Missed messages

Missed messages is a short narrative game that focuses on communication, relationships and the uncomfortable gaps that can appear between people. Rather than relying on traditional action mechanics, it presents its story through messages and interactions, allowing the player to piece together what is happening from fragments of conversation. The minimalist approach works well because it puts the emphasis firmly on the characters and their emotions. It is the sort of experience that can be completed relatively quickly but may leave you thinking about it afterward, which is arguably a better use of your time than spending three hours shooting identical monsters. If you enjoy personal, story-driven indie games, this small project offers an intimate change of pace.
