Another Story

***SPOILERS AHEAD, READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!***

If you haven't played Mystic Messenger completely, you might read something that will reveal to you the complete story of the game. So please pay attention!

**Another Story** is a mode in Mystic Messenger, which was released on September 8, 2017/2017.09.08 for Android users and a few days later for IOS users. It is one of the three modes available in Mystic Messenger, the others being Casual Story and Deep Story. It costs 550 HG to fully unlock the mode; costing 300 to unlock V's route and 250 to unlock Ray's route.

Unlike in Casual and Deep Story modes, outgoing phone calls cost 10 hourglasses and missed chat rooms cost 15 hourglasses to play in Another Story. The story also takes place 6 months after Rika's "suicide" rather than a year and a half later.

The only romanceable characters are V and Ray/Saeran. Originally, it was only V who was romanceable, however, Ray's route was released on January 31, 2018/2018.01.31.

## Contents

This Route contains the following contents:

1. 11 days of playtime
2. 80 CGs
3. 7 different Endings
4. Calls to V
5. Fully voiced Story Modes and Calls
6. New Message and Phone Call Ringtones added
7. V Route Free Talk added.

## Trivia

* Before the new mode's reveal in the app, Cheritz had remained secretive about it's development other than a post on Tumblr that showcased a mysterious character alongside a new UI design (that has since been released in 1.7.8). On August 22, 2017, Cheritz uploaded the Opening Video and the mysterious character is revealed as Unknown.
* Cheritz has since revealed that Another Story is indeed a story about V, in which he is the main character, and takes place over a course of 11 days. Both V and Rika's VA sing an original song for the new mode.
* The route was supposed to be released August 2017 / 2017.08 but it was postponed another month due to Cheritz needing more time.
* On a tumblr post, the top suggestion for Mystic Messenger is a new route for V or Unknown.
* Ray/Saeran's route was released on January 2018 / 2018.01
Hourglasses

**Hourglasses** (shortened as HG) are considered the in-game currency of *Mystic Messenger* that the player can acquire either for free in-game or through in-game purchasing. While they are not necessary to progress, as you can go through the Casual Story perfectly fine without them, they can be very helpful. However, they are necessary to unlock the Deep Story, Another Story, After Endings of the characters, and more extra content.

Prices for hourglasses will vary from country to country depending on the country's exchange rate with South Korea.

Deep Story

***SPOILERS AHEAD, READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!***

If you haven't played Mystic Messenger completely, you might read something that will reveal to you the complete story of the game. So please pay attention!

**Deep Story** is one out of the three modes available in Mystic Messenger, the other two being Casual Story and Another Story. Compared to Casual Story, Deep Story focuses more heavily on plot details.

Since it requires 200 hourglasses to unlock Deep Story mode, it is highly recommended for players to unlock all three routes available in Casual Story first before proceeding to Deep Story.

Through Deep Story, the player will be able to obtain the routes of 707 and Jumin Han depending on their responses in the chatrooms during the first four days of the game.

Because of this, both of them are not romanceable in Casual Story mode despite the player being able to obtain their hearts in Casual Story. Likewise, Yoosung, Zen and Jaehee will not be romanceable in Deep Story; V and Ray hearts will also be unobtainable in Deep Story.

## Deep Story: Bad Ending

If the player misses too many chats, or obtained only Yoosung / Zen / Jaehee Kang's hearts, or did not obtain enough hearts of either one of the two to get a route by Day 5, the player will obtain a bad ending at the start of Day 5.

Prior to Day 5, V informs Seven and the player that he will be taking a trip a week before the party's set date. Seven tells V that he installed a bug detector on his phone, where a red light on the phone will shine if a bugged call is detected. Right after the two log off after discussing the party, Unknown, who had hacked into the chat room unnoticed, suddenly leaves a threat.

At midnight, V is in the mountains stargazing, reminiscing about Rika. He vows to be with her soon, and his thoughts are cut short when Unknown approaches him. Unknown had rummaged through V's luggage in his car, suspicious of his intentions. He suspects that V had planned on investigating the cause of why the player joined the messenger, and threatens him not to sabotage his group else he will plan a "surprise" for RFA, especially Seven. He then captures V and holds him hostage.

