Have you achieved anything?

hello!

This is Stove Crew 1st generation Jo Hye-bin! ☺️

today!!!

At first it looked cute and peaceful, but...

If you know it, it's totally creepy

I'd like to introduce a dark emotional game!!

Exactly...!!

🐰🩸 Before The Night 🩸🐰!!

Me again like this!!

Cute but scary,

cute but crazy

I really love games,,,

This is seriously... I got goosebumps while playing it....

So today’s review is!!

Focusing on story + worldview + game structure + play tips !

Perfect for beginners too!

Prepared to help you understand and immerse yourself!!

'Before the Night' officially released by CFK

This work was developed by the domestic one-person indie developer 'Uneducated Game Studio' .

It was also released in Korea as a Nintendo Switch version on September 28, 2023!

Of course, Korean subtitles are supported,

The fact that it received a rating of not suitable for minors

Something already feels off, doesn't it...?

This game is not just a simple horror game.

In a world where the status of animals and humans has completely changed,

The user becomes a pet human named 'Lisa'.

To revive my animal friend 'Alice'

You must break the taboo and pick the flower of life 🌸

From that very moment, Lisa's peaceful world collapsed,

The world begins to be covered with madness and death.

🎮 The game progresses through a puzzle-based adventure structure!

The basics of the puzzle are “throw, dodge, exchange, and judge.”

To open a door, you must throw the required item (e.g. key, head, meat, etc.).

You can obtain the necessary items by bartering with NPCs or collecting them from various locations on the map.

Sometimes, if you don't get that item before night falls,

There are cases where you can't get it at all,

It requires time management + navigation + memory .

🌸 And! The most important material in this game, 'Flower of Life'

This flower is in the animal world

“Social infrastructure + object of faith + material of resurrection”

It has three roles.

So breaking this isn't just a matter of gathering resources,

It is a full-scale challenge to this world and an intrusion into the realm of the gods .

As you pick flowers, the surroundings become darker and night approaches.

At night, the animals go crazy,

The road becomes dangerous,

The puzzles become more difficult.

So what stage is it?

The dilemma of “Should I pick the flowers now?” arises.

You have to take into account all of the routes, exchanges, puzzle paths, etc.

This is really exciting and fun.

The puzzle itself feels deeply connected to the world view!

🌙 And... when the night really comes...

The atmosphere of this game changes 180 degrees.

During the day, there are warm dot graphics, a peaceful village in pastel tones,

It's a total 'healing' movie where animal friends walk down the street humming songs.

But when you pick the flower of life and time passes...

Everything falls apart.

The animals' pupils are distorted

The background darkens and blood is sprayed.

The sound is distorted

The music stops,

Cute characters start to approach like nightmares

Although it's a dot graphic, it conveys emotions very well!

Changes in eyes , distortions in facial expressions , strangely slow motions , etc.
I really liked the scene direction that cleverly pressured the player's psychology ♥️

And the sound design is also strong.
Distorted laughter at night, the sound of quietly approaching footsteps, subtly altered music…
All of these elements keep the tension constant.

And the monsterized animals are unconditionally   I'm chasing you. 😨

From then on, I felt like I was being chased while solving the puzzle.

If you don't make choices and focus, you'll die quickly!

💀 What will the death and reset structure be like?

This game is “If you die once, you start from the beginning of that stage.”

You'll lose all your items and have to start over from the beginning.

However, if you clear the stage, you can move on to the next area.

Items brought from previous areas will remain .

So it's kind of like a metroidvania

A structure that allows you to utilize what you have obtained in the past in the future !

This is a lot more fun than you might think!

Key tips I felt while playing the game myself! 🍯

✅ 1. Carrots are life!

Carrots are the basic commodity for almost all exchanges. Get as many as you can!

✅ 2. Do everything you can during the day!

At night, NPCs turn into monsters and won't listen to you. It's essential to secure routes and items during the day!

✅ 3. Pick the flower of life carefully!

If you miscalculate the order and position, you will get stuck and have to reset 😭

🎨 And the art style of this game is really one word

“Hybrid” itself!

During the day, it feels lovely, like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley .

At night, it transforms into a 《Biohazard》 + 《Angels of Slaughter》 feeling.

Cuteness and madness, static emotion and indiscriminate fear.

Intersecting in the same space...

This really sticks in my mind.

"The message this game is trying to convey"

The setting of 'animals raising humans' is not simply a reversed ecosystem,

It shows a twisted view of how humans treat their pets in reality.

What we do unintentionally

'Violence in the name of love'
Grotesquely

It also feels like you're criticizing it in a flippant way.

And Lisa tries to save Alice until the end

That feeling...
Sometimes it's heartbreaking, sometimes it's madness.

“Is love really about picking flowers for someone?”

“Isn’t that a selfish desire?”

