Interview with "Enbox Games," a content service company that provides new fun

*This is an indie game interview series. The photos used in the interviews were provided by the creators through Discord, email, etc., and the interview content was compiled from honest interviews. If you are a developer (domestic or overseas) who would like to participate in the interview , please feel free to contact me through various methods such as leaving a comment on my profile or a post comment (email, Discord, SNS address, etc.).

Interview: Q (hashiruka48) / A (Enbox Games)

Game Company: NBoxGames
Stove Store: https://store.onstove.com/ko/store/NBoxGames

Genre: RPG, Action, Casual, Simulation, Visual Novel, etc.

Q. Please introduce Enbox Games. (What is the vision behind the establishment of Enbox Games, the company and its overall business, and what are its core business areas?)

A. Hello. This is Enbox Games. Enbox Games is a content service company that provides new fun. We are doing our best to publish various games and produce good results. We are currently continuously creating and servicing new game IPs centered on visual novel games. We want to work with various developers to produce good results with the goal of global service. Thank you for your inquiry.

Q. I was looking at the Steam, Stove, and Google Play links, and the Google Play item has an address in Gyeongsan-si, South Korea. Is Enbox Games located in Gyeongsan, Daegu?

A. Yes, it is a local game company headquartered in Gyeongsan.

Q. If you look at the games of Enbox Games among Google Play and Stove Games, the discount rates are great, such as 100 won and 1,000 won. The price policy is very good, so you can't help but buy Enbox Games' games. What are the representative game titles released so far, and how have they performed?

A. Enbox Games is working towards achieving success by publishing various games. Games meet customers based on diversity and fun. The games provided by Enbox Games are creating policies based on such a keynote, so the games they service are producing results in Stove, Google, and One Store. We value all titles and aim to achieve success in all games.

Q. If you look at games like How to Make Cherry Blossom Spirits Idols, they support English and Japanese in addition to Korean. Do you have any global market entry strategies or overseas publishing plans?

A. Cherry Blossoms (hereinafter referred to as Cherry Blossoms) has signed a publishing contract with a Japanese company through global service, and a version with famous voice actors is scheduled to be released on Switch and Steam at the end of June. We are already promoting it at X, and the main homepage has also been launched.

You can check it at https://sakurairo.operahouse.co.jp/ .

Q. It seems like there are a lot of collaborations with Aftertime Co., Ltd. / Big Tail Village. What do you think about the possibility of collaborations with various indie developers or external developers? How can external indie game developers (including developers) who want to release a game with Enbox Games contact Enbox Games?

A. We are already developing and servicing games together with many others. Although not yet released, games that are serviced with more companies will be released in the second half of the year. Enbox Games welcomes games that aim for global service.

Q. College assistant life! There is a pre-order discount event going on at Stove right now! Pre-order and get one more! There is also a 1+1 event going on. Please explain the event to those who love visual novels.

A. College Assistant Life is a game that is preparing a total of 4 DLCs, and the first one is scheduled to be released on June 26th. This 1+1 event is being held because we hope that many people will participate, and because we hope that you will look forward to the second, third, and fourth parts because you liked the first one. We are grateful that there are more and more people who have certified through the event, and we are also grateful for the interesting comments. We hope that it will be a fun game to introduce to your friends.

Q. Enbox Games releases games on a wide variety of platforms. Why did Enbox Games choose the Stove platform?

A. Stove is a domestic PC game platform where you can find many domestic games and also provides various support services. If there is One Store for mobile, there is Stove for PC and I think the market share is also improving. N Box sees Stove as a suitable place for distribution to domestic users as a domestic game company. Furthermore, Stove has the potential to develop into a global platform, so we are always with Stove.

Q. How has the feedback or response from the Stove community influenced the development or improvement of the game?

A. There are many good people among the Stove users. Thank you for always watching our game. The feedback from Stove users is a great help in improving the game development and becomes an opportunity to develop into a better game.

Q. If you have any plans to release or collaborate on indie games through Stove in the future, what direction are you planning to take?

