Game Explanation:

Select Colour and Press Space to Begin the game.

You and the other characters start the game at random locations around the board.

The top-left corner of the screen indicates the passage of time; each step 1 hour passes, as indicated by the hand of the clock rotating Counter-Clockwise; after 24 hours the day counter in the center of the clock will increase.

When a day passes all characters will take 1 damage from their hunger.

Every 12 hours a mailbox will spawn somewhere on the map.  The mailbox will be displayed in the same colour as your character.  Stepping into the mailbox will collect a random shipment of mail.  Each item is coloured to match the character it should be delivered to.  Press enter or walk toward an available space to close the mailbox window.

At anytime it is possible to check the mail you have in your inventory by pressing Tab.

When you step into a character it will open the delivery window.  Use W and S to select which mail to deliver and press Enter to deliver it.  Each item has the number held indicated on the right.  Each item has an effect on that character and will grant score to the player.

Food: Restores 1 Health

Drinks: Restores 2 Health

Gift: Will cause the character to Relocate when the delivery window is closed

Treasure: For each treasure received the character will leave the game for 12 hours once the delivery window is closed.

The player will also lose health each day.  To stay alive the player must eat the packages.  Open the inventory with Tab and use WASD to select items; use Enter to eat them.

Press Tab or Escape to close Inventory.

Eating Food and Drinks will heal you.

Eating Gifts and Treasures will grant you score.

Items of your own colour may be eaten freely without any risk; since their is no one else to deliver them to.

The player must balance collecting and delivering the mail; as well as attempting to keep themselves and everyone else alive.  If either you or all other 9 characters die the game ends and you will be given a score.

At anytime you can press Escape to open the pause menu in order to restart the level or to return to the main menu to reselect your colour.
