zen: don't go to bed late also zen at 3 a.m: Im DoInG rEheArSaL

Yoosung: “Rika used to see” V: “I used to see too”

when you only want to chat with hot characters but then suddenly become sherlock Holmes

them : Don't stay up to late!! It's bad for your health. also them : texts me at 3 in the fucking morning

Yoosung: i have dark circles from playing lolol Me: i have dark circles from chatting with you

MC:*Dead on the ground* *At funeral* Yoosung:Rika used to die.

After 5 years and this fandom is still alive. This fandom is as resilient as the plot armor titan. It just never dies.

even if i lost sleep, missed classes, or had to run away to chat with fictional characters.... this game was one of the best fixations/adictions i ever had, and i love this phase i went through in middle school. it gives me a genuine smile in my face when i remember waking up at 3 am being so tired just to chat with seven haha. this game will be Forever in my heart, not only it taught me to be kinder, but also helped me through some tough traumas. hope more people get to experience its fun!

friend: how long does it take to fall in love? me: 11 days

Mc: *sleeps* *Phone rings* Yoosung's. Message: *"rIka uSEd tO sLEEp eVeRY nIGht"*

Did you eat today? Did you eat today? Did you eat today? Did you eat today? That reminds me of Rika.. Did you eat today? Did you eat today? Did you eat today? Did you eat today? Did you eat today? Did you eat today? Jumin that guy… Did you eat today? Did you eat today? Assistant Kang, please issue another cat project Did you eat today? Did you eat today? Did you eat today?

No one: Seven: adding lololol after every sentence

Mc: *does nothing* Yoosung: RiKa UsEd tO dO nOtHiNg tOo

mc: *inhales* yoosung: rika used to inhale

i remember setting alarms in the middle of the night for this game 😭 i miss this era so much, i still remember the lyrics

HI WELCOME TO THE GAME THAT MAKES YOU FEEL MORE LOVED THAN THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW IRL DO

friend: it's just a game me: *setting alarms for 3am* nO iT iSnT

This game ruined my sleep schedule EDIT: GUYS THIS IS THE MOST LIKES IVE EVER GOTTEN ON A COMMENT! THANKS EVERYONE SO MUCH !

0:21 Does anyone else thinks it's so cute when he tries to pronounce "ringing"? ITS SO CUTE I SKSJAKWJ

Addicted to a dating sim. What sad lives we all live. Let's get through this together, comrades.

MC : **breathes** Yoosung : Rika used to breathe too

5 years later. . . and i'm still obsessed with this game T_T every break from school it's time to crack out mystic messenger happy winter break to my fellow students! +_+

It's 2022 now and i'm still obsessed with MM, this game has healed me for years, making me feel appreciated and cared for. I know this is just a fantasy game with fictional characters, but somehow all of them make me feel speical

The saddest part of this game is the reset button and when you have to be slightly rude to the other characters to get on a certain route, it's just hurts, they're not even real and it hurts

" How Are You Doing Today, Same Questions Every Single Day " MC: " MORE LIKE HAVE YOU EATEN TODAY "

[Verse 1] (I just got your messages) Every morning I wake up to the same sweet sound Picking up my cell phone that's been ringing Wondering what's new? What have I missed? I was offline Anyway I will end up hearing your story How are you doing today? Same questions every single day Please know that I'm not good at asking you Your face lights up laughing from the jokes I've made You would never guess that I am suspicious [Pre-Chorus] (Tick tock, tick tock, time is running out.) (What are you doing now?) I don't know where you are Don't even know your name They think I'm crazy. My heartbeat goes up Words cannot express my love for you [Chorus] Did you get mysterious messages? It's a piece of the puzzle The letters are the only clues to solving Hidden mysteries Did you get mysterious messages? If you can feel the trace, that is me. Call me out I've been watching you from the start

Can we all collectively agree getting a bad ending is scary like it’s SO scary for what? 😰😰😰

Jaehee: *is in otome game/dating sim* Also Jaehee: let’s be more than just friends....... Very good friends!

No one: zen's route: Mc: _breathes_ Jaehee: *nO iT COUld AFFECT ZeN's CarEEr*

I wish this game was popular again :(

Seven years old and this opening is still a genuine marvel of what good editing, art, and music can produce..

Okay, this is going to sound weird, bUT I LOVE HOW THEY BLINK AND HOW THEIR HAIR SWAYS, THE ANIMATION IS SO SMOOTH!!

