Dear Devere

About

Dear Devere casts you as a woman receiving letters from a mysterious stranger in 1930s Scotland. Each hand-written note reveals fragments of his life, a growing romance, and a hidden crime. You read, respond, and uncover truths by tracking clues in his words and the physical objects he sends. The story unfolds at a deliberate pace with minimal branching choices, focusing on emotional resonance over complex interactivity. Set against foggy moors and candlelit rooms, the game leans into its epistolary format to build intimacy. Developer Jasmine Osler wrote and illustrated the project alone, which shows in its polished yet small-scale execution. With a runtime of 5-7 hours, it’s a brief but atmospheric experience. Player feedback is split, some found the pacing slow, while others praised its quiet charm. On Steam, it sits at 75% positive with over 10,000 owners.