A. We are currently focusing on C- and B-grade games, but our goal is to service or develop A- and AA-grade games in the future. To do so, we believe that we need to have more experience as a paid game publisher than anyone else, and we believe that we need diverse experiences in C- and B-grade games. This basic experience will be a great help in providing better services than anyone else.

Q. In June of 25, “University Assistant Life” was released, and in July of 25, “A Lady Who Difficulty in Drinking and Love” was released. What elements of your games, graphics, story, and gameplay, do you focus on the most?

A. We believe that all three elements are important. Graphics are important for the first impression and first feeling, story is important for immersion, and game play is important if the graphics and story support it, so we think that each and every one of them is important.

Q. What are the goals that Enbox Games hopes to achieve in the next three years?

A. As a publisher that provides the best games, Enbox Games plans to grow beyond Korea and become a global company. We imagine that in three years, A-class or higher games will be provided and users will enjoy playing games, and we hope that Enbox Games will be recognized as a company that has memorable games.

Q. Thank you for the interview today. Lastly, please give a message to the users who love Enbox Games and are looking forward to the game.

A. Thank you for loving Enbox Games and looking forward to the game. We hope you will show a lot of interest and play this time around, College Assistant Life and The Girl Who Difficulty Drinking and Love. Above all, we would like to express our gratitude once again to those who supported Tumblbug. Thank you.

How can I redeem my 5,000 STOVE event coupon for in-game purchases or benefits in Crossfire?

Hello, this is CALLA.

The daily temperature range is still large,

It's the last day of May, and the midday temperature is reminiscent of early summer.

This time, I would like to introduce four unique domestic indie game demos that caught my eye.

This month's protagonists are:

Shall we go together into the charm of Part 4 and 4 colors?

0204 AURORA

Ikik Lee

0 204 AURORA is a minimalistic 2D pixel graphics vertical escape room puzzle adventure game currently in development by developer Ikik Lee .

'0204 AURORA' is a game that only has a short one-line description that reminds you of escape room elements, so it's hard to get a sense of how the story will unfold just from the game description.

However, the reviews from users who previously played the trial version of '0204 AURORA' were all positive, which sparked curiosity about this work.

I expected the trial version to be short based on other users' reviews, but I never expected it to end in less than 5 minutes after starting to play.

However, even with just a short 5-minute playthrough, it aroused my desire to play '0204 AURORA' and my curiosity about the backstory.

'0204 AURORA' is a work being developed with mobile release in mind, and has a vertical screen format that is rare among PC games .

The story begins with the main character, who has come to a broadcasting station to watch a music show, discovers a talking rabbit and begins to chase after it .

The protagonist, who saw a rabbit going into a rabbit hole with the words 'Broadcast Cave' written on it, also follows the rabbit and enters the broadcast cave, but later gets trapped in an unfamiliar space that is presumed to be someone's room.

There is a sofa and a desk in the room, and electronic devices such as a radio and a laptop are also visible.

Anyway, it's almost time for the music show to start, so I don't have time to waste time in a place like this.

I don't know where I am, but I have to use all my might to find a way to escape this place and get to the music show before it's too late.

But where exactly is this place?

It was a short but refreshing and intriguing piece of work, to the point where I felt regretful that the trial version ended so quickly.

What is this rabbit hole called 'Broadcasting Cave' and what is the identity of the talking rabbit?

First of all, is it true that the talking rabbit really exists?

Above all, I am curious about the meaning of the title of the work, '0204 AURORA', and how '0204 AURORA', the talking rabbit, and the broadcasting cave are connected and what their relationship is.

This work, which seems to be inspired by 'Alice in Wonderland', retains the emotions of early mobile games, while also stimulating interest in the main story with its unique concept and story.

The work I would like to see in the future as an official release version is '0204 AURORA'.

The newspaper of the day

DivingStudio

Newspaper of the Day is a 2D journalism simulation game in development by DivingStudio .

Set during the Japanese colonial period from the 1920s to the liberation in 1945, the player becomes the editor-in-chief of a newspaper company and must cover historical events and publish articles.

