Each character must overcome a problem, finding confidence in themselves and through the MC. Once players complete 5 calendar days, they will be set on the route of their man (or woman) of choice, which is where the major storylines begin. Finally, Seven is a memelord and hacker who longs to protect the R.F.A. Jumin is the chairman’s son to his company who loves cats and fine wine, but does not convey emotions easily. Yoosung is an addicted gamer dealing with the death of a loved one. Jaehee is the hard-working assistant to Jumin Han who wishes for a different career path.

Zen is a flirt and actor with a romantic side, both in love with himself and his selfies. Each of these characters is unique and go beyond the otome archetype. In the game, players can choose between 5 routes: Zen, Jaehee, or Yoosung in a casual story or Jumin Han or Seven in the deep story. One thing that makes a dating sim even better is the character choices, and Mystic Messenger is definitely succeeding in that area. These features are just one amazing part of the entire app. It’s also worth noting that the game is set in real time for roughly 10-11 days. Everyone also has their own schedules, and although you can call them, they may/may not respond or be awake. Characters will also message you throughout the day, asking if you ate lunch or if you are going to bed. Sometimes you have two or more options that will raise the affection of certain characters, and it is done in a unique way.įor example, if you want to go for the actor Zen, you can feed his ego but avoid acting like a fangirl if you want to raise affection and end up on his route. It’s almost as if there are people replying in real time and the lingo is pretty accurate and funny. However, Mystic Messenger takes otome games to a next level and is set up like texting.Ĭhatrooms are available all throughout the day and characters will text and call you at random or after story events.

Choices in these games are usually presented with art and in a visual novel form with portraits, music, and backgrounds. Many games in the otome genre allow players to pick certain choices that set them on a route in which they can attempt to date a certain character. With an app name like Mystic Messenger, one would expect to…message.
