Hello.
This is Uggyeolham, writing my second game review after French Connection.
The Curriculum series unfolds its story in the order of Sisters Curriculum → Sisters Curriculum After Story → Secret Curriculum.
Secret Curriculum, which is effectively the last one, can be considered a separate story, focusing solely on Baek Seon-hwa, the mother's route from Sisters Curriculum.
“Having gone through the process of being a teacher, I learned to love and completed my family.”
This is a very fitting statement for this game.
The game's quality is beyond question, and I don't see any reason to provide specific feedback.
While French Connection was lacking by 2%, this game, with its narrative, exciting story development, and the incredible voice acting, has overcome that 2% and overflowed. The Curriculum series has largely compensated for the shortcomings, and instead, it's about a tutor who goes to tutor but ends up in a romantic relationship with the student.
It's a work that has interestingly woven
a story that is somewhat ordinary yet special.
The characters' narratives were sturdier and more robust than I expected, and the Curriculum series' uniquely chewy story progression, which makes you want to see the conclusion of the stories you were curious about in the later After Story, was captivating.
Honestly, if you just look at the plot, you might think it's nothing special, but the core of this game is its gameplay, which makes you want to quickly move to the next episode to see the next part of the story.
This is the part I want to praise the most.
"Familiar tastes can be dangerous."
Ramen is also a very basic dish(?), and its taste varies depending on who cooks it. I think this game is similar.
The buildup of the narrative, the chewy story, and the desire to see the end of this game's story and conclusion have led me to write a second review.
Wajajak Games is not a company to be underestimated.
First, Woo Yeon-hee's route in Sisters Curriculum.
She loves the protagonist, but she's also sometimes like a friend, sometimes like a child, and sometimes straightforward – an unpredictable type, but that's her charm.
In her past, she lived as her father's puppet, fulfilling what her father couldn't achieve, acting as a substitute for him at home.
Her own choices, heart, and emotions were ignored, and she lived according to her father's wishes, suppressing everything.
Then, she meets the protagonist, who accepts her whining and does as she asks, and falls in love.
The ending of After Story, where the protagonist follows Yeon-hee abroad as an exchange student and lives there, is a conclusion where Yeon-hee's choices are respected, and she is seen as a person, not a tool, which fits well with Yeon-hee's narrative.
(But honestly, the development of After Story is a bit disappointing...)
This is Woo Yu-ri's route.
She loves the protagonist blindly and relies on him heavily.
Honestly, the ending of Sisters Curriculum was fun, but the story became somewhat boring in After Story. However, the story progressed with the theme of a bucket list, and I was immersed in watching her check off the small things she wanted to do one by one.
(You've all written one at least once as a child, right? A bucket list ㅋㅋ)
And at the end of After Story, she modifies the bucket list to 101, stating that she will now write down the things she wants to do.
Yuri's narrative was that she had achieved nothing on her own.
In her past home, her father only paid attention to Yeon-hee, and Yuri was neglected.
She also liked drawing first.
Her older sister, Yeon-hee, took everything away.
And Yuri was naturally weak.
In such a home, Yuri's only sanctuary was her room.
She shut herself in her room, closing off her life.
However, after meeting the protagonist, who takes Yuri around and lets her do things based on her own choices, Yuri felt a sense of accomplishment, realizing she had done something on her own, and because the protagonist made that happen, she developed feelings and they became lovers.
In that sense, writing down the things she wants to do from now on seems like a fitting conclusion to Yuri's narrative.
And finally, the true heroine's route, Baek Seon-hwa - Secret Curriculum.
This is the route that will be the main focus of this review.
• A divorced woman.
• A housewife who continued her marriage without receiving love from her husband.
• A famous and capable CEO in the design field.
The second point seems to be the most important narrative for us to examine.
She gets divorced and raises two children on her own.
However, as explained earlier, the father is trash.
He saw Yeon-hee only as a tool, and Yuri was neglected.
The mother did not receive the attention and love she deserved as a spouse.
Because she is a mother, but also a woman.
Simply because she is a capable and famous CEO.
Her family was secondary, and she spent 364 days a year abroad.
Her father was only interested in work, power, and his own position.
In that regard, the protagonist's attention made Baek Seon-hwa rediscover emotions she had forgotten.
The emotion of love.
Realizing that she too was capable of being loved.
As expected from Secret Plus, the inclusion of R-19 elements enhances immersion, and it's these elements that complete the character of Baek Seon-hwa, who longed for love and attention as a woman.
Our mother, who works hard and even does cosplay...
Our mother, who works hard and even does cosplay...
Concluding the review.
I still believe it was a game I don't regret playing.
Wajajak Games is truly not a company to be underestimated.
I have high expectations for their future games.
The ending song, 'White Flower,' left a deep lingering impression until the very end.
It was a perfect conclusion.
Wajajak Games, perfect until the end, please show them your love.

