Kind Words
Kind Words is a game about writing nice letters to real people. Write and receive encouraging letters in a cozy room. Trade stickers and listen to chill music. We’re all in this together. Sometimes all you need are a few kind words.
Write nice letters to people and get stickers
Has something got you down? Stressed you out? Scared you? That’s pretty normal. It might help you to talk about it. In Kind Words, players anonymously write out their concerns and sorrows by making short requests for letters.
Receive comforting letters
Everyone can respond to requests with letters of comfort, sympathy or gentle advice. Kind Words is a positive context; a warm, cozy mood. A place to feel centered and focused on the opportunity presented – use your words to lift others and be lifted in return.
Oh, and there’s stickers!
You start the game with a couple random stickers in your inventory. Stickers can be placed on letters written to others or sent as an appreciative response to a letter that has been received. Once you get a new sticker, you can make copies of that sticker to send them out to other players. Each sticker also comes with a 3D toy that you can put on display in your room. Swap letters to build up your collection of stickers and room decorations!
