Draw routes, link your network and give every letter a way to reach the person waiting for it. A COZY WORLD, A CLEVER CHALLENGE Start with a few islands and two spirits. As the night unfolds, new islands appear and mail queues grow. Extend your routes, plan transfers and assign your spirits where they are needed most. You can pause to rethink your network. 15 WORLDS TO RECONNECT Travel through 75 nights, from the Central Post to Cloud Gardens and distant skies. Each world brings its own scenery and new rules.

Procedural island layouts make each journey a little different. MAKE THE ISLANDS FEEL LIKE HOME Spend the star ink you earn to restore each world's square. Bring back lights, flowers and little gathering places, one improvement at a time. 30 LETTERS, ONE CONNECTED STORY Read the letters of Mia, Lina and the other island residents.