At Seven's house, while Vanderwood is cleaning, Seven is making homemade Honey Buddha Chips. He receives a call from V's phone, but discovers the call is bugged and that it is Unknown who is calling. At 1 AM, he quickly goes on the messenger to warn the player to leave Rika's apartment as soon as possible because the bomb inside will detonate at any moment. As for Seven, he resolves to save V and plans on calling Jumin to send bodyguards to protect the rest of the members. Because of the sudden emergency, RFA is unable to host the party.

The player is confused, but Seven hastily reveals that there is a "force" targeting the documents in Rika's apartment and V, the leader of RFA. Furthermore, RFA is hiding secrets that he feels the player is better off not knowing, and he tells the player not to involve herself in the organization anymore for the sake of her safety. As the player and Seven exchange farewells, the player is unregistered from the messenger.

Approximately 20 years ago, Saejoong Choi (a political figure) had a sexual relationship out of wedlock with a woman (dubbed 'Mother Choi') for an unknown length of time - who was possibly his mistress. This bore two illegitimate sons: Saeyoung and Saeran.

When Saejoong was made aware of their existence, he feared for his reputation as children born out of wedlock were viewed negatively by society. Out of his extreme paranoia, he attempted to kidnap them at a young age. However Mother Choi had blackmailed him for money in order to survive and 'look after' her two sons.

Mother Choi and her sons lived in a small, shambolic house. The blackmail money mostly paid for medicine, alcohol and food. She regularly beat, starved and tied up both Saeyoung and more severely Saeran due to his sickly appearance. They were scared into keeping silent by the fear of their father and his power.

Saeyoung was given more freedom as the elder son to buy groceries, he used this to regularly visit the local church where he met V.

## Trivia

* Choi is one of the most common surnames in Korea and thus many characters share the same name, but are unrelated.
	+ this includes: Glam Choi, Sarah Choi, and Kyungju Choi

## Lyrics

* English (Official ver.)
* Korean

Waded through brilliant light breaking the morning

Glided over the starlight illurning the evening

Then I was met with clouds yet to be adventured

And I was lost with my directions unanswered

I made loneliness my makeshift friend

And I unraveled heaven’s map

Round and round the compass ran, and it whispered to me

North is where you go

Where your childhood dream brushed away is where you belong

South is where you go

Where your first loss of love befell is where you belong

West is where you go

There I can see you waiting long

Then I stopped

From here and on

No more can I go

Your message awakening the morning

Our calls lightened the evening

My head would feel this happiness is mirage of thin air

My steps would refuse to take me there

I made agony my momentary friend

And I rewound back to my past

Round and round the compass ran, and it whispered to me

* Repeat

I raced endlessly south

To see how bad it hurts, but you know what...?

The sun was but an empty globe

The compass was but within me all along. Oh-

North is where you go

Where you sealed your childhood trauma is where you belong

South is where you go

Where your past love and obsession lIe is where you belong

West is where you go

There you’re still waiting long

Then I stopped

From here and on

To you is where I go

早晨，絢麗的光芒褪去

星光照耀著夜晚

然後我遇到了尚未冒險的雲

我迷失了方向，沒有得到答案

我讓我的臨時朋友寂寞

我解開了天堂的地圖

羅盤轉了一圈，然後低聲說道

對我來說

北方是你去的地方

你兒時的夢想被拂去的地方就在哪裡

你屬於

南方是你去的地方

你第一次失去愛情的地方就在哪裡

你屬於

西方是你去的地方

在那裡，我可以看到你等待很久

然後我停了下來

從這裡開始

我不能再去了

你的消息在早上醒來

我們的電話在晚上減輕了

我的頭腦會覺得這種幸福是空氣中的海市蜃樓

我的步驟會拒絕把我帶到那裡

我讓我的瞬間朋友痛苦不堪

我重新回到過去

羅盤轉了一圈又一圈，

它低聲對我說

* 重複

我無休止地向南跑

看它有多痛。但是你知道什麼......？

太陽只是空球

指南針一直在我心中。哦-

北方是你去的地方

你在哪裡密封你的童年

創傷是你所屬的地方

南方是你去的地方

你過去的愛情和

痴迷謊言是你所屬的地方

西方是你去的地方

在那裡你還在等待很長時間

然後我停了下來

從這裡開始

你走的是我

If you haven't played Mystic Messenger completely, you might read something that will reveal to you the complete story of the game. So please pay attention!

