Wise Demo Life Participation Review
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all users who participated in the 3rd Shooting Girls test, ‘Wise Demo Life.’
This test gave us much more in-depth feedback and a wider range of play styles than before, which gave us a clearer idea of where the game is headed and where it’s lacking.
In particular, many users participated in repeated tests and honestly told us what was improved or what was disappointing, which gave us a valuable opportunity to further develop the game.
I once again felt how valuable this process of creating together with users is, and I will do my best to reward you with an even more complete version before the official release.
We ask for your continued interest and support.
Thank you so much again!
Future development plans
In this third test, we were able to try out various changes based on valuable feedback from users, such as improving battle tempo, adding character passives, adjusting AI, overhauling UI, and introducing a skin system.
After the test, we plan to focus on adjusting character balance, improving the controllability, and expanding skin content that can bring out the individuality of each character.
We are also continuing development to refine the user experience across the UI and improve the AI's natural movements and play strategies.
We are also focusing on finalizing the work to ensure a stable level of completion before the official release by thoroughly checking bugs reported during testing.
We will be greeting you with an official release soon, so please look forward to it and give us your support. Thank you! Event Winner Announcement

<Shooting Girls> has completed its third test.
It's a smart life work, but it's not recognized as a DEMO in the library. It will be removed soon with the release.
I am looking forward to it as the level of completion has increased through this third participation.
Congratulations to the winners.

PS
You worked hard this week too.
See you again next week~
Why does it keep happening even when I reconnect?
hello.
At night, the daily temperature difference is more than 20 degrees , during the day It was a week where I was so sleepy. How was everyone's week?
Well then, let’s take a quick look at what news there was this week with Gamezzik!

🎮 [Console Controversy of the Week] Consecutive Price Increase Controversy of PS5 and PS Plus
This week, PS's subscription service PS Plus and the PS5 saw a surprise price increase .
▷ PS5 price increase
Prices for the PS5 Disc Edition and PS5 Digital Edition have increased in Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. In addition, price increases have been announced in the Middle East and Africa. The increased prices average 50 euros (80,000 won). Depending on the region and exchange rate, there has been a considerable increase of around 10-15% . Fortunately, Korea is not included in this category.
This is already the third price increase , considering that there was a global price increase in August 2022, and that Korea and Japan also increased prices in October 2024.
The reasons for the price increase include global inflation, semiconductor supply and demand imbalance, and rising logistics costs.
Some people say that in the United States, where inflation is high, there are actually no price increases. There is even a conspiracy theory that 'Trump's tariffs are being paid by other countries.' This time, the countries where the price increase occurred are those where the PS5 has a much higher market share than the Xbox, making it a ‘near-monopoly country.’
However, there are also views that the price of PS5 will increase in the United States, so it is too early to accept this claim at face value.
What's unusual is that the prices of the existing models, PS5 Disc Edition and PS5 Digital Edition, have increased, and not the new PS5 Pro model . This is the opposite of the trend seen with existing game consoles, which have lowered their prices over time through process improvements and lower unit prices of accessories. The PS5 was released in a single iteration (written as an improved version but read as a deteriorated version), and its low-quality heat pipes were pointed out. Of course, even at this time, the price did not go down, so the price resistance from users and Sony is particularly strong .
PS3 achieved extreme unit cost reduction through process improvement, function limitation, and parts replacement.
▷ Selling the console at a loss?
One of the console-related stories that is surprisingly widely misunderstood is, “Sell consoles at a loss and make a profit on game licensing fees” is one of the most misunderstood (marketed) myths out there.
This claim often comes from the 'Razor and Blade model' , namely:
Consoles (=razors) are sold at low prices or at a loss.
The idea is to generate revenue through game (=razor blade) sales, digital store commissions, and subscription models.
There was a brief period when it sold almost exclusively at a loss , which was during the very early days of the PS3, for about 4 months . (This version wasn't even released in Korea.) It was extremely expensive to produce, as it included a variety of technologies, including an expensive Cell processor, a Blu-ray drive, and a PS2 backwards compatible chip. However, because its competitor Xbox had preemptively released it at a lower price, they sold the products they had already produced at a loss in order to somehow compete. In other words, it was just an 'unavoidable choice' for competition , and Sony did not intentionally choose the 'razor-blade model'.
In the end, after only 4 months, they released an improved version > improved version > improved version that removed some of the backward compatible chips and lowered the manufacturing cost, excluding the Cell processor. They no longer did business at a loss. Naturally, they lowered the production cost to $230 in the end, and sold the PS3 at a considerable profit.
Aside from these unavoidable losses, neither Sony, Xbox, nor Nintendo have ever lost money on console sales. However, because those impressions and marketing are so ingrained in our minds, the console industry has built up an image that says, “You make a profit just by buying a console,” or, “You sell it at a loss and make money with games.”
So, you need to be careful with comments or marketing that say, 'Sell consoles at a loss and make money with games.'
▷ 30% price increase for PS Plus
Unfortunately, this includes Korea. Starting April 16, the price of the subscription service PS Plus has increased by more than 30% worldwide .
[Korea] Deluxe Plan Standard 12,900 won per month -> 19,000 won per month 3 months 35,000 won -> 3 months 54,000 won
12 months 116,100 won -> 12 months 171,000 won
For existing subscribers, the increase will not be immediate, but will be applied on the next payment date (subscription renewal) or when changing subscription plans.
Sony said of this price increase , “We will continue to provide high-quality game titles and benefits to the PlayStation Plus subscription service,” but It appears that the price has gone up without any real additional benefits .
Many users were considering canceling their subscriptions due to the huge price increase, which was almost 50% depending on the plan. For those who primarily use PS Plus for online play, there is a perfect alternative in the form of PC (Steam) that offers free online play.
For users who enjoy free games every month or use the PS Plus library, Rather than playing random free games that may not be your taste, it may be cheaper or more satisfying to buy a game you really like with a subscription fee.
Moreover, even during the PSN inaccessibility incident that occurred in February, they showed a frustrating attitude without any communication.
There are also questions about whether the service is worth the price.
One player has posted a disturbing list of sins he must have committed...
The charges are sooo ...Moist Potato Chips
🫡🫡🫡 I live each day to enjoy the game.
I love pretty girl games and construction management games!

