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.
