Carlivery: A Letter to No One
An emotional paper-road puzzle game about delivering letters to loved ones you never met
A Journey Born from Quiet Moments
Carlivery isn't just a game, it's an interactive letter from my childhood self. This Unreal Engine 5 project transforms the simple act of letter delivery into a meditation on connection, memory and the spaces between us.
The Experience
Step onto a giant wooden table where a child's imagination comes alive. You'll navigate hand-drawn roads in a little paper car, delivering heartfelt letters to mailboxes across a landscape crafted from cardboard and crayon. But these aren't ordinary deliveries, they're messages to grandparents never met, to family existing only in imagination, to the empty spaces we all try to fill.
What Makes Carlivery Special
- Emotional Puzzle Design - Relaxing driving mechanics that prioritize reflection over challenge
- Handcrafted Aesthetic - Visuals inspired by childhood drawings and paper crafts
- Personal Narrative - 20 levels that unfold like pages in a diary
- Completely Free - A genuine gift to the gaming community
"I made this game when the quiet felt heavier than noise. No grandparents to visit. No aunts. No uncles. Just empty spaces where family should be. So I started drawing roads and mailboxes, pretending I was sending letters to someone who might read them someday. Thanks for playing with me. - the kid behind the car"
