I love this game its very creative and its so fun to play I think this might be my new favorite. And I want to thank you for the great game you created.
Very interesting game indeed, Only played through one playthrough to see what I got, I always get these types of endings in games and im not sure why LOL
Aaah this game is great! So many different endings.. It's amazing :D So far i've gotten 3 endings in 18 minutes UwU that goth girl makes me like May more lmao when i saw May commit suicide i got pretty sad that i would've cried- And i love the art style it's so good! The laptop and characters are my favorite thing about the art I hope there are more updates to come :D
Now what you have to do is drink the tea and when it says you have to go to the bathroom and you'll see her in the bathroom ya know, and instead of hugging her just ask her if she's okay and you'll see. It'll give you an ending that says survivor.
this game is pure art. every little detail and the story, also rlly epriciate the little things on the computer. it made me rlly emotional becase i had and still have struggle with suicidle toughts.
Beautiful. Just beautiful. An absolute work of art. I absolutely love the way you can "see" all the items and view things. [I know that sounds dumb, but yeah.
This game is beautiful. As someone who has struggled with suicidal ideation in the past, the good ending playthroughs are a really wholesome experience.
I swear, this game is amazing. like the story is touching and made me want to cry (and I haven't felt like that in MONTHS) and the art? beautiful. like i cant even describe in words how good this game is.
the first game to ever make me cryyy. i absolutely love this gamee the story really touched my heart. the artstyle and visuals are really beautiful, makes me feel peaceful. the music also matches the vibe. im definitely going to appreciate the people around me more now. looking forward to more games like this :)
Amazing!! Was only going to do one ending but I had to do all four. brilliant characters, art, just everything. absolutely heart wrenching though 10/10 would sell my soul to play again
The second game from Angela He I've played, and I'm starting to see a pattern. Missed Messages hits hard on all fronts, covering a multitude of emotional peaks throughout the short but impactful story.
So, Im on linux since im saving up for a macbook and instead of downloading steam i wanted to judt download the files and also i kne games would be laggy on the steam version so i just thought might as well just try do download so i did that and realized that i cant extract the file because i dont have a app to extract and download it so if anyone who is also on linux that checks back here help me so i can stop playing steams laggy version thanks. If you find a way can you message me on discord rano#0116
PROS: breathtaking artstyle....like HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!! CONS: imho the way the game handles mental health falls flat at best and inflicts damage to people with friends/family who are dealing with mental issues at worst (lots of 'wow thanks Im cured' moments and as a mentally ill person it made me feel that everyone probably sees me as a burden)
When I launched the game it started me in the middle of another scene, which I really wasn't expecting. I don't know if it's a glitch, or just really bad pacing. When I kept playing, the rest of the game made up for that. Talking to May made me feel happy, and I could relate to a lot of the problems in-game. When I got the good ending I cried.
But there's another aspect of the game that should be discussed. It's realistic. Painfully so. I've had numerous friends come to me with suicidal thoughts (mostly online), and it takes a lot of attention and work. This game actually makes you feel like someone else's life is in your hands, and if you don't spend every other second you have to care for them, they die. That's what it felt when my friends came to me with suicidal thoughts. Exactly how it felt.
You can look at that as either bad and depressing, or good and transparent. Regardless, the game is great, and it's definitely worth the fifteen minutes it takes to play.
I love how delicate this game is. It makes me feel so "at peace" and maybe even attached to reality (I really liked the scene where you talk with May in her room, beautiful :) ), but at the same time it deals well with its themes, it treats them with not too much heaviness and "drama", for me, and maybe that's what makes me think that this game is... "Delicate".
A comment said that saving May made them roll their eyes. For me, the fact that "the game convinces you that it actually the blood is on your hands", it has to do with the fact that us, the protagonist, really cares about May, and even though a person, normally, tries with all their might to not blame themselves, when someone that you care about dies you always think about your shortcomings towards that person in every case (if I have to say something a bit more "personal": when one of my grandmas died, even though she died for a sickness, I thought about how I should have visited her more, I felt really bad that I wasn't closer to her when she was alive, I even thought that I was a bit selfish for not doing that... And, like I said, I wasn't even that close with that grandma and she didn't die for depression or anything, she was just sick). Maybe that's why the game presses a lot on "it's our fault that May died". She died of suicide, the protagonist thinks that they were "selfish", and with that comes guilt for their shortcomings.
That's what I think. I don't know if I missed some details on the comment that may explain or even debunk my words.

The Madoka Magica poster was enough to convince me to install the game :)

i just have a ending when may is... yeah... someone help?
ignore the goth gf's messages, keep your attention on May, look for her when you don't see her around

What are the two endings you got? If you wanna get different endings try choosing different options for everytime you play :)
I've gotten hope and forgive i'll try picking different options ty for responding :]

If I only knew from the beginning the “goth gf” was just a chat mate, I would’ve just ignored her lol...
The name tricked me .that’s why I had to make her a priority than my roommate 🤦🏻♀️
Nice game btw. Life lessons
I really like the game.
The overall experience is phenomenal
The reference of Madoka Magica is cute.

Omg, I played this game before and I didn't know that it is made by you. I definitely love your games!!
