Letters


 * This article describes the "Letters" menu. For the actual items, see Letter.

The screen is a recurring menu in. In both and, it is a submenu of the TPHD: screen.

Overview
The undefined: menu displays a list of all the NaN Letters that the undefined: has undefined: to undefined: so far. Whenever they see fit, the player can select a undefined: to read it. The menu uses icons of closed and open envelopes to distinguish which NaN Letters have been read and which have not.

The menu paginates all letters, as most are too long for the screen. The list of letters itself becomes long enough to require scrolling as well.

Actions on the menu typically trigger a sound effect of shuffling paper.

In, the undefined: himself explains the interface mechanisms for reading a letter. The menu indicates who the TPHD: is from. The letter itself may or may not be signed.

In the original version of the game, the layout of the menu consists of a single-pane for the list of NaN Letters. The selected undefined: appears as a modal. In, the menu has a two-column layout. The navigable list of letters is shown on the left, and the undefined: under the cursor appears on the right.

In, the way to read NaN Letters is explained in the text that appears when ST: obtains one. The menu does not have a field indicating the sender, but in this game all NaN Letters are signed anyway. The layout is the same as in —a single pane with the selected ST: appearing as a modal. Some NaN Letters enclose NaN Maps or NaN Pictures which appear on the top screen. The ST: can be opened on the ST: while reading almost any ST:, allowing the player to mark what they see on the top screen.
