What To Expect From The Letter
The story is told in chapters, and each puts you in control of a different member of the cast, starting with real estate agent Isabella. Choices affect relationships, who survives and which ending you see, while timed quick time events decide whether characters escape danger. Relationship values track how the cast feels about each other, so small decisions early on can matter a lot later.
