Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, GeForce GTX 630 / Radeon HD 6570, 4 GB of storage. Windows only.

KeyWe is a cute, co-operative postal puzzler starring Jeff and Debra, two small kiwi birds working in a whimsical post office. They must jump, flap, peck and butt-slam their way across an interactive landscape of levers, bells and buttons to get those messages delivered on time!

The value story

August 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $3.74. It has been discounted 40 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 66 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 5 percent on value. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Pikuniku ($12.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats Overcooked! All You Can Eat ($39.99, scores 27).

Critics scored it 73. Players sit 17 points higher at 90 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

11 of the 460 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 365 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 21 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 6 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 17, 2.8 times as much.

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

The online multiplayer is kind of tacked on, like only one person can use a controller, which is kind of insane Other than that, it is definitely one of the games of all time

Can't think of a single time when I played this and wasn't pissed tf off at my dear dear friend Highly recommend

Если просто поиграть в игру со своей второй половинкой, то сойдёт. Но если вы захотите пройти игру на все достижения - доставайте смазку, вазелин, и нескольлко бутылок чего-нибудь крепкого. Убогое управление, которое нельзя никак поменять под себя, инверсированное управление при стрельбе (нужно в некоторых уровнях и в DLC), куча слепых зон, плохой баланс уровней, кривые текстуры, застревания в воздухе и самое...
