A Deeper Dive

Great companion to Haunting Melissa and the sequel Dark Hearts. This deep dive curated by super fan Ziro culls other fans as well as the cast and crew to discuss the Haunting Melissa world. Even if you don’t know these apps, this is a fun journey into a growing culture of entertainment and storytelling.

Amazing

Even as a person who hasn't seen HM or Dark Hearts - this podcast has given so much insight into the app that I want to download it right now and join in on everything! ... And I don't particularly like scary things.
