The first 5-7 hours of the main game is well-paced puzzle-solving action with some great music and the lightest touch of wholesome storytelling. That alone is worth the fifteen bucks. But the real secret sauce is New Game+, in which every puzzle from the main game (plus many extra puzzles) are all mixed together in one giant chain of never ending packages. It took me about 15 hours of sorting through pieces on the …

i've been having a very very stressful week so i decided to try out this game, and genuinely nothing has been able to relax me more than putting on a playlist or podcast and just Going At this game. ive played for what felt like minutes, only to look at the time and realize its been hours. it really sucks you in! in a good way!!! so so delightful, i love wilmot so much, and all the interactions with sam are so cute …

A game that helped me to relax during a stressful period. I am grateful its approach was non-pushing, which allowed me to pace the experience and enjoy it to its full extent. The variety of subjects is big, and none of the puzzles felt impossible, even if waiting for those last few pieces was frustrating sometimes. I suggest this game to whoever wants to chill for a few hours, zoning out from everything.

It's like Wilmot's Warehouse, but wayy less stressful. I love the simple mechanics and there's so many different puzzles to do! It's honestly kinda nice to unwind and get lost in trying to match up the different pieces.

very very cute and fun, and i love all of the art pieces- i'd buy some of these puzzles if they actually existed! the story mode is very cute and i love the mailwoman dearly, and the marathon mode was a very fun bonus; i enjoyed opening literally all the boxes at once and spending far too long while listening to podcasts untangling the mess of puzzle pieces. my only complaint is i wish there were one or two more …

neutral · AI labelView post →Reccomending: Wilmot Works It Out. The final moment of this game is maybe 2024's most audacious denouement, and I wonder if the entire game was engineered to facilitate it. Otherwise, I had a lovely time with this easy-going lateral sequel. Vote Sam the Postwoman for character of the year.
