In a surprising twist, indie developer Petter Malmehed has pointed to a lack of email skills among younger players as a potential reason for the declining reviews of his puzzle game, After Hours. Released in 2018, the game initially found its footing but has seen a drop in both user reviews and completion rates in recent years. Malmehed’s observations suggest that many young players are struggling with the game’s unique email-based mechanics, which are crucial for progressing through the story.
