Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We think what they tried to do here is really creative. However there are a lot of issues with it. 1. The locking of parts of daily chats behind a paywall. This is SO BAD. Pictures, parts of chats, and even responses will be greyed out or unavailable if you dont pay. 2. MC is not really part of the games world. You as a player are more of an observer and do not have your own story line. For a romance game its an odd choice. You are more like the MLs virtual advisor/therapist lol So frustrating because it could have been a really groundbreaking game.
Its a fun game- we feel like it would be more interesting if you could meet them and it wasnt different spaces in time but other than that its good.
The game was ok but still lacked some elements, what is the point of the in game matchup app when the MC and the male characters cant even meet? What does it even mean that theyre in different times and spaces? The MC from another country or she not human? Its the only kind of romance this game lacks is the reality of in person meeting, Id love to see the 2 characters connect in person too not just through a phone screen. Its just really sad that the MC and the guys couldnt meet in person cuz ig the in game app wont even allow for some reason, theyre only stuck with their phones. Kind of a downgrade from mystic messenger honestly, 2 of the guys are too weak to face people and defending themselves due to one being raised in a rich family with an annoying greedy mom while the other is stuck between but mostly stuck with his ex and a psycho doctor with a bunch of immature employees on his half brothers island while his mom goes back to the social ladder. While all the MC can do is sit and watch, and feel regret and remorse or having to try so hard to tolerate it. We hope they can meet in person, there should be no reason to prevent them from meeting. How else are they gonna move on with their relationship? T-T.
We really love the concept that they get to be a part of our routine. We like Henri a lot so if possible, please give him more days. 30 days if not enough TT_TT.
Idc the negative reviews are wrong this game is fireeeee.
We luv this game so cute and very good too.
The app is great but Pi planet is set up all wrong. Ive only gotten one of the gorgeous images 1 time and Ive spun the pie 131 times. Why is it so hard to get a picture when they must be so time consuming to make? Dont yall want to share and not gate keep? It is immensely frustrating when Im waiting and waiting to even have the option to get a pretty picture and then miss it every time. Please change this or at least give an option to get the photos you missed some other way. Im sure there is a better way to do this.
Ok LOVE the game and the idea of it, but we actually hate the endings so much???? Especially for Henri, it feels incomplete and it's so short for what… We feel like they rushed the endings… We love that it's a causual game we can check in a few times a day to see pretty guys and smile, and the storyline is somewhat interesting, but idk we feel sad. We feel like theyve kinda given up on the game as the routes are getting shorter and worse, but we hope they add more content. We started with mystic messenger and we feel in love, so we were really excited to see they came out with a new game. After a while, we stopped playing and eventually returned after a year/2 yrs later. It might ruin the aesthetics of the game, but we wish we meet the characters at some point and cross worlds at the endings or smth. Overall, its great until the end.
We really love it we wish it was a bit more adultish for us who has been playing it for a long time But we still love it The game is our comfort place.
No spoilers but we did not enjoy this route. The problems that come up are easily solved however junes timidness grows exhausting, boring, and frustrating.
Ive been playing for a while now and Im hoping that theres just an error rn and we can log in in the morning, but it will not allow us back into our account. We literally almost cried but Im hoping that morning will let it work! We guess context is we have an account through Apple play. And the other three ways (google, facebook, email) just restart our progress. Other than this, we really, really love the game so far. Its everything we could want in an otome game and the storyline Ive played through so far is honestly well done. We just really hope we didnt get cut short. :,).
Ive been playing this game for a while and it logs our account out by itself. Its really frustrating. Overall we really love this game.
Its interesting its not bad but it has a lot of advertisements to make you buy things.It gets annoying the game is cool but you can tell how much they want you to buy things.The time limits are alright but whats annoying is you cant get all of the photos without having to spend batteries for some also some choices are locked behind batteries.Its also complicated to figure out on your own Im someone who barely reads directions for games unless needed and its needed in this game. Overall its an okay game could be better if it wasnt begging you to buy things and making you waste your batteries (which is hard to get) on photos and message choices.
We know its supposed to be a slow boil but its just so disappointing after playing Mystic Messenger. We log in at the appropriate time to find out that the person Im supposed to be communicating with is on a plane? WTH? And they expect in-game purchases so we can talk with the ridiculous AI bird. Sorryhard pass even for free.
HWEN IS SEASON 2 GUNNA COME OUT IM WAITING FLR JUNE TO COME BACK.
