Cardiff_Insane Letters is an adventure title made for Mac that mixes elements of memoir and invented story. Set across a single month in Cardiff, it offers an intimate, character-driven narrative that encourages players to make meaningful choices as they move through the plot.
Setting and tone
The story takes place in a version of Cardiff that blends authentic locations and personal memory with invented events. The tone is raw and adult, touching on mature topics and darker plot twists while maintaining a reflective, literary feel.

Players progress by interacting with characters and selecting responses that shape the course of relationships and discoveries. Encounters are designed to test judgment and perception, producing different emotional outcomes depending on the decisions made. The structure supports a personal, immersive reading-and-play experience rather than fast-paced action.
