Real?

Hello! STOVE Crew Kwon Young-bin.

The game I'm reviewing today is a horror game set in the back alleys of Korea.

[Back Alley: Ghostly Remnants].

Then let's start the review right away.

Game Information

Recently, including Pung Wol-ryang,

many streamers and YouTubers have played this hot topic game,

as I will explain below, Korean back alleysare the setting, and

it evokes horror from scenery that everyone has seen.

Personally, I like horror games, and the game itself is so fun,

I think I had a really fun time playing it.

Now, let's start the game review.

Game Review

Synopsis | How to Play | Game Play

Synopsis

One night after school, Soyeon gets trapped in an endless back alley for an unknown reason.

To escape from this place, you must find all the 'illusions' created by the ghost in the back alley and judge these illusions to

distinguish between [Ghostly Remnants] and [Mirage]. 

Will Soyeon be able to escape from the ghost's alley,

and why did the ghost trap Soyeon in the alley...?

How to Play

As written in the synopsis, to escape from the back alley,

you have to find the illusions and distinguish whether they are [Ghostly Remnants]or [Mirage].

The illusion can be identified by the

bracelet's reactiongiven by the shaman grandmother,

the more correct the direction of the illusion, the closer the distance,the more the bracelet shines.

And there are two types of illusions found through the bracelet:

namely, Ghostly Remnantsand Mirage.

Ghostly Remnants: Traces of ghosts, phenomena that can never happen in reality

Mirage: Pranks of ghosts, seemingly strange, but phenomena that can happen in reality

Let's take a simple example.

A pair of shoesis placed in the back alley.

It's scary, but it's something that could exist in reality,

so in this case, it's a Mirage.

But when I took a picture, not only the shoes but also a person's legswere captured.

This is a phenomenon that cannot happen in reality,

so it's a Ghostly Remnant.

The above example is easy,

and there are many confusing cases while playing the game,

if you make a wrong judgment, you will be attacked, and if you get it wrong 3 times, you will die.

The process of finding and judging illusions is done through a mobile phone.

If you take a picture and send your judgment to your grandmother via text message,

you can check whether the answer is correct or wrong.

And the mobile phone is used as an essential element in the game, such as a flashlight and notepad.

essential elements.

Now, let me briefly show you my gameplay.

Game Play

Before playing, let me tell you my horror game level.

I enjoy playing horror games,and

the horror games I have played so far include

Amnesia, Outlast, Biohazard, Shadow Corridor, Silent Hill, etc..

The first thing I felt when I started the game was

that it really reproduced the back alleys of Korea well.

Streetlights, garbage bags, and even Kimbap Heaven visible on the street

It felt like the neighborhood I lived in as a child was moved into the game as it is,

making it more immersive and scarier.

And the sound and colors created a spooky atmosphere,

creating a considerable psychological pressure...

Personally, I think this kind of atmosphere is scarier than jump scares...

If you walk around with this tension,

you can find an illusion.

It's a simple method of taking a picture of the illusion and judging whether it's a Ghostly Remnant or a Mirage.

simple method.

Most illusions can be judged intuitively,

but some illusions really gave me a hard time...

While playing multiple times, it's definitely the same,

but when you look closely, there are different things,

so you have to look very carefully.

In addition, there are various types of illusions,

and there are also illusions that appear constantly,and these friends

really gave me a hard time... sigh...

(They tormented me a lot, so I teabagged them... haha)

These friends made me feel that the game's difficulty was high,

and there are puzzle elements in between, so if you get stuck,

it might be a good idea to look at a guide.

But I didn't look at the walkthrough out of stubbornness and bravado,

so I was able to enjoy the game for a very long time, haha.

Personal Review

Pros | Cons

Pros

Realistic graphics and background

The graphics are clean and the background is well implemented,making it really immersive.

And since the game itself requires you to look closely at objects and backgrounds,

if the graphics are broken or unnatural, it can interfere with the gameplay,

but there are no such issues, allowing you to focus more on the game and feel the fear.

