bruh this game is too goddamn relatable it gets even more viseceral when my deadnames initials are also "J.J." on a more serious note its a relatively short but easy play even if ur horrible at platformers like me there typically checkpoints close enough and I only ever needed a guide for collectibles and 2 puzzles

If you had told me a week ago that one of the most heartfelt and powerful queer narratives in all of gaming was a game made by Swery, I would have laughed at you. The idea sounds ridiculous—Swery? The Deadly Premonition guy? But it's true. I teared up when I finished The MISSING: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories . The integration of the gameplay with the story elements is masterful, elevating both and putting you into that emotionally raw place of alienation, dysphoria, and self-hatred right there with the main character. On top of that, it's also a legitimately very fun puzzle-platformer that manages to strike an excellent balance of difficulty and that uses its dismemberment mechanics to their fullest potential, without overstaying its welcome. Besides maybe one or two sections I got stuck on for an extended period of time because it wasn't clear what the game wanted from me, the game manages to stay consistently challenging while never putting up a brick wall of a difficulty spike. There are parts of the game that are rough around the edges—the voice acting is stilted, some of the animations (particularly those around the neck-breaking puzzles) get repetitive with how slightly too long they are, and a few controls could have been explained better. But honestly, to me, those imperfections just make the game feel that much more human and sincere.

The MISSING is a lovely and interesting story that was greatly hindered by gameplay, especially towards the end. It left me so frustrated and I feel the gameplay section of the finale could have been handled a lot better, as it greatly soured my overall enjoyment and left me struggling through, until I could finally see the credits roll. However, I am still going to say, it is a game one should experience for themself. It is VERY in your face with the story it is trying to tell, so I don't understand how so many people miss the mark by such a large margin. Yes, the collectibles give you more tidbits, but even without getting a 100% the game still shows you EXACTLY who J.J. is, and I loved every second of it. The voice acting was interesting, if a little lacking (once again towards the end), but it blessed me with such a fascinating new vocal stim of "Major hemorrhage"so, thank you based doctor. This game was made with the belief that nobody is wrong for being what they are.

I saw a Jesse Cox's playthrough years ago, when I was still newly figuring out my own identity. At the time, I didn't realize it was a trans story until fairly late. Now, finally playing it after my own transition, it feels so obvious and so much more relatable. And being relatable, it hurts so much more to play through certain parts of it. The trigger warning at the start of the game should absolutely be taken seriously, but if you can handle it I hope it gives some perspective for the struggles transgender people go through. And if you are questioning your own identity, maybe it will resonate with you too. <3

May 2024

+ unique visuals + deep cryptic and fragmented story + pretty complicated (as the game itself) + weird puzzle mechanics (da feels..ouch) + visual appealing + information to get into + very thoughtfull made + had trouble processing the whole game + confusing but good - some bugs where i had to restart things - some controls were annoying and not accurate Conclusion: To spare you from making spoilers. Just play it... Score: 90 13/10 weeeooooooowww 13/10 a lot of smartphone swearing XD
