Letters to Sandra RPG

A Solo Game of Secrets, Memory, and the Stories We Choose to Tell

Sandra Blank has left Centerville for her first semester of college - and she’s writing to you. In Letters to Sandra, you take on the role of one of six people close to her, corresponding through a series of deeply personal letters. As Sandra shares her new life, you’ll decide what pieces of your own story to reveal… and what to carefully leave unsaid.

This powerful solo experience blends letter excerpts, randomised news prompts, and a striking physical mechanic that asks you to literally cut the page. Will you protect Sandra’s privacy - or betray it? With every roll of the die and every snip of the scissors, you shape a story about honesty, longing, and the complicated ways we curate the truth.

Praise for Letters to Sandra

"It’s unnerving how quickly this game got under my skin. The premise is simple, but the emotional heft is devastating. Though there are many ways to play, every single one will force you to examine the ways we all edit, embellish, or obfuscate the painful truth to maintain comforting stories about ourselves and those we’re close to. It’s rare for a game to dredge up such a tangled nest of human impulse; rarer still to do it so deftly, and with minimal pretension. I will be thinking about Letters To Sandra for awhile."
- Ken Lowery, Bannerless Games (VOID 1680 AM, Lighthouse at the End of the World)

“An emotional gut-punch every step of the way, Letters to Sandra plays with nostalgia, longing, and the listlessness of being stuck in a nowhere town. A solo game that knows how to mess with the medium by teasing and tempting the player.”
- Nevyn “Nova” Holmes, Dinoberry Press (Justicar, Gun&Slinger)
