Hello~!! I'm Gimyuna, a 3rd generation Stove Crew member.

The dating sim review that's back again today!!!

I wanted to feel the campus mood for a change,

so I've come to write a review for the campus dating simulation game,

Who's My Manito!!

I've prepared it with a video today too, so please check it out~~

Shall we go to the review with me??!!

One-line introduction

With a shy Manito I need to take care of,

and a secret Manito who shakes me up with gifts!

In this crossed Manito game, who will the freshman's heart turn to?

That's how it's introduced!!

The story begins as the protagonist joins the university promotional ambassador team,

and the story unfolds after receiving a shocking gift

from the Manito game they started there!!

There are 3 heroines, but you can choose between 2 routes!!

The previous work of Who's My Manito isFrench Connection,and it's a work that received

great reviews.It's a work that was highly acclaimed!!

(I bought it to play, haha. I'll come back to write a review for that too, hot)

It's the next work from Cloud Star Games,

which is well-known for its visual novels!!!Let's watch the gameplay!!

First, you can set your name when starting the game!!

I just played it as Choi Jung-hyun.

One day, the protagonist, who was wondering what to do in his room,

sees a recruitment notice for

school promotional ambassadors!But they said it's hard for the protagonist to become an ambassador based on looks.

So the route he applies for is as a filming and promotional content producer!!

When I went to the ambassador orientation,

everyone was tall and pretty.

But suddenly someone talks to me!

But she's really pretty.

She talks informally right away,

and seems like a very extroverted person.

This friend is Suyeon!!

You must remember her well.

Main heroine!!!!

After the orientation, we move to a bar,

and here I encounter another very pretty female peer.

But she's so shy and cold,

that she's scary to talk to...!!

This friend is Doeun!!

You have to remember her!!

As we have the after-party, the time to pick a Manito approaches!!

The person I picked was Doeun~!

(For those who watched the video review, this might be a spoiler. Sorry, sob)

Turns out I'm taking the same liberal arts class as Doeun?

And then, to receive the handover,

I move to the office!!

There's also a pretty senior in the office.

It's Naeun senior (she's my favorite).

She tells me that my Manito left a gift,

so I should take it!!!!

I receive a shocking gift.

I apologize for the self-censorship

to avoid any potential age-restricted content.

Yes, it was none other than a pair of panties

as a Manito gift!!!!

After that, the contact with Doeun and Suyeon continues,and the protagonist starts suspecting everyone lol.

While suspecting them,

Suyeon is too active towards me,

and Doeun is still cold.

Who on earth gave me such a gift?

.

.

.

Let's find out in the game~!!

One-line review

A visual novel full of campus romance.

First of all,

there are 2 heroines,

so being able to choose and see the endingsseems to be a strength!I've already seen both routes, haha.(What can I do, they're both pretty)

The direction that gives a fresh shock(?) through the Manito game

in the early story

was also a fun point.

If I had to mention a downside,

there's not much story in the second half, sigh.It's mostly focused on service scenes,and since it's a story focused on bed scenes,

I thought it would have been better if the

story aspect

was highlighted more!I was a bit disappointed that Naeun seniorappeared for such a short time.

How can you just pass over such a pretty heroine?!?!?!?(So I'm looking forward to a Naeun senior route too)I haven't played the regular version and only played Secret Plus,

so I'm not sure if the service scenes are the same!

But anyway, everyone, this Secret Plus is a great deal.Besides the scenes I included,

there are various scenes.

(Collecting the gallery is quite fun)

Spicy Suyeon and cold city girl Doeun,

I recommend you try both routes!!!

Thank you for reading my review until the end today~!!Then I'll be off to work on more dating sims!!

Epic Seven Vampire Survivors-style mini-game play time: 6 hours

Battle Arena play time: 4 hours

For the first time, I really felt like my time was being stolen in such a meaningless way that I wanted to quit.

Is it right to take away over 10 hours of my precious time with these chore-like, rehashed events?

Users come to play the game by investing their time.

I hope the staff will think about this aspect.
No matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem like an event designed with the assumption that the developers themselves would clear all the chores.

(Personally, I think if they had played the Vampire Survivors-style mini-game themselves, they would have increased the coin drop rate because collecting coins is so soul-crushing.)

Then what did the people who play hard and clear all the events do wrong?

Filling your content is important, of course, but if you just tell us to waste time meaninglessly like this, all our affection for the game will fade away.

(Actually, while playing, I said out loud, "What am I doing?")

Of course, the developers must have invested time and worked hard to create it, but it requires excessive repetition.

Do the developers want users to treat this game as a job?

If I'm going to do work, I should do it in real life; why should I have to do work here too?

For the first time, I felt like it was such a half-hearted rehash that I wondered why I was even playing.

It makes me wonder if the developers are taking the users' affection for the game too much for granted...

Hello! I'm Kim Eun-young, a member of the 3rd Stove Crew.

As a roguelike lover 

I've brought a new roguelike game!

The game I'm reviewing today is 

'Frostrain 2'is the title.

I have to lead humanity's last train?

A frozen world

All that's left for humanity are the survivors and

the single train carrying them.

And you become the last conductor

leading that train🚂❄️

You must expand the train, place necessary facilities, increase passenger happiness,

and keep moving through this world.

New events occur every time, and

the fate of the train changes depending on your choices!

At the start of the game,

you first configure your train!

Use resources to draw train cars,

place and upgrade them,and

your task is to createmore happiness.

Happiness is a core element of the game;

if happiness reaches 0,the passengers will oust me and the game ends..💀

As days pass, dissatisfaction increases,

and consequently, happiness decreases,

so it's important to keep an eye on this while playing!

