Well, this is a lovely surprise, isn’t it? Chill letter writing gameKind Wordswas a lofi hit back in 2019, encouraging players to share over 5 million anonymous notes of support and, well, kindness since launch. Now developers Popcannibal are back with a full-blown sequel,Kind Words 2 (Lofi City Pop). You’re probably thinking, ‘How could they possibly have made a sequel to this perfectly formed note ‘em up? Have they added emails? Carrier pigeons? Inscribing on stone tablets?’ Well, as the reveal trailer below shows, it’s gone for more of anAnimal Crossing-style city to enjoy, letting you connect with fellow players and express your deepest feelings in new, more directed settings. That’s right, it’s time to get out of your bedroom and touch some virtual grass.

There’s also a chill and beautifully kept city square where you can converse with other players in real-time. Popcannibal are promising “real people, no bots” in these spaces, and I’ll be intrigued to see how it handles these larger spaces as we get closer to release. It doesn’t look like it’s going for the full-blown social MMO experience like thatgamecompany’sSky: Children Of The Light, for example, but I would also hope it feels a bit more ‘real’ and lively than, say, Animal Crossing does.
“We made Kind Words 2 because there aren’t enough online spaces where strangers can be fearlessly open and caring without worrying about likes, subscribes, followers, and any other garbage that gets in between people just talking to each other,” Popcannibal founder Ziba Scott said in a statement, which, yeah, I can get behind that.
