The English subtitles make no sense! Not a little bit! There's a character who might be your brother or a love interest who got a sex change, but I genuinely don't know if this game is that progressive or just has terrible subtitles. I think someone is a cam girl, maybe, or a prostitute. I don't know. Also you have a friend and he's either broken into your house or you've broken into his, but I don't think anybody really cares. Also it just starts! There aren't exactly menus. And it's fast! I've never seen subtitles disappear that quick! It's also fast in that I'm at the end of day 2 in 20 minutes. This game needs time. A lot of time.

This is the first romance FMV i do NOT recommend. This game has many issues let me tell you about them and save you from wasting your money:

1. The English subtitels are bad. Some choices make 0 sense.

2. The game has no storyboard and forces you to replay the entire game just to get a diffrent few second long ending and you can not change any choice and are stuck with what you choose.

3. The game has a gay male character that no matter how hard you try you can not avoid entirely. The game FORCES you to have interactions with him if you want to or not. Disgusting.

4. The game has no replayability as everything will be the same. You will not visit diffrent locations. There are only minor dialogue changes and the endings when you chosoe a girl are only a few seconds long and therefore not fullfilling.

5. The game is short you can finish a run in roughly 1.5 hours.

6. The video quality is not the best.

7. Hunting down achievements is tedious. Not only do you not have a storyboard but also the skippable scenes take a few seconds to skip and to laod so it takes quite some time just to skip and click your way through the game.

The story is structured always the same you chat with 2 people on your phone by exchanging 2 messages and then you meet up with the one for whom you choose the heart option. You then have 3 interactions with them where you choose from 3 answers each time. After that you go back to your phone repeat till you get forced to meet up with the gay character at least 2 times and then choose one ending.

Another playthrough will NOT allow you to get more scenes with any of the girls only a few seconds of an ending.


Positive:

Xu Xuanxuan and Lian Meng are very cute. I also like Lin Wan and i am sure some people will prefer the teacher though i think she is bland and not as good as the mature choice in other games.


Even as a hardcore FMV fan i can not recommend this game. Only buy it if you are bored and finished all other FMV games you can get your hands on.

The game has promise at a basic level, but the English translations are absolutely horrific. It's like walking through a minefield of obscure choices that don't help you pick a particular path, either over the phone or in person. So, I winged it through one session, made many mistakes, and plugged along anyway.

MysteryCrown wishes you all the best in the Chinese new year

MysteryCrown FMV Studio would like to express our deepest gratitude for your long-term companionship and support. It has been over two years since the launch of our first FVM, 'Try and love', on January 25, 2024.As a small-budget studio, our productions cannot compete with million-dollar projects in terms of scale or polish. However, over these two years, we have remained committed to our horror roots with titles like 'Back','UndeadReal:Ego',‘Back2’,‘Back 3', while also daring to explore new genres (Worthy or not) and innovative gameplay mechanics (Pact between us). Regardless of the outcomes, we are truly thankful for your tolerance and support for all our products.In the past year, to ensure the studio's survival, we ventured into secondary creations (such as 'Mouringwood Lodge' series and 'Invisible us') and even developed adaptations based on film and television content ('Mute'). Looking ahead to the coming year, we will continue to adapt more AI-generated content to keep the lights on. We consider it a great privilege to have walked this path with you, and we thank you for your understanding.As a humble game developer, I possess no extraordinary talents. My greatest strength, perhaps, is honesty. Thank you for embracing that honesty.As we step into the new year, we wish each and every one of you good health and success in all your endeavors.To all new friends who haven't joined yet, we warmly invite you to our official QQ group to connect and share your thoughts.Official QQ Group ID: 983536806

Announcement the Release of "The invisible Us"

199 days ago
Dear bros who have long supported our studio, our new adapted product, "The invisible Us," releasedSimilarly, as an adapted product, it does not have a branching structure or a true multiple-ending setup. Bros who are concerned about this should consider carefully before purchasing.The pacing of this product is also relatively slow, focusing mainly on storytelling. There are no jump scares or horror elements, so those who are drawn to our studio for its horror FMV should also think twice before buying.However, because it deals with a relatively uncommon theme, my experience while playing it felt quite different. Let me share some specific feelings.As a piece of content addressing anti-school bullying, it felt quite heavy at times, and occasionally even stirred up some anger. It’s not exactly a joyful gaming experience, which makes me wonder—does this contradict the fundamental purpose of games, which is to bring happiness? I’m not sure, but after playing this game, it did evoke some memories, including various news reports about school bullying. Since I have a child, after finishing the game, I told them that if they ever encounter any form of bullying at school, they must inform their teacher and me immediately. This includes speaking up if they see other students being bullied. I believe this might be the very significance of this game’s existence—to raise awareness among players and alert them to similar incidents around them, thereby preventing even one real-life case of school bullying. That, in itself, would be an incredibly meaningful achievement.Additionally, the game touches on issues related to dysfunctional families. While it may come across as somewhat preachy—perhaps not executed in the most subtle way—it is true that many bullies’ behavioral roots can be traced back to their family environments. After playing the game, I reflected on my own child’s family background (which, of course, involves me) and whether it might have a negative impact on them. It...
