Hello! I'm here to greet you with my first game review,Stove Crew 3rd term, Kim Jun-woo (aka. Visual Novel Master)!
I will introduce many fun, well-made games to you without embarrassing my 25 years of game-loving life,
and I hope you will look favorably upon me as I play many games under the Stove Crew umbrella.🙏🙏🙏
🎶Before we start, I'll play the ending song of Secret Curriculum.(Why play the ending song at the beginning?)🎶
(It's said to be sung by the popular VTuber HaroHa. The song turned out better than expected.
The lyrics seem to capture the emotions of the heroine, Seonhwa, in this game! )
Everyone, do you perhaps
'Visual Novel'
like this genre?
Visual Novelsare games that depict a story using text, illustrations, and CGs, and proceed by choosing options that appear during dialogue.
It's a genre where you play a story that is like a novel, literally seen through the subject.It's a genre.
It's a game genre that is like a novel, literally seen through the subject!
Secret Curriculum, which I will introduce today, is in this Visual Novel genre.
Now, shall we get into the game review in earnest!
Basic Game Information
🎮Game Title : Secret Curriculum
❤Game Genre : Visual Novel
🧭 Release Date : 2026.03.05
💰Game Price : 16,500

2024 It is the sequel to Sisters Curriculum, released on April 19th.
The heroine, Baek Seonhwa, was an un-romanceable heroine at the time
but she has taken the role of the main heroine in the sequel, Secret Curriculum.
This main heroine, Baek Seonhwa, is the 'mother' of the heroines from the previous game, Sisters Curriculum.
"Mother"...That's right... It was released with the unconventional title of a married woman (former) visual novel.

So, shall we delve into the detailed game content of this terrifying concept?

📃 Game Content
It starts with the protagonist, a university student, looking for a tutoring job.
He ends up tutoring at a magnificent house that reminds one of Parasite.

Then he meets the heroine, Baek Seonhwa, who is prone to over-communication.

This is Yu Yuri, my future daughter and student, who is retaking her college entrance exams.
This is Yu Yuri, my future daughter and student, who is retaking her college entrance exams.
I guess I won't pay much attention to her this time.
(She's un-romanceable anyway... If you want to romance her, go to the previous game!)
Anyway, while diligently tutoring, the protagonist goes to use the bathroom...
What a scoundrel.
Following the cliché, a lucky pervert event occurs where he sees the heroine naked.
( He actually got reported. )
In the end, the game ends with a prison sentence after going to the police station...
But Baek Seonhwa intervenes,
and the police leave.
One day, the protagonist goes on a field trip to his university with his student and her mother.
It turns out the mother and he were alumni.
It turns out the mother and he were alumni.
This leads to them rapidly growing closer...
He also meets Yuri's older sister, Yeonhee, at the university
and learns that they come from a fatherless household.
As in the previous game, not only the relationship with Seonhwa,
but also a lot of story time is dedicated to improving the relationship between these two sisters.
( So, who is the mother among the three? )
After that, various things happen...
He gets accidentally crushed during a sports game... (Hehehe...)
While shopping for clothes, it happens to be a 'Dongtan look'... (Hehehe...)
He escorts the mother, who is the head of a company... (Hehehe...)
They drink together...
( Cheers to your eyes, I'm drunk on you )
(ㅠㅠ)
Will our protagonist
be able to reconcile the two daughters, gain their approval, and end up well with their mother?!
(It's not a dad joke!)
Story-wise,
the conflict with the daughters that naturally arises during the process of getting closer to Seonhwa was really tough...
Like in Sisters Curriculum, here too, by arbitrarily 'romancing' the daughters,'romancing'we scratch their hearts.
("I'm younger!")
("You're the daughter, so of course that's true...")
("You're the daughter, so of course that's true...")
Since the two daughters' charms were shown a lot in the previous game,
I thought the focus would be entirely on the mother, but the daughters also have a surprisingly high story weight.
I think it was a choice for the sake of story completeness.
Is it a consideration for those who haven't played the previous game?
💯Overall Review and Conclusion
An overwhelming service work with a unique premise
A married woman pure love visual novel
It's the first game I've ever encountered with this concept.
Let's take a look at the pros and cons.
💯Pros💯
1. A synopsis that's hard to resist
I started this game solely for the concept of a married woman's pure love.
I played the previous game because of this game too (I'll post a review of the previous game if I have time.)
2. High-quality service scenes, as expected from a 19+ game
As it's a game targeted at men, high-quality service scenes are included.
3. The main heroine's outfits
The main heroine, Seonhwa's, outfits change constantly.
From casual wear, suits, and sportswear for daily life,
as well as service-oriented outfits like bunny girl, Dongtan look, and maid outfits...
She appears in such a variety of outfits that it feels like the developers put a lot of effort into bringing the character Baek Seonhwa to life.
They put a lot of effort into bringing the character Baek Seonhwa to life.
It feels like they put effort into bringing the character Baek Seonhwa to life.
( If I upload them, I'll get banned, so please check them in the game! )
4. Understandable even without playing the previous game
Prequels, sequels, or side stories like these
are often incomprehensible without playing the previous game.
However, Secret Curriculum is not like that!
It just flows smoothly.
5. Realism of the story
This is partly a pro and partly a con.
I'll discuss it more in the cons section later,
but I've put it in the pros for now because of the effort to add a degree of realism to the story.