Overall Rating: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

The difficulty itself is not difficult once you get used to it, but
In the beginning, the controls are a bit unfamiliar, and route exploration is very free, so you may get lost!!

But this   The experience of 'getting lost' itself is part of the fear.

It's more immersive because it works🩸

✅It’s rare to find a game where puzzles and horror are so closely intertwined.

✅ A horror production that will make you panic if you let your guard down because of its cute appearance

✅Short but deeply immersive, cruel and beautiful worldview

🔥Unconditionally recommended to these people!

🩸For those looking for a weird and bizarre game!

🩸Play time: 4~5 hours, for those who want to immerse themselves in the game and finish it in one go!

🩸For those who love madness in cute things and philosophical messages!

🐰 Before The Night is not just a game.

It's a brutal fairy tale of friendship and death, guilt and survival.

Are you ready to pick some flowers?

Well then, it's time to step into the darkness with Lisa.

Thank you for reading the long text 🩷

Hello, today I looked into how much I spent on LoA.

I'll check how many windows and pillars I have in my Smage.

I was originally going to turn on LoA, but I'm so tired from my business trip that I can't turn it on.

So, I ask for your understanding as I will keep today's content brief.

Lost Ark Play Time: 4153 hours

Please note that the number of days shown there is not the period since the start.

Total play time converted to 24 hours.

'How much would it have been if I lived in Akrasia 24 hours a day?'

I started playing LoA in 2021, so it's less than I thought.

I think it's because there are many periods of time when I'm not connected while playing other games.

At some point, I stopped doing barrack raids right away.

It's not that I've lost interest or enjoyment in LoA, but rather that I've found a way to play the game at my own pace.

I don't like the fact that the weekly homework increases and I have to raise the barracks by 6.

The mindset is that if you need gold so badly, you'd rather trade it in cash.

But since I only did spec ups for my main character, I didn't need that much gold.

If you just do your main character's homework well, you can save up enough money to cover 6 levels of bone marrow.

Still, it's amazing that I've been stuck with one game for over 4000 hours.

Is it because I'm originally a gamer and moved around a lot?

In fact, it is the longest period of time among games that LoA has been played continuously without stopping.

Anyway, I plan to keep extending this time until my affection runs out.

There's a lot of talk about it these days, but it's a game that holds a lot of my memories.

Lost Ark Payment Information: 6,258,000 won

Oh my... I don't think I've used that much for an RPG game, but I was surprised to see that I used more than I thought.

It's surprising that the play time is less than expected and the actual amount of money is more than expected.

I thought it would be at most 400 to 500, but I never imagined 600.

However, since it is an amount accumulated over a long period of time, it may not be as much as you think.

If you've been using it for 4 years... even if you divide it by 48 months, it's still about 130,000 won per month.

You can think of it as purchasing one full package roughly every month.

I was always wondering where my part-time job salary went, and it turned out to be LoA.

Well, there was a time when I bought all the avatars that came out, or when I was desperate for gold and spent a lot of it on the currency exchange.

I also bought the card package and crystals to fully purchase the Marishop pre-game pack.

Looking back, it doesn't seem like such a strange amount.

I don't really feel sorry about it or anything.

Because I've been enjoying playing LoA so far.

I think the memories and sense of accomplishment I get from LoA are worth more than that amount of money.

Also, the only hobby I have other than games is watching movies, and if I get a discount, it doesn't cost much.

I don't drink unless my friends call me... If you think about it, I spent about 200,000 won a month on hobbies and entertainment...?

It might not be as high an amount as you think...?

It was an ideal self-rationalization.

I did some calculations based on a post I happened to see on Inven, and there are a lot of things that are different from what I expected.

I hope that in a year or two, the day will come when I can put in that code and get paid.

For that to happen, Loa needs to get healthy first.

There's a live broadcast notice for next Tuesday, what kind of story will it be?

I will wait with anticipation.

Then I'll see you tomorrow with a more proper diary.

Have you already purchased her from Random Chat or are you interested in purchasing her?

So, just remember one thing.

As soon as the game starts, release the 'Start' button!

1. Make sure to use the pre-release mode.

The game is divided into two modes.

'Original Mode' that follows the original story

'Miyeonshi Mode', a new re-write of the original characters and story

But since it's a game based on a webtoon story, shouldn't the original mode come first?

Let me say this boldly.

This game's main body is the pre-release mode, which is like DLC.

Although the original mode has its shortcomings, the pre-release mode is more fun and better made.

Of course, it's a matter of personal preference.

But I'm sure many of you who have played this game will agree.

Play 'Uncensored Mode' without asking any questions.

The original mode is a bright and hopeful emotional pre-game mode that clears everything.

If you're wondering, 'I want to get a taste of the remaining content,' or 'Is there a dark story?', you can just go in.