Hello!! This is Kim Dong-han from Stove Crew .
Have you ever participated in a club activity while in college?
I'm a real ex-boyfriend , so I can't even imagine being in a club.. (present progressive)
So!! I chose this game to at least get some vicarious satisfaction .
The game I'm introducing this time
" It's a club "
I don't know, since when did it become like this..
To be honest, I didn't have high expectations when I first started (I'm not really into these types of games...)
I thought it was just a typical, typical campus-based club game.
however,
"What the... why are they all pretty..?"
Each character has its own charm
Even the voice is so vivid that you think, "This character would have this voice!"
At one point I was trying to have a serious conversation with the characters in the game.
Anyway! The game I'm introducing this time
"club"
Let’s go find your taste together~!!
*This video may contain spoilers*
Ah... why me... isn't there a reset button for life..?
I'm telling you honestly,
I also want to join a club like this and experience college life.
The game was really fun I heard it was based on a webtoon, and I immediately understood why it was made into a game.
The characters are all attractive and each has a distinct personality, so I liked that I could choose the heroine route according to my taste.
I got so immersed in it that I didn't even realize I was in a quasi-relationship
If there is one thing I regret,Since there was almost no movement between the characters, it felt like I was turning the pages of an illustration book.
The game play time is rather long, but
There are so many immersive elements that you can enjoy without realizing how much time passes!!
Ah, the game I chose for healing was the best choice of my life.
Okay, now that we're healed, let's use our brains for the next game.
The next game I'll be reviewing is a puzzle game .
Please look forward to it!!

