Given the uniform wretchedness of delivery companies, perhaps it's time to return to the days of carrier pigeons, whose only significant drawback was the risk of them shitting all over your door. Still preferable to Hermes, of course, and a great premise for an indie management game. Playing as a sentient raven operating out of a massive tower in a gorgeous fantasy setting, can you run a successful, bird-based delivery company?
That's not a rhetorical question, by the way: yes, yes you can, as Ravenhaul is pretty chilled-out for a management game. As a very wings-on boss, you spend the game fluttering between various stations in the tower, where you'll select jobs, stock up on food pellets, and carry parcels to your crew, as jobs come in.
