J'ai beaucoup aimé, le genre de petit jeux d'horreur indépendant que j'adore.. Vraiment hâte de pouvoir jouer au jeu en entier ! //I really liked it, the kind of Little Indie game i like. Cant wait to Play the full game !
I played your game for my 3 scary games video series. Your game was the 3rd one. I played the demo version that was on steam and it was so interesting. It felt like I was in one of those movies! Great game!
While very short, the game lacks a lot of polish, but it does well in other areas. For example - the visuals are actually really good for what it's going for - the Playstation 1 themed graphics go really well with a horror aesthetic, as well as the low triangle/low poly assets. The audio is also passable and is not incredibly unpleasant to listen to. Where the game lacks is within the actual horror itself, it lacks at giving you suspense or feeling creeped out. If the developer is a fairly new one, then they're doing well, but as always, lots of things to be improved! 7/10!
"A Riveting & Effective Formula Followed to the LETTER~"
PROS; + Extremely short but did its job well- much like a certain unhappy worker. + So far, no cheap jumpscares... good, and hope it stays as such! + Met all of my expectations, even surprising me! Particularly where the plot's next directions are pointing towards. + The "shi**ier" look of the convenience store was a welcome change of scenery. There's something very minimalist about it and it added to the overall isolation.
CONS; - The reactions were a bit mistimed and underwhelming. - Some unclear & unfriendly setting options.
BUGS: x None that I could spot. x That said, maybe some optimization needed? I've played my fair share of low-poly horror titles; this one was spotty in some parts despite the small area to explore.
NITPICKS ~ There should be more observations and remarks by the protagonists so that we can infer his personality better. - "E" should also advance dialogue.
CONCLUSION
"Here's a letter that I don't need to read until the end to know its contents will be compelling & good! But I will anyway, and am especially looking forward to what else it has in store for it~"
Not a bad opening to a series - I'll probably end up checking out all of them when all parts are finished! I expected the opening to be a little longer, but I think it does a good job of setting up the next part of the game.
this game looks fun asl but im having a problem where as soon as i drop in the game my camera just keeps spinning and yes i checked my mouse and i deleted and redownloaded it
Cons: - The brief camera movement stop when interacting with stuff is kinda annoying.
- Also the fact that you interact with E but continue the dialogue with LMB, I personally like it more when they are both on the same key. Maybe add an option to toggle this in the full release.
The Part where he appeared next to the desk made me jump a little haha . Don't know if its because I don't play a lot of horror games but it was well placed
Overall I enjoyed playing the game and would give this a 8.5 /10
Oh and you might wanna check this toggle in the game's project settings as it allows people to install and play the game in the itch io launcher without needing to download, unpack and click the zip
That's some great feedback, really appreciate that :) It'll help me in making the full game. I'm going to put more work in it, and add animations and such instead of just freezing the camera on pickups.
Thanks for telling me about the windows button. Is that all I have to do, or do I have to select the executable or something?
Really good intro for more story! A bit cliché, but I'm curious about the next 2 parts =) Hopes it comes out soon. Also, your next project also looks quite interesting!
Really digging the storyline of this game, and was quite a refreshing take on the 'working at a convenience store at night' trope. Yes, there is rubbish to take out. Yes, there is raspberry jam (possibly, maybe blood) to clean up from the floor, but the eponymous envelope in question takes this in a whole new direction. Genuinely intrigued for parts 2 and 3...
Pros:
Great aesthetic - enjoyed the dialogue between customers and 'mumblin' Joe (that's my nickname for him, at any rate)
Refreshing take on a trope/genre within Indie Horror gaming that's staler than the hot dogs on display
Subverted expectations
Cons:
Not many horror elements within the gameplay. Suggests potential for cult-like activity, but maybe we'll see more of this in the next game...
You gotta take out trash. And clean floors. Would have liked to have seen a different take on these actions.
Pretty short experience
The critiques are a little nit-picky, as I overall enjoyed the main aspects of this game. Can't wait for Part 2!
Hey, thank for you playing the game! I really liked your video, you're very entertaining to listen to. I appreciate the feedback as it will help me improve the game.
You are right that this game will have a different take on the horror genre compared to other similar games. Part 2 will not be as linear as the one you played, and could be concidered open world (although not the biggest world).
Will be great seeing you play through the full game in the future :)
I always try to give constructive criticism for that reason - so I hope it helps. I'm really intrigued by the concept of the next parts, especially if it has a broader scope in terms of the world building! Definitely will be looking into part two when it's released! Just make sure there's more hot-dogs involved!
Hey Eirix! This story already has me hooked, I can't wait for the next one! You did such a great job with story telling in such a short game. I will definitely be playing the other parts! Following now. Thank you! And great job!

I have played another game of yours called Hex Bots. I like the theme of your games and I am hyped for when the full version gets released. 🔥🔥
Me gusto mucho, espero al juego completo.
Nice Game!!
I really liked the game. I was scared and had a lot of fun!!
I would like to ask, if possible, include subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese. There are many Brazilian fans who like to play and watch!
I hope it continues!
Thank you for playing! I've been thinking about adding translations for the full game that will be on Steam.
just okay
I got way too invested in this story!! Great job and I can't wait to see the continuation of this game :) Thanks for the great experience!
I play your game at 22:23 in this video!
Got me hooked into the story! I gotta find out what happens in the next part! Great job!

Oh wow, glad you liked it friend! Appreciate the in-depth feedback, with a good list of what's good and what isn't.
Thank you for playing, and please give it another go when it's done. I think you might like what's coming next :)
*clicks tongue*
You are welcome, and you betcha!
This game was really fun and interesting! I really do want to see the full game now. It is the first game I play.
Not a bad opening to a series - I'll probably end up checking out all of them when all parts are finished! I expected the opening to be a little longer, but I think it does a good job of setting up the next part of the game.
this game looks fun asl but im having a problem where as soon as i drop in the game my camera just keeps spinning and yes i checked my mouse and i deleted and redownloaded it
Not sure why this happens. Do you have a controller plugged in maybe?
Creepy game. Keep up the great work!
This Game Was Very Fun and I am Looking Forward to seeing what happens next in the story
The Envelope - Chapter 1
this left me wanting so much more and i can’t wait for all the rest of the games to come along and drop.I didn't expect the game to be so good ngl. The atmosphere was really unsettling and had me on edge. I can't wait for the second part of the game.
Here's my gameplay of it. It start at 06:14
Will wait patiently for part 2 lol
UMMM, Yeah its been a while
Cons:
- The brief camera movement stop when interacting with stuff is kinda annoying.

Thats all you gotta do. It works now
