presents a deceptively straightforward premise. Players type incomplete or damaged addresses and letter fragments on an old computer terminal.
