About Missing Time

✦ AI summary

Missing Time is a story-driven visual novel where you return to your childhood town and uncover dark mysteries involving people you know, forced to choose between blissful ignorance or dangerous investigation. With over 175,000 words, multiple character routes, and branching endings, it blends horror and emotional storytelling as your choices determine whether these cases define or destroy you.

“We all have a little darkness inside of us.”

It’s always so easy to bury secrets in small towns. Especially when the authority turns a blind eye. Just as you moved back to your childhood town, an unfortunate chain of events leads you to a series of mysterious cases buried away by the locals. Your friends seem just as clueless as you are … Or are they? Guided by only the vaguest clues and instinct, your task is to find the missing pieces of bizarre cases that seem to involve more and more people you know as you go along. As time progresses, you must choose: Either to stay ignorant, enjoy your last year of High School blissfully and hope for the best, or dive head-first into detective mode and claw your way out.

Missing Time is all about making connections between the most important details of your life, and to never miss any moment that can define or destroy memories that will follow you always. Heavily story-driven, Missing Time is a beautiful concoction of horror and utsuge, that will surely leave an impression no matter the decision you make.

Features:

  • 175,000+ words (15-25 hours)
  • 110+ BGs and 25+ CGs
  • 4 character routes and 8+ endings
  • 1 secret route

Characters


Chiharu Ichihara
Your shy and bubbly childhood friend. Despite being born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she is the kindest and most caring person you have ever met. Your shared past strengthens your bond, and you know she would always be there for you, just as you will always be there to comfort her.

Emiri Onishi
Komachi High’s Ice Queen and dutiful Priestess. As the town of Komachi was built upon traditions, Emiri became one of their figureheads the moment she inherited her family’s shrine. Quiet and serious, Emiri always puts her responsibility above everything and everyone else.

Shizuyo Onishi
Twin sister to the fabled Emiri Onishi. Friendly and mischievous, Shizuyo tends to draw attention to herself, which she absolutely enjoys. You can even say she is the mirror image of her sister, in personalities and in attitudes.

Ember Honoyasei
President of the Occult Club. Boisterous, opinionated and headstrong, Ember has a reputation of being a delinquent despite her position. She is incredibly passionate about the mysteries surrounding Komachi, and is hell-bent on bringing these cases to light, no matter the obstacle.

I want my time back! You play the game and do what seems logical and you get killed. You then play the game and make a few different choices and you get killed in a different way. There are no clues in the first play through that you can pick up on to have a good ending. You need to play it a whole bunch of times or use a walk through to get to the good endings. My time is too valuable to play "guess what I am thinking" with the author. So keep my money but i want MY TIME BACK!!!!!!

It's times like these where I miss star rating systems. A binary choice of recommendation just doesn't cut it sometimes. If you ask me if I recommend this VN, it's a clear "Eh, maybe." So, let's go into some detail. [h2]Story[/h2] + The mystery is pretty well done, I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's nothing too original, but I enjoy stories like these. + I also like how the VN shows different sides to the same story in the different routes. - While the first half of the routes do a great job at building tension, the second half usually fails to do so. The story is over mere minutes after the plot twist has been revealed. - After reading one or two routes, the rest of them barely contain any more surprises. It's just the same thing happening in different settings. - Even having read all routes, the real nature of the mystery is only revealed on a superficial level, leaving open quite a few questions. This may be intentional, but it leaves a bad aftertaste. [h2]Characters[/h2] + The characters have unique personalities and are quite likable. Of course, you got your typical stereotypes, but they're well executed. - Unfortunately, the VN doesn't take the time to build an actual connecti…

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

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.
