Pencil Stories

Pencil Stories is a hand-drawn puzzle game set in the village of Tsukinoma after midnight. You play as Letty, who investigates an undeliverable letter each night, uncovering its hidden message and finding the secret mailbox where it belongs. Solving the puzzles reveals fragments of correspondence and expands the village, opening new areas to explore.

Explore Tsukinoma

You can take your time wandering through the sleeping village and discovering its details. The island’s inhabitants sleep as soothing music accompanies your exploration. The stories you uncover are about everyday life and relationships between the village’s residents.

As Letty moves, she continuously reveals more elements of the world. The puzzles ask you to decipher poems, symbols, sketches and notes, unmask hidden text, and locate mailboxes. As Tsukinoma expands, deduction becomes more important than searching every location. Letty unlocks tools over time, including a magnifying glass, to reveal secrets in the letters, and can offer hints if you get stuck.

A relaxed journey

The game has no time limits or combat. It spans about six chapters and takes approximately 2 to 4 hours to play. You can control Letty with a mouse, keyboard or controller.
