I'm a big fan of these short horror games. This reminded me of Inside, which is one of my favorite games. I did hate the cell phone component of this game and eventually stopped reading the texts altogether. The story was good. Overall, this was a win.

I was a bit skeptical about this game but still went in bc it sounded nice. Like 2 levels in this mf glitches and makes it impossible to progress. A shame really but i wasn't feeling it enough to try and fix it

Today I've been too busy to play, but I cannot stop thinking about going back and finishing The Missing.

Oh, boy. Reading those text messages makes me so anxious. I know what they are going to say, and I know that there are real people in the world who think that and real people who have to suffer for that. It makes me sad, angry and I want to nuke everything from orbit.

Played a bit of the demo. The platforming feels floaty and stiff, but the puzzle elements are neat and I liked the overall feel.
