Hello, this is CALLA.

Last month, due to scheduling issues, I wasn't able to post the 'Pick of June 25!'

With a new mindset, let's start the second half of the year energetically with 'Pick of July 25!'

Here are the four indie game demos we're featuring this month:

Would you like to see four works with different charms? 🍀

The Princess's Escape

Scatter team

Princess Escape is a 2D point-and-click room escape game developed by 'Sanbal Team' . Even though it is a trial version, it is a completely free game that can be played until the end .

The protagonist of this work is a beautiful princess who has lived a life close to confinement for 16 long years, never leaving her room since the moment she was born .

The princess in the story is reminiscent of Rapunzel in that she grew up living a life of confinement for a long time.

The princess, who has been living like a bird in a cage, finally decides to escape the castle.

It was the longing for freedom that drove the princess to set out on her own path to freedom.

As a princess who dreams of escape, you must explore your surroundings and find a way out of the castle.

Collect items, solve puzzles, and begin your journey to escape.

Players can engage in activities such as conversation, movement, exploration, and puzzle solving, all of which can be accomplished using just the mouse.

There are major branching points in the game that determine the ending.

Depending on which choice you make, the story will either have a happy ending or a bad ending, which are polar opposites.

The puzzle's difficulty level is moderate, and since you can save at any time, progressing to the end is not difficult.

Will the princess be able to escape safely out of the castle as she intended?

'Princess Escape' is a short escape room game that you can enjoy lightly.

A collection of memory fragments

Choi Min-gyu

Memory Defragmenter is a 2D pixel graphics based platform adventure game currently in development by developer Min-gyu Choi .

It combines the fun of a casual platformer with a unique narrative of memory restoration, and pursues the pleasure of both story and control .

Memory recovery rate increases each time you clear a stage-based platformer game, and decreases each time you reach a game over.

In the trial version, you can play through stages 1-1, which is a tutorial stage, and 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4, which are centered around jumping and avoiding obstacles.

To recover memories, sometimes it is necessary to go back and forth between the 'past' and the 'present'.

Change the perspective appropriately, piece together the fragments of memory, restore damaged memories, and uncover what happened in the client's broken memories.

For Jekyll

Team HGE

For the Kill is a first-person fully dubbed mystery horror adventure game that mixes 3D and 2D elements, currently in development by 'Team HGE' .

The story part unfolds like a 2D visual novel , while the gameplay is characterized by being played in a 3D first-person horror adventure format .

'For Jekyll' is set in a hotel where ordinary people suddenly turn into monsters and start attacking others, turning it into chaos in an instant .

The film is reminiscent of the 2007 film "REC" and its remake "Quarantine" released the following year , in that it features the main characters being isolated survivors whose lives are threatened in a confined space, with ordinary people turning into unidentified monsters and attacking others.

After a short prologue, the game begins in earnest in a hotel lobby, where the protagonist, a detective, joins up with several survivors, including a nurse, a professor, a priest, and two researchers who are siblings .

There are already troops waiting outside the hotel, but for some reason, the soldiers are preventing the survivors from escaping the hotel.

The only way for the survivors to escape the hotel safely is to climb to the rooftop and board a waiting military helicopter .

But to make matters worse, the electricity goes out, and the hotel filled with monsters is plunged into darkness in an instant.

Despite the extreme fear, the survivors gather their strength and find a way to get to the rooftop.

And in the process, the reason why the people in the hotel turned into monsters and the existence of the 'Hyde Project' behind it are revealed.

They say that people turning into monsters is a side effect of the 'Hyde Project'.

Is that really all there is to it?

Could it be that there is a much bigger and more terrible secret hidden behind it?

In the demo version, you start from the lobby on the first floor, and explore the second and third floors, and while exploring the second floor, you will meet another new survivor.

'For Jekyll' is a multi-ending game where the ending changes depending on the player's choices, and the 'Karma' and 'Affinity' systems are applied.

'For Jekyll', which combines visual novel elements with a horror adventure and is expected to provide an immersive narrative and a creepy atmosphere at the same time, is scheduled for an official release in July.

