This new adventure, as cute as it is disturbing, arrives on October 29, just in time for Halloween, on Steam (PC/Mac) and Nintendo Switch
Paris, October 13, 2026 – Cultural media company ARTE France and independent studio Oopsie Daisies are pleased to announce the release date of Tom the Postgirl.
Co-produced by ARTE France and Oopsie Daisies, Tom the Postgirl will be available on October 29, 2026, on PC and Mac via Steam, as well as Nintendo Switch.
THE STORY
Calling all fans of creepy cute narrative games! This absurd adventure follows mischievous Tom on her delivery rounds that always go wrong. Unsurprisingly, Tom takes every opportunity to spy inside houses whenever she gets the chance.
Players accompany Tom through a charming village where every resident has something to hide. You deliver their packages, but what do they do with them behind closed doors? Every window, door, and crack in the wall is a chance to learn more about the inhabitants and their dirty little secrets: a narcissistic mayor, an orphanage that looks dangerously like a dog kennel, a couple of chainsaw-wielding hippies… human nature in all its horrible beauty awaits you!
KEY FEATURES:
Walk and stalk!
Frame-by-frame animation gives a retro feel to this universe and immerses the player in a strange village where the slightest detail can turn into a suspicious event. With unique hand-drawn backgrounds and numerous hiding places from which to spy on residents, players take their time, observe carefully, and witness a series of fascinating, unsettling scenes.
A guilty pleasure
From drug-dealing pigeons in the cemetery to wandering cowboy earthworms and grumpy squirrels: humans aren’t the only ones worth watching. Whether you focus on the job or disturb the peace, is your choice. Will you resist the urge to trample on perfectly trimmed hedges, crush flowerbeds, or steal garden gnomes? All gameplay is as transgressive as it is unapologetic: spy, sabotage and cause chaos, all without losing your innocent smile as a model postgirl.
Between Adult Swim and a children’s book
Tom the Postgirl blends the naive aesthetic of illustrated books with the raw, nonsensical strangeness of an Adult Swim cartoon. Somewhere between the destructive absurdity of Thank Goodness You’re Here! and the dark humor of Dumb Ways to Die, delivering mail has never been so irresponsible.
The joy of rediscovery
With each new playthrough, players discover new details they might have missed and opt for a playstyle that’s more or less mischievous to uncover every last one of the villagers’ secrets. Multiple available endings encourage replayability, while achievements and unlockable profiles reward the most curious players.
