Thank you so much for this game. The art style and music was incredible, and the messages were impactful. As someone who struggles with suicidal ideation and self harm, this really hit home for me, even ended up shedding a few tears haha. So again, thank you so much for this. You represented the struggles well, and did an amazing job. <3
What in GODS name happened to this comment section. Why are there so many trolls here? Don't let this get you down, author- this game genuinely is so amazing. It's so beautiful and sad and raw, and one of my favorite games on itch. Genuinely a must play.
junk game, just use his drawing skills to cheat us. u will waste your time if you download this one. the developer failed to see the truth of depression, whats more , i dont support gay
I must say this game is something else. Truly top tie, I love this so much. you hit all the emotional points making me almost cry. keep up this quality of work
My first playthrough i have no idea what am suppose to do, also i predicted already who gon suicide in my first playthrough :p i predicted it quick... ye she ded cri.
my second playthrought is a good one.. i stopped playing after getting that ending i aint getting my heart broken.
I have notes: 1: The rest of the apps don't work on the computer. Mildly disappointing (jk the computer functionality is great, love the attention to detail) 2: Apparently I can work until 7:00 PM the next day (I was here for 6 hours straight figuring out how to break the game, so I figured I'd just tell it to work until it didn't anymore) There's more, but it's 5:00 AM irl, and I've not slept in 12 hours now, and they're all jokes, so I'll give my honest review of this game as though it were a piece of literature (which it is):
In all my history of literature and whatnot, there have been three things that have really stood out to me. The first was Allegiant, the last installment of the "Divergent" series by Veronica Roth. The second was a one-act that someone in my high school drama class wrote called "Her(t)," and the third on this list, just above the Hunger Games, is this game I found on Itch.io called "Missed Message," a visually stunning, well orchestrated, emotionally moving piece of literature that I just spent 6 hours playing almost nonstop.
So just to be clear, I just said that this story is better than the Hunger Games, and is only topped by my literal favorite book of all time. It's the kind of thing that makes me want to take 20-30 minutes out of my... well, I wasn't going to sleep anyway, but that time was taken out of something- 20-30 minutes of my day to simply stop and appreciate this story, and also sarcastically tell you that it's disappointing I can't play this game on the computer inside the game. I mean, come on, what is this?
P.S. To those of you in the comments who will complain about how long I wrote this, you should know that my brain moves at about a mile a minute past midnight, so this is my natural habitat, to write entire essays at 5:00 AM. I'm also so tired I can't pronounce "AM" properly in my head, it sounds like "I am"
Oh, also, any recommendations for another similar game? I've been in the market, but Itch.io isn't really good for that, and I can't spend money rn (sending it when I can ofc), but I would love more games/stories like this.
This one hit a little too close to home and yet it was quite healing. I am a lot like May, and when she was talking about her struggles it was like she was describing me. I could tell that this game wasn't made by someone who just googled about depression, self-harm and suicide, but rather someone who knows about it. And that's why I believe you did a great job and the game really helped me. I will make sure to get the goodies and pay some for it (as long as I can pay in Euros) because you deserve it.
incredible game, was the first playthrough that ill be uploading on my yt and it was well worth a try. everything from the art style to the narrative for great. the audio was immersive and the sense of freedom you had within this game with the choices to ignore messages or get back to work were a great feature. would highly recommend trying for anyone who likes this type of art style
So my gf showed me this game. Im a guy. At first i was like "Bro whyd u off urself" but the more I got into it i realized how deep it really is. When u leave the house May feels as if there isnt any support, and that only fuels the urge to off herself. She feels like you dont care about her as much. Simply spending time with her and understanding lets her know your there for her. The text message ending is the worst for me cuz you dont know wether shes okay or not. It shows that you should always choose to spend time with people you know rather than new ones if it seems like the right thing to do. You never know when they need a hug.
I must say this game is something else. Truly top tie, I love this so much. you hit all the emotional points making me almost cry. keep up this quality of work
I love this game , it really caught me off guard on the 1st play through it , I was too invested in the gothic "gf" . But I kept playing until I saved her.

The Painting Style is really delicate and fresh, love it！
why is everyone finding it funny about a suicide like i know its a game but its a game about things that actually happen.
anyway this was a great game i loved it its quite realistic and quite relatable
I SAVED HER RAHHHHHHHHH
Great Story overall 7/10 and the Art was great too would recommend to others
junk game, just use his drawing skills to cheat us. u will waste your time if you download this one. the developer failed to see the truth of depression, whats more , i dont support gay
I don't think anyone gives a FLYING fuck, if you support gays or not. Simply, keep your opinion to yourself, dude.
you deserved all those downvotes tbh.
Oh wow, I played Missed Message long ago and now I see it here! It makes me very happy that it’s now available for download, I really like this game!
i wish may was the cute gf insead of the goth one
why not have her be the cute-goth gf? best of both worlds!
An amazing game that even made me cry, it had made me replay the game a few times too, just so I could get the happy ending. Great and emotional game.
i love this game, made me cry
