Letters - Games

Letters in games transcend mere text, becoming interactive artifacts that drive narrative and gameplay. They can be collectible clues in mysteries, emotional anchors in character development, or environmental storytelling devices. Mechanically, letters often gate progression, reveal lore, or offer player choices through written responses. Their physicality—faded ink, hidden folds—adds tactile immersion. Symbolically, they represent connection across distance, lost histories, or the power of words to alter worlds. From quest-giving notes to fragmented diaries, letters transform passive reading into active discovery, making players archivists of the game's soul.
