#dandelion wizard

OK MAJOR SPOILER ALERT FOR ALL 3 CHERITZ GAMES HERE. NOT KIDDING. If you love looking at theories for this game and are as into the rabbit hole with this crazy plot as I am, I suggest playing the other two games Nameless and Dandelion and returning to this theory. Or read on if you are curious but don’t want to invest the time into these games (they are pretty awesome though IMO)

Ok so I’m going to explore here what I think mystic messenger is based on what I’ve gathered from all three games. In short I believe mystic messenger to be a world that has been created/populated from memories that were lost in Dandelion. More specifically, It could easily be a game monitored and controlled by Seven--who is actually a memory himself--sorry folks I think he’s a memory of the wizard but not necessarily the wizard himself. (or at least that how I feel at this moment--V route could potentially shake up all of this) Ok so what are these memories that now live in the game and how did they get there?

So in Dandelion the game is a game set by a wizard who is in love (or obsessed) with the protagonist Heejung. He exists in a separate realm where humans can’t interact with him unless they have a desperate wish. So he creates this game to get wishes from Heejung so he can then actually see and interact with her.  But once isn’t enough for him, so he rewinds time a number of times in order to get her to wish more until he can’t stand it and does something rash to end up with her--I’ll get to that in a minute.  Ok so it’s important to know that desperate wishes can only be fulfilled by sacrificing memories surrounding what you are wishing for. Since Heejung wishes to be reunited with the guy who she fell in love with each time, and who was taken from her, she loses all those memories of them and their relationship in order to get them back. Now the wizard has those memories. Then he rewinds time, that incident doesn’t happen anymore and now ONLY the memories exist. In the end he does this with every character at least once (no wish was made with Jieun though) before he finally decides he just wants to be with her and he’ll do whatever it takes. So he fulfills his own desperate wish to be with her and loses ALL OF HIS MEMORIES--Including the ones he took from Heejung. Because of rewinding time, the love between Heejung and the others now ONLY EXISTS IN MEMORY FORM. So where do these memories end up? The wizard made his own wish so they can’t be with him because he had to give them up to himself?? (idk) So I’m guessing since they no longer can have a host they sort of end up in another universe/world and that world is Nameless.

Ok so now these memories have manifested in another world and they happen to be pieces of a heart that end up being put into dolls that are collected by a girl who inexplicably were drawn one way or another to these dolls that she prizes. Including one doll (teddy bear) who was forgotten by the girl and suspiciously has a lot in common with the wizard’s twisted nature, and also a very similar situation--the girl is unreachable and he ends up playing a game developed by another wizard who sympathizes with his struggle to get her to come to his world and see her again. The girl who likely is a reincarnation of the wizard’s memory of Heejung now needs to collect all the pieces of the heart (ie. Heejung’s memories--and one of the Wizard’s--Yeun Ho is the memory of only the wizard because Heejung didn’t make a wish with him--funny too because he was used and very beaten up (possibly because it’s a memory of a memory and a bit flawed)) in order to remember her first doll--nameless (the wizard) Thus the dolls come to life and she has to win their hearts to get her memories back basically and so that she can remember who nameless is, and once she knows, he can be with her again. She of course is unaware of this and keeps a diary that has all her memories from all the times she spends with her and her dolls in each timeline. This is used as collateral for the wizard who makes the game possible for nameless in return. So in the end this new wizard runs off with a diary of memories of memories. (Inception much?)

Ok so where does that leave us? A new wizard (maybe V?) has an obsession of his own (Rika?) and runs off with the diary of memories of memories. It is from these memories in the diary this wizard takes that the world of mystic messenger is created. I think that Saeran is very much like nameless in personality,but let’s also keep in mind he has a twin--707--interesting because by this time around the wizard is now a memory of Eri (or your name) of nameless in the diary who is a memory of Heejung’s. I think only Heejung and the wizard get duplicated from mystic messenger because they are the only hosts of the original memories. So if MC (who looks an awful lot like a faded Heejung) then Eri is who? One guess is someone rather unexpected but sorta works in a way--Eri could be Elly--or rather Elizabeth the 3rd. I’ll have more on where I get that on another theory I’ll post later. I will also discuss further “the game” aspect of mystic messenger another time too. 

So basically, you are playing and watching and controlling the protagonist in all these games, until you--yourself realize that the game is basically all your memories of playing the games you’ve played put together in one place. Kind of like a wizard who wants to be with someone whom he can’t reach unless the game is played, someone who doesn’t remember him--ie. you. Tripped out yet? Well who is the one character who seems to look uncannily like a wizard, is trapped in another dimension from you, seems to know who you are straight away, and loves and protects you in every route??? 

So I just finished a route from Dandelion and saw this guy