**Hearts** are considered the secondary in-game currency in *Mystic Messenger*.

Throughout the game, the player can collect hearts by participating in the chatrooms, messages, some visual novels, and 707's spaceship. Hearts can come in eight different colours, with seven of each color symbolizing a different character. Depending on the player's choices, they will get hearts of different colors. Hearts are necessary for making important progress in-game, with regard to obtaining routes and specific endings.

## Gameplay

If you give an answer in a chat or a text message, hearts in different colours may fly out, which goes off as a sign that the player has given an answer in favour of a certain character. It is important to note the color of the hearts because it determines which route you will get during the first four days of gameplay.

In Casual Story, the player should collect either yellow, grey, or green hearts in order to make important progress - especially in the first four days of gameplay as this would determine the route the player will obtain at the game branch on Day 4. The player may collect red or purple hearts as well, but too many will change the game progress and may result in the Casual Story Bad Ending instead.

In Deep Story the player should collect either red or purple hearts in order to make important progress - especially in the first four days of gameplay as this would determine the route the player will obtain at the game branch on Day 4. The player may collect yellow, green or grey hearts as well, but too many will change the game progress and may result in the Deep Story Bad Ending instead.

In Another Story the player should collect either teal or magenta hearts in order to make important progress - especially in the first four days of gameplay as this would determine the route the player will obtain at the game branch on Day 4. The player may collect yellow, green, grey, red, or purple hearts as well, but too many will change the game progress and may result in Another Story Bad Ending instead.

## Exchanging

The player can choose to trade 100 hearts for one hourglass in the shop.

## Broken Hearts

During a chat, if the player chooses answers that go against the values of certain characters, they may get a broken heart. It comes in the form of a giant black broken heart which would have the colour of the offended character's heart around the edge. Obtaining a broken heart would cause the player to lose one heart from their total heart count. Should the player earn no hearts in the chatroom, they will get a -1 heart count for that chat event. You can also get broken hearts in messages depending on the options you'll choose.

## Spaceship

Once the UFO reaches the Honey Buddha Chips bag, you can open the bag by tapping it and get 0-600 hearts and 0-4 hourglasses depending on the quote you get. It takes roughly 4 hours for the bar to fill up completely.

She is seen wearing a black dress shirt with transparent long sleeves, red dangling earrings and a golden necklace.

## Role

### Background

Not much of Glam's background is known nor can it be confirmed to be true, but she has stated that she was previously married and she has a daughter. She says the only reason she went into the acting business was to support herself and her daughter after her ex-husband's company failed.

## Relationships

### Jumin Han

Although Glam acted friendly and cordial to Jumin, he showed no interest in her or in the fact that she was possibly becoming his second step-mother. However, as Glam's schemes are revealed and become more obvious, Jumin shows his contempt towards and reveals the ploy to his father in one of the most shocking ways possible. At the end of the route, Jumin and C&R International have begun the process of suing her and Sarah Choi.

### Chairman Han

In Deep Story, Glam is the current girlfriend of Chairman Han and at the start of Jumin's route, the couple announces that they are considering marriage, but are yet to be formally engaged. However, the couple's relationship is merely a ploy for Glam to settle her financial problems and to ensure her younger sister's own financial security.

Prior to the revelation of her scheme, Chairman Han and Glam were in what appeared to be a loving relationship. Unfortunately, during the relationship the chairman was blinded by his "love" for his girlfriend and he was easily manipulated by her.