Thank you for reading my short review.
I will return with Wajajak Games' 'Who's is Manito?' later.
(I've been buying this company's games since French Connection, and I can't stop playing them, ah ㅋㅋ)
You will release Secret Curriculum After Story, right?
No, you absolutely must release it.
Day 1 of wishing for After Story
────────────────────
Writing Baek Seon-hwa's route After Story out of regret
• This novel is not official and is written solely out of personal regret.
“4 years of waiting, and the most perfect answer.”
​“You passed.”
​It had been 4 years since I heard those words. After being discharged from the military, returning to school, and dedicating myself to textbooks and design tools, sacrificing sleep. The reason I suffered from overwork to the point of dizziness, obtained certifications, and swept awards wasn't just because I was desperate for a job.
​When I stood by her side, I wanted to make it so that no one could even utter the words 'unworthy' when looking at us.
And I wanted to be able to stand confidently before her myself.
​#1. Broken Boundaries
And it was a quiet Saturday, with the interview just around the corner.
“Ugh... What’s wrong, my vision is blurry..”
The extreme fatigue I've been feeling lately.
Eyelids feeling like they're weighed down by lead.
“I have to endure... If I break down here, it won't be me...”
I hardened my resolve.
Because I can do anything for her.
Thinking this, I opened a caffeinated drink from the fridge and downed it in one go.
“Ahhh...”
The refreshing carbonation moistened my throat, and the caffeine revitalized my heart.
“Shall we go now?”
Today is the day I have a date with my mother.
She said she would treat me to a nourishing meal since the interview is close.
As I entered the house, my mother greeted me.
“Oh my? You’re here already? So fast... Oh, Teacher, your nose is bleeding!!”
My mother's expression was filled with surprise.
“Yes..?”
With these words, I lost consciousness.
​Afterward, what woke me was the smell of disinfectant and the faint sound of breathing beside me. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Seonhwa's face, her eyes swollen like a child's, having set aside her dignity as the chairman.
​“...Why did you push yourself this hard? Like a fool. Someone like a teacher... I could have... supported you even without these specs...”
​Her voice trembled. I raised my hand, which had an IV needle inserted, and covered her cold hand.
​“Yuri told me. That reality is cold. That in the end, Mother would be the one to get hurt.”
“......!”
“I hate seeing you get hurt because of me more than anything. I wanted to be more than just a lucky kid dating ‘Chairman Baek Seon-hwa,’ I wanted to be a man who could stand proudly beside you.”
​Did my sincerity reach her? Her face instantly turned bright red. Her usually composed demeanor was replaced by flustered embarrassment. She buried her face in my chest and shed tears.
“You really are... a foolish person... a fool... a fool....”
I held her without a word.
Because an indescribable emotion flowed into me.
​#2. A Feast of Revelation
​On my first payday after joining the company, I gathered my family in the same place as 4 years ago. The venue was the same high-class restaurant. But this time, the reservation was under my name, not hers.
​Yuri and Yeon-hee were wielding their forks, unaware of what was happening. I quietly took out my employee ID from my pocket and placed it in the center of the table.
“Yuri, you said before, didn't you? That our relationship would hurt Mom.”
“...Why are you bringing that up all of a sudden?”
​Yuri's eyes wavered. I tapped my employee ID and continued.
“So, I joined Mom’s company. That ‘reality’ you were worried about, this is my first step. The reason I collapsed from overwork last time was because I was preparing for this.”
​Silence fell over the table for a moment. Tears welled up in the eyes of the sharp-tongued Yuri, and then began to fall.
“Seriously... you’re so annoying. Who told you to go that far? Just being by her side would have been enough...”
Yeon-hee, on the side, tried to lighten the mood by saying, “Oh~ As expected! Different class!” but Yuri kept her head down, her shoulders shaking for a long time.
​#3. Full Stop, New Beginning
​As it was time for dessert, the restaurant lights began to dim one by one. In the darkness, the chef respectfully presented a dish. The name of the dish, illuminated by the soft light, was 'Eterno'.
​Love, and eternity.
​I stood up and turned towards her. My heart pounded so loudly I could hear it in my ears. From my pocket, I took out the ring case I had held in my heart for 4 years.
“Seonhwa-ssi.”
​The sparkling diamond shattered the light. She was already trembling, holding back tears.
“I intend to end the time I spent hiding behind the title of 'Mother.' I want to live as a husband who protects you from now on. Seonhwa-ssi, will you marry me?”
​A moment later, she extended her trembling hand. Her face, tear-streaked but beaming, was more perfect than any design I had ever seen.
“Yes... gladly.”
​The moment I slipped the ring onto her finger, Yeon-hee and Yuri, who had been watching, sniffled and said,
“Oh, seriously... it took you long enough, you turtle couple!”
​Yeon-hee's cheers, Yuri's grumbling, and Seonhwa-ssi sharing warmth in my arms. The anxious boy from 4 years ago was gone. Before me lay only a brilliant future with her.
Love is about filling each other's shortcomings.
Even a teacher doesn't know everything.
At first, he was a tutor, but later he learned to love and started a family.
This is the end of my story.
- Secret Curriculum After Story -

Recently, the new Umbra Persona mechanic was introduced to the game, where you can create your own card, but in my opinion, it's just more of a deck flood than a truly useful card.

Given the game's structure, the more cards in your deck, the worse it is, due to optimization, so why did they add another card That's the question.

What are your opinions about this?

It came out on the second try

It's a godsend for non-paying players
