Overview

Solve the mystery of the disappearance of a real estate tycoon. This adventure/visual novel game will unveil the secrets hidden behind the facades of a neighborhood in Seoul, with some being frightening and others holding pleasant surprises.

Mr. Lee, a wealthy businessman, has vanished into the tentacled streets of Seoul. Was he kidnapped, did he abandon his financial burdens, or did he simply drown in the murky waters of the Han River? Faced with the inertia of the authorities, it is up to you to find him.

In this point-and-click adventure game, embody Chad Barlow, an independent detective, albeit little interested in the impending investigation. Explore Hongdae, the student district with lively nights. Uncover clues, present them to the right people, and make choices that will lead you to successfully complete your mission… or just settle for surviving, which is already something.

Includes:

• A map of the Hongdae district leading to certain iconic locations.
• Point-and-click settings to find clues.
• Dialogues with characters to discuss these clues and possibly develop more intimate relationships.
• Three romances and a multitude of playful situations.
• A plot that juggles between horror and farce.
• A family-friendly mode, perfect for streaming or playing with your children.

EPISODE 2 (Beta) – v0.10.06
Game development is a long process, but we’ve reached a key milestone that should please the most impatient players.
New Features:

• The final part of the game is fully integrated: no more storyboard placeholders. All the artwork is there—some fully finished, others still in sketch form. (Thanks to the gallery, you’ll be able to revisit your unlocked scenes once they are fully colored.)
• Choice trees and dialogues are complete: 3 endings are now available—one major and two minor ones, with subtle variations depending on your decisions.
• 7 new Steam achievements to show your friends how you completed the story.
• 2 new sex scenes added, along with some erotic moments sprinkled throughout the adventure.

Not done yet:

• More stories in the first episode environments.

v0.10.05
WHAT’S NEW

• Animation of the porn scene in the karaoke.
• Game Over animation (with the nurse).
• For the curious, it’s possible to unlock the version with rough ugly sketches of Episode 2. This WIP mode is unlocked by clicking on a window in the “Apartments” scene… It’s hidden because only the extremists reading the patch notes might appreciate it 

BUG FIXES

• Fixed the bug that prevented some players from triggering the first animations.

v0.10.04
Patch Notes

• The arcade with the paladin elf offers a better reward with two new animations (already unlocked in the achievements menu if you previously reached the reward).
• The paladin is now easier to defeat: she loses in case of a tie with the player.
• Dialogues have been improved, especially the final one with Mr. Lee.
• An animation is shown when you lose a health point.

Navigation Comfort

• You can now skip dialogues using the spacebar.
• A short delay has been added to prevent accidentally skipping important animations.
• Stuttering animation loops on certain PC configurations have been fixed.

Known Bug

• Some players experience issues with animation playback. This is a rare bug, and we need feedback: please send your OS, graphics card, or the AppData/LocalLow/Balsagames/Horror in Hongdae/player.log file if you’re unsure of your setup.

v03.2023
I remind you that in the office, if you click on the tower in the landscape (Namsan Tower), there are shortcuts to specific scenes.
WHAT’S NEW
You have already seen in these videos the new visuals, but there are new technical features, starting with the music and sound that triggers when necessary.
1) Supported languages. On the main menu, for now you have French and English. It was a lot of work! I saw some untranslated stuff I’ll change later.
2) Improvement of features, such as greater ease of making clickable places on an image AND the possibility of setting a time limit to answer. It was already possible to do this in dialogues, now it works also with images. It’s the scene called “escape game” in the shortcut menu.
3) Additional scenes. Dialogues and sex scene with the teacher. Show her the scrolls if you find them.
4) Crime scene search with a functional phone.
5) The map is less sad, with more details.
I know some of you would like a walkthrough. I will try to not forget to do one. Next month, I’m 100% on this game so I can work on the clues.
I have to mention that for now, I’m using the music fr