Hello, I am Lee Ae-kyung from Stove Crew 1st Generation!
Today is the last review of March (for real)
Today, I bring you a review of 'Dr. Chatelet Faith', a book that covers medieval medicine stories.
Are you all ready to go back to medieval medical school and get some 'real' treatment?
Then let's all go get the amputation surgery~~hehe
(real madness)
Game introduction🩺
title Dr. Chatelet Faith Genre Simulation, Story Adventure originator MuccyGames Release date 2023.08The game's protagonist, Chatelet, is a graduate of the Imperial Medical College who has always believed in traditional medicine.
Chatelet, who had been on a roll with his outstanding talent and hard work, gradually encountered many situations that could not be explained by traditional medical theories.
In the midst of the clash between the innovative and traditionalist groups, Chatelet was exposed to knowledge different from traditional medicine, such as microorganisms, disinfection, and forceps hemostasis.
All of this came as a great shock to him, a man who held fast to tradition.
Should we pursue the truth or stick to tradition? The situation is reaching a climax...
How to operate🖱️
Use only the mouse. I heard that this game was originally released for mobile. So I don't use anything else but the mouse!!
Amputation surgery, drug manufacturing, bloodletting🔪
There are three games that you can play using your action points each round. 'Amputation' at school, 'Bloodletting' at the barbershop, and 'Drug Making' at home. You can earn experience points for each and obtain a certificate. As the game progresses, there are cases where you will need a beginner's qualification, so you need to earn experience points in all three games in a balanced manner.
You are given 3 action points for each round, and you spend 1 action point for each game.
It cuts pretty hard...!!
'Amputation Surgery' is a game where you have to keep the green area by repeatedly clicking the left and right mouse buttons. The more bizarre the devices you use, the more excited the audience becomes and the more money you earn. This is the game that made me feel most grateful that I wasn't born in the Middle Ages.
Well then...
'Bloodletting' is a game where you stop the cursor at the right time. You have to bleed in the green area to prevent the patient from dying. It's all good, but sometimes the clicks don't work and I end up drawing blood by mistake. (Save the patient) When the treatment is finished, I use a soldering iron to stop the bleeding.
'Medicine making' aims to balance the body fluids of patients based on the theory of the four humors. Medicine is made by adding herbs that can supplement the deficiencies in the four body fluids of phlegm, blood, yellow phlegm, and black phlegm. Since herbs alone lose their flavor, flavoring is also added.
Disinfection and suturing... This is civilization...
Since the game is easy to play, if you click well, you can easily collect money. And the more money you collect, the easier it is to unlock equipment. Since we are in the midst of medical development, new medical approaches are added as the round progresses.
For example, amputation and bleeding are done by making a wound with a knife, but when my friend Mel discovers microorganisms, she gives me a disinfectant that can kill them, and from then on, I check the patient's infection status and disinfect the instruments. Also, the method of stopping bleeding changes from herbs to suturing.
It might be an educational game...🤓
As you progress through the story, if you come across a medical concept, you can click on the word and a dictionary of the concept will appear. The contents of this dictionary are quite specific! (Like Naver Encyclopedia) It is well organized, starting from basic life science knowledge to historical content, so it feels like you are studying(?). Somehow, I feel like I am getting smarter as I play the game...
How to respond to the new trends of the times!!✝️
As you play the game, you will be presented with choices to experiment with whether to believe in traditional medicine or new medicine. Andre, who is presumed to be your rival(?), will continue to ask questions that shake the protagonist’s beliefs. Depending on how you answer, the ending branch will change. Will you stick to traditional medicine according to the will of the church and your advisor? Or will you go for new medicine that acknowledges the existence of microorganisms and performs disinfection? It’s all your choice.
Various side quests🧪
Smart Mel...
The game has five locations: a school, a house, a barbershop, a tavern, and a revolutionary hospital . Side quests occur in each space. There are side quests for each round. If you don't check them every round, you have to pay 100 gold coins in the next round to unlock them. They are not essential quests while playing the game, but you can enjoy a richer story. I enjoyed the side quests related to Mel, such as the Black Death and alchemy. If Andre is the main character's rival, Mel is his best friend. I wonder what I should do when even my best friend is following the flow of the new era.
Cute graphics🧡
It's just a normal scene of giving medicine.
Different endings depending on your choices
I got rich through bloodletting
This game has multiple endings. I haven't seen how many endings there are, but there are two types of traditional medicine and new medicine, and if a certain treatment fails, you can see another ending. (I didn't want to know...) Isn't this the charm of story adventure? What path will promising medical school talent Chatelet take? What path will you take?
Meet 'Dr. Chatelet Faith' on the stove right now!

From mobile games
Since this is a PC version of a game that was previously released on mobile, the screen ratio follows the mobile aspect ratio. It is unfortunate that it is not optimized for PC.
Awkward translation
There were some awkward parts in the translation. There were parts where the professor called Chatelet a child,,, and the condition of the tools was described as 'terrible' (maybe terrible..?).
The arduous journey to Round 22...!
The game consists of a total of 22 rounds, and in each round, you can use 3 actions to perform bloodletting, amputation surgery, and medicine making games. If you keep playing until round 22, you will start to feel bored after round 17. If you want to enjoy the game until the end, it would be less boring to do all the side quests together.
