My Late Father’s Correspondence is an epistolary roleplaying game of bittersweet family drama. You play as the younger child of the deceased Col. Thomas Lockley, answering letters he can no longer reply to, and learning about the father who played a difficult role in your life. The game is simple—you will open, read, and reply to the letters you receive at Eadly Hall. However, family, duty, and grief are not simple at all, and you will make hard decisions about the future to come.
You can play My Late Father’s Correspondence by yourself or with two players. As the letters you receive arrive over time, you can enjoy an unfolding story over days or weeks of real life play, or binge the game like your favourite drama series.
The game has been painstakingly compiled, with 70+ pages of detailed handwritten letters and documents. Even the ink colours, stationary, and postmarks stamped on each letter have been historically researched and considered, giving clues about those who you will interact with and their world. We hope you will enjoy the details which bring the story of the game to life.
Is this for me?
My Late Father’s Correspondence is a bittersweet family drama, contemplative in tone and at times quietly tragic. It is rooted in the struggles of living day to day, so you won’t find any murder-mysteries or occult secrets contained within. Lean into your emotions and write with your heart.
If you enjoy historical or interactive fiction, this game might just be your cup of tea. It’s perfect if you’re craving an interactive literary experience to immerse you in a compelling story. And if you love a drama tone game of Good Society, or enjoy its epistolary phase, we really think this might be for you.
Features
When you play My Late Father’s Correspondence you will:
- Receive and reply to letters as your story unfolds: As new letters arrive over time, your story unfolds, twists, and changes. Play at a contemplative pace over days or weeks of real life time, or binge the game like your favourite drama series.
- Uncover family secrets and learn about a father you never understood: Your relationship with your father was both distant and difficult. He’s left behind his fair share of secrets, but unfortunately for you, your family’s scandals don’t end there.
- Face the pressures of duty and expectation and navigate your changing place in the world: A tumultuous time of change faces your family, and you’re stuck right in the centre of it. You will be called upon to make difficult decisions, organise your estate and father’s effects, and most importantly, decide your future.
- Relish in the details and enjoy playing in history: Pore over detailed handwritten letters and documents to discover more about the story. Our passion is to breathe life into history so it can, in turn, reinforce the themes of the game.
