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.

Hello, I am Kim Jeong-hoon from the first STOVE crew!
The game I'm going to review today is the keyboard key character key cap.
Today’s review has been prepared as a short-form video!
But as soon as I uploaded it, the number of views suddenly skyrocketed as if it was driven by the algorithm. What is this? I'm scared.
Then, I hope you enjoy it and I recommend you play it when you have time.
