Good-ish game with two big problem

Not a bad game at all I was honestly expecting something worse going in given the reviews I've read but it's actually a pretty decent experience I've played June's route and I thought it was pretty good I really like the concept of like a long route in otome game's so I thought that was fun more content is always a good thing in my opinion. Idk about the other routes but for June's I thought the story was pretty good and at the end I really enjoyed the video showing like the collage of them working on the art and play testing and stuff. But I would say there was a few things that threw me off. The two biggest issues I have with this game are the english translation problem and the pay for choices thing. In a multi choice game I find it utterly ridiculous that choices are paywalled. Otome games like these are litterly multi choice so you're litterly paywalling the main feature of the game like that. People complained alot about how greedy this game was but honestly I don't see that big a problem with anything else they're paywalling BESIDES THE MAIN FEATURE. I think it would vastly improve the games quality if they just removed that one thing. Everything else you have to spend batteries on makes sense to me, like the profile picture thing and calls and stuff like that those all make sense. Just the making you spend batteries to choose what message to send it horrendously greedy and stupid in my opinion. I promise people will still purchase batteries for all the other features they can spend it on like goodness. I hate to compare but just for reference sake in this one aspect ; I know very well people were throwing their money at Mystic Messenger for hour glasses back in the day and that game didn't paywall the reply feature. Anyways though another issue I've run into is poor translation. I'm not sure how they translated the game but they should definitely re-review the translations. In the messages I, You and they were mixed up alot, like for example when mc would be talking about June instead of saying "you" or "him" when talking about him, the messages would read "I" and "me" wich confused me multiple times because then it seems like we were talking about ourselves. And if I'm remembering correctly June would do the same thing when talking about MC or other characters and even Piu Piu did it a couple of times. It was a little immersion breaking but besides that I didn't notice any other big translation errors. Besides those two things I thought the game was fun, I adore the art style for June and Henri and thought the art was pretty for those two (Not so much Harry and Teo's art style but I'm not gonna get into that since that can be chalked up to personal preference with finding that style ugly) At the end of June's route they hint that Minha and K downloaded the ssum so my main wish for the future is that they actually add routes for those two (Specifically Minha I really have to praise her character I LOVE her she's one of the best female characters I've come across in an otome game and I really hope they follow through with the hinting and make her romance able!!) MAKE MINHA AN OPTION PLEASE

Update

Hi I love the game but I didn’t know this game existed till this year when are you guys going to update your game I finished 2 routes Henri and June I would love to get more routes with Henri and June.

Cheritz you both game and great

Great game

Love the characters love the story in all the route. You guys did a great job with the voice actors. This is my second favorite game I played.

There is one thing that needs to be improved is the post it needs to have a translator so people can know what they’re asking. Please add that to the update

Fell in love, with the game ;)

This has honestly been a great game. So engaging and I look forward to playing each day for each little piece. My only wish is they update with a new character to keep the fun going. I know the community would LOVE that. And of, course maybe extend some of the stories 👀

Great game but there’s a problem

I was on the 4th day and the game got updated I’m not sure if this is normal but for some reason it reset me to day 1.

More days

I really love the concept that they get to be a part of my routine. I like Henri a lot so if possible, please give him more days. 30 days if not enough TT_TT

Super fun.

I loved playing it but u do think some more marketing and development would do it some good. Maybe more love interests to choose from? I still enjoyed it though and as someone looking for something to quench my Mystic Messenger thirst, this worked wonderfully.

LOVE THE GAME AJDJDJ

i just wish jumin han wa sthere 😭😭

change the text convos please

sorry but I just can’t get into this game with having to wait sometimes 5 to 20 minutes between text messages. that is absurd. the storylines seem kind of cute but i can never really get that into it because of the ridiculous ways the text conversations are played out. such a disappointment after mysme.

Amazing app

I luv this game so cute and very good too

Dialogue

What is this dialogue man? It’s so bad.

Cute and good story

It is calm and chill, unlike mystic massenger you can set the time yourself so no need to wake up at 4 am. Also the story is slow because it unfolds at real time. You would be surprised how far their foreshadowing goes. Although unfolds slowly, story is captivating too. There were time I was anxiously waiting for the next chat time, possible to play completely for free but it will withhold some pictures and some chat options from you. I experienced both the paid and unpaid play, things that are hidden don’t affect story significantly. You don’t have to pay if you don’t want to. I want a new update for June and Henry please >:(

Pi planet is seriously getting on my nerves

The app is great but Pi planet is set up all wrong. I’ve only gotten one of the gorgeous images 1 time and I’ve spun the pie 131 times. Why is it so hard to get a picture when they must be so time consuming to make? Don’t y’all want to share and not gate keep? It is immensely frustrating when I’m waiting and waiting to even have the option to get a pretty picture and then miss it every time. Please change this or at least give an option to get the photos you missed some other way. I’m sure there is a better way to do this.

It’s fun!

It’s fun if you play it lightheartedly - however don’t give into the pressure to complete everything lol.

hmm

ok LOVE the game and the idea of it, but i actually hate the endings so much???? Especially for Henri, it feels incomplete and it's so short for what... I feel like they rushed the endings... I love that it's a causual game I can check in a few times a day to see pretty guys and smile, and the storyline is somewhat interesting, but idk i feel sad. i feel like theyve kinda given up on the game as the routes are getting shorter and worse, but i hope they add more content. i started with mystic messenger and i feel in love, so i was really excited to see they came out with a new game. after a while, i stopped playing and eventually returned after a year/2 yrs later. it might ruin the aesthetics of the game, but i wish we meet the characters at some point and cross worlds at the endings or smth. overall, its great until the end...

Great concept poor execution

I think what they tried to do here is really creative. However there are a lot of issues with it.

1. The locking of parts of daily chats behind a paywall. This is SO BAD. Pictures, parts of chats, and even responses will be greyed out or unavailable if you don’t pay.

2. MC is not really part of the games world. You as a player are more of an observer and do not have your own story line. For a “romance” game it’s an odd choice. You are more like the MLs virtual advisor/therapist lol

So frustrating because it could have been a really groundbreaking game.

Very creative and fun :3

A nice spin on regular Otome games, without those pesky ads. I loved Mystic Messenger but it’d be wrong to compare the two. There’s so many features and interactive things to do I love it and the concept! I’m on June’s route right now and he is so cute💕

It’s good

It’s a fun game- I feel like it would be more interesting if you could meet them and it wasn’t “different spaces in time” but other than that it’s good

Awful Season 2 Update

I wrote and submitted this review before but for some reason it was never published? Weird.

Anyway, beware of this game. It makes excuses for SA and completely brushes it under the rug like it’s nothing.

It happens on June’s route and his ex-girlfriend tried to SA him and the excuse is that she was going through an identity crisis. Ab*se of any kind is NOT okay no matter what reason whether it be mental health issues/identity issues or whatever else and the fact that this game tries to make excuses for it is sickening. June himself was uncomfortable with her but at the end of the route he's fine with her and even becomes friends with her in one of the epilogues. And everyone else seems to brush it underneath the rug, including some of the choices you can say nice things about her despite knowing what she did.

It's disgusting and what's worse is that there are NO consequences to her crime and the other person who helped her. No jail time, nothing, just a sorry excuse for an apology that including blaming June for "letting" her bully him while they dated when they were younger (he was timid and sickly when they dated but it was obvious by his reactions that he didn't like it).

I’m beyond disgusted and that whole route (Henri’s too) was a waste of time.

The game was fine at first with Teo and Harry but this? No.
