Missed Messages
In Missed Messages, you play as a college-aged girl living in one of her school’s dormitories with her roommate May. It’s a visual novel, like Butterfly Soup or One Night, Hot Springs, although at first blush it doesn’t necessarily look like it. The game opens with you waking from a dream and exploring your room. There are various objects you can click on, like plants or books, and each click is accompanied by an inner monologue that gives you a sense of the main character.
You also have access to a laptop, where they have school work they should be doing. You’ll likely be spending a lot of time on the laptop during your first playthrough. The laptop is a Mac, and actually operates a lot like an actual Mac laptop. There is a Spotify-like app open, letting you change the game’s background music to one of three songs, and there’s also a Notes app open where your character is working on her homework. She can even receive AirDrop requests, which is how everything sort of kicks off.
Missed Messages purports to be a “romance / horror story,” although I don’t know if I would necessarily call it either. There are moments of romance and moments of horror, but collectively it feels personal. If the game had been just the conversation you’ll likely get on your second playthrough, I don’t think it would have the same impact. Instead, the game deftly and efficiently uses its first playthrough to put you in the right emotional space. That way, you can better understand and approach the situation at hand the next time you experience the story.
Missed Messages Review
Like judging a book by it’s cover, I was interested, so I installed. The game sort of captivates the underlying issues of our generation. (you’ll notice the subliminal messages/hints once you play.)
The one that really stuck out to me the most; Was when I got what I’d consider one of the “Bad endings”. (I’ll try not to ruin it.)
When people were talking about what happened, they showed a lack of empathy. “Oh, that sucks.” And that’s how people really are these days, it’s very unfortunate . If something horrible occurs, it’s just “Oh, that horrible.” and they’ll speak nothing more of it, and just continue about their day; “nonchalant”.
What I’m trying to say is –> People have been accustomed to hearing about tragedies, and think nothing of them.
People fail to realize how precious Life really is, and take a lot for granted.
But this isn’t supposed to be a rant, this is a review.
My advice: Do not rush! Take your time, and think about your decisions carefully. There’s different endings. Be sure to be perceptive of the ENTIRE environment, and the people you care for. — This just doesn’t go for the game itself, BUT also for living your day-to-day life.
