First, some news: Participation in PlayXpo has been confirmed with the games we've been developing! (May 21st - May 24th) The team name is Abyssual Star, the same as the circle!

We judged it too difficult to create the story part of this new game project within just two weeks of its production, so it was made into a mini-game where you earn points by destroying targets!

You control it with the arrow keys and mouse. We plan to include WASD controls in the demo version later. There will also be a small prize giveaway event for those who enjoy the demo.

Well then, I'll slowly post the development progress!

Hello.
This is Uggyeolham, writing my second game review after French Connection.
The Curriculum series unfolds its story in the order of Sisters Curriculum → Sisters Curriculum After Story → Secret Curriculum.
Secret Curriculum, which is effectively the last one, is Baek Seon-hwa's solo route, the mother's route from Sisters Curriculum, so you can think of it as a separate story.
“Having gone through the process of being a teacher, I learned love and completed my family.”
This is a very fitting statement for this game.
The game itself is beyond question, and I don't think there's any reason to write feedback.
While French Connection was 2% lacking, the Curriculum series, with its narrative, exciting story development, and the amazing voice acting, exceeded that 2% and overflowed. The Curriculum series has largely compensated for its shortcomings, and instead, a private tutor goes to tutor and becomes lovers with the student.
It's a work that has made an ordinary story,
which exists somewhere but isn't special,
into something enjoyable.
The characters' narratives were sturdier and more solid than I expected, and the Curriculum series' chewy story progression, which makes you want to see the conclusion of the stories you were curious about in the later after stories, was a work that caught my eye.
Honestly, if you just look at the plot, you might think there's nothing special about it, but the core of this game is its gameplay that makes you want to quickly move to the next episode to see the next story.
This is the part I want to praise the most.
"Familiar tastes are frightening."
Ramen is also the most basic dish(?), and the taste changes depending on who cooks it, and I think this game is similar.
The fact that I was drawn to write a second review by the buildup of the narrative, the chewy story, and the desire to see the end of this game's story and conclusion, which is such an ordinary story, seems to be the reason.
Wajajak Games is not a company to be underestimated.
First, Woo Yeon-hee's route in Sisters Curriculum.
She loves the protagonist, but she's sometimes like a friend, sometimes like a child, and sometimes straightforward, an unpredictable type, but that's her charm.
In her past, she lived as her father's puppet, fulfilling what her father couldn't achieve, as a substitute for her father at home.
Her own choices, heart, and emotions were ignored, and she lived as her father wanted, killing everything within her.
Meeting the protagonist, who accepted her whining and did as she pleased, she fell in love.
The ending of After Story, where the protagonist follows Yeon-hee abroad as an exchange student and lives there, and the ending where Yeon-hee respects her own choices and sees her as a person, not a tool, was a fitting conclusion to Yeon-hee's narrative.
(But honestly, the development of After Story is a bit disappointing...)
This is Woo Yu-ri's route.
She loves the protagonist blindly and relies on him a lot.
Honestly, the ending of Sisters Curriculum was fun, but the story became somewhat boring in After Story. However, the story progressed with the theme of a bucket list, and I was immersed in watching her check off the small things she wanted to do one by one.
(You've all written one at least once when you were young, right? Bucket lists ㅋㅋ)
And at the end of After Story, she changes her bucket list to 101, saying she will now write down what she wants to do.
Yuri's narrative was that she had achieved nothing on her own.
In her past home, her father only paid attention to Yeon-hee, and Yuri was neglected.
She first liked drawing.
Her older sister Yeon-hee took everything away.
And Yuri was naturally weak.
In such a home, Yuri's only sanctuary was her room.
She closed herself off from such a life and confined herself to her room.
However, after meeting the protagonist, who took Yuri around and let her do things by her own choice, Yuri felt a sense of accomplishment and developed feelings for him because he made her do something on her own, and they became lovers.
In that sense, writing down what she wants to do from now on seems like a fitting ending for Yuri's narrative.
And finally, the true heroine, Baek Seon-hwa's route - Secret Curriculum.
This will be the main review for this game.
• Divorced woman.
• A housewife who continued her marriage without being loved by her husband.
• A famous and capable CEO in the design field.
The second point seems to be the most important narrative we need to look at.
She gets divorced and raises two children alone.
However, as explained earlier, the father is trash.
He saw Yeon-hee only as a tool, and Yuri was neglected.
The mother did not receive the attention and love she deserved as a couple.
Because she is a mother, but also a woman.
Simply because she is a capable and famous CEO.
Her family comes second, and she spends 364 days a year overseas.
Her father was only interested in work, power, and his position.
In that regard, Baek Seon-hwa felt the protagonist looking at her and drawing out the emotions she had forgotten, allowing her to feel them again.
The emotion of love.
Realizing that she too was someone who could be loved like this.
As expected from Secret Plus, the inclusion of R-19 elements enhances immersion and completes the character of Baek Seon-hwa, who wanted to be loved and receive attention as a woman.