"Isn't that too much? Since the original webtoon is such a masterpiece, wouldn't it have made a game out of it?"

I've been reading this webtoon since the first episode came out, with all my heart.

It's a period of almost seven years.

I usually don't say this, but I regret the time I spent watching the original.

No matter how well this original work is polished in the game, the problem will never be fixed.

That is, the original mode contains a lot of the unpleasantness of the original.

Although they did a good job of twisting the original parts and setting up routes where each heroine becomes entangled, to be honest, it's not well-made.

I couldn't resolve the unpleasantness that started to come out from the middle of the webtoon.

No amount of seasoning can save a ruined dish.

There is no choice but to tear it down and build anew.

This is the Miyeonsi mode that overturned and reborn the IP of 'Her from Random Chat' in the Tales Shop style.

What's the conclusion?

I know the original! I've already seen it, so go into pre-release mode.

I don't know the original! If you don't know, you don't have to watch it in the future, so just go into pre-release mode.

I, Kim Yong-Hyeon , strongly recommend this.

2. No, but how much is it?

I will list the good and bad points of the original mode that I felt.

I feel like I'm being too critical, but I'm going to be a little stronger today.

Good things about the original mode:

- The content volume is huge.

- A lot of work went into it, with dubbing for most characters and NPC dialogue changing according to the story.

Disappointing things about the original mode:

- The dialogue and dubbing are so awkward. Personally, I felt like the speech, dialogue, and voice were all awkward.

- Honestly, I don't know about the illustrations either. The characters feel too uniform.

- There are so many curses in the dialogue that it's embarrassing to listen to.

- The characters’ emotional lines and development lack plausibility.

- It's so annoying to move around and talk on the map, and the overall length is so long that it's boring. (Especially the public route is so long)

- The protagonist's way of thinking is so unpleasant that it's hard to watch.

- I clearly turned on the light to heal, but the atmosphere is too dark. It's not like there's a profound return value to the darkness.

It's not that I'm just pouring out harsh words because I'm resentful of the original work.

I'm actually quite honest when it comes to evaluating games.

[Her in Random Chat] I feel like the original mod didn't make the game well enough to cover up the aftereffects of the original.

This part is greatly improved in the pre-release mode.

Instead of trying to revive a ruined dish, I created one from scratch.

As the recent popular meme goes, "Normalization of [Random Chat's Her] by Tales Shop" is a perfect fit.

So what changes have occurred in the pre-release mode?

1. Dubbing: The voice actors have been possessed by a god.

Perhaps because the four heroines are the main characters, the awkwardness felt from the supporting actors has completely disappeared.

I think the feel of the dialogue may have also played a part.

The original mod had too many curse words and other words that were too embarrassing to say.

But even putting that aside, listening to the voice actors' voices in the pre-release mode is ear-melting.

This can't be happening unless you're possessed by a god.

I'm a fairly thick-skinned person, but I can count on one hand the number of people I've met.

2. Story: It's a somewhat unexpected but 'unprecedented' development.

Honestly, how many people would consider perfect probability or reality when making a prediction?

I think most people don't mind as long as it's not artificial enough to hurt their feelings.

What if the story begins with the protagonist and heroine meeting 'by a ridiculous coincidence' at the beginning of the game?

I watch with excitement, thinking, 'Oh, so that's how it starts?'

The pre-teen mode is, as expected from a pre-teen mode, full of these emotions.

Everything is done with a hopeful and somewhat random tone, making the user very excited.

This is the excitement that you can't feel in reality, you're imagining it in order to feel it.

It was really good in that respect.

In addition, it shows progress in illustrations and fine details.

The most important heroine's route story also has a quality that is on a whole other level than the original mode.

In other words, there is no reason not to enjoy the pre-release mode!

3. Go into the heroine review

Up to this point, there have been mixed reviews as to why this game should be in 'pre-game mode'.

I'm embarrassed because I feel like I got so seriously involved.

But you all know that reviews that are overly immersive are actually true, right?

From here on, I will review the heroine.

In fact, I don't need to explain how the pre-screening process works, right?

This game is not that different from other similar games in terms of detail, which makes it even more so.

So what's left to review?

It's the character.

Without giving any spoilers, I will point out the types, personalities, and charms of the characters.

This is enough to help you decide which character to target for your first attack.

3-1. Park Ha-min, True Friend's Emotions

My relationship with Park Ha-min starts off with a friendly, give-and-take feeling between girlfriends.

The first thing you encounter is the situation of 'getting dizzy while playing a game in a PC room' .

The protagonist gets into a huge argument with her and ends up losing everything.

But what is the absolute truth across the East and the West, past and present?

"If you're pretty, everything is forgiven."

The protagonist is captivated by Ha-min's appearance and decides to become friends with him.