Telling the truth is the true mission of a journalist.

But if that one decision determines the existence of a newspaper company, the weight of that choice cannot but be great and heavy.

Nevertheless, if you want to act on the choices you have reached after endless agony and experience firsthand how your decisions change the world, I recommend this work, 'The Newspaper of the Day'.

In the trial version, you will cover the events related to the 'Death of Emperor Gojong' three times and publish the results as articles .

Please note that since this is a trial version, the 'telephone' and 'typewriter' functions are open, but other functions cannot be used.

Send reporters to the scene of the incident via 'phone' and give them reporting instructions.

If you have gathered information related to an incident through reporting, you can use the 'typewriter' to write and publish an article.

Players can choose which paths to take, how to approach the story, and who to meet during the reporting process.

Even for the same incident, the information that can be obtained varies depending on the location where the information is collected or the subject of the interview, so careful judgment is required for each choice.

Also, since the level of difficulty is set differently depending on the reporting method, you need to decide in which direction you will proceed with the reporting in order to obtain information efficiently.

In order to successfully cover a story, reporters who can properly demonstrate their skills must be dispatched according to each field situation.

Since reporters have different abilities, it is important to dispatch reporters who have a good understanding of the situation and characteristics of the field and can complete the report well.

Another unique feature of 'The Newspaper of the Day' is that it contains TRPG, or dice rolling elements.

In order to successfully complete an interview, the required abilities must meet a certain standard.

The final ability score is calculated by adding the bonus value granted by rolling the dice to the unique ability score of the reporter. If this value exceeds the required ability score, the report is completed successfully.

Another feature is that the game has a 'typing game' style mini game element.

If you successfully type the given sentence correctly within the time limit, you can decipher the password.

According to the developers, they also plan to add interview and infiltration-related mini-games in the future.

Once you have finished researching and gathering information about the incident to be covered in the article, it is time to type it out and publish it.

Articles must be written taking into account all three factors: ‘credibility’, ‘risk of censorship’, and ‘impact’.

After an article is published, you can check the reactions of readers who have read the article.

'The Newspaper of the Day' is scheduled to make its debut through 'Early Access' on August 15th, Liberation Day, and development is underway with the goal of an official release by the end of this year.

Even with the limited features of the trial version, I was able to fully experience the fun and charm of 'The Daily Newspaper'.

This is a work that has high expectations for the main story.

Grilled: The Potter Manor Disappearance

The Yellow Room

Grild : The Potter Manor Disappearance is a 3D first-person mystery detective adventure game in development by The Yellow Room .

The main character of this work is Ashley, a royal investigator and executor who sets out on a journey under the Queen's orders and accidentally falls into an accident along the way .

Ashley, who lost consciousness in a fall , wakes up in an unfamiliar mansion, which turns out to be the mansion of the fallen aristocracy, the Potter family.

The Potter family was a noble family known to all in the kingdom, but one day ten years ago, an unprecedented incident occurred in which the Potter family and dozens of servants disappeared in a single night.

As if it had 'evaporated'.

It was truly a bizarre incident.

The only person who escaped the tragedy that day was Baron Rowan Potter, the last heir to the Potter family and the current owner of the manor.

According to the explanation of Rivera Chest, the maid of this mansion, it was also Baron Rowyn Potter and Rivera herself who saved Ashley, who had lost consciousness in the fall.

And there were several other guests staying at the mansion besides Ashley.

The guests include Bobby Quentin, a postman, Mabel Ramsey, a writer and reporter for the Queens Daily, and Kenneth, who is believed to be from a noble family .

All of them, including Ashley, were unable to leave for the same reason: the two bridges connecting the mansion to the mainland were broken.

The Potter family's mansion, built in the middle of a large reservoir, can only be reached by two bridges on either side of the mansion, but both of those bridges have been broken.

It was too coincidental a coincidence.

With the bridge connecting the land to the mansion broken, no one staying in the mansion can leave for the land until the bridge is repaired, and conversely, no one on the land can enter the mansion.

It takes about a week for the leg to recover.

