Laugh-Out-Loud Writing
Sharp dialogue, absurd situations, and characters who are simultaneously incompetent and endearing. Think Discworld by way of The Good Place.
The Midnight Mailroom
Penny the Poltergeist handles night shift at the Ethereal Postal Service. When mail gets catastrophically misdelivered, she discovers cosmic bureaucracy failing spectacularly. Monkey Island meets Discworld.
Concept Complete
Neither Snow Nor Rain... Nor Death
Penny died in 1952 and immediately started her new job at the Ethereal Postal Service—the cosmic mail system that delivers messages between realms, dimensions, and planes of existence. She's been working the night shift for 70 years. She's very good at her job.
Then one night, everything goes wrong. A love letter from the Underworld gets sent to the Heaven Annexe. A cease-and-desist from the Fae Court ends up in Limbo. A interdimensional package containing something probably dangerous goes... somewhere. And Penny has to fix it all before her shift ends.
The Midnight Mailroom is a comedic point-and-click adventure about cosmic bureaucracy, impossible puzzles, and one very exhausted poltergeist trying to keep the multiverse's mail system from collapsing completely.
Special Delivery
Memorable Characters
Angels with expense reports, demons filing complaints, and a boss who hasn't been seen in three dimensions simultaneously since the 1980s.
Clever Puzzles
Classic adventure game logic with cosmic twists. Solve puzzles using interdimensional mail regulations and creative interpretations of physics.
Multiple Realms
Travel between Heaven, Hell, Limbo, the Fae Court, and stranger places. Each realm has its own aesthetic and postal regulations.
Episodic Structure
Each episode is a self-contained mail disaster. Season structure means bite-sized adventures that build to a larger story.
Hand-Painted Beauty
Every scene crafted with care. Whimsical art style that blends 1950s office aesthetics with cosmic impossibility.
The Ethereal Postal Service
The EPS has been delivering mail across realities since before time was properly sorted. Their filing system predates the universe. Their regulations were written in languages that no longer exist. And their employee handbook was lost in a dimensional anomaly sometime around the Renaissance.
Despite all this, the mail usually gets delivered. Penny takes pride in her perfect record—70 years without a single misfiled letter. Until tonight, when everything that could go wrong does, and Penny discovers that cosmic bureaucracy is held together by paperclips, hope, and the dedication of night shift workers who just want to do their jobs.
She'll need to navigate divine red tape, negotiate with interdimensional entities, and possibly violate a few cosmic regulations to fix this mess before her supervisor (who exists in multiple time zones simultaneously) finds out.

Is it just comedy or is there a story?
Both! Each episode is hilarious, but there's an overarching mystery about why the mail system is failing and what Penny's boss has been hiding.
Are the puzzles hard?
Designed to be fair but clever. No moon logic—every puzzle solution makes sense in hindsight. Built-in hint system for when you're stuck.
