A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Just another quick minor patch. Thank you for your keen eye and attention Data Conversion Operator ✉New in v1.6.4Bugfix for a specific detail that wouldn't get cleared out of memory properly, if one were to end a playthrough and started a new one immediately.
It has been 1 year.I've decided to commemorate with a small bit of making-of reminiscing. As a project with the central theme revolving around a distinctly physical medium, it seemed pretty un-deniable that it would involve a lot of paper textures. In 2021, as a person whose entire career has more or less existed inside whirring boxes and glowing screens, I found myself a little bit artistically exhausted with the digital- craving any sort of excuse to bring in more physically sourced elements.So, as DEAD LETTER DEPT. development went on, I found myself increasingly now collecting envelopes in
Welcome Data Conversion Operators, both junior and senior. Thank you for your hard work. This is just a quick minor patch.New in v1.6.2Quick fix for when Mouse Smoothing is set completely to OFF (previously the Yaxis apparently still received a smidge amount of dampening that would apparently cause light nausea to those sensitive to it)Update to fix Unity security bug for good measure. This was fairly low risk already thanks to the mitigation efforts of Steam, but it's still good to have killed it for good.

Trap your skeleton with horrible comfortSorry, no plushies to be found here. But some folks have inquired about wearables, so I've opened up a tiny Printful store for t-shirts and hoodies. What better way to head into fall than by showing your friends you're into obscure typing psychological horror and possibly also reading their mail.Incidentally it's easy to expand it to other kinds of wearables, so if you're looking for something else in particular, feel free to let me know.GRAB THEM HEREDEAD LETTER DEPT.

Hello new DCOs. Thank you all for your continued support and your bug reporting. Here's what's new in v1.6.2Fixing an uncommon softlock bug that could occur if you rapidly opened and closed the Pause menu repeatedly, that would prevent you from being able to interact with anything until Saving & Loading your game. 👉🔨
Hi folks. Thanks very much for your patience. So I know this took awhile, but I'm happy to announce that the DEAD LETTER DEPT.

Hello. Anyone still here? Just a real quick patch to fix one major issue a hero reported. Here's what's new in v1.6.1 Fixing a rare game breaking bug that could occur if you had the worst luck in the world, and you happened to enable the "Disable Cursive" option in the Accessibility settings while in the middle of a typing session Removing a lot of weird and confusing abbreviations specifically for North Charleston. (NO CHAS)
Thank you Data Conversion Operators for your valuable bug reports, feedback, and reviews. Here's what's new in v1.6: Fixing a bug where if you Saved and Quit with a very specific timing (right after starting your workday at the computer), if you then- from the Titlescreen- immediately loaded the Save it would put the game into such a w e i r d and cursed state that it even freaked ME out with how suddenly foreign and unreliable certain things now became... somehow while still kinda 'functioning'? As fun as this was though, it could easily soft lock the game (and possibly kill your playthrough)
Fixing an issue where if you saw the W▀░▒░▐,░N ending a 2nd time, a portion of it would be super dark Fixing some typos. "It's" is a villain. Fixing an issue that would prevent ░▐ ░▒░▐ from appearing Fixing insanely rare but technically achievable collision issue in the final section Fixed bug with the content warning not showing correctly for first time launch Some optimizations and memory reduction improvements

Hot fixing a critical issue preventing native Linux build from launching correctly if you have updated glibc to v2.41 (which apparently broke a lot of backwards compatibility, and fun fact was released the same day as DEAD LETTER DEPT.) Steam Forum thread about it here. Cloud syncing on Linux should now fully function correctly Fixing a rare edgecase issue where entering a Vertical Tab (somehow) in a very very specific circumstance could somehow cause the save data to get corrupted and ultimately reset itself. Also, I learned that Vertical Tabs are apparently a thing, but how you enter one in
Patch 1.4 Entire UI has been all adjusted to now properly layout for all horizontal based aspect ratios instead of clipping off the screen for edge cases like 3:2. Even in the weirdest of ratios it will still try its best. Thank you very much for your reviews and your bug reports.
