A Trick and a Treat: Dead Letters (And One Other)

About

A Trick and a Treat: Dead Letters (And One Other) is a visual novel split into two Halloween-themed stories. One follows a postal worker who stumbles on a mysterious letter that pulls him into a chilling mystery. The other follows a woman who walks in on her roommate mid-ritual, triggering a messy vampire-themed disaster. Players make dialogue choices that influence each tale’s direction. The game uses hand-drawn art and leans into spooky settings for one story, slapstick chaos for the other. Air Gong’s game stands out for packing two wildly different vibes into one package. Dead Letters builds slow-burn dread while Vamp Me! leans into over-the-top humor. Both stories are short but punchy, lasting under two hours each. The 2023 release includes optional jump scares and blood effects for horror fans. Community feedback notes the game is best for players who enjoy seasonal themes and don’t mind a mix of goofy and grim. Available on PC, Mac, and Linux.