We downloaded this once a couple years ago and we were disappointed, we thought the animation, storyline and characters personality was extremely lacking, we had played Mystical Messenger, which is another game from the same people which we quite enjoyed, and they have just recently sent out a message saying June a characters from the SSUM: love of today has hidden ties to a character in Mystical Messenger so we decided to re-download it and try to figure out who it might be although Im not sure if SSUM has gotten any better we sincerely hope it has but Ill let you know once we start playing again (edit) so we had been playing the game for a couple days now and the animation and storyline we still feel is lacking and we havent seen any sort of hidden ties to Mystical Messenger besides a photo that they send and him saying he has never heard of the game he says a few things here and there that sound similar to what other characters in Mysticl Messenger usually say, but overall in SSUM Mysticl Messenger is viewed as a game so the characters are not real people, so Im not sure how hes supposed to have hidden ties to them its not what we originally thought it was supposed to be at all and his character is rather annoying with being a total mamas boy as he doesnt want to stand up to her at all as shes overly protective, but this is totally our opinion you might feel differently. We dont know if we will continue to play this game as its not really our type but we do like the different planets that you can try to find, and seeing different peoples comments in the game.
We try at least three types of device and system on ipad ,android and Mac is annoying that the game all stuck by the notification at the beginning.
There are way too many features. It is very confusing. All the tutorials are like 2 pages long. A more simple approach would have been a lot better.
Currently on day 52, already purchased the premium package, but still, too many 20 minutes of waiting. Sometimes we might remember and come back but then theres another 20 minutes and then 12 minutes and 7 minutes and over and over again so in the end we completely forgot about it and missed some of the chats. [spoiler] we also heard from other players that by the time when Day-200 comes, we still havent met Teo and in the end it turned out this is not an independent story but all related to MM? 200 days and nothing beyond simply just chatting happened? If thats true then Im gonna honestly be disappointed.
Pros: 1. You will not be lonely using this app since there will be guys to talk starting from waking up to night time 2. There are so many things to do other than talking to the guys. You can talk with other players and discuss them in many planets 3. Hot guys of course cons: 1. Literally you need to pay for some of the choices (and you can call the guy when you pick the choice but not always) not really good for f2p girlies 2. You have to wait 1-20 mins plus for the replies. Took too long but if were thinking optimistically, lets just say the guy is literally breathing for 1 minute.. 3. More days after harrys confession please we want to know how it will be after were dating. Overall, this is a nice game (bad if you are an impatient f2p same with us but we got to handle haha) im waiting for more guys to come so yeah.
After waiting for this game eagerly since its announcement in 2018, we are beyond thrilled with the results. Not only is this a wonderful otome game on the surface level, the planets allow for a deeper consumption of the game and an opportunity to become a part of a greater community. The mini-games within are adorable and there really isnt much more we could think of asking for! Thank you developers for your hard work and constant support.
We understand why people are frustrated with this game as you do have to wait often for the characters to reply back, but we completely get why the game is designed like this and we think if people understood that, then they might enjoy it a little more. The whole point of the game is that it states you get 200 days of chatting which is a long time! And we think its realistic when the character goes away for a few minutes or even 20! Im playing harrys story and he got lost (LOL) and he didnt reply until like 15 minutes later which we feel like is what would happen in real life if you were to get lost you wouldnt be texting instead of trying to figure out where to go right? Unless that person could help you somehow! The only problem we have is the translations. Some of the texts dont make sense or our replies or his replies dont make sense which sometimes confuses us as to what is even happening that is our only issue, so we hope they go back and go over some translations just to make sure it makes sense for us.
This game requires time! Its not one you can play for only a few minutes a day heck.. You are expected to play this game for YEARS! If you arent willing to put that time in then dont download it. This game is a dating sim with a huge community engage forum built into it. We love the community aspect that is built into the game. We enjoy talking to other players and sharing this experience with them. We enjoy the dating sim aspect of the game and we love the addition of a additional Romance Candidate. The game has some bugs, but generally it works without any issues most of the time. If you want a slow burn dating sim that will keep you interested over time then download it.
So have been playing harry route for 25 day the suddenly we were not be able to login with our Apple account so we were not able to login for a moth.we hope you can fix that cheriz.
We were excited about this app, but it was a huge letdown. We feel like they are always shoving something in our face to pay for. The chats sometimes consist of the character doing something else so you have to sit there and wait for him to response. Its frustrating. Majority of the answer choices arent what we would choose.
This looked promising, but not only is it confusing to the point of unplayability, talking with one person at a time gets so boring. It has nothing to capture your attention.
