#kind words 2

[invisiblefoxfire]

Anyone remember that cozy little indie game Kind Words? You write letters to other real people, ask for advice on your problems, give others advice and support on their problems, and collect stickers. It became massively popular for a while, and deservedly so. It was a rare example of a place where the players were genuinely positive and kind. I never saw a single bit of toxicity there.

Well, there's a sequel! Kind Words 2 has everything from the original game PLUS they've added lots of stuff players talked about wanting, but that wouldn't have fit in the original. You can go outside now and have short, anonymous conversations with real people. There's a spot just for requesting and giving media recommendations. There's a cafe to perform and listen to poetry. In the forest, you can make chains of thoughts on a topic. There's plenty more, but the point is, it's wonderful. I just got it on sale and it's been really lovely. I've been super stressed lately and feeling isolated, and just spending an hour or so writing kind letters to people helps a lot.

The only problem is, this sequel hasn't blown up the way the original did. Not many people are actually playing it, despite the universally positive reviews. I don't know why this is, but a game like this needs players to be successful and fun - and the devs need to sell enough copies to be able to keep making lovely games like this.

So if you're looking for something cozy and kind and positive for yourself, or as a gift for someone, you should grab Kind Words 2 on Steam. It's on sale right now. This post is not sponsored, I did not get a free copy, it's just really nice and I want it to succeed.

And if you don't want it or can't afford anything new right now, maybe give this a reblog? I don't have that many followers and I really want this game to find its audience the way the first one did. 💖

Kind Words 2

[deanwax]

If you want to unwind at the end of the night writing sincere anonymous letters to real people about their problems, this is the game for you. It's charming - in one day I've comforted someone about the death of a grandparent, given advice to a trans person and also gotten recommendations for recipes with chick peas.

The response was overwhelming - over 5 million letters were shared! The impact was so big that it won a BAFTA award and received an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam. The sequel, Kind Words 2, is taking everything that worked in the first installment and giving it an extra shine. It's keeping the familiar elements like letters, stickers, and customizable rooms.

my final from last semester that i made into a zine. cooked this one up in a couple hours before the critique (the ink was still wet!), so it's very raw and kind of sloppy but the sentiment is there. i love you trans people of color. we are the backbone of this community 🌟

vulnerability and reassurance

[ID: Sketches of Robin and Franky from One Piece, post time skip. Franky and Robin sit on the floor and Robin rests her cheek on his chest while he tries to lightly pull her close. He says: "I uh. Sorry. I'm not good for cuddlin' Unless you like cozying up next to a refrigerator. Are you really comfortable like that?" Robin looks up at him and responds: "It's okay, Franky. I'm perfectly comfortable. I feel... safe here like this with you." /END ID]
