파발 - 느린 편지

Are you tired of fast messengers? Pabal is a slow messenger where letters travel slowly along the relay stations of Joseon, covering actual distances.

■ Letters Run Along the Relay Stations

From Seoul to Busan, a Pabal carrier carrying a letter passes through the relay stations across the country one by one. You can see on the map exactly which station it is currently passing and how much time remains until arrival. Letters bound for Jeju wait for a ship at the port before crossing the sea.

■ Who Sent It?

Incoming letters are initially shrouded in fog. As they get closer, they reveal themselves on the map, and you can only identify the sender upon arrival. If you wish to reveal your name from the start, you can send it as a 'Real Name Pabal'.

■ The Pabal Carrier Is Precious

When you send a letter, the Pabal carrier sets off on its journey. Since the next letter can only be sent after the carrier returns, you are compelled to write each one with great care. Inviting friends increases the number of Pabal carriers.

■ Station Stamp Encyclopedia

The first station a letter passes through is recorded as a stamp in the encyclopedia. Fill in the Yeongnam-daero, Samnam-daero, and Gwandong-daero.

■ 16-bit Pixel Vibes
From departure and arrival scenes to the nationwide map of relay stations, everything is rendered in retro pixel graphics.

■ Lightweight and Safe
You can start immediately with just your device, without a phone number or email, or use a Google or Kakao account. Your location is saved only at the city, county, and district level (or even down to the neighborhood if desired). Coordinates are used only for verification when moving residences and are not stored. When changing devices, you can retrieve your location using the recovery method provided upon sign-up.

Send a letter via Pabal that is as welcome as the wait.
