I first stumbled across missed messages. back in 2022—and immediately fell in love with Angela He’s illustrations.

Since then, I’ve been quietly obsessed with her work. So when I found a new life., I had to try it. It’s a very short visual novel with multiple endings, but don’t let the length fool you.

What I love most is how it handles choices. Not just in the “which ending will you get?” kind of way, but in a deeper, more honest way. It captures the real weight of a decision—how one small moment can shift everything. And sometimes, no matter how carefully you choose… things still fall apart.

Can I sit here?

Your choice matters.

And of course, it comes with the experience: breathtaking illustrations, a soothing soundtrack, and that unmistakable bittersweet tone.

It’s beautiful. It’s delicate. It's brief.

It reminds you to savor the small moments—the quiet ones, the messy ones, the ones that don’t seem to matter until they’re already gone.

And sometimes? You just have to let them go.
