The new indie delivery simulation with 90s-style graphics combines relaxed driving and humor with intriguing mysteries.
Easy Delivery Co. is an upcoming video game that skillfully combines relaxed, humorous gameplay with a subtle mysterious atmosphere, all wrapped in a nostalgic visual style inspired by the era of the original PlayStation. This passionate project is led by Canadian indie creator Sam C., with Oro Interactive acting as the publisher.
The promotional illustration of Easy Delivery Co. captures its retro look and idyllic mountain landscape. The game places the player in the role of a delivery person – specifically a cat – employed by a transport company in a once-vibrant mountain town buried under a perpetual snowstorm. The task is to get behind the wheel of a small truck (kei truck) and deliver packages to the local residents, soaking in the atmosphere and getting to know their somewhat unusual stories. The narrative unfolds gradually through deliveries, although the creators jokingly assure players that the town is "perfectly normal" and that there is "nothing strange, no lore, absolutely nothing, we promise."
The gameplay is notably laid-back: vehicle control is simple and intuitive, and driving along winding, snowy roads can be meditative – but slippery terrains can easily turn a delivery into a chaotic chase. Players will also need to keep an eye on fuel, which is intentionally overpriced in the game world. During delivery runs, you are accompanied by a fitting musical backdrop – "cool" rhythms echo from the radio, highlighted by an energetic drum & bass soundtrack.
A lot of charm comes from the distinctive audiovisual style. Easy Delivery Co. deliberately uses simplified low-resolution 3D models and pixelated textures to evoke the look of the late 90s – the game truly resembles a title from the original PlayStation. This retro approach further emphasizes the atmosphere: as you race through the snowstorm at night, illuminated only by the yellow beams of the truck's lights, the scene appears idyllic and somewhat eerie.
Although it presents itself as a completely relaxed "casual" game, Easy Delivery Co. hides a surprisingly creepy side. Players have already noticed in the demo version that something is not quite right with the town – from the unusually gloomy weather anomalies to the strange statements of local NPCs – so many are wondering whether the final version will include elements of horror or the supernatural. However, even without explicit horror, the creators balance a pleasant, almost "cozy" atmosphere with light humor and barely noticeable tension, creating a vibe that is both sweet and somewhat unsettling. Such a unique combination could attract a diverse audience – from nostalgic players who grew up with PS1 classics to a new generation drawn to unconventional indie titles with a more relaxed pace. Given that interest in retro-stylized projects from small teams has been rising again in recent years, Easy Delivery Co. has the opportunity to find its way to a wider circle of video game enthusiasts.
A free demo version of Easy Delivery Co. is currently available, and the full version is expected to be released by the end of 2025.
