About
Postmen of Horizon is an interactive visual novel about the near future where you will be asked to live a few days as different characters.
Seemingly it`s not too distant future, but so much has changed… Only people stayed the same.
Seraphim — (the main character) works in a modest firm. It sends people`s letters to their dead relatives. Some do it beacause they feel guilty, some just miss their relatives, and others send letters to say what they`ve been meaning to for a long time. The messages are delivered by messengers of the horizon — suiciders who have nothing left to do but die. Some do it in exchange for a fancy funeral, others to give their family a happy life. Nothing foretold upcoming changes in Seraphim`s life but something inside him clicked. His outlook on life changed and he saw it in a new light…

It's a ren'py...
for those who do not know, renpy is a Jap software designed to create novel visuals, it's not bad like stuff but it's still really very simple anyway, it is possible to add to renpy animations but not to create them from ren'py.
so this is a Visual novel all that is more banal and simple, the graphics "designs" are very well done and the story looks pretty good, I could not say more because I would not read it, but I'm sure this game may please fans of Visual novel
the soundtrack is very simpa, gives the accent on the atmosphere of the game and it's not bad at all, really I think those who like the Visual novel will spend a very good momment on this story attention: languages only English and Russian

Postmen of Horizon is a Visual Novel that has a short Playing Time and poor translation from the Russian into English, but has an incredible Amount of potential.
Briefly on the Plot We accompany an Excerpt from the Life of Seraphim, our Protagonist, who leads a rather tricest Existence and, in addition to private Problems, also hangers with his Job. Seraphim works for a Shipping Company that sends Messages to already Deceased people. This is done with so-called "Messengers of the Horizon," People who have deliberately decided to choose Suicide and take a Message into the Afterlife for a Sum X.
The Reasons for sending such a Message to a Deceased are as different and varied as the Reasons the Messengers take their Lives, and employ our Protagonist more than usual on this Working Day.
With each new Customer, Seraphim reconsiders his own Life and considers whether or how he should change it. After all, isn't everything just as it is? Would an Escape allow for a new Life? Perhaps, however, only a Transfer within the Company will help ...
Verdict Unfortunately, due to the short Playing Time, there are only a few Decisions to make and you can't really see how much Weight a Decision has. Nevertheless, there are 4 different ends to be reached, which are very different from each other. I particularly liked the Fact that you can read the Customers ' messages and that more Contact or maybe another Working Day would certainly have done the Game good, despite the poor Translation.
The Graphics are not perfect but this unpolished drawing Style and the whole Colour scheme of the Game simply have Charm and fit well with the willed somewhat dreary Atmosphere. The Background Music and Sound Effects are also kept simple, but round off the whole Sci-fito dystopia ambience. It's just a shame that there are no Achievements or Steam Cards.
I recommend Postmen of Horizon to anyone who has a little Imagination and Interest in Actions in the Dystopia genre and/or who are powerful in Russian.
