About the Game

Wonhon is a paranormal stealth-action and tactics game about revenge in a 1920’s era Korea. The main character is a Korean girl who was killed along with her family during an attack on their village. Jeoseung Saja, the God of Death, gives the girl the paranormal ability to turn into a ghost and possess living creatures. Without weapons to protect herself, the girl must rely on stealth, finding any opportunity to use the power to transform into a ghost in order to exact her revenge.

A Girl and a Ghost: A defenseless child surrounded by enemies, the game’s phantasmal protagonist can take life force (Qi) from living creatures, turn into a ghost and possess them.

A Story of Vengeance: Having made a deal with death, the girl must defeat the marauding army through stealth and combat.

A Delicate Balance: Challenging situations call for clever solutions, will you go the stealthy route, possessing your foes and sneaking past problems, or will you go with brute force, and fight your way through the situation?
