“Your letter has interested me strangely. Please write to me again.”

To be honest, Dear Devere is too good to be a free-to-play novel. This is a romance mystery story, it's set in Scotland and told through a letter correspondence. And there is even voice acting (for the main characters)!

The plot begins when Angela Bard just wants to vent and writes a letter to nowhere. But suddenly someone replies to her — someone mysterious called Devere. Apparently he lives in a forest and it seems he has magic powers... wait, what? You follow their relationship, and my god, lots of things happen, I don't want to spoil anything. Even though the heroes meet some trouble along the way, the story is very wholesome.

There are no sprites of the characters, but it's definitely not a bad thing, and it actually suits the story in the best way possible. The novel is still visually pleasing — I've loved the designs of the letters Angela and Devere sent to each other.

I'll be definitely rereading this in the future! Sometimes you just need a short story with a sweet aftertaste, and Dear Devere is a perfect example of this kind.
