The following article is a translated version of the original Korean article based on an interview. The original Korean acticle can be found here. Wishlist 'Letters of Bernard Thorne'! In the past, I came across a streamer playing a horror game called ‘Love, Sam.’ It was a narrative-driven game about uncovering the truth based on the contents written in a diary, and its unique atmosphere and twists made the game intriguing. Another notable aspect was the developer’s name: ‘Korean Linguistics Lab (KLL)’. Recently, the news of KLL developing a new game came through Steam and Tumblbug. Its title is ‘Letters of Bernard Thorne’, a text/story-driven horror game similar to its predecessor.

A Word From the Dev It has been 3 years since Love, Sam launched as my small passion project.

Hi, everyone! Added controller support! However, it is not in a perfect state, and since Love, Sam is designed to be played with keyboard and mouse, it is still recommended to use a game pad only when you have no other choice. Below is a quick button guide. -'Bottom Face Button' or 'Right Trigger' = 'Mouse Left Click' (Interact, Pick Up, etc) -'Right Face Button' or 'Left Trigger' =Mouse Right Click' (Get Up From Chair, Put Down Item, etc) Also, I am currently working on several issues regarding puzzle difficulty, and need your help. Love, Sam is a story driven game, so it is important to maintain a certain flow during gameplay. If you've experienced anything during the puzzle sections that hinders this experience, please describe them freely by commenting on this announcement or using the Steam Community Hub. Thank you.
