About the Game

Appealing aspects of a game

  • Narrative-focused: It contains the prologue of the main story 'Return Home,' giving it a strong visual novel-like character.

  • Unique Action: Red beans, traditionally believed to ward off evil spirits, serve as the game’s only weapon and provide a red bean bomb action experience on the eighth day.

  • Worldview: Long ago, there existed a terrifying demon with a hundred faces that lured and corrupted humans. The exorcist Biundam attempted to vanquish this demon but failed, sacrificing his life to create an incomplete seal. As a result, the Hundred-Faced Demon was left with a faint ability to influence reality. This story follows So-eun, a high school girl who becomes ensnared in the demon’s trap.

  • Character Introduction

  • So-eun: The high school girl protagonist. She has a very bright and cheerful personality, loves animals deeply, and is especially fond of cats.

  • Baekmyeongwi: A sinister being with a hundred faces. Through sweet words and deception, it lures people into corruption and makes them its servants. In its own realm, it wields far greater power, but due to Biundam’s seal, it cannot fully unleash its strength.

  • Cat: A mysterious being whose allegiance—friend or foe—remains unknown.

Story

In the past, there existed a terrifying demon known as Baekmyeongwi, the Hundred-Faced Demon. Possessing a hundred different faces, it earned its name by disguising itself as familiar people, deceiving and corrupting them. Those who fell into corruption became demons themselves, enslaved under Baekmyeongwi’s control. Grieving the loss of loved ones, people sought out the exorcist Biundam, who engaged in a fierce battle against Baekmyeongwi. Yet, overwhelmed by the multitude of corrupted demons, Biundam alone was not enough. Despite fighting with all his strength, he could not defeat the demon and ultimately sacrificed his own life to seal Baekmyeongwi. However, drained of power, Biundam’s seal was incomplete. Because of this imperfect seal, Baekmyeongwi retained a faint ability to influence the real world and began searching for a victim who could release him from it. This story is about a high school girl who becomes ensnared in the demon’s trap.
