I love Mystic Messenger and I always wanted to draw the MC´s with their partners in my playthroughs <3 (or the partner they would get IF they had a route…Yeah, I´m looking at you Vanderwood!)

Enjoy!

Money Jar and Illusion of Choice

aka Story Jar by NTT Solmare and Love Choice by Voltage Inc. Since I haven’t been around much the last few weeks and because I got an ask about it I decided to look at these new ways to “enjoy” Otome games. I already vented about Money-… I mean Love Jar yesterday, and while Voltage isn’t quite as hardcode (yet) it still should be talked about.

I’ll start with Masquerade Kiss, Voltage’s new game which introduces Love Choice as a way to read Main Stories. Apparently the only way for future releases. Though it doesn’t matter much where I start since both of these new “systems” have a lot in common. This is how the Love 365 app greets you currently.

FOR FREE OMG. However as you know nothing in life is free, if you look closely you’ll see “Use hearts to read without wait times ♪”. So literally in the same breath they tell you that this new system is shit. We’ll take a more in-depth look at those wait times later because they play a big role for this entire new system, including the situation in Story Jar. To put the second part into words that aren’t sugar coated “Use money to deepen your affection! If you want to see CG’s and get a satisfactory ending you had better open that wallet of yours cause those are behind a paywall♪“. Voltage is trying to be charming about this but the bottom line is: without money you get the short end of the stick. Which isn’t all bad or uncommon. They are a company so obviously they have to make money. But they’ve come up with quite a cunning way to do just that.

CELEBRATION! NOW OR NEVER! READ THE WHOLE STORY WITHOUT WAITING!!! WHAT A NEW AND REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPT?! HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE? Yes. That’s the old system we’ve had until now. Where you pay 4€ once and own the entire thing to read at your own pace and revisit as often as you’d like. I honestly couldn’t help but scoff when this screen showed up as I was playing. 

Which brought me to my first question. Why don’t they simply let us consumers choose between buying the entire thing and this “f2p” version? It’s the same simple answer for all questions related to this topic:  💰 💰 💰

The elaborate explanation is that obviously no one would touch this “f2p” version unless they’re forced to. As stated above stories used to be 4€. However Love Choice is much more expensive.

This part made me especially sick. They know exactly that for a lot of us Otoge is something we use to treat ourselves. These sugar coated words “special” “exciting outcomes” “spicy ending” aim exactly for that. You’re already here, surely you don’t want to miss this super special spicy scintillating sexy breathtaking ending.

However that’s not even the worst part yet. One choice costs 5 hearts which is not too bad right? Too good to be true almost, which is exactly what’s happening here. As you progress the amount of hearts needed steadily increases. The biggest amount one choice costs is 26 hearts.

That singular choice plus CG costs almost as much as an entire route with all CG’s etc. used to cost (400 Coins).

Granted as you can see above you “only” need 12 points to get the super special spicy scintillating sexy breathtaking ending. Which means you don’t always have to select the ~special choice~. However the amount of points you get per special choice is different each time (ranging from 1pt to 3pts), there’s no other way to earn them. So unless you use a Walkthrough you’re grasping at straws. Like here, you’ll get a CG sure but only 1pt. In theory a choice with 3pts is more lucrative but who knows when one of those might show up.

Ultimately guessing whether the money you’ve invested so far will be enough to get you that desired ending might be more thrilling than Eisuke 2.0 trying to shove his tongue into your mouth.

[MM] RFA-Themed Cafe Event Hosted in Hongdae, Seoul!

Hello, this is Cheritz! (๑>ᴗ<๑)

We made an announcement quite recently about a notice regarding our donation. Thanks to you, we were able to share and spread happiness to many institutions in need!

Today, we have yet another special announcement about something made possible through the love you have given us. (ㆁᴗㆁ✿) To give back the love we have received, we had decided to come up with an event we could host here in Korea.

Fortunately!! 

As we were brainstorming, a cafe located in Hongdae, Seoul, called Hongdae Dungeon, offered us a helping hand in hosting an official offline event!

How do you guys feel about visiting Hongdae, Seoul, on the New Year?

Because…

For 8 weeks, from the 1st of January to the 24th of February, 

Mystic Messenger’s members will be hosting the      RFA-themed cafe!!!

This wouldn’t have been made possible if we hadn’t been sponsored by Jumin Han of C&R (although the whole thing had started off from 707’s prank) and the support from Hongdae Dungeon. *If you’re curious about the hidden story behind Jumin Han and 707, check out the last bit of this notice!

Now! Please hold on to your heart and scroll down the rest of this announcement and see what special events and merchandise we have prepared for this event!!

Come and see what merchandise we have brought from across the sea in celebration of the RFA-themed cafe event!

If you visit the themed cafe upon the beginning of the New Year, you’ll get to find the Taiwanese versions of Mystic Messenger’s merchandise. You can find them only at Hongdae Dungeon, and unfortunately these merchandise won’t be available for online purchase. Please check our upcoming notice for the details on these merchandise!

We also bring you the official merchandise we’ve prepared, available both on the Cheritz Market and at Hongdae Dungeon!

What new official merchandise are available in celebration of the RFA-themed cafe event?

The members of the RFA have gathered at Hongdae Dungeon! We have brought small blankets with the scenery that will warm your heart.

*This image will be revealed on the 31st of December. You can purchase this blanket at Hongdae Dungeon or on Cheritz Market starting from 1st of January.

Have you ever wished you could keep the chat bubbles the characters use on the messenger? We have brought Sticky Notes based on the characters’ chat bubbles for you!

The Sticky Notes will be available for purchase online/offline starting mid-January.

Now let’s move onto checking out the events we have planned for you to enjoy!

Recommended character menus you can find only at the RFA-themed cafe!

Each of the RFA’s members recommended a menu for the cafe. ★You will receive a luncheon mat or coaster belonging to each character, corresponding to the menu you have ordered.

The members will be awaiting your arrival at the cafe! Are you perhaps in doubt as to choosing which week you should drop by the cafe?

Well, please remember that the members will be taking turns running the RFA-themed cafe!

The weekly schedules are as listed below.

Oh…? Are you a VIP member by any chance?

Or are you planning to purchase the VIP package?

We have prepared a special opportunity for you to receive the RFA mug, which will be used when serving drinks at Hongdae Dungeon, and the autographed paper that contains the signatures of all the voice actors and the Cheritz team’s staff!

If you have a VIP card, come and participate in this event!

Hmm… Did you say you can’t make it to the cafe? :’(

Unfortunately, we cannot deliver the menus to your home… :(

However! The blanket and the sticky notes will be available for purchase globally through Cheritz Market, and you will also be able to participate in the Show Us Your Merch! event, which will be held both offline and online, so make sure to try it!

Last but not least… Please also remember to access the game as well.

In the special intro chat you can check out this Christmas on the 24th and the 25th of December, you will be able to find out the story behind the hosting of this RFA-themed cafe! There may also be some episodes related to the cafe during the event!

And that is all!

We understand that many of you living overseas won’t be able to make it. :’( However, for those of you who can make it, we would like you to refer to this announcement, and we hope that you will make many happy memories with us!

We will also try our best to keep those of you who cannot make it posted with the latest update!

We’d like all of you to know that we are always appreciative of the love and support you have sent towards Mystic Messenger and the RFA!! See you soon!

Thank you.

Best, Cheritz
