I knew very little about the characters and the plot. The first time I played it, I basically went into it completely blind. It still does, but I promise it’s worth the wait. So, I first downloaded Mystic Messenger the night before my 17 th Birthday (I remember because I had a sleepover with my old best friend) and it actually took a really, really long time to install. But my advice would be to read my post, decide for yourself, maybe even download it and give it a little go. Actually, it might hinder you for reasons I will be mentioning later. Just because it helped me so much does not mean that it will help you as much. Now that I’ve got my little ‘Mystic Messenger is unique and shouldn’t be mocked for being a mobile game’ rant out of the way, I can move on and explain how it’s helped me through lockdown and with my mental illnesses in general. It’s not just the traditional mobile game that you can do whatever you want with and just leave it, you play when the game wants you to try, you play when the game intends for you to play. Mystic Messenger is so detailed just constantly leaves you wanting more. But you don’t get games like Mystic Masters on phones usually. The layout of Mystic Messenger makes it unique-it’s something that isn’t in normal videogames. Why would you want a game the is based on phone calls, emails and texts on a console? The short answer is you wouldn’t, because it just wouldn’t make sense. The plot and the depth to the characters are actually enough to make it a videogame-like the ones on consoles however the format of the game and the layout make it so that it just makes more sense for it to be on the phone. The thing with Mystic Messenger is that it is only a mobile game because it has to be a mobile game. But it has the detailed plot of an actual game. Mystic Messenger is unlike any game that I’ve ever played. Okay, before you stop reading, just hear me out, okay? Mystic Messenger is so much more than what I ever thought it was. I’ve been trying to focus on my mental health and I’ve started therapy too! So, what has actually kept me so busy? Mystic Messenger. But, apart from that, I’ve honestly been trying to recover from University and also I really needed to clean my house. I’ve recently got into Fifa (don’t ask, I know, it’s not like me to like games like that but now my Uncle is taking me to a football match if our team gets into the premier league so there’s that!). So, what have I been up to? Playing Persona? Playing a different game for once? Ha. Hello, Gamers! How are you doing? I am back and ready for action again after my very long, well-needed break. The main thing I did add an editors note for but yeah. Quick note to say that I wrote this towards the end of the first lockdown in England, so a few things may be off.
