Mystic Messenger

I've been reading through some of the reviews and found that a lot of people had issues with the 3am chat rooms. Here's a secret: you don't need 100% everyday to get a route. 75% is enough to suffice (about three chat rooms being missed). So the chat rooms you miss at the early hours in the morning (about two/three chat rooms usually) are fine. The game is time dependent but unless you don't have notifs on, missing chat rooms during the day shouldn't be a big deal as they come usually once an hour or once every two hours. However, if you're actively social/have a job/are in school, I wouldn't recommend this. I only play MM during vacation breaks or summer vacation to get the most out of it, which doesn't seem like a lot, but each gameplay is a little over a week and there's only 7 characters so I find time. I find Cheritz extremely generous, and although Another Story is expensive, but if you save up (especially during the summer vacation special they're having atm) and only spend hourglasses on the minute things, the hourglasses pile up. The story and characters themselves are beautiful and I always laugh when I get the option to break the fourth wall. All in all, 20/10. I hope Cheritz releases more games in the future and that they're able to be played without time constraints so everyone can enjoy them because honestly, Cheritz is a genius.

okay this game is literally the best most emotional fun and just intriguing game ever. the only downside the the currency with the hourglasses doesn't i could only play the first free casual story. but let me just tell you i was hooked, throughout my day i'd make up times on when a group chat should open and check. i haven't done all the casual story routes i just finished yoosungs and honestly i don't think the other ones will compare 😎. the game made me feel loved happy and overall put me in a good mood anytime i got a notification from it. the emotional journey and the story, the little things like the emails and the guests you can invite, they make this game everything. when i tell you i was sobbing on the last day. I 👏 WAS👏 SOBBING👏! and honestly it hurts that i can't really do anything else and i'm so upset about that... i had managed to get 22 hourglasses when i finished so i bought an after ending thing and now i'm literally broke. i just wish we could unlock the other stories once we finished them one cause this is heart breaking :( i legit have an album on my phone full of photos and screenshots of things yoosung has said that had made my day and the photos he would send. i know i'm late to play it but i'm glad i gave this old game a chance, this game has literally changed my life for the better and i wouldn't have it any other way...

If I could give 10 stars, I would. I cannot believe I am just now leaving my review of Mystic Messenger. One day, In the summer of 2016, I was looking in the app store, tying to find a game that I would become obsessed with, trapped in the world, to love and appreciate every second I spent playing the game, since I really like to involve myself in phone games, especially otome. Then I came across Mystic Messenger. I had heard about it through a friend but never really bothered to download it. So thought to myself, "Why don't we try it out." I have never been so happy, and so pleased in my entire life. These next few lines I say are with not only physical emphasis, but more so with mental happiness. Mystic Messenger is not only an otome game, it will open your eyes up to your world around you. Yes you might be staring at your phone, but if you sincerely absorb, take in and process what each character struggles with and how they come to a realization within their personal world on how it affects them, you will by far feel lighter. Before I played MM, I was staring at the huge, towering wooden, double doors of Earth, but after playing a couple routes, specifically V's, I can see the full view and appreciate my Earth, and sun in a completely new way than before. this game not only brings tears to my eyes, but happiness to my heart, and for that I thank you, Cheritz. -Love, Piper 💕.

So I was on day five, I was finally going to be able to have an influence on the story, yeah? So I decided, hey why not work smarter not harder? There are I think 6-7 routes(?) and I wanted to be able to do multiple routes at once. Seems reasonable, right? No. No apparently it’s not. You can save files, but you have to pay hourglasses to load them. Five hourglasses every time. Hourglasses cost money (or hearts but it’s 100 hearts for ONE HOUR GLASS). Not only do you have to pay to load a file, but you have to pay for extra save files. You get four for free, and then you pay 50 hourglasses for more save files. Are you SERIOUS??? You really really want me to play this for weeks just to get all the routes, when by the end of it I’m going to be incredibly bored because I already know what happens. Sure. There are different endings. But it encourages you to get good endings, that’s why they’re called good endings. Because it’s an outcome that you should want. It encourages you to almost collect these endings by having a little list of route achievements. I have to wait hours just to read a little snippet of story anyway so I’m not really having any fun. In conclusion, They may very well have a good party, but I sure as heck will not be finding out. And just an fyi, I rated it five stars so maybe. Maybe more people will see it.

This game is amazing! It’s surprising, exciting and is just written really, really well! It did a fantastic job of pulling you in and really gets you caring for each of the characters. I just finished the first route and I can’t wait to try everything!! Without giving anything away: This game was not what I expected and I didn’t know that I would absolutely fall in love with it! There are (as with any game) a good ending and a bad ending. Depending on how you answer questions, talk with the characters and reply to the emails. If you try and participate in as many of the chats and answer calls right away you shouldn’t have to use your hour glasses. I have only had to use a couple here and there because I missed calls. I got the good ending with Yoosung and wish!!! That he and everyone were real. It truly helped me fight the loneliness of this past week as I have been dealing with my mom in the hospital for chemo. So thank u all again and please please please make more games like this!! P.s. if I had to list a minor complaint: I would say for those that do not have a lot of time on their hands it may be difficult to answer chats or calls late at night. But I never had any problems and again it is made for those that are lonely. I think they planned for the loneliest hours which are usually at night/early morning.