We really do like the game, but it does glitch when using iOS and Im afraid we lost our account. Make sure you have multiple ways to connect your account and screenshot your customer and user info if you are using Apple ID. Today it randomly logged us out and each time we try to log in, it tells us our connection is unstable and wont let us log in no matter what we do.
The game is fun, we enjoyed the extra bits! But what we didnt enjoy? Talking to Theo or whatever his name was. He wasnt interesting to us. Im glad they added another character, but honestly that doesnt make up for how annoying the games system is. It expects a specific schedule every day and doesnt work well with people with unusual or varying schedules. And to change that schedule, you need to pay. So two of the biggest advertisements for this game arent even that good. Dont get us wrong, its a good game, but the flaws are just, endless.
Its a nice game Id say we love it! We just dont like the fact we cant change our schedule. Im a student, and our schedule changes a lot. Sometimes, we dont even have the time to pick up our phone because Im busy with our work or Im in classes so we miss many chats. We think itd be a much more enjoyable game if we could fix our schedule when Im available.
We were a few weeks into Harrys route when the app reset our progress to the beginning. It did not find our email or Apple account, so we could not recover our progress. We just didnt have the motivation to redo everything. :/.
We ended up buying it and we STILL have to wait a minute between each of his replies. Harry is breathing. Harry is getting up. Harry is thinking multiple times before we can even send a reply ourselves lol we even had a reply will be 18 minutes at the most with it on. UGH. Whats the point of buying the fast message if we have to wait almost 10 minutes per short conversation.
Would it be possible to add pronouns so they wouldnt call us She all the time? It may make the male players uncomfortable to be misgendered.
Todo bien pero necesito que traduzca esta maravilla de app.
We appreciate that its not like MM but the whole emotion lab stuff is a lil complicated and unnecessary. Also wouldve been more interesting if teo and harry were in the same route like MM and the mcs choices decide their route. Also the prices for everything in the game is ridiculous, MM is so much better at its pricing idk what happened when it came to this game. We dont hate the slow pacing but it can get annoying and boring. Wish it was more lore heavy sometimes. Id give it a 6.5/10, it couldve been great If some things were different.
Cant use our apple login anymore and lost all of our progress :( this was one of our favorite apps to talk with others in the community.
We really do enjoy this game! And we would probably be giving it 5 stars right now! But the subscriptions are kind of expensive for what content you receive, in our opinion. It would also be nice if it were a little easier to make up missed conversations for the day without having to fork out serious IRL money! Anyway, Im only expressing any of this because we really do like this game a lot, and Im definitely already emotionally invested in the characters! Ill be sticking around either way :-).
Coming into this game we were obviously expecting to be other things you have to pay for like mystic messenger but they for sure went overboard. We see no point really in the subscription and the whole game just seems like more of a money grabber trying to get you to buy the subscription. We do not have enough money for this game :<.
We hope they add more characters in the future :) we also wish we can share more about ourselves.
Really extremely disappointed the characters dont even look that good either and just confusing.
This game is a huge cash grab and took everything positive that mystic messenger had and threw it in a dumpster fire. Now to get access to things you have to pay what might as well be a utility bill to get access to certain aspects of the game. Oh and not to mention you dont get unlimited batteries, if Im paying 30 something a month we do NOT need to pay extra for more batteries. That is insane to us. Oh and have fun with those beautiful ads by the way… We have no problem paying for some things but that pass is where we draw the line. This game is simply not worth that amount of money without a serious overhaul of improvements. Ive played this game for a few days now and Ive got to saythe English translations ruin our immersion as well. Sometimes we cannot even understand some sentences. If youre paying top dollar for that pass, those translations should be near perfect. Locking special conversations and photos behind batteries was a big turn off as well. Teo will also straight up leave conversations mid sentence for twenty minutes sometimes. Our dude we have places to be, if Im chatting, lets get this convo over in 15 minutes or sogood grief. Speaking of Teo, he is extremely bland and not interesting in the slightest. Ive seen blades of grass with more personality than him. We feel like theres a mixture of mystic messenger plots mushed together half the time in his story. There is such a lack in player preference in Teo that even from the start we wasnt interested in him in the slightest. More variety in Teo would be nice but unlikely. Overall, we are maddeningly disappointed with this game, Cheritz is a fraction of what they used to be in this game. And sadly, as always its all about money. Never putting our trust in a game company again.
And the dialogue options arent really good for the player they feel like nothing we would personally ever say or like mc is just acting or just dont feel like the fit im going to compare it to MysticMessenger in the sense so again biased a little bit, but the dialogues in that very rarely made us feel like that they always felt very natural most of the time or placed in reality.