Sound

The overall background music and the sound effects that come out when illusions appear are also appropriate,

helping to immerse you in the game, just like the graphics.

Details of props

Since it's a back alley, there are a lot of small objects such as graffiti, posters, and garbage bags,

and each one is full of detail and realistically made,

giving you the feeling of being in a real neighborhood back alley.

And the fact that these can also become illusions...

Simple gameplay

The game's difficulty is not easy, but the gameplay is very simple.

Finding illusions - taking pictures - judging, it's a simple gameplay that you just repeat,

and it's really amazing that it created this much fun and immersion.

Cons

Boss fight?

There were also some cons. As you progress through the game, fixed events occur from time to time.

In other games, it's like a boss fight,

and this boss fight is also fun and fits well with the game's atmosphere, so it's really fun,

but there are some parts where the explanation is somewhat lacking,making it difficult to play without dying in some parts.

But the game's difficulty is different for everyone, and it could even be a pro.

Somewhat lacking explanation

Puzzle elements appear in the middle of the game. Removing amulets in order, restoring Buddha statues, etc.

There was a lack of explanation or it was difficult in this part, so I failed or took a long time on the first playthrough. 

Ending

The price is reasonable and the game is fun,so I highly recommend it!

If you try it for the first time, you might think it's the same gameplay as Exit 8,

but as you go further, the story progresses interestingly and various events await you,

so I hope you will definitely play it yourself.

People who are not good at scary things, people who like scary things

It's a fun game with moderate scariness

that can satisfy both of these types of people.Back Alley: Ghostly Remnants

I'll end the review here.

This has been STOVE Crew Kwon Young-bin.

Thank you.

Hello...ㅠ
I'm Jaeminsu, the official (?) kid of Stove Crew 2nd generation.

I'll start by crying today...

Because I played a horror game.
I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight,
This is a disaster...
It's my first horror game in my life...
But before playing, I showed off a lot,
I can't forgive myself...

But still, since I played the game, I have to write a review..
Right...?

Yes, I'll stop talking and start...

<Game Introduction>

After school, while passing through an alleyway,
I got trapped in an endless maze of alleyways for an unknown reason.
Carefully observe the alleyway and
Distinguish between [Ghostly Remnants], which can never happen in reality, and
[Apparitions], which are bizarre but can happen in reality.
Uncover the secrets hidden in the alleyway,
Overcome the threat of ghosts and escape the alleyway.

So, to summarize in one word?

It has now become a genre
Finding abnormal phenomena, Ghostly Remnants or Apparitions
"Korean-style Exit 8"
That's what you can think of it as~!

But now
It's highly developed and has difficulty...
Full of Cheongyang chili pepper flavor 
"Extreme spicy taste without exit..."

Wow, but this game, you know--

As you can see in the image above,
It hasn't been released for long,
So it's on sale?

Until November 18, 2025 (Tue) 23:59
It's 10% off!

(There are still 2 weeks left...
Crazyㄷㄷ)

Then, what you're curious about right now
I almost peed my pants
My review
슥...
I'll take it out.

I'm sorry!

First of all, me...
I couldn't finish the gameㅠ

I went to the bathroom 3 times
Personally, it was too scary

I played for about "3 hours and 30 minutes" and ran away...

(Haha...save me..)

(Actually, I overcame my fear and worked hard...
I opened some scroll,
Even if I pressed ESC, there was no response
I force quit and had to find 10 Ghostly Remnants again
I ran away...)

(Isn't this the real horror...ㅠ)

So for 3 hours and 30 minutes
I'm a Christian where red color is rampant
I went to a place I would never go to in reality
I 찍먹(dipped) and came back safely...ㅎ

Still
I just didn't see the ending...
The important points of the alleyway
I experienced everything^^

Point 1. Find Ghostly Remnants or Apparitions!

The first important point of the alleyway is 
The fun of this game (?)

