Delivering a love letter to your crush takes an unexpected turn\u00a0"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Korean solo indie developer velupix has released the 2D pixel-art narrative game <strong>1DaYs<\/strong> for Windows (<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/4718050\/1daYs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steam<\/a>). The game puts you in the shoes of Minsu, a boy who sets out to deliver a love letter. This simple task gets more complicated as he becomes sidetracked by people and side quests that require his attention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Steam page, 1daYs is about \u201csmall incidents and mysteries hidden within everyday life.\u201d The story takes place in late-90s to early-2000s South Korea over a single day, with Minsu\u2019s letter leading to unexpected encounters and events.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1466\" height=\"824\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1466px) 100vw, 1466px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/20261106-74887-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74895\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/20261106-74887-001.jpg 1466w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/20261106-74887-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/20261106-74887-001-767x431.jpg 767w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1465\" height=\"820\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1465px) 100vw, 1465px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/20261106-74887-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/20261106-74887-002.jpg 1465w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/20261106-74887-002-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/20261106-74887-002-766x429.jpg 766w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you explore Minsu\u2019s home, neighborhood, and school, you can talk to people and assist them. Notes and clues scattered about the map reveal more about the world, providing you with an incentive to collect them. The relationships and stories you foster evolve throughout the day, shedding light on things that may not seem connected at first glance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1daYs also has its fair share of activities that distract you from your ultimate love goal. Sneaking out of class to explore, for instance, requires you to complete a minigame. The local arcade is also filled with several games that you can spend your time playing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"1daYs | Official Release Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aGZuU2CqlNg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1DaYs is out now on Windows (<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/4718050\/1daYs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steam<\/a>).
