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.

At the start of the game when I saw MC's monologue about gay pride and a rainbow gay flag in a college dorm, I can't help but thought to myself "Oh my **** god, is this another millennial-pandering woke propaganda?" Well, surprisingly no, after I sink into the story for a half hour. I start to really love this game. It's a good mixture of bittersweet/wholesome/depress/suicidal/hipster/deep/cute GL love story, with the warm art style and chills lofi music, it's PERFECT! To be honest, I am a cold and bitter person, but this game light up my heart a little bit and gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Most importantly, it's free, so you should totally give it a chance!

Cute little story about depression. Good visual style, gets a 7 because it isn't really anything special. It's just that, a 30 minute story that I feel like tries to do more than what it can really do.

While I'm not sure if it qualifies for the tag of "love/horror story", Missed Messages is a short and (bitter)sweet romp which can easily be completed in less than an hour. Beautiful to look at, I found myself getting lost in the charmingly rendered dorm room in which most of the game takes place and staring at the gorgeous illustrations. The chilled-out soundtrack perfectly matches the cute, pastel-colored world created by the artwork. As the trigger warnings indicate, the game's cute appearance masks some darker themes. While I found the handling of issues like self-harm and suicide a tad overt, the message it sends is an important one. Despite its short run-time, Missed Messages manages to pack in some frank discussions about heavy topics including depression and family problems, along with a good dose of humor to keep things from getting overly grim. Oh, and there are memes.
