Free theme - Rambling about an otome game

To be honest, when a free theme appears I need to have a little time before putting my thoughts on paper (or, in this case, write something that could at least be interesting for you).

 And I had two ideas, I could talk about music and a new band I found out about the weekend, or I could talk about a game that I've been playing for three months by now.

 I Decided to do the second one, Because is kind of an unknown topic and I've only seen a very few people playing the game (but if you're interested in the music band I found out the weekend, it's "Kodaline" and The video that captured me was "All I have part 2").

 So, getting back to the subject, the game is an "otome" platform for cell phones. For those who are not familiar with the term, an "otome" is a dating game developed mostly by Japanese companies.

 Mystic Messenger starts with the fact that you go to a hypothetical apartment that contains classified information, with the excuse to contact the owner of a cellphone. When you enter the "apartment", you also enter a chatroom in the app where the main characters interact. Then you start chatting with them, different themed chatrooms will lead you to a character's route and different endings. Each character has 3 bad endings, a normal ending AND a good ending, that leads you to have special photographs of your favorite character and stuff (and, of course, a relationship, with a fictional character).

 Why did I want to talk about a "silly" topic like this "? Because the game was developed by a korean company, Cheritz, and the game is avaible in just two languages, korean and english; so it's a good opportunity to practice the understanding of the grammar of the language and learn new colloquial ways to chat with other people. Also, next week they are going to open a new route of an adorable and loving character and that got me a bit hyped up haha.

 But, aside that introduction, what amazed me the most of the game was the interaction with us, the player, thought the game. The characters call you after certain chatrooms, send you texts to get your attention and (depending on the answer you gave them) this will lead you to any of the possible endings. You get to know more of all the characters while playing all the routes, and I have to say that route of 10-11 days, with 5 main characters, is not enough to get to know the complex background in each one of them.

 I have to warn you that it consumes a lot of daily time to participate in MOST of the chatrooms (10-15 min each chatroom chatrooms and 10.11 each day ...) and you May even suffer of sleep deprivation in order to Participate in all Chatrooms (it's not that I did that ... Not at all ... hahahahaha ...)

 Enjoy and I let you see some examples of the dynamics in the game!

A City You Would Like To Visit - Moscow

Image
One of the cities I certainly want to get to know is Moscow. Even when I’m highly eager to get to travel to Japan and live there for a couple months, I’m not interested to live in Russia, so if would go, I'll just go to know the places and the architecture. One thing that I learned after my scholarship abroad in Spain was to get lost in the city and prove all the meals you can, because, if you’re not gonna return soon to the city, or you’re planning to visit the city just once in your life, you have to live all the experiences you can while you’re there; that’s why most of the trips are really exhausting, but at the same time fulfilling to the soul. Of course, that means I have to earn a lot of money to get there and prove/taste all the things I can haha. But also, I like to draw some special scenarios I see. I’m practicing my watercolors skills to improve and actually it could take less time than I can right now to do a drawing of a building, an open space, a sunset that it...

A friend

Image
To talk about lasting friendship at our age is kind of hard to think for me right now. We are young, and most of my life I’ve lived far away from my friend’s houses, so it was hard to spend meaningful time with them out of high school. Now that I moved to the capital, it’s the inverse; I spend more time with friends, but less time with family. Ah, a never ending dilemma. So, if I’m going to talk about a friend I would like to talk about Vania. We’ve known each other since we were 14 years old (that’s about 8 years of friendship) and we have stayed in each other houses in different situations. For me, someone whose house has always been in other location, having someone who went to visit me and my family was very touching. We became friends, if I’m not wrong, because we used to take the bus together and we sit next to each other the first day of school, and she was new in the classroom.  Our tastes vary a lot from back then, but we’ve managed to spend time watching each ot...

A family photograph

Image
This photo was taken one year and half ago. It was my first travel abroad, I earnt an international scholarship to Spain in 2015, and the travel was set for January 21th, 2016. We were in the International Airport. It was my first time, and, if I have to be honest, I cried a lot saying goodbye for such long time (6 months, wich, now in retrospective, doesn't seem that much) and being afraid that an accident might happen in the flight and I end up dying in the middle of the sea. From left to right, my grandma is the little old lady. I'm in the middle, the tallest one in the family. Then, there's my little sister, who's being held by the shoulders by my mother, the last one. This is actually one of the few photos we have, the four of us together. We don't take that much pictures, as groups, if I'm honest. It's probably in this situations, where something important happen, that we dare to took a photography. Realizing this. I guess I will talk to this ...
