VN - Ren'Py - The Missing Part [Ch.3] [jPk vns]

I don't normally leave reviews, but this game is so good that I had to. It just grabs by the heart and never lets go, especially if you are a parent yourself. Incredible job and easily one of the best already. I personally see a game that will rival or surpass Leap of Faith.

Top tier story. You know the story is good when you don't even need porn but you're just so invested in the character and political drama in the story, reading from the edge of your seat as it unfolds, and then when the not-out-of-place and very natural smut does come along... HECK, THIS GAME IS A MASTERPIECE. Just play it, I'm sure you won't regret it.

Just finished Chapter 2 and I'm confident to say that this is gonna be on par with Leap of Faith. Came here just to pump up the ratings since I've felt the need to support it. I got no more words to say but just play it.

Am I Missing Part of this story that every 5 star reviewer here is seeing?

Disclaimer: played 500+ AVNs, mostly story-focused so take that into consideration as my palette might be more picky that average person (not better per se, just more refined over years).

Pros:

1. Renders and music decent.
2. Animations are good.
3. That's it?

Cons:

1. Long drawn sentences. I don't mind reading I fcking read VNs like a mfker. I know what feeling hooked into reading feels like and this isn't it unfortunately. I wanted to love this but it's missing a hook or something.
2. The prologue or exposition is too fast but even when things are stable, they are just overloaded with sentences. MC isn't creepy per se but I just didn't want to keep reading and neither did I find things any interesting.
3. I like slice of life but somehow this doesn't separate itself from hundreds other that I have read so no motivation to keep going.

Verdict: I personally won't be picking it up again just cuz I didn't get hooked into anything even after finishing the entire release. You may like it, who knows, but I just don't know what I'm missing that all these 5 stars are going for.

Excellent story so far. The prologue hit me really hard, and everything after so far maintained a real quality to it. The story seemed to skip out on the unnecessary drama and really focus on the characters and their stories. Highly recommend.

I played many games here, and never bothered to share my opinion on any.
I played when CH2 was released, now I came back for CH3. And I can truly say that this story, characters makes the best experience I can think of.
Thank you very much for this game.

Absolute masterpiece, was not at all expecting it. One of the few games to read every single line. Came out of the blue but cannot wait for more chapters now. Would and should be a play for anyone who enjoys deep stories in AVN's

The story is really amazing. It's been a while that avn makes me tear up, everytime the mc got flashback it just hit me and makes me tear up. And i hope in the future Madelyn(tracy) became a Love Interest. Idk if other people think it's weird, but for me she's would be interesting and had so much potential if became a LI.

A beautiful story with a painful but important message, learning how to deal with loss and find new meaning in your life.

Renders are very high quality with a soundtrack that greatly compliments the scenes and the tone of the story being told.

So far, I am only interested in Lisa as far as the LI's are concerned (even added her to my signature!) but I hope that I will come to appreciate the other girls in future updates.

As I have focused on Lisa the game has felt light on adult content, however, I'm sure that will change in future updates.

Love the game and keep up the good work jPk!

wow, the story starts off really sad and down but it gets better as the MC progresses through his pain. Very well written story and dialogue. I can feel MC's love for his family. The music also matches every situation of the story.

After getting past the shirt the MC wears at the start of the prologue the story is fantastic. I don't always spend time reading every single bit of dialogue but this time i did. The story is a slow burn and i really enjoy that they don't just jump into everything. it's a nice change of pace and the story flows well. I like that there are choices but not a crazy amount.

The Missing Part – Review

I’ve spent the last couple of nights with The Missing Part – and honestly, I couldn’t stop playing. Sleep wasn’t even an option, I just had to see what happened next.

What stood out the most:
[+] Emotional impact – the very beginning hits hard with loss, grief and guilt. Having gone through loss myself, I could relate to the MC’s despair on a personal level.
[+] Plot twists with real weight – especially in Chapter 3 (the sister twist), which completely floored me and made it clear that nothing is safe or predictable.
[+] Subtle “bombs” – everyday moments tie back into the MC’s tragedy (shoelaces, the nurse, the coffee cups). They seem small at first, but hit like a ton of bricks later.
[+] Reading & immersion – there’s a lot of text, but it never felt like too much. The pacing kept me hooked the whole time.

Verdict:
The Missing Part is an emotional rollercoaster with believable characters, strong atmosphere, and scenes that stay with you long after playing.

I even sacrificed sleep for it – and honestly, that’s a price I’m more than willing to pay when a game pulls me in this deep.
Can’t wait to see how the story continues!

