SpaceMail is a game about working as a space package delivery person who is thrust into the midst of an interplanetary political rebellion. The game takes place in the Proioxis Galaxy, humanity’s first and largest space colony, which is ruled over by the oppressive regime known as the Command. The game opens shortly after the collapse of the Resistance, a rebellion movement that attempted to overthrow the Command but failed. The main character, a former rebel, is punished for their role in the Resistance by being relegated to a menial package delivery job in order to pay the bail for their imprisoned family members.
SpaceMail follows the player’s first three days on the job, across which they deliver packages between the five planets of the Proioxis Galaxy. The game follows a scripted sequence of packages—at first, the packages are fairly innocuous, but as the game progresses, the packages begin to reveal a deep secret: a second Resistance movement brewing, and the player has the power to stifle or empower the nascent rebellion by which packages they decide to deliver or incinerate.