Of course
Abnormal phenomenon (Ghostly Remnants or Apparitions)

Finding it.

Actually, in the beginning, it was difficult to distinguish between Ghostly Remnants and Apparitions...
It was very difficult...ㅠ
If you do it, you'll get a feel for it
Don't worry..!
(To all the cowards like me...)
(But I can't get a feel for the scary things ㅎ;;;)

This is what comes out in the game
Explanation of Ghostly Remnants and Apparitions.

If I explain it according to my understanding,

Ghostly Remnants = Literally, the traces of ghosts!
Everything that is impossible in reality!

Apparitions = Literally, an illusion!
It's strange, but there is a possibility of existence, things that you can imagine!

For those who are confused
Let me give you a rough example~

"In a pile of garbage
A lamp that is lit and shaking by itself."

Indeed,
Is it an Apparition? Is it a Ghostly Remnant?

The answer is... 
It's a Ghostly Remnant!
When you think about it realistically, 
There's no way a discarded lamp can emit light on its own without power, right?

Then~!

Second question!!!

"Next to a green paint can
A cat that turns green and wanders around."
Indeed, 
Is it an Apparition? Is it a Ghostly Remnant?

The answer is... 
It's an Apparition!
When you think about it realistically, 
There's a paint can next to it, so I guess it had fun playing~
Right?

I believe this helped you understand...

I'll move on~!

Point 2. The main character's miraculous bracelet!

The second thing I thought was a point
IsThe main character's braceletIs~

First of all?

Every time I see it, I think it's pretty.
I wanted it!
(Immediately AIXLABPlease release it as merchandise...!)

AndReacts to Ghostly Remnants or Apparitions
That functionality with miraculous power!
Very good~

And
That Flower patternIs...
ThisThe core story of the game
ConnectionIt's also connected~

Point 3. The story that is not over until it is over!

The third point I thought was
The never-ending storyIs.
After finding 10 Apparitions or Ghostly Remnants
The story progresses,

I really thought at this time
It was over...

But...
It wasn't?

(Why are you doing this to me, really..)

But?
Really just 8,910 won,
Pretend you ate a piece of cake at a cafe,
You can really dig into the story as much as you want
You'll be able to find Ghostly Remnants as much as you want^^
I went to the bathroom as much as I wanted.
Maybe it's because I was too scared...

In the beginning, I showed off
I was talking to myself all sorts of things
As I went to the end
I became restless and quiet...ㅎㅎ

Extra. Personally difficult part!

As an aside
Let's take out the difficult parts while playing the game...

The first is

"TV Ghost"Was...

It persistently chases you every time you turn

You have to control it well and turn off the TV...

(Died 8 times to this guy...)

The second is

"Light Hating Ghost"Was...

This friend
A tiger is drawn on it

Until you find a street lamp
Shining with a phone flashlight

Like Rough in Tales Runner
You have to run backwards...

I thought I knew the way well,
I was a 길치(bad at direction).
I kept getting blocked by the wall behind me and died...

So about the alleyway 
Let's summarize my thoughts...

My perceivedFear levelIs
Out of 5 stars5 starsIs.
(Too scary ㄷㄷ)

(I want to go to the bathroom right now...)

And the main story
The fear was well incorporated into the Korean traditional shaman lifeThat
I thought~!
(Please check this out by playing it yourself...)

And,
Unreal EngineAs expected of a game using
Realistic Korean alleywayShowing
The high-quality graphics stood out, and

Ghosts, main characters, grandmothers, mothers 
All characters are dubbedBecause there was even
It was too scary.
The disappointing thing is
The computer specs must be high for it to run smoothly 
A game that seems to run wellAnd
From the ghostWhen running awayEvery time 
Storing the left hand with the braceletSo
Have to take it out againInconvenienceWas about it.

23 years of life 
It was my first horror game,
That game is highly complete<Alleyway: Ghostly Remnants>Therefore

Really...

(I will never play horror games again ㅎ...)

It was fun^^

Thank you for reading my long review today!
