***Mystic Islands*** (***Majin Islands*** in Japanese) is the spin-off game of *Mystic Mansion* and is developed by the same company, Fundoshi Parade.

It is a match-3 game that released on August 14, 2022 that appears to take place in a parallel universe to the *Mystic Mansion* story.

The game can be played in either English or Japanese and has over two thousand different levels and is a more modernized version of its predecessor, *Mystic Mansion*.

## Description

You're unexpectedly approached by a mysterious cat-like figure called Meowlin.

"Greetings, welcome to the Mystic Islands. I'm sure you will find everything you're looking for here. Make yourself at home. Hehehe…"

You arrive on a dilapidated island.

"I heard someone was coming to work part-time. It's you, right? The name's Purrcy. I'm the manager of the Mystic Islands."

Before you appears a cute kitten-like figure named Purrcy.

"Your job is easy! You've just gotta renovate this island. If you don't do your job well, you can't go back alive. Hehehe…"

Who is this mysterious Meowlin and his (her?) cute manager Purrcy? What are the strange, dilapidated islands?

Unravel the mysteries of Mystic Islands, meet cute characters, and experience an entertaining story full of dark humor and touching episodes!

## Gameplay

The player is a human who is transported to the land of mythical creatures wherein no other humans exist in.

The player is then invited by Meowlin to work for him in repairing the group of deserted islands he owns, where the player, with the help of Purrcy, help tend to clients to.

The player’s job is to complete a series of match-3 puzzles in order to help renovate each of the islands and solve each of its clients' conflicts.

### Game Differences

Despite both being match-3 games having the same player character, Purrcy, and Meowlin, as well as similar mechanics, the game has a handful of differences that distinguish it from its predecessor.

* The furniture are not customizable, thus, they only have one default option.
* The islands themselves are zoomed out.
* The level's difficulty is shown in the requirement border of each stage (Normal/Bonus levels have brown requirement borders, Hard levels with red, and Super Hard with violet).
	+ The levels' names were changed from Normal, Difficult, and Super Difficult in *Mystic Mansion* to Normal, Hard, and Super Hard and addition of Bonus levels.
	+ Increase of the puzzle difficulty regardless of category.
	+ Addition of the option to play puzzles in 1.5x faster speed by watching an ad video.
	+ Purrcy  accompanies the player during the stages/levels and reacts to their every move.
* Some old items the game shares with *Mystic Mansion* having redesigns and some having new or added mechanics.
	+ Fireworks getting two subvariants and a slight redesign.
	+ Puzzle Pieces getting entirely new redesigns.
	+ Hammers have a redesign.
	+ The Wheel Of Fortune Lottery spinning slightly faster and having slightly different rewards from the Support Items pool.
	+ Rainbow Bombs now have an added glowing effect in a circular pattern.
	+ Bombs sharing the same but smaller combo result as Rainbow Bombs when exchanged places with another Bomb (i.e. Bomb x Bomb, Rainbow Bomb x Rainbow Bomb), amongst other Support Item combos.
	+ Purrcy and Meowlin getting outfits rather than being "naked" unlike in *Mystic Mansion* and the *Just Kill Me* games.
	+ The addition of a new event that boosts the chances of getting twice the amount of prizes per levels when the player meets the correct requirements.
	+ The addition of Teams and Team chat function, which lets the player communicate with other players and help each other by donating Hearts, something that is not possible in Mystic Mansion.
* The removal of the Rainbow Bomb gauge from Mystic Mansion, where the player can get a Rainbow Bomb when triggering enough explosive Support Items.
* The removal of the Story version of the "Memories" archive of Mystic Mansion, replacing it with the "Photo Album" version in Mystic Islands.
* *Mystic Islands* having entire islands to renovate rather than rooms that take up an entire floor of the *Mystic Mansion*.
* The addition of the Special Games mini game.
* New objects exclusive to *Mystic Islands* are added to the game.

## Trivia

* The original Japanese name of this game, as well as its predecessor, *Majin Mansion/Majin Islands*, literally translates to "Demon God Mansion/Demon God Islands", being named after Meowlin's original Japanese name, *Majin*, which is also a nod to Meowlin's role in the *Just Kill Me* games.
* *Mystic Islands* is, so far, the first and only Fundoshi Parade game wherein one of the icons the game uses on the Play Store/ App Store slightly varies between the global and original Japanese server. In this case, the Japanese server's icon has a blue background while global has yellow.
* Some of the pop-up notifications for the game are left untranslated from the original Japanese text.
* When asked about the removal of customization of furniture (a feature highly favored by the *Mystic Mansion* players), Pechisuke reveals how they decided to copy other "more popular" match-3 games' in which they share similar playstyles but also lacked the customization of furniture, with one of the games he notes as references being *Royal Match*.
* September 2023 is, so far, the first and only month to only have one purchasable Dress-up bundle pack for Purrcy as opposed to the two per month after the February 2023 update.
