Companions

Same city.
Different narrator.

Companions aren't skins. Each has its own temper, catchphrases and way of reading a street — which decides what kind of letter you wake up to. Pick one and you've picked a tone for the whole trip.

Mita riding on the back of Eddie's scooter
Meerkat
Eddie
Budget critic, zero filter

Loves a bargain and loves tearing apart a bad one even more. Sends you a daily “avoid this” list. Only real risk: eventually getting banned from the entire street.

“Three hours in line for this? People will pay for anything with a queue.”
BluntFrugalPainfully honest
Hobby
Judging shops from the moral high ground of value
Dream
Write the definitive guide to not getting ripped off
Flaw
So blunt that shops keep a photo of him behind the counter
Squirrel
Mita
Indie director, chronic procrastinator

Runs a dozen films in her head at once. A conversation, a glance, a stranger's coat — any of it can become a plot twist. Nothing has finished shooting. Everything is in pre-production.

“It's not procrastination. It's atmospheric pre-production. There's a difference.”
CinematicDramaticNever shoots
Hobby
Taking frame-by-frame notes on films nobody else remembers
Dream
Direct one film people quote for decades
Flaw
Has rewritten the opening shot for eleven months
Chimpanzee
Udis
Poet, built like a truck

Enormous, gentle, and completely in love with literature. Writes with total sincerity and a shaky grasp of vocabulary. The result is sometimes unreadable and always moving.

“I wanted to write you a poem, but this pen weighs more than a barbell…”
Soft-heartedPoeticStartled easily
Hobby
Describing small daily things with enormous words
Dream
Write one book that makes strangers cry
Flaw
Can lift a tree trunk; will hide from a bee
Hedgehog
Babu
Music nerd, terrified of audiences

Knows every genre, owns every record, cannot perform in front of a single living creature. Sound is his safe route into the world — as long as nobody is watching.

“When everyone's gone I'll play you something properly. It'll be worth it.”
ShyPerfect pitchCity sounds
Hobby
Recording sounds nobody notices, then playing them back
Dream
Record the sound of a hundred cities
Flaw
Curls into a ball the second anyone watches

Choosing

Don't overthink it. You can switch.

You pick one when you first open the app. It changes nothing about how the product works — only what you read. And you can change your mind later.

For laughs: Eddie

For anyone tired of motivational quotes. He doesn't comfort you, he says the thing you were too polite to say.

For stories: Mita

For people who like atmosphere. She'll turn a walk to the shop into a scene with an opening shot and a twist.

For comfort: Udis

For a rough week. He writes clumsily, but he never writes anything he doesn't mean.

Town residents

Outside the trip, there's a town.

A separate space from travelling, where a few residents live their own lives. Worth a look on days when you're not going anywhere.

Wolf

Kovar

Guardian of the ruins

Foul-mouthed, quick to anger, allergic to rules. The aggression is a shell: underneath it he's quietly collecting favours and space, planning a shelter for everyone who got thrown away.

His secret: he dances. Alone. To disco.

Antelope

Ruby

The town's tarot reader

She reads cards the way a good friend reads a room — the cards are only the opening line. Tarot is set to become one of the town's main things to do.

Kovar keeps an eye on her. He'd never say so.

Hippo

Dora

Longtime resident

One of the town's fixtures. Her storyline opens up as versions roll out; for now you can read her full profile and tags in the app.

Part of the daily texture with Kovar, Mita and Ruby.

Pick one. Start getting letters tomorrow.

Every companion is free to choose — no subscription needed.
