Kind Words 2 (lofi city pop) on Steam
store.steampowered.com
A game about being kind to real people. Send nice letters from your cozy room, go outside and say hi to your neighbors, swap recommendations, dress up for the poetry slam and add your dreams to a sky full of wishes. Join a community of real people with their hearts on their sleeves.

This is a different take that might not fit everyone, but this game is about spreading positivity to others without any pressure. You write and receive supportive letters and make someone else feel a bit better or smile.

Kind Words 2 is now in beta and you can join the playtest for free on Steam. I’ll paste the game description here because I think it says it all:

"Kind Words 2 is a place to be yourself without worrying about fitting in. It’s a social space with no followers, no likes, no subscribing.

These are real people making each other feel seen, heard and less alone."

Maybe one of you wants to give it a shot. Be safe and healthy, especially in the upcoming days.

    Well, this game isn’t out yet, so I can only tell you what’s in the FAQ of the first game. They intend to battle trolls by the design choice that you cannot respond to a certain individual:

    "Why can’t we carry on conversations with people / have penpals?

    This is probably our most requested feature! It makes sense. You’ve had a great interaction with a real human; why stop there? Unfortunately, anonymity and the strict limits of discourse are key ingredients in the delicious cake that is Kind Words for which we have not found a substitute.

    Trolling would be an increased problem. Trolls WANT people to write angry letters back. Kind Words denies them that and they mostly get bored and leave."

    It could still occur though I suppose.
