Melissa Heart is a horror visual novel game, combining psychological and love elements, where the player will take on the role of Tom—a man seeking love through a strange dating game called Date Time. However, what Tom did not expect was the strange and scary events that would gradually unfold when he began to get to know a girl named Melissa through the computer screen.
The game begins with Tom booting up an old computer and joining a library system. The computer asks him to enter a username, and after a few confusing operations, he begins the strange dating game. The player is presented with a series of options to choose a date, and in this game, Tom chooses Melissa—a girl who loves books.
Tom begins dating Melissa through the game, where he can only communicate with her through the computer screen. Melissa, with her innocent appearance and love of natural science, makes Tom feel quite comfortable, although still a little nervous because he doesn't know what will happen next. However, as darkness descends and unusual events unfold, the romantic moments in the park swiftly give way to a strange feeling.
Although Melissa seems adorable and friendly, as time goes on, her behavior becomes more and more strange and scary. This feeling is more obvious when the girl's characteristics gradually change, from worried eyes to hostile attitudes, and she begins to show signs of a character that is not real. When Tom tries to leave or stop communicating with her, Melissa becomes increasingly hysterical.
The game combines a simple love story with horror elements, forcing players to confront choices and decisions that influence the game's ending. Are you able to persuade Melissa of your genuine affection, or will you merely become prey in this unusual game? Situations when Tom tries to exit the game or even close the computer only add to the dark story.
In tense moments, Melissa begins to become like a virtual monster that Tom cannot escape. No matter how much he tries to say words of love or apologize, the incident does not stop her from turning into a more terrifying character, and the ending of the game is not pleasant. A wrong choice can lead to death, and you will have to go through many trials before finding a way to stay alive.
