About the 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.
