The Ssum : Love from Today 12+

Like others, I think I’m just generally disappointed in the game. You can’t go into this expecting another Mystic Messenger, which you shouldn’t as a company aren’t exactly going to make the same game twice.

It’s pretty and the fact you can set your times for the day is a very good feature and I enjoy being able to post every day but there is just so much going on which doesn’t even seem to make sense? Why have I got a sheep that all I can do is click on it?

I’m only on day 5 and I’m already noticing the chats are getting boring and suddenly there are 5-20 minutes breaks within one chat! Had to turn notifications off for the game as they would send at 5 in the morning despite me putting my ‘wake up’ time as 8 so I’m having to remember to go into the app myself. It’s so bland and I think the fact it is just Teo makes it kinda boring.

Firstly, I would like to agree with the other reviews, I think mystic messenger is more hooking and engaging, however the ssum is still really great, I love the design concept and all the different features the app has which was really unexpected at first. I find the background music so calming and unlike mystic messenger it’s more applicable to my own schedule and feels more natural and comfortable!! I think it’s executed really well.
The app also has really helped me with my own personal growth (and without spoiling it too much, the side planets really show the different emotions very well). It allows me to connect more with my emotions and get through my day. I also think that the loading icon is adorable, and the little notes like “waking up piu piu” and “planting the seeds of conversation” are so cute, it literally makes me smile to myself. I also think the character designs are beautiful, like especially due to the fact that the story lines are quite long, it’s amazing how Cheritz is able to craft such complex characters that they are able to last such long durations of time. Honestly if anyone reads this review I really recommend this app, it’s honestly so great and has helped me a lot. ^^ have fun playing

I’m now on day 7, I’ve been putting a lot of time into this game but I feel there has barely been any progression with the conversation. Compared to MysticMessenger, the dialogue is a little boring. Making people pay for almost everything in the game feels shady, especially when you have to wait between 1-20 minutes between messages. It takes up a lot of time waiting to read unfulfilling conversations and even then there are some photos that you need to pay to view. The app is quite complicated and took a while to get used to. I really like some aspects of the game like the surveys but I wish you there was more to do without paying extra. I would be glad to pay a subscription if I thought it was worth it, but the monthly fee is so high.
