It was already hard enough to try and save up for the deep story, and now it’s more than double the hourglasses it was before. I love how the game operates on real time but it SUCKS to have to start over and spend more hourglasses more often to try and get the other stories. I just want to play the game and it gets very boring and annoying to have to do the same things over and over. Please make the story selections cheaper bc 590 for another story is ridiculous. ### 3/5 — It’s alr *2026-07-23, version 1.24.3* Every time I try login in it kicks me out i even changed my email but still it keeps kicking me out and I have restart everything ### 5/5 — Would Love a Vanderwood Route *2026-07-07, version 1.24.0* I only got into mystic messenger in December so I’m new gen, but I love Vanderwood and I would love to see him get his own route, even though I know the game isn’t really updating anymore. Anyways love Cheritz!! ### 5/5 — Redownloaded after 10 years <3 *2026-07-04, version 1.24.0* Redownloaded following the Love and Deepspace fiasco. I had to come back to my roots ✊🏻✊🏻 ### 5/5 — Please update w a possible new route *2026-07-02, version 1.24.0* Most fantastic game I’ve ever spent money on (the only one) I would love it if this company put more effort into this game again it’d be really good.. ### 5/5 — Change cover back now *2026-07-01, version 1.24.0* Change the cover back to normal now ### 5/5 — Goated *2026-06-30, version 1.24.0* This lowered my cortisol levels 🙂‍↕️ and the game is unmatched to this day. There’s no other otome game that could replicate this gem. Edit: PLEASEEE MAKE A VANDERWOOD ROUTE ### 5/5 — I hate this game *2026-06-30, version 1.24.0* I HATE THIS GAME SO MUCH STUPID HOT LADIES AND MEN TEMPTING ME TO STAY UP TILL 3 AM. Will ruin your sleep schedule (is worth it….) ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-06-30, version 1.24.0* As a male player, I love to be able to do Seven’s route as a male since he’s the only one thats bi canonically (afaik). Hard disagree that all romance options should be available for male player tho. ### 5/5 — Mystic messenger 2??? *2026-06-25, version 1.23.21* I know this game has been kind of just sitting here but I’m going to need a mystic messenger 2 or something because this game has been a long time favorite. LETS MAKE THIS A REALITY PEOPLE! ### 5/5 — Sensational. *2026-06-24, version 1.23.21* I have been a long time fan of this game i play through it about twice every summer for about 4 years just because i love unlocking more things I’ll love this game forever it is just so unique! ### 2/5 — Won’t load *2026-06-18, version 1.23.21* It won’t load. Not matter what I try, restarting the game, changing my WiFi, deleting it and redownloading. It refuses to load. The only time it opened was when I deleted the game, but it got rid of all my progress. Which is fine because I had no progress anyway, since the game WONT LOAD. ### 5/5 — Will ruin your sleep *2026-05-03, version 1.23.14* Absolutely worth it, game is perfect and I wish more games were like it. Needs more updates, and 707, don’t care what the update is about, could be awful but I’d love it anyways. <3 ### 5/5 — Nostalgic and wonderful game *2026-04-26, version 1.23.14* Mystic messenger really helped me in one the hardest times in my life— it will always hold a special significance in my life and my memories for that— and I love this game still. It holds up, and I just wish that a little more love could be shown to it again! It feels a bit forgotten and it would make so many people happy if this game could get more updates! Cherry, you have loads of supporters who love your work and are so willing to help support you!! Thank you for making this— and thank you for all of your generous donations to charity, i would appreciate an update if that’s possible at all. 💗 ### 5/5 — Love the Game *2026-04-24, version 1.23.14* I love the game! This game is addictive and I love each character making it really hard to choose!!! ### 5/5 — PLZ MORE CONTENT *2026-04-17, version 1.23.14* I’m being so SERIOUS CHERITZ! I will spend so much MONEY IF YOU JUST ADD MORE CONTENT. I’ve been a fan for 6 years I NEED CONTENT PLEASEEE TAKE MY MONEY!! I NEED CONTENT (like Ray and v valentines etc) I’m sure others would love it aswell ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Raised HG prices *2026-08-15, version 1.24.4* I used to really enjoy this game a few years ago, but in a recent update, they drastically raised the HG prices which seems very greedy to me. I know this game is pretty old, but raising the prices after all these years feels like back stabbing old fans. It also sucks for new fans since they have to grind more in order to unlock the other routes which takes away from the enjoyment of the game. I’m not going to support this developer anymore because they clearly don’t care about their players now. ### 1/5 — Mass Banning Longtime Players *2026-05-14, version 1.23.19* The game’s mass banning longtime players for having hourglasses accumulated despite not releasing new content to spend the hourglasses on, so it’s reasonable that over the span of nearly 10 years, hourglasses would accumulate. Disappointing ### 1/5 — banned for no reason *2026-05-14, version 1.23.19* you guys must hate your fans for doing something like this to us? I have spent real money on you guys and you could do something like that to us? ### 1/5 — Banned for no reason *2026-05-14, version 1.23.19* I’ve been playing for years, I love the game. But my account got banned for seemingly no reason and I know I’m not the only one. I’m so heartbroken because I bought all the dlc and additional content in the app as well as the phone cards and several hourglass purchases over the years. Even if I made an account all the work and money I put into my account would be gone. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-03-28, version 1.23.14* Good game but very buggy and ruins the whole experience… I’m debating playing it again because it’s so glitchy. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-03-16, version 1.23.14* It doesn’t save ### 1/5 — If you miss a chat you can’t play until you buy the chat back. *2025-11-30, version 1.23.9* I don’t have money to spend on hour glasses and you only get 30 to start the game, if you miss a chat (like if your asleep since the game makes chats happen all night while your asleep) you have to use 10 hourglasses to revive the 1 chat and you can’t enter any chats until you’ve bought and attended the missed ones. Which means in turn when you run out of hourglasses you can’t do anything else in the game anymore. It’s a terrible design:( ### 1/5 — Not my cup of tea *2025-10-10, version 1.23.3* I hate ts with a passion, I blame my friend for putting me through this ### 1/5 — não carrega o jogo *2025-10-01* não consigo jogar, só fica carregando e não entra ### 1/5 — cant load game *2025-08-10, version 1.22.38* i cant get past the loading screen ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-08-22, version 1.24.5* Played this off and on for years now. Exciting story, challenging, and so so fun!! This game will always hold a special place in my heart. ### 5/5 — Our girl! *2026-08-17, version 1.24.5* I love this game and how it plays out in real time - the storyline is also rewarding to delve into, with characters completely endeared to me by the end of each route again and again. My OOOONNNLLYY issue is that we can't ROMANCE Jaehee! She deserves love from the MC too, and only not in subtext! Much love otherwise! Very fun game, and completely f2p! ### 5/5 — I will always love them🥹 *2026-08-10, version 1.24.4* 🫰🏻❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS GAMD *2026-08-10, version 1.24.4* been playing since middle school in 2020 and now i’m in college. this game still holds up to how i remember! yoosung kim 4life ### 5/5 — My favorite game of all time!!! *2026-07-20, version 1.24.2* I love you Cheritz and I love RFA ### 5/5 — oh my god *2026-07-18, version 1.24.2* you have NO idea how good this game untl you try ir ### 5/5 — 707 *2026-07-13, version 1.24.0* i love 707😋 ### 5/5 — saeran choi ily *2026-07-08, version 1.24.0* this game made me who i am today ngl ### 5/5 — goat *2026-07-08, version 1.24.0* absolute banger. i play it every summer. best game ever. ### 5/5 — jaehee *2026-07-08, version 1.24.0* I love uou --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