Mom: Did you eat? Me: ...*Mysterious Messenger intensifies*

When they ask if you have slept or if you ate, I feel like I have to tell them the truth because I feel like they're the kind of friends I've never had.

It’s so crazy it’s been 6 years since this released it still feels like yesterday when I was obsessed with this game

MC: *breathes* Yoosung: “you sound just like Rika!”

Me: Hey gu- All of them: *HAVE YOU EATEN YET?!*

man, the fandom has been quiet *plays Mystic Messenger again*

the only game that i'm emotinally attached to.

My sleep schedule before MM: Going to sleep at 21:00 Waking up at 7:00 My sleep schedule after finding MM: Going to sleep at 23:00 Waking up and going to sleep after the chatroom at 0:00 Waking up and going to sleep after chatroom at 3:00 Waking up at 6:30 to have enough time for the chatroom. Fuck.

Warning from someone who's played through: this game consumes your entire life. Say goodbye to a full night's sleep and your phone's battery and data plan, as well as any little social life you have.

aaa this game is a comfort game for me, all the characters feel so real and whenever i realise its not i get so sad

4 YEARS AND I STILL LOVE YOU MYSME

I had heard that this song was made with 707s point of view and that no matter what route you take he will be In love with you. Here I am crying

Before I played mystic messenger: no I will not play it it's just a dumb dating sim After playing part of it: IF I GIVE LUCIEL MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER WILL I GET FREE HOUR GLASSES

I love how whenever I hear this I just immediately get hit by a wave of nostalgia, of a place I've never been to, with people I've never met has never even existed, with things that never happened. It's bittersweet.

This is insane, it’s been 6 years since I’ve played this game and I still come back to the fandom…

My friend : how long did you sleep? Me : 8 My friend : hours? Me : *minutes*

The game cares if I ate but they don't care if I sleep.

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADAPTED TO AN ANIME!!!!

THIS IS STILL FIRE AFTER YEARS 🔥

Yoosung: Orders pizza at midnight Zen: Drinks beer Jumin: Wine Jaehee: Eats rarely becouse of her job Seven: Honey Buddha chips and dr pepper Mc: **skips a meal** Everyone: WTFF DON'T SKIP MEALS THAT'S UNHEALTHY!!!

I just play Ray's route and I'm like Ray: I sleep 3 hours per day Me: Oh, ARE YOU PLAYING MYSTIC MESSENGER TOO??????????

the fact that mystic messenger is now half a decade old scares me. i refuse to believe its been that long i will not let go of these characters

i get so scared of not deleting this app for the sole reason to not hurt seven's feelings

*"I've been watching you from the start"* AAAaAaaaAaaA-

Mc: Zen come here I need you Zen: Sorry I am busy right now Mc: I haven't eaten yet Zen: OMGOMG IM COMING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

I have come back once again

Pov: It's 2016 and you're up at 3 am to catch a chatroom. Life is good.

Every New player: oh, the story is going to be very dramatic and serious... Day 1: Zen: I am very beautiful for this World! Jumin: My girlfriend is a cat Jaehee: dont fall in love with Zen pls Yoosung: Lolol Seven: HONEY BUDHA CHIPS!

everyone: "HaVe YOu EaTEn tOdAY?" me: *looks at clock* the clock: *3am* also me: "yes, thank you for checking ^^"

"I've been watching you from the start" Rather than 707, isn't it implied to Unknown? Since he was the one who introduced MC to the app and always keeps his eyes on her.

it's been years since I last played but here I am again listening to this while waiting for the game to download, truly a timeless masterpiece

Yoosung: V’s face is 60% bangs and 30% Face Jumin: And The other 10% *lies*

Nobody: The boys including jaehee: *Did You Eat* Me: No Them: *Intense Screaming*

I remember I would lose sleep, chat during classes or had to run away to chat with fictional characters. This was one of the best fixations / addictions I’ve ever had. It gives me a genuine smile on my face when I remember waking up at 3 AM in the morning being so tired just a chat with seven haha. This game will forever be in my heart, this game has helped me through dark times in my life and has helped me through some tough trauma.

Back in 2017 I used to be addicted to this game. Those characters gave me more love and care than my ex boyfriend back then... Fastforward to now, im finishing school, getting ready for real job and soon moving in with my current fiance. Time flies by so fast..

When you can't get a boy to like you in real life so you switch to alternatives...

