BIC Day 1 Status

Shall we check it out together?

As soon as I entered, 

I was greeted by huge crowds!

To think so many people gathered just to play games,

I'm already looking forward to it, hehe..

Well, as for me...

As a STOVE crew member, I couldn't miss it!

Shall we see what games were exhibited at the STOVE booth?

First,

A.S.S.

!

Those who have read my posts know that

as someone who has reviewed many Vampire Survivors-like games, I couldn't resist.

The most fun part while playing was

definitely

the roulette luck game,so

spinning the roulette was the most fun!

Even in a round where I thought I was going to die,

through the jackpot roulette,

I could suddenly grow tremendously,

and even at the moment I collapsed from zero health,

I spin the roulette to decide life or death!

 This is a total luck-based god game, right? 

The booth where pretty girls

greet you is

Game Company's Incompetent Employee Mina-ssi.

Need I say more?

As they say, a dating sim is..

 felt with the heart. 

I highly recommend you take this opportunity to

play it!

If possible, 

offline    that is.

Why, you ask?

Oh my..

Make sure to get it..

Opposite the front booth,

here where 3 games are gathered,

House of Legacy,

Lonestar Hunter,

Babel's Travel Guide

are exhibited side by side.

First,

House of Legacy.

In a world where succession and competition,

rebellion and domination

repeat,

the player seizes power to defeat the rebels,a strategy RPG game.

Not only that,but you can freely

pioneer your territory and create your own legacy..Doesn't that sound cool just hearing about it?

 It's actually a cool game too..An empire built by my own hands..

Next is

Lonestar Hunter.

It's already officially released on the store page!

So, without spoilers, my review is:

It's a spaceship game!

there are over 200 parts,

52 pilots appear,and it's a strategy roguelike game where you have to survive 130 random events.

As I always say,

the strength of a roguelike is that every round creates a new combination.

It means every single round is new.Thanks to that, I think I played it very interestingly.

The tension during the 'shockwave duel' was...It was like the tension of a gunslinger in a western movie.

Lastly,Babel's Travel Guide.

Since this is also an officially released game, to keep the review simple,

it was a story adventure game with a very well-crafted story.Every story was made to be intriguing,

and it was impressive how each other's fates intertwined and changed.And,

in story games, you often accidentally miss clues

and get tired of just looking at the past log list,

but the notebook helped me easily synthesize the clues I collected,which helped maintain immersion.The STOVE booth had these 5 games exhibited,

and we can't miss playing the STOVE and BIC collaboration games located elsewhere, right? 

(Of course, I haven't played them all yet because it's so big and there are so many collaboration games.. I'll make sure to play them all tomorrow!)

Among them, I'd like to recommend a few interesting games.

The first recommendation is

Poreia.

It can be seen as the journey of a cat robot searching for its human family.The booth is truly..

an eye-catcher. 

Other booths were made with banners,

and the reason is...

it's this cat robot, Soma's birthday! 

So it's wearing a birthday hat exclusively for BIC.

If you wish this friend a happy birthday,

you can even get merchandise.Isn't it so cute..I think seeing these various creative booths is the charm of offline events!I recommend you also wish Soma a happy birthday and get some cute merchandise. The second recommendation isCome to my party!

Unlike the cat Soma who gets birthday wishes, this is a game where the protagonist is the cat Jimin who doesn't get celebrated.I thought it was a bright game just by looking at the graphics,

but I was surprised by the profound and dark story.

Even though it's a visual novel,

it had various interactive elements and was unique,so I played it interestingly the whole time.

Also, the witty developer's humor!

I really couldn't help but take a picture of this, lol.

I'll be holding my breath until the day Jimin becomes the class president and throws a birthday party.

Besides this,

various game industry professionals came out to share various content about games,

and there was a Q&A session prepared,so I think it was an event that indie game developers would not regret attending.For those coming on Saturday and Sunday,

it would be good to check the event schedule above before coming!

I think there are few experiences where you can play games scheduled for release directly at an offline site and talk to the developers right next to you. 

There were a wider variety of games than I thought,so I felt that you could enjoy it enough without feeling burdened!If you are interested, I highly recommend you go on either Saturday or Sunday!I'll see you tomorrow with the Day 2 review!

Hello, this is Mashwang.

The game I'm reviewing today is!

≪ Touch the Artwork ≫

💬 Game Title  :  Touch the Artwork

💬 Game Genre : Puzzle, Casual, Other

💬 Release Date  :  2026.08.10

💬 Game Price : 10,500 KRW 8,400 KRW -20%

This game is a simple puzzle game, but it boasts an incredible level of difficulty.

At the same time, the game itself is quite sensory.

I'm not sure, but... there's something about it. Something...

Like the feeling of truly appreciating art?

Let's take a look at the game!

The tutorial is just a warm-up.

The game rules seem to be like this.

You have to complete the picture on the right to match the one on the left,

there is a limit to the number of moves,

and it does tell you in what order the operations will proceed.

It seems like it will get quite vicious later on.

The number of lines increases, and the directions change as well.

You have to perform a total of 6 operations while cycling through 4 types of moves.

I feel good whenever I solve these because it makes me feel smarter.

This time, coloring is introduced.

In the case of coloring, it colors the area adjacent to the clicked part.

The fact that it colors the area around the clicked part rather than the part itself makes it quite difficult.

The difficulty is gradually increasing...

You have to proceed with the feeling of working backward while looking at the picture on the left.

It's getting harder and harder...

Now even oblique pictures appear to confuse you.

Still, it's manageable for now.

It really feels like a game made to make you angry.

Now, it even hides the lines, forcing you to play by instinct.

Furthermore, since the order isn't fixed and you have to choose and apply the colors yourself, it feels even more difficult.

If the order were fixed, I could have just followed that...

There are quite a lot of stages, so I plan to enjoy it for a long time.

The price is discounted to the 8,000 KRW range, making it a very decent puzzle game to enjoy.

The difficulty is high enough to make it worth challenging.

I don't even read books much now that I'm an adult,

so I should keep my brain sharp by playing high-difficulty puzzle games like this.

This was Mashwang, thank you.

I couldn't stop smiling as I clicked the purchase button for Lonely Broadcast: Sim, especially since it's a game I've been waiting for every single day! 

The heroine illustrations for A Magical Girl Lives Next Door / My Childhood Friend Lives There look really pretty and the story seems fun too, so I hope the release date comes soon! 

Anyway, I hope you all have a great time gaming today!! 

We are releasing a 4-panel comic provided by Tare (@tare_nu)!
Come and see Lenore 👀

Legendary bond attack speed 92%.

Mythic bond X attack speed 100% 

Does this make any sense?

How is a Mythic worse than a Legendary bond?

The opportunity cost to pull one is 100 times higher, it's ridiculous.

That's why everyone, from top players to others, only pulls for Legendaries 

And why they don't spend money 

Hyojae, hurry up and awaken, and patch them to be worthy of being Mythic.

Give them 120% attack speed and better options, huh?
