《迷失 Missing》是一款探討心理健康與自我認同的解謎冒險遊戲。作品名「Missing」具有雙重含義:一是主角在現實中失去生活的方向,二是在虛擬世界中遺失了存在的真實意義。
故事講述熱愛甜點的甜點師「瑪朵」,因承受不住生活壓力而選擇自盡。雖然保住了性命,但她的意識卻墜入了看似完美無瑕的「糖果世界」。這裡的居民無憂無慮,甜美的氛圍讓瑪朵幾乎沉溺其中。然而,腦海中不斷出現的神祕聲音,促使她踏上找回記憶的冒險。
玩家將扮演瑪朵,透過蒐集「記憶碎片」來解開謎題。主角隨身攜帶的「日誌」是推動故事的核心物件,每當找回一段記憶碎片,日誌便會重新浮現主角在現實中的點滴文字,並將這些情感轉化為新的戰鬥技能或武器。
遊戲的世界觀以糖果為隱喻:糖果雖然甜蜜卻潛藏危害,正如逃避現實帶來的虛假安逸。地圖設計遵循「甜蜜、酸澀、苦味」的轉變邏輯,象徵著真相越趨明朗,過程便越發艱難。最終,玩家將面臨抉擇:是留在虛假的糖果王國中沉睡,還是擁抱殘酷卻真實的現實?本作旨在帶領玩家思考,在生活的重壓下,如何找回勇氣,重新面對自我。
"Missing" is a puzzle-adventure exploring mental health and self-identity. The title implies a loss of direction in reality and a search for lost existence in a surreal realm.
Maduo, a pastry chef, attempted suicide due to immense pressure. Surviving, her consciousness entered a "Candy World" where residents live without worry. Sweetness consumes her, yet a mysterious voice guides her quest to reclaim memories.
Players control Maduo, solving puzzles by collecting "Memory Fragments." Her "Diary" is key; as memories are recovered, it reveals her past, transforming emotions into skills and weapons.
The world's candy metaphor: sweet but harmful, like escaping reality. The map progresses from "Sweet" to "Bitter," symbolizing truth clarifying as the journey toughens. Players ultimately choose: remain in the fake Candy Kingdom or embrace cruel reality. This work encourages courage to face oneself amidst life's pressures.
