What is Forest Postman?
Forest Postman is a top down exploration story game where you play Bori, a young raccoon postman, delivering 14 letters and parcels to nine animal villagers. There is no fighting and no timer. You walk around, chat with neighbors and solve a few small mysteries.
The map is a tile based village in the spirit of classic role playing games. You start at the post office and follow paths to the riverside, the lakeshore, Mushroom Hill and an old lighthouse on the north shore. Taking your time, one full playthrough lasts about 15 minutes.
How do deliveries work?
| Task | How |
|---|---|
| Get the bag | Talk to Postmaster Hoot outside the post office to receive a bag with eight letters. |
| Deliver | Talk to the right villager and the mail is handed over. Anyone you have mail for shows an envelope bubble. |
| Parcels | Villagers often ask you to carry something on to a friend, like a honey bun, sheet music or a cookbook. |
| Mystery mail | Someone moved away, and some envelopes only carry a nickname or a description. Ask around to find out who they are for. |
| Blocked paths | A broken bridge and a wall of brambles open up once you help the villagers. |
Your notebook lists every piece of mail you still carry, and its little map marks each destination with a pink dot.
What should I do if I get stuck?
- Open the notebook first. When a villager gives you a clue, the name and location of the recipient update there.
- The three planks are scattered around the woods. Check the end of the west woods path, behind the post office and the west shore of the lake. Tap a sparkling plank to pick it up.
- Ask about strange addresses. If you do not know who a letter is for, nearby villagers usually have a hint.
- Follow the bubbles. An envelope means you have mail for that villager, and an exclamation mark means they have something to tell you.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. On a phone, use the on screen direction pad and the A button to walk and talk. You can also tap any spot or villager and Bori walks there on his own, then starts talking when he arrives. It works in portrait too.
