About this game
On a peaceful day on October 3rd in Joseon, the descendant of God made his appearance to the world. Leading a legion of iron-clad machines and ascending to the throne himself, he proclaimed that all of this was the will of God, announcing the birth of a new nation.
Welcome to 'New Joseon', a nation ruled by the order of God.
The Ruby, the highest royalty who deliver His words as God’s agents, overseeing and commanding the order of New Joseon,
The Lapis, the aristocratic class and former nobles who assist the Ruby in governing the details of the nation and creating the flow of order,
The Jade, the common subjects who serve as the foundation of order, creating products according to its flow,
The Shadow, the lowest class who serve the higher classes to wash away the original sins of their past lives, forming the bedrock of order.
Beyond them lie the Amber, mechanical existences wearing human guises that execute the will of God.
The reason why the people of New Joseon conform to their given fate is clear.
In a world ordered by utility and superiority, the end for those who disrupt the order is nothing but the silence of death. Thus, instead of resisting, they choose to pray.
all to seize the single chance on the Day of the Oracle, October 3rd—when a Shadow may be chosen by God to become a Lapis.
Saegyeol, who was persecuted as a Shadow, is miraculously chosen by God on the Day of the Oracle to become a Lapis. However, just as she is barely getting used to her overly affluent life, she loses her life to a mysterious, unannounced assassination.
And then, the hands of the clock wind back.
When she opens her eyes, time has returned to the very day she was chosen to become a Lapis—the exact scene steeped in her father's tragic death. Instead of accepting her impending death, Saegyeol decides to uncover the conspiracy that killed her father and pushed her into the cycle of death. Yet, as she faces unexpected truths, her questions only multiply.
“Who killed me? And why am I alive?”
Will Saegyeol be able to solve the mysteries surrounding her and reveal the true intention of God, who turned back time?
Track down the truth of the case while exploring New Joseon, a dystopia where the aesthetics of Joseon fuse with mechanical civilization. You can directly search the scene and collect clues through Field Investigation to move through spaces, and Detailed Investigation to rotate, zoom in, and zoom out the camera view.
You must verify alibis by conversing with suspects on various topics and find contradictions within their statements. The reactions and lines triggered when you present collected Clues and Character Information add depth to the world setting and heighten the tension of the Interrogation.
Untangle the intricately intertwined cases with thorough investigations and sharp interrogations to uncover the full, buried story.
The Early Access version features the prelude to the story, “Chapter 0: Locomotive and Cogs.” Investigate the suspicious case at the locomotive factory and uncover the whole truth for yourself!

「Dorasyeoda」 Dev Log
🌊 Hello, this is Merlin's Attic, the development team behind 「Dorasyeoda」.Already, one month of 2026 has passed, and we have arrived at February.During this time, we prioritized showing tangible progress to those who have been patiently waiting for Dorasyeoda, and as a result, we were unable to share development logs as frequently as we had hoped.However, since our last developer letter, many of you—having waited for quite some time—have reached out with a common question: “How far along is the development right now?”In response to your voices, we would like to share a portion of what we are currently working on, and what kinds of changes have taken place along the way.In our previous developer letter, we mentioned that starting this year, our goal is to deliver updates sequentially.For the upcoming update, rather than immediately increasing visible content, we are focusing on laying a solid foundation to support the stories of Chapters 1 through 3.As part of this process, we are revisiting Chapter 0 and revising areas that require adjustment.We came to the conclusion that if these issues were not addressed now, they could become obstacles when unfolding the story later on.At the same time, we are steadily improving elements that may disrupt immersion during gameplay.While you wait for the upcoming update, we hope that sharing our development progress can offer a small token of appreciation for your patience. Moving forward, we plan to share development updates as consistently as possible.Worldbuilding RevisionOne of the areas that required the most time during this development phase was a comprehensive review and refinement of the existing worldbuilding.We revisited and reorganized the foundational elements of Dorasyeoda’s setting—culture, economy, religion, technology, and political systems—one by one, with the aim of strengthening the narrative’s core.Among these, the most significant change concerns the class system, which forms the backbone of Dorasyeoda’s stor...Read full article on Community Announcements (STUDIOS NooY)AnnouncementsOfficial
Developer Letter
🌊Hello, it's Merlin's Attic from the Dorasyeoda development team.It has already been more than a year since we last shared a developer’s letter, and we felt it was our duty to reach out again to those who have been waiting.During this time, we have been reflecting on what was lacking, reviewing and refining the overall system, reorganizing our development environment, and steadily conducting internal tests to fix countless bugs. At the same time, we have been laying the groundwork for the new chapter, preparing so that stable updates can continue in the future, and even creating in-house tools to improve development efficiency—making gradual improvements step by step. However, as the size of our team has become smaller, more time than expected has been required. Even so, we are carefully moving forward one step at a time, doing our utmost to prevent the same issues from happening again.Starting next year, our goal is to gradually roll out updates. We will first release the refined existing content, and then steadily expand with new chapter updates.As we have said before, we will never stop development. More than anyone, we are deeply committed to completing and officially launching "Dorasyeoda", and we want to reward those who are waiting with results we can be proud of.Once again, we deeply thank you for your long patience. Though our pace is slow, we will continue to work diligently to return with better progress. We hope that next time, we will be able to greet you with update news.Thank you. With gratitude, Merlin's Attic Devs.Read full article on Community Announcements (STUDIOS NooY)
