Recensione Mobile: Mystic Messenger

If there are fans of otome games among the readers, they will surely already know Mystic messenger, visual novel game released last year for both iOS and Android. The game is free to download and is available in English and Korean, within the game there is the possibility to make purchases but they are not absolutely necessary for completion.

Screen

The protagonist of whom we will play the role is a young girl who, after downloading an app to chat with handsome guys on her phone, is contacted by a stranger (called Unknown) who directs her to an apartment. Once she reaches her destination with concern, the protagonist will be convinced to stay in the house where Rika, a young girl who ran a charity, once lived. Through the chat you will come into contact with the various characters of the game that you will only be able to meet live after having overcome various obstacles. The final task of the game is to manage to organize a splendid charity party playing the role that was Rika.

modality

There are currently two modes available in Mystic Messenger (but a new mode is coming in a few days): Casual Story (3 stories) and Deep Story (2 stories). It is not possible to access the Deep Story without first completing at least one of the stories contained in the Casual Story. As the names themselves suggest, the casual stories are usually lighter and go less deep into the life of the characters, unlike the deep stories which will reserve many twists for the "gravity" of the events.

Gameplay

The peculiarity that distinguishes Mystic Messenger from all the other otome games is being developed as a real chat, where we can choose some phrases suggested by the game itself to start us towards the path of the character we want. The chats are spread over 11 days of play and are essential both to be able to get to the end and to take the path we want. The game is not without obstacles, in fact our answers will depend on our answers but often also that of the characters we interact with. The path is dotted with probable "bad ending" that we will have to try to avoid in every way to reach the ending (the latter may be "normal ending" or "good ending"). During the game you will also receive real phone calls, text messages and emails that will make the experience even more realistic.

After completing a path, an "After ending" section will automatically unlock to see how our love story with the chosen character continued, moreover, during the entire game all the images that will be shared by the characters will be saved in one special folder called "Extra".

Extra Content!

During the holidays we will be able to play with chat rooms created especially for the occasion! Updates have already been released for April Fool's Day and Christmas. These extra sections are not necessary to complete the game, but they are a nice pastime for those who have already completed all the desired routes.

Mystic Messenger is an out of the ordinary otome game, rich in content and extremely long-lived despite being totally free! The textures are also sure to grab your attention!
