Every once in a while, you get the itch to play something completely out of your comfort zone. You may be burned out of the long grind of RPGs and don’t really want to get locked into intense online multiplayer battles. In this case, Kind Words may be just the game for you. It’s one of the chillest games you can find on the Steam platform right now.
The premise is pretty charming. You get to sit down and type out letters to actual people. There’s just something so special about the ability to do this. Someone in real life will get your personalized message, thus connecting you to the game in a novel way. You can spread positivity and make others around the globe feel better about themselves or their personal situation.
The game starts out with you sitting down and writing out some concerns. It can be anything really. A job may have got you down or you may be in a struggling relationship. You get to voice these concerns anonymously, so you don’t have to worry about anyone recognizing you and subsequently judging you.
Users who receive your letter requests can respond with messages of positivity. Kind Words is actually pretty therapeutic when you stop to think about its design. Everyone needs an outlet to vent their emotions. This game gives you a comforting outlet that can actually lead to real-life breakthroughs.
In addition to these letters, you’ll get to acquire cute little stickers. They can be placed on letters to make them more fun and personal. Once you acquire a new sticker, it can be copied and then sent to as many people as you want. Even the way the letters are delivered is pretty charming as a deer takes all requests.
While you’re writing and receiving these personal messages from strangers, you get to sit back and kick it in a cozy little room. There’s chill-lofi music playing in the background. It’s the perfect music for this game, really. As you’re receiving advice and giving it right back, the lofi beats ease your tension and immerse you fully in this comfortable experience.
You would be hard-pressed to find a more charming and comforting game on the marketplace. It’s nice to not have to worry about intricate controls or a detailed story. You just sit in your room and spread positivity throughout the gaming community. It’s an amazing experience.
