Missed Messages is a visual novel that focuses on a single evening where the player’s choices decide the outcome of a story about friendship, love, and loss. Players interact with their roommate, reply to unexpected messages from a stranger, and decide how much attention to give to each conversation. With limited time, every choice shifts the direction of the story, highlighting how even small decisions can lead to completely different endings.
Balancing Humor and Serious Topics
The game blends lighthearted conversations, relatable online humor, and heavier topics like loneliness and mental health. Players might start by sharing memes or casually talking about plans, only to slowly uncover deeper struggles hidden beneath everyday conversations. Whether the player focuses on distractions or takes time to listen can determine whether they uncover the truth before it’s too late. This contrast between casual fun and serious moments gives the story its emotional weight.
Multiple Endings and Different Perspectives
Missed Messages offers four different endings, each shaped by how players split their attention and handle the conversations that unfold. Every playthrough highlights a slightly different side of the story, showing how much can be missed or understood based on how players choose to respond. By replaying and exploring all endings, players can see the full picture, making it clear how much impact one conversation can have on the people closest to them.
