The Midnight Mailbox
Letters that answer back
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Under the eaves of a small-town post office hangs an old, weathered mailbox.
By day it takes the letters people cannot bring themselves to send.
At night — it writes back.
"The clock struck twelve. You heard something shift quietly inside the box."
The Midnight Mailbox is an original interactive novel. You are the one who talks to the mailbox after dark.
· Read the letters, write the replies, and meet the people who put their hearts on paper — the lamp-keeper, the girl selling apricot blossoms, the grandmother who never signs her name.
· Every choice quietly shifts the warmth and the direction of the story.
· The Letter Album keeps every letter worth keeping.
· Five seasons, 31 chapters, and one lamp to read by, night after night.
No account. No sign-up. No ads interrupting your reading. Open it like pushing open the door of the post office.
Bilingual edition: the story is complete in English and in Simplified Chinese — all 31 chapters and the entire interface. The app follows your device language.
