How to Handle Night Packages

During daytime sorting, set aside parcels that seem unusual — strange return addresses, odd weights, or customer dialogue hints. Store these in a dedicated night mail zone. When evening arrives and moonlight activates, return to this zone first. Packages reveal hidden symbols and glowing markings that were invisible during the day.

The Moonlight Insight upgrade from our Progression guide makes these markings consistently visible, eliminating guesswork. Invest in it as your third priority upgrade for the best night experience.

Night packages follow the same stamp mode workflow with additional markings guiding special routing. Some require unique stamps or handling sequences not used during daytime. Process them carefully — night mail often pays significantly better and contains narrative clues about the missing postmaster.

Do not skip nights. Productive evening shifts clear the mysterious backlog faster and advance the story. In co-op, assign a dedicated night investigator while others prepare the next day's shipments. Combine night processing with map exploration as some areas reveal themselves only under moonlight.
