i dont know if i did anything wrong when i played the game as i clicked for all things i needed and 4 of them died and i saved to was i meant to get things out of there bag to stand up against the girl who was killing?
i will be playing it again to see if i missed things
This game has currently mixed reviews on steam and that is exactly how I feel about it.
But if I am asked if i would recommend this game, then no, I wouldn't.
So this is Korean game, and it also started in Korean and I had to blindly click thru menus to find settings and change language to English. The translation is rough, it is readable but its not the silky smooth translation I am used to from Japanese VNs. On top of it, there are even typos in names of locations sometimes.
So this is story about group of university students, who end up on wrong island and their fun trip goes horribly wrong. The story is good and exciting, it is the game play that is bringing this game down.
At first it is purely visual novel with some investigation scenes that are easy to solve. But later the investigation scenes turns into pure pixel hunting where you literally have to keep clicking everything and everywhere because the solution is shadow under cupboard and similar stuff. Also the game will start giving you bad ends for choices you made like halfway thru the game. In the end I gave up when the game gave me bad end for something I did so far back that I didn't even have save that old.
The fact that there is total absence of English written guides on the internet doesn't improve the situation at all.
This is not bad game and if you have enough patience to deal with game's bullshit you might enjoy this. But there are better games out there that have better translation and are less annoying.
Personal thoughts: Good game, very satisfied with the full voice acting and character design, potential gameplay to explore, yet at the same time there's a tid bit features that can really be improved to make this game more worth it. The premise is more to survival than it is to mystery, so don't expect to find an epic plot twist here, they're all pretty linear. No battle royale, no big discoveries such as human or government experiment either.
PROS:
+ Using comic format to tell a prologue.
+ Full voice acting, which actually match their characters.
+ Beautifully-drawn character sprites, despite in black-and-white
+ Interactive gameplay which affects storyline: Investigation & Tuning In
+ Quite a few endings to hunt, which means different variations of the story.
+ Paying around $5 here and finished the game with a good ending in 2-3 hours. At first I was surprised with how short it ended, but I decided to replay, and am now on hour 6th and still looking for the endings. I guess it's a so-so between the price and playtime.
+ Flowchart system which allows you to jump into scene without having to replay everything, BUT... (see last point of - feedbacks)
THINGS TO IMPROVE:
- The overall story is complete, but some parts feel very rushed and unexplained, as if they're just recycling and recombining all the possible plots.
- The distinction between character and background are clearly visible. Background definitely have weird perspective and looks like a messy doodle sketch.
- I don't really focus on the BGM.
- Some visible typos, but tolerable.
- Might as well make some Investigation into a puzzle room. I can totally see some potential there with some room like how Seul is using a paperclip instead of hammer to open a locked door , but was quite disappointed to find it nothing special like, the buttons at communication tower, or when looking for ship parts in the warehouse.
- Same goes with Character's Perspective feature. Other than for Tuning In maybe it can be used for something more. Also need to fix the typewriting-thingy when changing scenes. Long letters required longer typing and cannot be skipped.
- It's a bit difficult to know if there's actually a "timer" or not in each Investigation. There's one time where we just need to leave the scene as it is without clicking on anything to progress to the story. Another time, I'm waiting for a few minutes at another scene in hope something might happen, yet nothing happened.
- That said, if "timer" can be applied to Investigation in order to create another branchlines, it would be interesting.
- Make use of the UI/UX properly. It would definitely be more interesting if player can actually be able to open the voice chat, text message, use that foxzilla, access GPS location, use their default item, etc. At the end of the day, we're left with just Inventory ,Save/Load, and Settings? When characters are supposed to receive text messages, it was only explained in the story, while it looks better if we can actually open the our Mail Inbox. Developers, if you have the time to invest on that UI, might as well make it useful to the game.
- Speaking of UI, I don't really get the purpose off having different "placeholders" for the character's name (e.g. Dambi's a flower, Jo's a megaphone). It destroys the visual harmony because they're too randomised.
- Need to control SKIP READ via Settings.
- Need to zoom in/out at the Flowchart. It's quite hard to follow the branch because player can't see the bigger picture.
- Access to replay ending/important scenes via Collection instead of just showing the thumbnails of what we've collected.
- More extras in Collection as a mean to appreciate the hours player spent or this game. Can even put the character profile, re-read the prologue, etc. Especially when this game doesn't offer any CGs.
- Most triggered part for me personally: Some system text are still in Korean (the Flowchart, some settings, sometimes the sign in game). Minor thing, fine, but if the system text are still in Korean and I need to pick [Yes/No], then I'm doomed.
Conclusion : Is this game recommended? I would say yes, despite all those (-) points I wrote above which seems to overwhelm the (+) points. When I play the game, I do feel thrilled and enjoy it till the end. The story ain't boring (although the writing is not that out of league either), it was enough to keep me entertained and retain its repeating value. Not recommended for those who can't tolerate the lack of features written above.
To start off, I first purchased this game just as a way to practice and improve my Korean.
But after playing the game now for over 26 hours, and getting 100% completion with every ending, I have to say that it was also an extremely enjoyable ride.
Throughout the game and its many story lines I feel like I became good friends with every character in this game (except 배일수. I hate you, 배일수.)
There are plenty of twists and turns that will keep you interested, even after you've already completed one or more of the endings.
Even the bad endings were entertaining to complete, at least just to see how the characters reacted to new situations.
I'm a bit sad now that I won't be able to hang out with my friends anymore. I'm also a bit sad that the endings were explained only in text (I would've liked to have seen visuals for some of those).
Overall, it was a fun game that I'd recommend to anyone, whether you're trying to improve your Korean or not.
Also, if the game company were to release 세한's indestructible phone case (which he dropped at least over 9,000 times), I would buy that in a second.
As for the artwork, some of the scenes felt like they were really rushed, while others were cleaner. I suppose there was a deadline and some of the drafts were just left unfinished. It didn't ruin the game, but that's my only big complaint.
As for the voice acting, I really liked it. Everyone did a great job, and you could easily tell what the characters were thinking just by listening to and reading what they said.
My only complaint is that I couldn't put my fist through my computer screen and punch 배일수 in the face. Besides that, great game.
Oh! Also I really want to know what's behind the bookshelf in the 진찰실. There were even scratches on the floor. Please send me an email, and tell me what's back there. Dead bodies? Is that 배일수's Choco pie storage room? I won't tell anyone else.
If there's ever a sequel, I'll be first in line.
Oh yeah, and it's definitely a great game for practicing Korean if you're at least an intermediate level or higher.
I played this game until I got my first good ending.
I expected it to be a mystery game, but it was more of a thriller without any mystery or plot twists. Despite that, I still enjoyed the story. The characters are likable and the writing is good. I just would have liked to learn more about the characters and their relationships/backstories.
The art is nice, and has a distinct style that fits the game's atmosphere well.
Overall, for the price, the game is good.
Great music, amazing story, fun cast of characters. Few grammar and spelling mistakes, however, definitely doesn't hinder gameplay.
It's a good game and I like the story but there were a few mistakes in the English translation (I could still read it though).