## Personality

Saejoong Choi is a political figure who is well-liked for his honesty and kindness, and it is said in Another Story that he is likely to be a successful politician with a chance of being elected as the next president. It is later revealed that this Saejoong, who is loved by the public, is the polar opposite of his real self. He is extremely violent towards his sons, apparently having tried relentlessly to find and kill them when they were young. He later goes so far as to kidnap 707 in an attempt to obtain information about his brother.

Saejoong has committed a series of illegal acts, such as bribing police, to maintain his perfect image.

## Appearance

Saejoong Choi is said to be fairly good-looking for a politician (affirmed by Zen). He has brown hair and golden eyes. It is shown that he looks similar to 707, which starts the questions at first place.

## Role

### Background

Around 20 years ago before the events of the game, Saejoong Choi had an affair with Mother Choi - despite being a husband and father - who later gave birth illegitimately to Saeyoung Choi and Saeran Choi. Mother Choi blackmailed him into giving her money in exchange for hiding the twins, fearing their existence would ruin his political career. Overtime, however, he grew paranoid and obsessively attempted to get his sons killed.
Rika's apartment

***SPOILERS AHEAD, READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!***

If you haven't played Mystic Messenger completely, you might read something that will reveal to you the complete story of the game. So please pay attention!

Rika's apartment is a key location and where the player mostly resides in the game after being sent there by Unknown during the Casual and Deep Story.

## Description

Rika's apartment is registered under V's name, but is where Rika used to live in prior to the installation of the special security system. There is an elevator and a password lock by her room. The code used to unlock the door is only known to Rika, Unknown, and 707. In Yoosung's route, it is revealed by Seven that the place has good facilities with shower booth and a bathtub, there are also 20 bodyguards in the apartment who will put down any stranger in 3 minutes.

Zen's route reveals that the apartment has heat and motion sensors. Seven stated that Rika's room is on the 14th floor and the window is made with bulletproof glass. In Jumin's route, when the player asks if Seven is watching her sleep he denies it and states that he is watching her on a CCTV in the hallways. But in the normal and bad endings of Xmas Special, it is revealed by him also, that there are CCTVs around and inside the location, except in the room.

## Story

The player is given the address to the apartment location by Unknown, and she is asked by him to run an errand by entering it. Pretending not to see the password lock on the door will lead to prologue bad ending.

The apartment contains a special security system. In the prologue, V informs the player not to touch anything in the room else the alarm will ring. Furthermore, the apartment also contains private documents about the party guests. In Seven's route, Seven also finds blueprints of Mint Eye’s building in one of the drawers. All routes eventually reveal that a bomb was placed inside by Seven at Rika's request to destroy the documents in the case an intruder attempts to steal the information.

The player stays in the apartment for the majority of the game; however, her safety becomes an issue as the days pass by. In Yoosung, Zen, and Seven's routes, Unknown hacks into the bomb to detonate at the presence of any member of RFA entering or exiting the apartment. He is also given a manual switch to activate the bomb.

Rika's apartment is destroyed by the bomb in Yoosung's Bad Story Ending 1, Bad Relationship Ending 2, Jumin's Bad Story Ending 3, and V’s Good Ending.

In the second part of the Secret Ending, Seven makes an offer to Jaehee to purchase the apartment to use as RFA's office.
April Fool's DLC

***SPOILERS AHEAD, READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!***

If you haven't played Mystic Messenger completely, you might read something that will reveal to you the complete story of the game. So please pay attention!

     April Fool's Special 2017 is an **April Fool's DLC**, as well as the game's third DLC, that has been released on 21st March 2017, along with the v1.7.0 update for both Android and IOS. It consists of one day of gameplay, three endings, fully voiced Visual Novels, special ringtones, 23 new Album images and new BGMs.

60 hourglasses are required to unlock the DLC. Players are recommended to save any progress before starting on the April Fool's DLC as choosing to play it will start a new game progress, therefore overwriting any existing game progress that has been unsaved. Once the DLC has been purchased, it will be permanently available to the player, thus allowing the player to access the DLC at any point of time.

