Horror In Hongdae

About this game

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.

  PATCH NOTE – EPISODE 2 (Beta)

  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: The "bastard" ending is not available yet. The choice leading to it is visible but not clickable. More stories in the first episode environments. For those who played the secret rough/storyboard version of Episode 2 back in October, I suggest starting from a save before The Last Dinner. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45000209/2995dcfac657b48f0025d8131bd16abf47eb8f59.jpg
