About Upwards, Rain! The Post Office of Farewells
Upwards, Rain! The Post Office of Farewells follows Rain, a rookie courier, as she breaks protocol to guide the nervous village girl Mila through the massive tree‑bound Mortem Post. Their aim is to locate a letter that holds the last words of someone who seemingly never existed.
The game blends visual‑novel storytelling with puzzle segments that use Rain’s stamp collection. It includes full English voice acting, an original soundtrack, and a glossary that explains the world’s postal lore.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story and Characters
Rain, a flighty little courier, decides to help Mila, a skittish girl who has been waiting three weeks for a letter from a deceased friend. Their journey takes them deep inside the Mortem Post, a tree whose interior houses a humble post office for the dead.
Other couriers appear throughout the adventure: William maintains the tree’s exterior, Elissa works on the ground as a three‑Stamp courier, and Vyn, a five‑Stamp courier, trains new staff. Each character’s described duties give context to the puzzles and dialogue you encounter.
- Listen to each courier’s dialogue for hints about their role.
- Notice how rank titles (e.g., Three‑Stamp) are linked to responsibilities.

Puzzle Mechanics
Puzzles require the player to use Rain’s stamp collection to tie words together in intuitive ways. Situations range from choose‑your‑own‑adventure style branches to stealth‑type sequences, each demanding a word‑linking solution.
No two puzzles are exactly the same, so players must consider each set of words and stamps anew. The mechanics are presented as part of the narrative rather than as separate minigames.
- When stuck, try alternative word pairings with the stamps you have.
- Watch for visual cues that suggest which words can be linked.

Stamp Collection
Rain carries a trusty stamp collection that serves as the primary tool for overcoming obstacles. Stamps are selectable items that can be applied to words in a scene, creating the connections required to progress.
Rain’s trusty stamp collection is the tool for navigating puzzles and tricky situations throughout the adventure.
- Open the in‑game glossary to read about the world of Upwards, Rain!
- Experiment with different stamps when a word pairing doesn’t work.

Audio & Visuals
The title features full English voice acting for characters and narrated game menus, accompanied by an original soundtrack. Short stories are illustrated by various guest artists, adding visual variety to each narrative segment.
Art direction shifts between lofty interior spaces of the tree and grounded areas where couriers like Elissa work, reinforcing the contrast between aerial and terrestrial elements of the post.
- Pay attention to voice cues; they often precede puzzle introductions.
- Observe guest‑artist illustrations for subtle hints about upcoming word connections.