The DLC can be found under the Special option at the bottom right of the main menu (or main lobby) after v1.7.0 update. In addition, the gameplay UI has also been changed to exhibit a parody image of "The Birth of Venus" with Zen acting as the goddess Venus, much like the Halloween and Christmas update.

## Gameplay Changes

    *For phone calls that are made over the course of the DLC, see also Phone Calls*

1. New Special menu with April Fool's theme.
2. The April Fool's DLC lasts for only one day, unlike the usual 11-day gameplay.
3. Unlocking a missed chatroom costs 7 HG. While unlocking access to 24 hours' worth of chat rooms cost depends on the remaining number of chat rooms to be unlocked. The less remaining chatrooms, the less HG that needs to be used.
4. Like the Christmas DLC, the player is not required to invite guests. As a result, the email and guest options located at the left side of the gameplay UI has been replaced with inanimate buttons with a plaster bust, thus preventing the player from opening the inbox and viewing the guest list.
5. The first message of each character to you can be replied, while the rest of the upcoming messages cannot, including Unknown's text. Unlike the Christmas DLC, you can get hearts by the options you reply to.
6. In the DLC (not full view), Jumin is a grey cat, Jaehee is an electric kettle, Yoosung is an omelette, and Seven is a piece of cardboard. Only the player and Zen are human.
7. The full view of the April Fool's theme can only be viewed on April 1st.
8. When you enable the April Fool's Theme in the Settings, each character's profile, chat, and message is changed to an April Fool's theme that is only available on April 1st. As of the 1.7.2 update, the April Fool's Theme is now available for the entirety of April.
	1. Jumin adds "Yo~" to the end of his messages.
	2. Seven adds "...hehe...(omg!)" to the end of his messages.
	3. Zen adds "Hiccup" to the end of his messages.
	4. Yoosung adds "...Know what i'm saying?" to the end of his messages.
	5. Jaehee adds "...is what Jaehee thought!" to the end of her messages.

Sally

***SPOILERS AHEAD, READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!***

If you haven't played Mystic Messenger completely, you might read something that will reveal to you the complete story of the game. So please pay attention!

## Background Information

### Relatives

Rika (owner)

**Sally** was a dog that belonged to Rika, she was an abandoned puppy when Rika adopted her a week after Rika reconciled with Mika at the hospital of Rika's father.

## Personality

Sally is a loyal and protective dog. She was always in the company of Rika and would often protect her from her abuse.

As she aged and gained her cataracts, it's said that she grew depressed and was 'sad' because she could no longer see.

## Appearance

Sally was a small golden/brown puppy with big brown eyes. She had curly floppy ears and a brown nose.

## Background Story

Not much is known about Sally except that Rika adopted her as a young puppy and had her until she was somewhere over 7 years old, when she began to develop cataracts. Rika refused to pay for the costly surgery, causing Sally to go blind. Due to her blindness, Sally wandered in front of a moving car and got hit by it, and as a result passed on.

## Relationships

### Rika

Rika was Sally's living owner. However, when Sally got old she got cataracts in her eyes and Rika refused to pay for the surgery, so Sally wandered into the road and got killed by a car. Rika feels very guilty about this and this event only added on to her depression.

In Rika Behind Story, it was shown that Sally had been on Rika's side since Rika's school days. Whenever Rika's mother scolded Rika, Sally protects her. And when Rika was exposing the pastor in the cathedral, she accompanied Rika too. When Rika's mother rejected Sally to stay in her home, Rika still kept her because Rika felt pity for being abandoned. When V suggested adopting a new puppy, Rika refused because Sally is an irreplaceable dog.

### Yoosung

He is seen to care about Sally very much, despite the fact she isn't his dog. After her death, he states that "the vet should've known she was sad about her eyes. He's the expert" He then vowed to become a vet and protect all of Rika's pets.

### Rika's Mother

When Rika brought Sally in their home, Rika's mother despised her and told Rika to send her away, in which Rika refused. When Rika turned on a legal age, Rika's mother evicted both Rika and Sally from her house.

## Trivia

* Her breed is most likely a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
* The cost to remove her cataracts was somewhere around $1,800 or $2 million.