Everyone staying at the mansion is shocked when it is discovered that the bridge was not broken off due to old age, but was intentionally destroyed.

Potter Manor has become a giant, secret room.

And the owner of the manor, Baron Rowan Potter, who for some reason never leaves his home and never shows his face.

Even the mysterious Libera Chest, who seems to know a lot but is reserved and seems to be hiding some secret.

No one in this mansion can be trusted.

As an investigator assigned directly to the royal family, the player must use their wits and the mysterious power bestowed upon them by the Queen, 'Justicia', to uncover the secrets of the mansion and its inhabitants, and uncover the hidden truth.

You can more conveniently investigate your surroundings by using the 'Tab' key.

By pressing the 'Tab' key to activate 'Insight', you can intuitively identify interactable items.

Key pieces of information discovered through exploration are automatically recorded in the detective's notebook and can be used to determine relationships between clues or to interrogate other people.

The reason why the word 'Grilled' is included in the title of this work is because the name of the criminal interrogation technique that Ashley, an investigator under the direct control of the royal family, uses with the help of 'Lost', aka 'Justicia', is 'The Griling'.

Within the 'Burning Truth Space' created by Justicia, royal investigators can directly interrogate criminal suspects.

When the investigator discovers that the suspect is lying, Justicia devours the suspect's soul little by little as punishment for lying.

'Grilling' is the core of this work, and the player must perfectly interrogate the suspect who tries to escape from the 'Burning Truth Space' by collecting clues and testimonies and make him confess the truth.

Another highly anticipated work with a good mix of mystery and detective elements, this one is also highly anticipated for its official release.

Anti TV Reboot

Devfcat

Anti TV Reboot is a 2D casual puzzle game in development by Devfcat .

The protagonist is a developer who wakes up from a sleep to find himself trapped inside the program he was developing . The player becomes this unfortunate developer and plays the game.

The ultimate goal of this piece is to collect encrypted data from within the buggy program, perform an emergency recovery, and safely return to the real world.

The game unfolds in stages, and two AI helpers appear to assist the player .

According to their explanation, there are 'encrypted data' hidden throughout the system, but only players with 'administrator rights' can access the encrypted data.

Therefore, in order for the player to escape this unfamiliar space, or rather, the program, they must actively collect 'encrypted data' by utilizing V's direction-setting ability and P's movement ability.

To do this, you must complete a series of stages sequentially, and the condition for clearing each stage is to operate the character within a limited number of turns and reach the 'lock' point on the map.

However, there are some limitations to this process .

1. Players cannot move their characters freely.

The character will continue to rotate at a constant speed, and pressing any key on the keyboard will stop the rotation and fix the direction.

2. If you press any key again in this state, the character will move in a straight line in that direction.

3. Players must avoid various obstacles and move their characters to the final destination where the lock is before the number of turns displayed in the upper left corner runs out.

4. There are various types of obstacles, such as red data that causes the game to end immediately upon contact, yellow data that appears and disappears repeatedly, and pink data that bounces the character off.

5. The difficulty level gradually increases as you progress through the stages, and obstacle types are added accordingly.

The story doesn't have much weight within the work.

This game focuses on clearing stages by efficiently and strategically moving characters within a limited number of turns, and the fun of challenging increasingly difficult levels.

For those who prefer problem-solving games that require brain power, we recommend playing 'Anti TV Reboot'.

Do you know that?

Tomorrow marks the beginning of June, the last month of the first half of 2025.

That means we're already halfway through 2025.

Are you successfully carrying out the plans you made at the beginning of the year?

If everything is going according to plan, I hope you continue to work hard and do well in the future.

It's okay if things don't go as planned.

2025 is not even halfway through yet, and there is still more time ahead of us than has passed this year.

Summer hasn't arrived yet, and it's too early to talk about fall or winter.

So it's really okay.

You've done well so far,

I end this article by sending encouragement to myself and to all of you who can and will do better in the future.

You all worked really hard in May, and let's all do our best in June! 🍀

I'll be back with my June piece.

See you again in June!