Our mother, who works hard, even doing cosplay...
Concluding the review.
I still believe it was a game I don't regret playing.
Wajajak Games is truly not a company to be underestimated.
I have high expectations for their future games.
Thank you for reading my short review.
I will return with Wajajak Games' Who's is Manito later.
(I've been buying games from this company since French Connection, and I can't stop playing them lol)
You will release Secret Curriculum After Story, right?
No, you absolutely must.
Day 1 of wishing for After Story
────────────────────
Baek Seon-hwa Route After Story, written out of regret
• This novel is not official and is written solely out of personal regret.
「4 Years of Waiting, and the Most Perfect Answer」
​“You passed.”
​It was 4 years spent waiting for those words. After discharge from the military, returning to university, and studying major textbooks and design tools while reducing sleep. The reason I suffered from overwork to the point of dizziness, obtained certifications, and swept away at contests was not simply because I was desperate for a job.
​When I stood by her side, I wanted to make it so that no one could even utter the words 'unworthy of you' when they looked at us.
​And I wanted to be able to stand before her with confidence.
​#1. The Broken Boundary
And it was a quiet Saturday, with the interview just around the corner.
“Ugh... What is it, my vision is blurry..”
The extreme fatigue I've been feeling lately.
Eyelids that feel like they're weighed down by lead.
“I have to hold on... If I collapse here, I'm not myself...”
I hardened my resolve.
Because I can do anything for her.
Thinking that, I opened a can of caffeinated drink from the refrigerator and drank it in one go.
“Kuh...”
The refreshing carbonation moistened my throat, and the caffeine revitalized my heart.
“Shall we leave now?”
Today is the day I have a date with my mother.
She said she would treat me to something nourishing because the interview is approaching.
As I entered the house, my mother greeted me.
“Oh my? You're here already? So fast... Oh, Teacher, your nose is bleeding!!”
My mother's expression was filled with surprise.
“Yes..?”
With these words, I lost consciousness.
​Afterward, what woke me up was the smell of disinfectant and the faint breathing sound from beside me. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Seon-hwa's face, who had put aside her dignity as CEO and had eyes swollen like a child's.
​“...Why did you overdo it like this? Like a fool. Someone like you, Teacher... I can support you with any kind of spec...”
​Her voice was trembling. I raised my hand with the IV needle still in it and covered her cold hand.
​“Yuri told me. That reality is cold. In the end, the one who gets hurt is the mother.”
“......!”
“I would rather die than see you get hurt because of me. I wanted to be a man who could stand beside you with confidence, not just a lucky kid, as the lover of ‘CEO Baek Seon-hwa’.”
​Did my sincerity reach her? Her face instantly turned bright red. For her, who was usually composed, to be flustered like this. She buried her face in my chest and shed tears.
“You really... are a fool... a fool... a fool....”
I held her without a word.
Because an indescribable emotion flowed into me.
​#2. Feast of Revelation
​On my first payday after joining the company, I gathered my family in the same place as 4 years ago. The location was the same high-class restaurant. But this time, the reservation was under my name, not hers.
​Yuri and Yeon-hee were wielding their forks, not knowing why. I quietly took out my employee ID from my pocket and placed it in the center of the table.
“Yuri, you said something like that before, didn't you? That our relationship would hurt Mom.”
“...Why are you suddenly talking about that?”
​Yuri's eyes wavered. I tapped my employee ID and continued.
​“So, I joined Mom's company. This 'reality' you're worried about, this is my first step. The reason I collapsed from overwork last time was because I was preparing for this.”
​For a moment, silence fell over the dining table. Tears welled up in the eyes of the sharp-tongued Yuri, and then they began to fall.
“Seriously... You're so annoying. Who told you to do all that? Just being by my side would have been enough...”
Yeon-hee, next to her, tried to lighten the mood by saying, “Oh~ As expected! You're on another level!” but Yuri kept her head down for a long time, her shoulders shaking.
​#3. The Period, A New Beginning
​As it was time for dessert, the restaurant lights began to dim one by one. In the darkness, the chef respectfully presented a dish. The name of the dish, illuminated by the soft light, was ‘Eterno’.
​Love, and eternity.
​I stood up and turned towards her. My heart pounded so loudly that I could hear it in my ears. I took out the ring case I had been holding in my heart for 4 years from my pocket.
“Seon-hwa.”
​The sparkling diamond shattered under the light. She was already trembling with her lips, holding back tears.
“I intend to end the time I spent hiding behind you, calling you ‘Mother’. I want to live as a husband who protects you from now on. Seon-hwa, will you marry me?”
​A moment later, she extended her trembling hand. Her face, tear-streaked but smiling brightly, was more perfect than any design I had ever seen in my life.
“Yes... gladly.”
​The moment I slipped the ring onto her finger, Yeon-hee and Yuri, who had been watching from the side, sniffled and said,
“Oh, really... It took you long enough, you turtle couple!”
​Yeon-hee's cheers, Yuri's grumbling, and Seon-hwa sharing warmth in my arms. The anxious boy from 4 years ago was gone. Before me, only a brilliant future with her awaited.
Love is about filling each other's shortcomings.
Even a teacher doesn't know everything.
At first, he was a tutor, but later he learned love and started a family.
This is the end of my story.