Happiness can be increased through synergyand upgrades,so

(Shown receiving effects from 3 synergies / Shown upgraded to level 3)

[Synergy]

Each train car has different effects,and

depending on which car you place where,

the happiness you can generate changes.

You can also combine various artifacts here,

and if you find a combination where the train and artifact effects match well,you can

explosively increase happiness🔥

[Upgrade]

You need two identical train cars of the same level,

and literally,by merging identical train cars,

you can increase the train's level!

You might think, 'Can't I just add lots of good train cars?', but

that makes upgrading difficult🙀

After playing a few rounds,

you'll get a feel for which train cars to place where..

Where the train will go!is also important.

As you move across the map, various forks appear,

and different landmarks and events await on each path.

Should you take the path that gives immediate good rewards,

or choose another path thinking about future synergy?

You have to judge based on the situation🤔

In between, these events also occur,and

depending on your choices,

the flow of your train society will change,

so you must choose strategically.

When I played for the first time, I did it without thinking,

and was quickly ousted..

But it's not the end just because you failed once!

When a run ends, you can obtain purple coins,and

by using these,you can unlock new artifacts or perksand

challenge again in a slightly more powerful statein the next playthrough🔥

At first, you don't have many train cars,

and you don't know how to combine things,

but after playing a few rounds, new elements open up one by one,

making the challenge feel different every time🤤

Also, as the story progresses,

you can unlock new conductors.

Each conductor has a story,

and it's said you can see new content by fulfilling hidden conditions!

Later on, you can even challenge the 'Bitter Cold' difficulty,

so if you've gotten somewhat used to the game,

why not give it a try..😺

The biggest fun of this game that I felt while playing was

growing the trainandworrying about how to survive,

the fact that these two coexist.

Luck is also quite important,

so you keep worrying about which artifacts to take, which cars to upgrade, and which path to take.

For those who like strategy games,

you might end up playing longer than you thought when you only intended to play one round,,😙

Frostrain 2, which I played enjoyably with a mix of strategy and luck!

To summarize the pros and cons,

🩷Pros

- The fun of building the train yourself and creating synergies

- Random events and paths that change every round

- Various builds possible with hundreds of artifact combinations

- A game where luck is god

🖤Cons

- It takes some time to learn the train and artifact effects in the beginning

- You have to think more than you'd expect to properly match synergies

- A game ruined by luck ㅠㅠ

If you like trying new combinations like I do,

I think you'll be able to play it quite enjoyably😸

A game where there's fun in failing round after round and building an increasingly stronger train!

If you want to try making your own ultimate train, give it a play🩷

That's all from Kim Eun-young, 3rd Stove Crew!

💙Horror game series part two

Hello!

A person with a warm heart

Stove Crew 3rd Member Moon Sae-yeonhere 💖

For you all,

when you think of words that warm your heartwhat

comes to mind?

Dreams, hope, money, puppies, Han River view apartment (owned) ...

 😌

The first thing that comes to my mind 'family' seems to be it

We are happy together, and sometimes we hate each other, but

when hard times come, they are the first thing I think of

If there is a side of such a dear family member that is being hidden,

should I reveal it, or should I cover it up?

Today's post is finally the last work of the horror series!

 "Among the Sleep" 

 # Game Info 

"Become a baby trapped in a strange nightmare and go on a journey to find your mom."

It's a very famous game!

It was released in 2014, so it's already been 10 years.

But since it's localized in Korean on Stove,

for those who haven't experienced it yet,

I thought it would be a great benefit, so I brought it here 👍️

 # Gameplay 

The protagonist, who just turned two, receives a 'teddy bear' as a gift.

But that doll...

It talks and moves!

The protagonist, who was playing with the teddy bear, falls asleep with it...

When I woke up at dawn, the doll was gone.

And the place where the doll was found was right inside the laundry room

Because of the teddy bear's words that the mom who only felt kind was strange,

I started to look around the house to find her.

The house that was cozy and warm during the day 

has changed into a chilly and creepy atmosphere.

After confirming that mom's bedroom is empty,

the protagonist enters a suspicious room with the lights on.

Following the path where I might find clues about mom,

I encountered a suspicious space!

The protagonist activated the puzzle device using mom's memory device.

I set off on an endless journey to find mom.

What is the secret that mom was hiding?

 # Evaluation 

1. A game viewed from a different perspective 

This game is played from the first-person perspective of a baby,

the perspective of looking up from the flooris the main one.

Because it's a unique perspective not seen in other games,

it was fresh,

and I liked that it was easy to immerse myself in the character of a baby.

Of course, walking is also possible if it's uncomfortable!

In line with the characteristics of that age,

the design element that allows you to move faster

by crawling was also fun.

2. A spoonful of puzzles in a horror game

'Is this a horror game... or a puzzle game...'

I think you've probably had this experience quite a few times while playing games.

I came to enjoy horror, so why am I using my brain...

But <Among the Sleep> is definitely good because the puzzles play an auxiliary role.

Without difficult levels that require brainpower,

most of the puzzles consist of exploring the map to find devices.

It is composed of that.

3. Well-made story

Amidst the fantasy elements where the teddy bear talks and walks, 

it contains a very realistic story.

The opposite side of the loving mom

seen from a baby's perspective...

😭

It was also fun to enjoy the story 

I've finally finished the horror series I planned!

I hope it was of some help during the hot summer.

I don't think I'll be looking at the horror genre for a while now haha 🥶

If you enjoyed this review, 

I recommend playing <Among the Sleep>!

I'll be back with a cheerful and lively game in the next review 😝💗
