Mail Time is a relaxing, cottagecore adventure set in a peaceful forest, far, far away. Use each job as an opportunity to explore the forest, meet diverse and cute critters around Grumblewood Grove, handle their packages with the utmost care, and listen to each of their stories. Motivate a training-focused turtle, act as the wingmate of a snail with a secret crush, or join an old soul as they relive their best memories.

Jump and bounce onto mushrooms or branches to discover dilapidated delivery routes and collect special bottle caps hidden throughout eight different locations full of cozy vibes. Personalize the protagonist Mail Scout with more than 46,000 combinations between their pronouns, colors, hair style, mail bag, clothing, and skin tone. Grumblewood Grove welcomes anyone and everyone to make a home here. 

Their recipients eagerly await the sight of your mushroom hat, so don't tarry! That's right. It's Mail Time!

23-year-old solo developer Kela Van Der Deijl and publisher Freedom Games announced during Wholesome Snack’s pre-show segment before The Game Awards that Mail Time will be coming to PS4 and PS5 in April 2023 simultaneously alongside the previously announced Nintendo Switch, PC, and Mac editions.

“Mail Time is now one delivery stop closer to release! I hope everyone at The Game Awards enjoyed their animated trailer package,” said Kela Van Der Deijl, Creator of Mail Time, “I am stoked that Freedom Games is helping bring my life’s work to both the Nintendo’s and PlayStation cozy communities. Everyone get your fuzziest socks and your warmest cup of hot chocolate, Mail Time is on its way to your doorstep next spring.”