■ The second pre-season begins filled with various things to enjoy…New combatant ‘Diana’ and new combat content unveiled

■ Preview underway to experience the Chaos of Galactic Disaster Season 3 in advance and obtain save data

■ Events with abundant rewards to commemorate the pre-season and addition of new combatants underway

Smilegate, serviced by Super Creative, announced on the 9th (Thu) that ‘Chaos Zero Nightmare’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘Kazena’), a dark fantasy roguelike RPG (Role-Playing Game), has introduced a new combatant ‘Diana’ and proceeded with a pre-season update including new content ‘Total War’.

Diana is a ‘Hunter’ class combatant with the ‘Passion’ attribute, specialized in accumulating damage by relentlessly pressuring enemies. Diana can discard her own cards to activate ‘Resonance’ and ‘Rest’ effects. Resonance allows her to inflict additional damage on enemies each time a card is discarded, and Rest allows strategic use, such as activating other Rest keywords by discarding cards with the Rest keyword. The new partner ‘Sophia’, added along with Diana, provides an effect where the assigned combatant performs an additional attack when discarding cards with specific keywords.

New content ‘Total War’ has also been updated. Total War is content where you can obtain rewards by re-fighting boss monsters encountered in the Great Rift. A total of 3 types of bosses appear, and you can play by forming a total of 3 teams, with one team per boss.

During this pre-season period, in addition to this, a preview will be held to experience the season Chaos of ‘Season 3 Song of the Stars Echoing in the Galaxy’, the next season of Galactic Disaster, in advance and obtain save data. The partner system will undergo overall improvements, and a combatant special lobby and new Unigram story will also be added.

Meanwhile, various events are being held to commemorate the pre-season and new combatant update. First, ‘Operation Fire Break’, which runs until the 29th, is an event where you play Chaos and obtain rewards. You can activate ‘Phase Projection’ effects that aid in combat by consuming the save data of your combatants, and you can obtain various materials that help with growth, including crystals, as rewards.

‘Love Adorned on the Wingtips’ is an event commemorating the update of the new combatant Diana, where you can solve incidents with Diana and obtain limited-time achievements and rewards. In addition, for the pre-event signifying the half-anniversary, ‘Half Anniversary’, a special information page will be opened, and rewards can be obtained based on Ether consumption.

Smilegate’s Business Director Kim Ju-hyung said, “For this pre-season, we have prepared more diverse enjoyable content and events than the previous pre-season so that you can have a fun time. We ask for your anticipation for the upcoming Half Anniversary event and Season 3 ‘Song of the Stars Echoing in the Galaxy’.”

Meanwhile, additional information about Kazena can be found on the official communities on ‘X’ and ‘YouTube’, and the official Stove site.