After that, he starts approaching her under the pretense of asking her to tell him about the game, and they gradually become closer.

If you like the feeling of 'Dating a super pretty girlfriend who likes games?!', then you can run right now.

It's a real story where they start off bickering and being rough around the edges and then gradually fall for each other.

This feeling... is a taste that only those who know it know.

3-2. Yuri Lee, the true childhood friend attribute

A classic childhood friend setting, you can get the feel of it just by hearing it, right?

Yuri Lee is a female friend who has been close to me since middle school and is known as the 'one who doesn't look like a girl'.

Of course, this is based on the main character.

What kind of setting would be most appropriate for this type of character?

It's a cliché of clichés, but it's a setting that guarantees box office success when it appears.

'I take good care of the main character and I secretly like him!'

'But the indifferent protagonist doesn't know that!'

'And then, due to some incident, they start to fall for each other!'

'Once the angle is revealed, the heroine starts to shower us with plotting!'

This is the familiar taste of 'The taste of familiarity is scary'.

A childhood friend who was shy, but then came at me like a bulldozer, looking only at me when I showed my side?

I've put in only the most realistic and delicious settings.

For reference, my first progression route was the Yuri route.

I've been living alone for about 2-3 years now, and it's been a while since I felt excited.

3-3. Yoon Seong-ah, the girl from random chat

The name of this game and the original title, 'Her in Random Chat', refers to Yoon Seong-ah.

However, in the original work, the emotion that the random chat method gave could not be completely erased.

After all, the social perception of random chatting is inevitable.

The moment you start getting seriously involved, it's inevitable that you'll feel uneasy and uncomfortable.

The original route that I criticized so much above, but Yoon Seong-ah's route, was also quite well-received.

I played it pretty well, but it was hard to completely erase the feeling of those four random chat letters.

But in the pre-teen route, it was solved very well.

Random chatting has appeared, and encounters are triggered by this, but it doesn't feel unpleasant at all.

You go to a concert hall and start chatting with people within 1km of you.

After chatting for a while, you get to know each other and quickly move on to real-life stories.

This is a story about two people becoming closer through a series of mysterious encounters.

It's even more exciting because there's a love triangle instigator here who causes a mess between the two.

I liked how the strange conflict and misunderstanding between the main character and Seong-ah was expressed smoothly and not too harshly.

If you're curious about a chance encounter that could appear in an animation and the romance that begins from it, I recommend this.

I really like the route because Yoon Seong-ah's personality is refreshing and straightforward.

3-4. Seol-ri-ra, a strange person suddenly asked me to date him

A man wearing a puppet mask asks the main character out.

The protagonist, who was thirsty for love, readily accepts this.

Inside that doll was a pretty girl who you could trust even if she was in love.

I knew it was a woman's voice, but it was unexpected.

This is how the relationship between the protagonist and Seol-ri-ra begins.

You may think this is some kind of absurd development, but it really is.

The above Seong-Ah route is quite coincidental, but this one goes three steps further.

Here I will bring up one thing I said above.

Even stories like this don't matter as long as they are 'pretty' and artificial.

Because Miyeonsi is a world where you can experience fantasy romance.

This kind of beginning is the type that would never happen in reality, so I find it appealing.

Lyra's openly four-dimensional personality is also a charming point.

If there are four heroines in a fantasy novel, there has to be at least one character like this.

'A heroine with a story in a fourth dimension, her story is unraveled thanks to the main character.'

Wow... this is really delicious.

I won't say it's a spoiler, but the setting surrounding Lyra and the main character was also fascinating.

I think it clearly shows that their hearts are slowly growing closer to each other.

The most important emotional line in a story is described to the end.

I highly recommend it.

5. Overall Review

The reason why heroine reviews get longer as they go from Ha-min to Lira is because of the complexity of their characters and settings.

When you say 'This is it!' for Ha Min or Yuri, you can tell right away, but that's not the case for Seong Ah and Lira.

I didn't write this long because I particularly like the two below more.

This game really brought me a lot of emotions.

An original mod that captures the original's unpleasantness so well

A pre-release mode that lets you release this smoothly

Heroines who provide various healing with their own charms

Although this review started off with harsh criticism, it actually gave me enough healing.

But, honestly, 40,000 won is too expensive for this pre-release mode.

I recommend that you bring your discount coupon with you to enjoy the maximum discount.

The reason it's so expensive is because of the massive volume of the original mod.

The volume isn't that small in pre-release mode, so it's actually a reasonable price.

However, as someone who rejects the original mod, I would like to recommend purchasing it with at least 30% off and other coupons attached.

After a huge disappointment, this game gave me more healing than ever.

But it's a game that I hesitate to buy at regular price.

This is a game that I would definitely recommend you buy and play in 'Unreleased Mode' if you get a certain amount of discount.
