Game Thoughts: Catto’s Post Office Is a Short & Sweet Jaunt

Although I gravitate toward long, narrative games I can get lost in for hours (regardless of genre), occasionally I want to play something short, sweet, and warm. Catto’s Post Office, a new casual game from In Shambles Studio and Cult Games, fits that bill perfectly. It took me less than an hour to play through the entire story and I genuinely enjoyed every minute of it.

In Catto’s Post Office, you

“O, there is lovely to feel a book, a good book, firm in the hand, for its fatness holds rich promise, and you are hot inside to think of good hours to come.”
Richard Llewellyn, How Green Was My Valley

Zelda Fitzgerald
“She refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn't boring.”
Zelda Fitzgerald, The Collected Writings

Amal El-Mohtar
“I want to be a body for you. I want to chase you, find you, I want to be eluded and teased and adored; I want to be defeated and victorious—I want you to cut me, sharpen me. I want to drink tea beside you in ten years or a thousand. Flowers grow far away on a planet they’ll call Cephalus, and these flowers bloom once a century, when the living star and its black-hole binary enter conjunction.I want to fix you a bouquet of them, gathered across eight hundred thousand years, so you can draw our whole engagement in a single breath, all the ages we’ve shaped together.”
Amal El-Mohtar, This Is How You Lose the Time War
