News The Letter Version 1.1 Update Has a New Trailer
Reaching for more stars?
Notorious indie title The Letter has had a storied history at Nintendo Life, being something of a poster child for quality control on the Wii U eShop and the recipient of a rare if not prestigious single star rating, with the major complaint being that there wasn't much to do, and what content there was ultimately didn't add...
News The Letter Plummets to a New Low With eShop Discount
Less than 50¢
In the last generation there were consistent arguments that the DSi and Wii download stores were a little too expensive and inflexible, while access for developers was excessively difficult. We've seen changes on both scores in the 3DS and Wii U eShop platforms, while lower-priced games have begun to gain more interest, with Gunman...

It's that time again, North American gamers, for more treats in the Nintendo Download Update. After the madness of last week's bonanza, we settle back to a smaller number of choices this time around. There's a retail release on both Wii U and 3DS, the continuation of a thoroughly decent...
About The Game
The Letter is a first person adventure horror game.
In this game you play as Michael Kennedy. Michael receives a letter from his from his father, Taylor James Kennedy, who is writing to him while on the verge of death. He states that by the time Michael reads the letter he will already be gone. Taylor does not have much to tell or leave his son, just one lasting statement, never trust anyone. He asks Michael to stay away from his job site, where he has gone missing. Of course, Michael is an adventurous young lad who loves his father dearly, although he has not always been there for him. Michael decides to head out of his house, or room in his remodeled industrial loft, and go to the job site anyway as he can not live without knowing what has happened to his father. From there he will discover clues and other letters leading to the conclusion of his father’s mystery. Where will these clues take you? Can Michael make it safely? What has happened to his father?

DAT ending...
looks fun for just $2
@spamineggs DON'T GET IT!!!, You will regret it
This game looks like one of my stupid horror-like games I throw together in Adventure Maker every so often.
I LOVE IT!!!
I kinda want this lmao
My brother picked this up, just cause it seemed interesting....one of the worst games ever. This is the kinda game I'd make people play to show them what not to do in game development.
Instead of buying, you could just watch the whole game (in under 6 minutes) here: http://www.destructoid.com/the-letter-is-an-unbelievable-new-wii-u-eshop-game-277906.phtml
Click on the "First Look?" video.
Wow. Just wow.
Such a letdown, but if it only raised $377, how could it have much content? I hope they get more funding so they can actually make a decent game.
I''m totally buying this game!
Probably the worst reviewed game on the eshop. Not a single positive review out there.
Horrifically poor looking (and sounding) game that seems to have just been thrown together in next to no time with Unity 3D. This isn't the first time Treefall Studios have developed crap, they've also done this:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1018049635/night-detective-0
and unbelievably, it was (just about) successfully funded. If you have a look at their stretch goals for Night Detective, these guys really do have delusions of grandeur given how lousy their output is. 'The Letter' should have been free, charging money for it is an absolute joke. Treefall have also put a video up on Youtube showing what will be in the first update....nothing worth getting excited about at all.
