LadiesGamers.comLynne NeweyOct 2023Mail Time is definitely one to write home about. The short adventure delivers you to the whimsical world of Grumblewood Grove, with its quirky houses and fascinating residents. The imagination in both the scenery and characters makes for a truly delightful experience.

DestructoidZoey HandleyApr 20238/10Impressive efforts with a few noticeable problems holding them back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.

The Punished BacklogAmanda TienOct 20239/10Mail Time is one of the sweetest and most comforting experiences I’ve had in a long time. Despite its relatively short five-hour runtime, Mail Time doesn’t feel small. It’s a great example of quality over quantity. If you are remotely interested in cute forest animals and/or the mail, you’ll want to add Mail Time to your gaming route.

Checkpoint GamingDavid McNamaraApr 20235/10It's disappointing to come away from Mail Time feeling more frustrated than relaxed. All of the elements for an adorable, wholesome experience are there: its cast of animal characters are incredibly well-written, its art direction is delightful, and the entire premise is utterly charming. Unfortunately, a litany of glitches and janky platforming controls really disrupt its vibe. While I'm hopeful that its incredibly ambitious solo developer is able to support the game with patches down the track, it's sadly difficult to recommend Mail Time in its current state.

FingerGunsKat BullockApr 20235/10Whilst having well paced gameplay, cute cottagecore aesthetic and whimsical environments. Mail Time has been delivered with the video game version of annoying spam; significant screen tear, unfixable features in game impacting the story and texture popping. A lovely game which can only be recommended once the spam is returned to sender.