🍞Cons🍞
1. Lack of realism in the story
You might ask why it's a con when I just called it a pro.
Actually, it is a con!
Earlier, it was just for the effort points~!
The process of falling in love and getting closer to Seonhwa was too rushed.
It felt similar to the movie 'Your Name'.
Also, the process of persuading the daughters feels a bit forced.
Overall, there were disappointing details.
2. Quantity of service scenes
This might be my own greed, wishing there were more.
Considering the price, I felt a bit greedy haha.
Summary Score (out of 5 / 1: ♥ / 0.5: ♡)
Story : ♥♥♥♥
(A compelling premise that makes you forget the lacking details)
Art Style: ♥♥♥♥♥
(Will you believe me if I say I fell in love with the art..?)
Sound : ♥♥♥♥
(The song collaborated with a VTuber is great! Other music is average.)
Content : ♥♥♥
(It's a linear visual novel, so there wasn't much content, but there are extra stories, so check them out!)
Convenience : ♥♥♥♥♥
(The 'Shall we go to that conversation from the log?' feature is great! See service scenes 200 times!)
Married Woman : ♥♥♥♥♥
(The characterization as a married woman is a bit disappointing, but it's the best first married woman pure love game!)

*This is a review from a beginner who has never played horror/mystery games before, so please read with caution.*
(Ending shot)
📌One-line summary: A decent game for horror game enthusiasts.
<The Kindergarten of Half-Half: The more fun the game is, the longer the nose gets. Ttwa's overall review>
Nose length: 3.0cm / 5.0cm
Despite being a complete scaredy-cat, the reason I started this game was because the clumsy monsters, which looked like they were made of clay by a child, blended well with the kindergarten atmosphere. It turns out it was already a well-known game, with millions of views on YouTube.
🎮 Controls & Puzzles: As an introductory game lighter than the homage work 'Poppy Playtime', Poppy requires complex movements with both hands, whereas this game uses drone control to press buttons, making it feel much simpler. The drone synchronization time can be a bit slow and boring, but the barrier to entry is low for beginners, so I didn't feel like 'this is too difficult'. However, for a beginner in escape rooms, the puzzles sometimes lacked intuitiveness, requiring frequent use of guides. Also, unlike the first game, the second game has repetitive mini-games, which made it somewhat dull, a bit of a letdown.(Drone screenshot from Part 1)
👁Story & Horror Elements:
*Spoiler Warning*
Instead of frequent jump scares, there are many scenes where the monsters leave traces as they pass by. Therefore, the psychological pressure when walking through dark spaces was much greater than when encountering the monsters. However, the yellow eyes of the pink bird (Ophila Bird), which appeared following the first game, were so scary that I turned off the game for a bit when it appeared.
🏁 Conclusion: While the charming character design and tension are excellent, from my perspective accustomed to AAA-level large-scale games, I gave it a 3.0 due to the somewhat unfriendly guidance for beginners, the slow drone controls, and the boredom from repetitive content.
🎯 Recommended for:
- Those who like grotesque and unique character designs
- Those whose taste is following the interesting stories unique to indie games
Not recommended for these people!
- Those who dislike the psychological pressure from dark spaces
This concludes my post, with screenshots I've adjusted because I was scared for you.
my resolution on the game keeps affecting my other apps thats open like chrome or roblox, it didnt before but now it makes it zoom in, the first one is how it used to be, but now its the second one when I alt tab from cf app its so zoomed in? can someone help? how to fix this?
