Escape from Okinawa holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3.

Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Escape from Okinawa's written reviews are positive against 71% of 手紙屋's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Escape from Okinawa ships an update every 17 months, 手紙屋 monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
