Mistrick is a spin-off to my other game 'Misfiction'. It is not necessary to play Misfiction to understand Mistrick, since the events of Misfiction are retold through an intro cutscene (And not all that important later on). That being said, if you still plan on playing Misfiction I would advise you to do that first, or alternatively skip the intro cutscene of Mistrick, as it does contain spoilers for Misfiction.
