Letters From Yesterday

Game Overview

Letters From Yesterday is a narrative-driven exploration game that focuses on memory, time, and emotional connection.

The player takes on the role of Rowan, a young man who gains the ability to shift between the past and present within the Howard Town. Through this mechanic, Rowan uncovers unresolved emotions, forgotten conversations, and hidden truths by interacting with people and objects that exist across different timelines.

Rather than presenting time travel as a conventional level-based system, the game treats both timelines as overlapping layers of the same physical space. This allows players to experience the environment in two emotional states, emphasizing the idea that memories are not separate worlds, but reflections of one another.

The overall tone of the game is calm, reflective and melancholic. Soft lighting, warm color palettes and gentle environmental sound design are used to create a slow-paced and emotionally immersive experience.