despite the rating, i've sat through it all. partly because it's rather short, partly because i've been waiting for mc to finally grow a backbone.
the game sets its tone from the start - by telling a bittersweet love story, without giving even a tad bit of choice, not even a flavour one, promptly losing a way to personalise the experience, however guided it was supposed to be. as such, we are tasked to take a role of a very clueless man, to a point when it's borderline painful to witness. if anything, prologue establishes a clear manipulative dynamic between mc and the central character of the game, and this dynamic bleeds in to the main story itself. pathetically little amount of effort went into showing the bond between these two, and it's never expanded upon in the 3 following chapters. thus, it nullifies the drama, as we are told there is a connection, but not properly shown, not really. besides, any and all self-blame reads as character regression, rather than growth.
moving on, almost universally, characters go out of their way to be annoying at start (some never cease), showing little regard for the man that has done nothing to warrant it (kudos to the author to allow to retort without being arbitrary locked out of interactions or "losing points" with them). still, brace to be berated for no particular reason.
also, being polite and friendly can lock you on a LI's path up until 3rd chapter. I've only pursued one, but been forced to witness mc go on length to appease to others, even if you repeatedly pick "grey" options, subtly refusing to advance is not a sign enough, not to characters, not to the author.
not to mention an obvious and fake suspense of a mystery that can be seen from miles away, but mc is none the wiser despite so many clues. it's not a satisfying feeling - watching mc being stupidly witless, more so, when others try to keep it that way by purposely ignoring direct questions. kudos to mc trying hard using his singular brain cell, others are nothing short of devious.
contrary to what you may expect, side characters have virtually zero progression, despite some choices being marked as progressing a side route and main LIs receiving a noticeable development at the same time (some more than others). you'll not get closure (I know I didn't) and there is no payoff yet. it may be hard to justify taking any side route when already engaged in one of the main routes going forward. so one must either willing to cheat (which in itself may cause more damage to the consistency of the story) or refuse to pursue all main LIs.

that being said, music and sfx are there, and they are quite fitting. it's always good for the visual story to be auditory too.
if you value narrative agency and earned character development, this will likely disappoint. if you’re fine with a guided, melancholy route and can overlook an inert mc, taking game's somewhat concise length into consideration, it may still be worth some of your while.

First of all, ive played this game for like 20min and ill explain why:
The game start with you MC talking to ur supposed best buddy, i notice that the MC is ugly af, developer could've make him a little more presentable, but that is not relevant, its just my personal take ... after an annoying 5min dialogue you go on start ur "journey" into the game, you quickly realize you're a rich loser that people treat you like shit, even your mother, then some random girl just hit u while skateboarding, and even though it was completely her fault, she treats u like shit, try to blackmail saying it will call the cops and other things if u dont buy her a new skateboard, of course, you a spineless loser that u are just agree with everything she says, and in the end, after a bunch of BS talk she start talking about some sad story and i was like "am i supposed to feel sorry for u now u f*** bi*** after u treating me like disposal garbage and MC just taking it like a good little bitch?" lmao, who wrote this thing? at this point i was almost uninstalling, but i was like nah bro, lets give it a try a little more, surely all those good rating means something right? then the game fastfoward into sometime in the future only to see u are married to this girl... i mean, i never played a game with a worse character introduction than this, developer must be smoking something strong to think this is a good start of a game, maybe the game is really a good one, but this beggining suck all my joy to play

The story is pretty heavy on the tragedy in the beginning, but when the real story starts that's when it becomes very K-Drama-esque. There's not much going on after the prologue except spending time with LIs, to be honest my main gripe with this AVN might be in that department.

Reasoning : So far I only see one potential LI and that's Lisa, for some reason Hailey and Sarah are competing for bottom of the barrel, with the friends of both said LIs being better overall.

TL;DR - You play as a business owner who is put through the wringer from the very beginning, stumbling to find a meaning in his life or end maidenless

Best VN ever... I enjoyed everything about it, great story, great quality. Also time play is actually good, played it for few days. I wish the next chapter will be dropped this year but I know that not possible for a great work this one here. Keep up

Wow! I'm totally blown away by this AVN. This is absolutely one of the best I have played, and it deserves top tier ranking.
It's important to note that this is NOT a Wank fest AVN. It's an unabashedly story first. And it's a very interesting story. It's emotionally compelling and may catch some by surprise. It's a story of tragedy, loss and the road to mending after such.
The writing and story structure are some of the best I've encountered so far. The author created an extremely engaging world and characters. I found myself emotionally invested almost from the beginning.
Graphics are good, and the animations tastefully used. While they are perhaps the weakest part of this AVN, but they are still much better than MANY other titles out there.

If you enjoy an engaging story with lewds sprinkled in appropriate to the story line, then this is certainly for you. If you are looking for pure titillation, then look elsewhere. But you might try this one anyway. You may end up liking it.
Props to the developer and I hope they keep up the magnificent work. I really am looking forward to seeing the story unfold.
I'm enthusiastically going to subscribe to their Patreon.

You know, I spend the entire day looking for a great visual novel with a great story and characters. I'm not interested in a vn that is just about sex

And as a result, I rarely come across games that are worth 5 stars

But today I'm happy to report that the missing part is one of those games

From the heartbreaking prologue, from the very beginning, it hooked me, and I haven't been able to let go of it since

the characters are wonderful, not just an appearance, but personality

We have an MC that is a three-dimensional character with depth and not just a horny idiot

an actual best friend you actually like

We also have a story that is not just sad but happy and full of twists and turns

and not to mention a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more

If you haven't played the missing part, I would advise you to download it right now and give it a shot

You will not be disappointed

This is my first review of a game here on the site. For me, it's one of the best games here. It's easily one of my top 3 here.
The story is extremely well written.
I wish you the best of luck with the project and look forward to the next chapters.

Easily top 3 favorite games of all time. This game is amazing, this isn't a fap game at all but the story is amazing. This game has real emotion and depth to the characters. This game feels more like a movie, i cant get enough of it, cant wait for the next chapter to come out. Will be looking forward to the development of this game.
