Missed Messages is a heartfelt and thought-provoking Visual Novel that you can experience in about 30 minutes.
While it’s not a light read (it includes sensitive themes such as suicide and self-harm), I found it to be a moving experience. It’s free to play, so if you're up for it, definitely give it a try.

Story
The story may be short, but it delves into significant themes such as the complexities of depression, isolation, and the challenges of seeking help.
While it may not be a literary masterpiece, it remains a compelling and solid piece of storytelling.

Gameplay
You can interact with certain elements on the screen, which not only offers insight into the main character's thoughts but also plays a key role in advancing the story.

Visuals
The art style is minimalistic yet captivating. I particularly enjoyed the character designs.

Audio
The music and sound effects are subtle, yet they effectively enhance the atmosphere.

Technicalities
I encountered an issue with missing dialogue boxes, but restarting fixed it. It wasn’t a major problem, though it shouldn’t happen in such a short game.

Short but really good, genuinely made me tear up. Not sure if I'd necessarily categorize it as horror because the bad ends are more just depressing than anything, but that might just be my own narrowmindedness at work. Definitely a good choice if you want something that feels really real and that you can play in a relatively short amount of time, although I'm not sure if the 0.5 hours on record is actually correct in my case.

play this if you feel like bawling your eyes out ! :D