Don't you just hate it when you fall in love with a game character

I don’t play it as often as most people but I love MM, I somehow can’t bring myself to uninstall them because it always feels like I’ll be abandoning and leaving them behind

not me getting back to this again

I played this game in class, my teacher caught me. In my school, if a teacher catches you on your phone, they will read the texts, and show the video or photo. I was playing this game and she read the texts ;-;

my love for this can't be explained

This song makes me so happy in a way i dont know how to explain,its like addicting to listen to!! I used to play this game a lot 2 years ago!! The whole summer i would wake up early just to "text" them!! Great times man

Idk if im sensetive but everytime i hear this i get filled with so many unknown feelings all at once I really hope the legacy of this game wilk continue forever!! No matter how many well crafted otome games i play there is something so special, relatable, emotion reckoning about MM I hope the server NEVER close And once i get new phone or a good flash i will recored everything to show it to next generations

Okay, can we just talk about how everyone in the rfa has personal stickers to use

No one: Not even a soul: Ray at 3 AM: goOd mOrnIng

This is so nostalgic! I remembered being so obsessed with MysticMessenger back in middle school. I already graduated from high school, times do flies so fast😭

WE GETTIN OUT OF RIKA’S APARTMENT WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🔥

MC: you must miss Rika Yoosung: Rika used to miss Rika too MC: escuse me, WTF?

My friend warned me that this game would be addictive but I told her that I can handle some mobile game, yet here I am 4 years later

when you wanna do everyone's route but the red head hackers has you by the balls

2023 AND IM BACK IN THIS ERA 🎉❤

i love how the comment section is so relatable

this opening literally gives me butterflies

coming back to this game after almost 7 years.. such a comfort.

PLEASE TAKE ME BACK TO MY MYSTIC MESSENGER PHASE, I MISS IT SO SO SO BADLY I STARTED CRYING WHEN I PLAYED THE OPENING AGAIN

I was smiling at my phone (texting Zen 0.0) and my classmate said “what? Got a boyfriend or something?” Huhuhu if only she knew-

yall ever just come back to this game for some reason- it doesnt leave mystic messenger is always a part of you

I uninstalled the game because I got too attached to the character, especially Seven, V, and Jumin. There's some special season for V route back then, and I knew I will falling deeper into this game. I literally crying when the route give me some heartache moments, or if it simply just their bad ending. I even followed some fan blog back then to unlocked all their ending and their route, such a sweet memories. In the end, in 2018 I uninstalled this game for good. But I still remember all of them. They're so precious and my best company in 2016-2018. Thank you Zen, you are my first route I got hooked unintentionally. Thank you Yoosung, even if it takes a lot of patience, you desevre to be happy without Rika. Thank you, Jaehee, you are indeed a strong woman and I can rely so much on you. Thank you Jimin, stuck in your route and bad ending was strangely addictive moments to me, lol. Thank you, Seven. You are truly the hero in this game. I cry so much because of your route. You deserve to be happy, too! And lastly, thank you V. I wish you can have a better days for the one you love. PS: thank you, Cheritz, for making this game ❤

So, fellas did you eat well today?

This game ruined my sleep schedule no regrets

me: i'm going to have a good sleep schedule! *starts playing mystic messenger* also me: i'm going to start staying up til 3am!

it's 2022, does anyone still play? I recently came back bc i miss my bois and baehee

So 4-5 years have passed and honestly tons of shit happened to me in that time span. But I'll never forget the first time I played it, and now I'm playing it again. I'm so attached to them it hurts, watching this makes me feel so happy and sad at the same time what is this deja vu 😭

“What’s your favorite K-pop song?” “It’s complicated.”

Before Mystic Messenger: Ugh, another dating sim. If I'm not interested within the first couple of minutes of playing it, I'm deleting it *Hours Later* *Days Later* *Becomes Sleep Deprived* *Drops everything I'm doing to get to a chat room, like ending a phone call from my friends quickly* *Dies and Wish These Characters were real* *Eyes Burn* *Dark Circles*

replaying this game after 7 years... when it first came out I was 13, just starting high school, now I'm living alone and working full time... it feels like seeing old friends again. I still have my 707 hoodie.

I still can't get over the game, this was my first real simulation game and I instantly fell in love, its such a comfort game for me. You can actually feel the work that the team put into this game. Gosh i just can't stop gushing about it ❤️ (The fact that its cheap as hell and to this day STILL is cheap and gets updated for events and stuff makes it even better)

Jokes aside, this fact that almost everybody in this game have some sort of sad stories/theories reminds me that the saddest one is me, who prefers to take refuge on fictional characters mostly because of loneliness-