The developer 'Team HGE' is also making adjustments to reduce jump scares (aka 'jumping out') for users who have a low tolerance for 3D first-person horror games .

If you are someone who usually enjoys the horror visual novel genre, you might want to pay attention to 'For Jekyll' which is about to be officially released.

Grind and Dine

Team Plane

G rind and Dine is a 3D first-person life simulation game in development by Team Airplane .

Although it is introduced as a life simulation , it can also be viewed as a survival or work simulation.

This is because this work stands on the border between survival and living, labor and life, and touches all of those areas .

Before starting the actual game, players must select the difficulty level and proceed with character customization .

The difficulty level consists of four levels .

: Golden Spoon (Easy), Iron Spoon (Average), Dirt Spoon (Difficult), Bare Hands (Very Hard)

If you want a more leisurely and comfortable life, we recommend starting on the 'Golden Spoon' difficulty level.

The game's protagonist is a man who has fallen into debt due to a failed business, and returns to his hometown after 10 years in exile .

'Grind and Dine' leads the player into the world of the work with the warm comfort of "You can start over at any time" in the prologue.

So, he returned home with a huge amount of debt, but his grandmother had already passed away a long time ago, and all that was left to the protagonist was his grandmother's watch, which was her heirloom, and a container-shaped building sitting alone in a remote place .

The funds held are '0'!

I don't have enough money to buy a meal right now, but my debt payments still come without fail every week.

So what should I do from now on?

Of course, you have to start with work as soon as possible.

Even to make a living day to day and pay off debt, you need money.

Run out into town and start working right away.

If you check the town bulletin board, you'll find jobs you can start without any experience.

Otherwise, it's a good idea to just wander around here and there.

You can learn the geography of the town and earn a little extra income by doing unexpected favors.

But please remember this.

Long working hours can reduce your energy, satiety, and even your mood.

Travel around the map filled with Korean sensibilities and look for jobs.

Eat meals on time, manage your condition and mood, and steadily increase your savings.

You can challenge yourself with something new every day, or if you find something you like, you can stick with it.

No matter what you choose to do, Grind and Dine will give players a second life that they can't escape from. 🤣

As expected, it's not easy to earn other people's money. 😂

In terms of how well it recreates familiar Korean scenery, it felt like a lower version of 'Enjoy' without the sandbox elements, and in terms of how you can enjoy various 'experience! life scene' simulators, it reminded me of the various simulator games from 'Roblox'.

The game structure is closer to Roblox's simulator type, but while Roblox has many games centered around one specific profession,

'Grind and Dine' is different in that it offers a wider variety of career experiences within one game, with a 'we don't know what you'll like, we've prepared it all' feel.

Here, instant lottery tickets such as ‘Life Reversal’ or ‘Life’s Tale’ and various mini games add a little fun.

If you enjoyed games like 'Work at a Pizza Place' on Roblox, you'll find 'Grind and Dine' just as fun and satisfying.

'Grind and Dine' is in full development with the goal of a regular launch by the end of this year .

Based on the trial version, I felt that the loading time was a bit long.

If these parts are improved in the official version, I think I will be able to enjoy an exciting second virtual life in a more comfortable environment. 🙂

Well, that concludes 'July's Pick!'

Personally, I'm most looking forward to the official release of 'Grind and Dine'.

I also enjoyed playing 'For Jekyll', but I'm a natural born coward, so I think 3D first-person horror games are bad for my heart. 😖

I'm curious to know what kind of works you've been eyeing.

It's the first day of July,

It's still hard to believe that the first half of 25 years ended yesterday.

If January 1st is a good time to plan for the year,

I think July 1st is a good time to look back on the first half of the year and prepare for the second half with a new determination.

To everyone reading this,

I hope the second half of 2025 will be filled with only good news.

Let's all work hard in the second half of the year and fight together! 🍀

It looks fun, but the early reviews are talking about balance, and since it's a new developer's game, I was a bit worried so I waited and watched, and it's only been about 2 weeks since it was released, but I bought it while using a coupon since they've been steadily patching bugs and balance ㅎㅎ;

I won't be able to buy it for a while anyway ㅠ
