133 | Mystic Messenger: The Secret Endings, Seven's Valentine's After Story, & more

► Note: There are multiple parts to this entry, but they’re pretty much all about Mystic Messenger. So if you don’t care about this game, feel free to skip over this entry entirely. I just had a whole lot to say, and it was easier to split it up into parts.

► So, I’ve done all the secret endings now, and… wow. Wow. What a ride. It was… emotionally draining, to be perfectly honest, but mostly worth it at the end? ( cut for major spoilers for both after endings )

► Here, have some meta about the overall themes of Mystic Messenger. This was originally part of the above write-up, but then I decided that I didn’t want it to get buried with everything else that I wrote, if only so that I can find it more easily in the future.
( spoilers for the entire game )

► After beating the game, I finally felt free to really dive into the guide books/character information books that came with my VIP package. ( cut for guide spoilers? assuming that that’s even a thing )

► Finally, at the end of last night I was in the mood for something sweeter after all of the angst of the secret endings, so I decided to play Seven’s Valentine After Story. This was a great decision; his was easily the best of the three I’ve played so far! ( cut for spoilers )

Mystic Messenger Post Index

Feel free to ignore this! This came about mostly because of my organizational tendencies— I’ve made a lot of Mystic Messenger posts at this point, and I decided that I’d like to have an index to quickly help me find what I wanted to look back on.

Character routes are listed in the order in which I played them.
