    Sort Letters, Face Fiends — The Mailroom: Hell’s Cosiest Job Is Out Now on Steam

    Ever stared at your inbox and thought, “This is literally Hell”? Well, Crowfriend and publisher Vendetta have made it official — and somehow, it’s weirdly comforting. Their cozy?horror?job simulator The Mailroom is live right now on PC via Steam, with a free demo ready to try before you clock in.


    Welcome to the Office from Below

    You don’t know how you got there. You don’t know why you’re still there. But you do know one thing: punch the clock, sort the mail, don’t get fired.

    Your new workplace? A little regional branch of Hell tucked away in Modesto, California. It looks like a tired basement office — flickering lights, creaky floors, pneumatic tubes running everywhere — but the envelopes carry infernal addresses, the supervisors are never seen, and every shift gets a little stranger than the last.

    What You Actually Do

    • Sort mail — Inspect every letter, spot clues, and send it to exactly the right floor. One slip and someone upstairs will notice
    • Handle unusual specimens — Dissect amphibians for materials… or just pet them. No judgment here
    • Keep the machines breathing — Maintain blood?powered boilers and occult equipment. Let them fail and it’s not just a performance review you’ll fear
    • Uncover the truth — Why are you here? What lies beneath the sorting room? Search the office, piece together clues, and find a way out — or accept that this is your life forever

    The “Cosy” in Cozy?Horror

    It’s terrifying, yes — but at your own pace. No twitch?reflex jumps, no running for your life. Just you, your desk, a looming sense of dread, and a warm cup of something that definitely isn’t coffee. The days unfold slowly, new mechanics arrive gently, and the mystery deepens one shift at a time.

    The Boss Says…

    “Hell’s dead?end job isn’t about fire and brimstone — it’s about overtime, ambiguous instructions, and wondering if anyone will notice you took an extra five minutes on break. That’s the real horror.”

  • Shelves, Secrets & Spirits — Something is Wrong with the Library Unveiled!

    Shelves, Secrets & Spirits — Something is Wrong with the Library Unveiled!

    Books are falling off the shelves for a reason. Acclaimed indie studio Strange Scaffold — the creative force behind I Am Your Beast, CLICKOLDING, El Paso, Elsewhere, Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator, and Truck-kun Is Supporting Me From Another World?! — has today announced its next haunting creation: Something is Wrong with the Library, a spooky narrative organising simulator arriving on PC via Steam this fall (Q4 2026).

    Quiet on the Shelves — Something Stirs

    You’re spending the night at the Alex Dieter Public Library and Center for Reflection in Sweet Elm, a mountain town transformed by billionaire benefactor Alex Dieter. He gifted fibre internet, landscaped parks, and promised a bright future. But he also did something unspeakable — and now the library won’t rest.

    Books hurl themselves from shelves. Shadows linger where they shouldn’t. And the walls? They hold secrets that won’t stay buried. With the help of former administrator Phillip Shed, you’ll clean, sort, and shelve your way through one long, terrifying night — uncovering the truth behind the hauntings and the complicity that let them happen.

    Sort by Day, Spooked by Night

    This isn’t your typical horror — it’s cosy dread, Strange Scaffold style:

    • Thousands of real book titles — shelve actual works using the Dewey Decimal System, by author, title, and classification
    • Modular Chaos System — every playthrough gives you a different pile of fallen books; no two nights are the same
    • Fully-voiced narrative — unravel a story of small-town complicity, supernatural manifestations, and accountability
    • Eerie, shifting presences — unlock the library’s full spectrum of haunting phenomena
    • The Drowning Room — some sections defy explanation… and physics
    • Accessible specs — runs smoothly on modest machines; Windows 10+, 4GB RAM, 3GB storage

    About the Makers

    Strange Scaffold has built a reputation for bold, genre-blending games that mix heart, humour, and darkness. Partnering with publisher Frosty Pop, they’re turning a simple premise — put books away — into something deeply unsettling and uniquely compelling.

    Ready to Check In?

    Something is Wrong with the Library arrives Q4 2026 on Steam. Add it to your wishlist now — and remember: when a book falls off the shelf all by itself… don’t just pick it up. Ask why.