Ive honestly had a lot of fun with this app! The first character introduced was Teo, and hes a little bit over the top for us. Hes like a very energetic puppy, but Ive really enjoyed Harrys route. The planets and games in this app are very fun, and its been nice having a routine to login and chat with Harry. We how more days are added to his route soon.
Game still works, it glitched on us again though, the day wont start and it says we didnt do our nighttime part from the night before either.
So far we really like the app. The daily emotion study has to be our favorite feature of the game. It does take the characters a long time sometimes to reply, but thats something Ive gotten used to. Besides that- no complaints.
We love MysticMessenger and have played that for years. Ive only played this one for 31 days. First off its quite a bit more complicated than we like. There are only two characters and one of them- Harry – is a boring, flat guy who wants nothing to do with MC and made us feel like we were some desperate puppy dog begging for attention. He constantly would brush us off or ignore us. We quit him in 3 days and now we are on Teos route. Teo is in his early 20s and younger than Harry. At least Teo makes you feel adored and loved. Unfortunately he is so darn innocent that if you choose something Very flirty to say he practically self destructs. There are at least 4 chats a day and some phone calls. The chats are extremely slow and ridiculously drawn out and you have to pay to get the chats on his part to go faster. Eg, you might end up waiting anywhere from 1 to 15 minutes for him to make a response! He will say wait a sec, or let us check something , or Im going to go to the store Ill text when we get there and so on to explain the long wait times. We get that Cheritz has to make money on this. Its not meant to be a free gift out of the goodness of their hearts. They are a business and we wont complain or fault them for trying to make money on this game ever. Its our choice to play or not. You CAN play much of it free which is pretty darn amazing and quite generous of Cheritz and much less costly than most other games like this. We just use the long wait times to do some of the other things that are needed in order to earn energy, batteries, and tokens etc that you need to have in order to make everything work in the best possible way if you cant afford the extras. One tip we would give; this is a game that requires some in-depth participation and interaction with other players in order to get the full advantage of gifts, tokens, supports, batteries, etc so gear yourself up for expressing your creative writing skills which will be very helpful in fully enjoying this game. Both of the male characters are aspiring film directors so you interact with them a lot about these types of venues. There are even some wonderful surprise MysticMessenger cameos that sneak in when you are least expecting it! We actually texted back and forth with Jaehee while we were supposed to be taking with Teo because of the scenario where she accidentally switched her phone with a worker at a cafe she went to and in the Ssum that cafe worker was Teo! Its really cute and fun that Cheritz is doing these crossover cameo appearances. Even Zen has a roll. Not sure who else sneaks in but Im only on day 31. Re Harry; a-lot of players like him a lot despite his personality but we couldnt handle him. With Teo you actually play for 200 days and with Harry its just 100. So far theres no actual talk re serious plans to meet which is pretty weird and kind of a turn off. We were told that this changes later on. So if you play, you will have more rewards if you immerse yourself and get involved in all the different areas available. It sometimes seems like busy work but it pays dividends if you do and makes it easier to play without too much $$ investment. Think of it as the job you do in that world when you cant talk to your chosen guy.
Honestly, REALLY underwhelming compared to cheritz other games. More for someone who just wants a basic sweet bf slow paced text simulator. Does not even compare to the plotlines, function, soul, or even design of nameless, dandelion, or mysmes. Not to mention the interface is just kind of. Ugly and confusing.
Full of ads, basically unplayable with the chat wait times in each chat.
We really like the layout and overall idea of the app but it doesnt run very smoothly and its a bit glitchy. Itd be easier to play if the conversations didnt just stop right in the middle and come back 20 minutes later. It also sends lots of notifications that arent necessary and it sends them while im in the chatroom. We really like the smaller features and easter eggs.
This game has a great concept and all but the time it takes to reach a relationship with teo is so long, and the fact that we have to wait mid-conversation for teo to get back to his phone. Teo is breathing teo is thinking its just so annoying.
We admit the first few days we didnt even like Teo. But, soon day7+ you get to know him a bit better. This game is meant to have conversations for over 100 days so it will take time for everything to unfold. It might feel frustrating the first few days, but if you keep playing and give it a chance youll find that its actually really nice. Its almost very similar to how conversations between you and a real stranger could go. Dont expect to be dating teo on day 1, this is like a slow burn. Slowly introducing yourself and getting to know each other. Im currently on day 30, and its nice so far, we like the messages and the interesting life Teo has. There are good funny moments. Although there are features locked behind a paywall, its not necessary to purchase it. Also has some MM references which we adore.
