About Missing Pieces

✦ AI summary

Missing Pieces follows a stranded scientist on an alien world who must decipher cryptic languages, unlock ancient artifacts, and solve culture-rooted puzzles to repair their crashed capsule and escape. What sets it apart is its rich narrative weaving personal discovery and meaningful relationships with a vibrant cast of characters, challenging whether returning home is truly what you want.

Missing Pieces is a story-driven adventure in a vibrant alien world, full of hidden secrets, a plethora of languages and a sparkling cast of characters: lovable rogues, heartbroken families, and questionable allies. Find friendship and love, learn about yourself and discover who you really are!

A brilliant scientist travels to an alien planet in a galaxy far away. What initially begins as a journey for a better life quickly turns into a nightmare of challenges. Stranded on an unfamiliar planet, lost and misunderstood, you yearn to return home. If only your capsule hadn’t crashed when it arrived …

The compelling narrative is interwoven with puzzles rooted in the alien cultures around you: deciphering cryptic alien languages, harnessing the power of alien artifacts, both ancient and new, and learning to play the instrument of beings with no discernible mouths or limbs.

If only you had all the missing pieces to fix your capsule, you could finally be on your way home. But will that be your fulfillment?

Not sure if there will ever be another chapter released, but I enjoyed my time with this unfinished story nonetheless. The illustrations are lovely, the music is pleasant and I enjoyed the mini games (although the music one was quite hard).

I almost had an aneurysm trying to get that achievement for the instruments. Worst possible key binding for a rhythm game, and then there is no rhythm to follow, it is just hand eye coordination but that sucks when they are all pushed together on the left side. No idea who thought it was smart to put a two hand activity on ASDF. Sucked the joy out of me. I have never seen something like this. I also remember the other achievements being terrible to get, the story is mid and the rest is just very frustrating, not even just for achievement hunters.

The art work is very solid, I find it lovely. The music is very soothing. The story is intriguing and I want to know more. This is only chapter 1 and when you finish it say there are more chapters to come.... but this was released in October 2022 and it's almost April 2025 now. So I guess the real meaning of it being title 'Missing Pieces' is that it's missing the rest of the game. Their Instagram only has 4 posts. Their YouTube channel only has 4 videos from 2 years ago. I'm pretty sure this game has been abandoned which is sad.

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
