The Letter

The Letter is a horror-drama visual novel with a branching narrative. You follow seven playable characters as they fall prey to a vicious curse that has plagued Ermengarde Mansion for centuries. The story is told out of chronological order, and your choices shape its events and the characters’ fates.

Story and relationships

Alongside horror, the game focuses on romance, friendship, drama and character development. Your choices can affect relationships, including whether you mend one on the verge of collapse, and whether you risk saving someone or leave them to die. The seven characters have different personalities and approaches to difficult situations, and choices can have far-reaching effects on the story.

Visual novel features

The game contains over 700,000 words, with optional English voice acting and optional Quick-Time Events. Animated backgrounds, CGs and sprites accompany the story. Its painted artwork includes over 80 backgrounds, 100 CGs and 50 Epilogue CGs, including variations.

Routes and soundtrack

A branching tree tracks your progress and routes. A journal presents events in chronological order and records clues you find about Ermengarde Mansion. The original soundtrack includes opening, ending and true ending theme songs, and the game has over 170 achievements.
