Forgston Postal
Forgston Postal is a retrieval clue game formed by Steel Peak Games as part of the 2022 Wholesome Games Jam.
This game is the brain-child of our take on the theme ‘Community’. Combining mail, mystery and a healthy enthusiasm for frogs, a postal delivery adventure was created. Here you will experience the life of Giuseppe, as our young hopper gains a passion for mail delivery in the midst of a storm.
Collect letters, solve clues and interact with the world of Forgston. Who knows what secrets you will unfold?
Most of the assets are our own, except the font from dafont.com: Simple Font - which we do not take credit for.
Forgston Postal was made in 48-hours, so ignore any bugs and have fun!

A very cute and charming puzzle game of delivering letters! I like that the sense of community is baked into talking to the residents to find out who the unknown letters are supposed to go to. Perhaps the house numbers should still be shown to ground the player in the world, both in the narrative sense and as a starting point to help the player out in the beginning, because it feels a bit weird not to know the house numbers even though I am a postfrog, haha! The voice acting is superb and made me felt more immersed. All in all, it’s quite an enjoyable puzzle game. Excellent work!
Neat concept and nice art, music and voice acting.
I just guessed for all my deliveries and ended off with a character telling me they're expecting another letter before the game told me I delivered them all, lol. House numbers, or letting us know the character names, or even a very barebones map with limited info on it would be nice just to give some leads to start (tho I'm sure you know all that and were the jam longer things would have been different)
Nice work everyone!
Really nice art and I like the mail mechanic, I think it was pretty original! But my favorite part was the voice acting, as a music producer I must say, they were VERY professional on passing the feelings and I really loved that, cgrats on the game!
I can't really do anything in the game right now. I can pick up letters, they're really small in the inventory and I can barely read what they say most the time... And talking to people or delivering stuff doesn't seem to work. Also the hitboxes on trees and rocks and stuff are all over the place
After asking about it apparently you have to get the deliveries right to get any reaction from npcs and I just didn't do that. It seems hard to figure out what goes to whom cause I don't know the frogs' names. Some feedback for giving the wrong delivery might be nice too.
The art looks cute in general, but it's a bit weird how abruptly the map just ends.
Cute game 💕
I love the art style, and the voicing on all those dialogue lines add a lot to the experiences! Impressive to see that in a jam game! The music fits well too.
I had a bit of trouble understanding clues so I mostly erred randomly and tried several letters for each character, but had fun anyway!
Great job ✨
