Content Review

Q. Why did you write "Developer's First Full Album"?

While playing the game, I heard several songs for the first time, and it felt like watching a movie.

The album has many tracks, and I liked how the developer placed those tracks appropriately in the game and directed them immersively, making it feel like watching a music video for a movie.

That's why I described this game as an album.

(Personally Recommended Track)

Q. What was your first impression of this game?

I first encountered this game at the Indie Boost Lab.

What impressed me the most at that time was the music.

So I thought this game would definitely gain attention for its music, and

I tried to find the music composed by the developer, but I was disappointed that the soundtrack was not released until the official launch.

Still, I'm glad I can listen to the songs now that it's officially released.

The music quality is high, so it's a game I can strongly recommend to those who want to immerse themselves in the game's story.

(If you want to listen to the songs, you can find them on the developer's YouTube channel)

Q. Were there any disappointing aspects?
- The repetitive direction was disappointing.

The music heard during the busking scene was replayed, seemingly designed to feel like the end of the day, but it felt more boring than new.

It would have been better if they were different songs, but it seems like they prioritized efficiency due to limited resources.

- The mini-game during the chase scene was a bit difficult.

Even if you fail all of them, it doesn't affect the story, but it was a bit disappointing that the difficulty was designed to stimulate the desire to challenge.

The changing position of the timing bar and the need to carefully press left and right notes made it difficult to focus on the chase scene direction.

The mini-game during the chase scene might be a bit difficult, but it doesn't significantly affect the story!

The existing music-related direction was designed to be casual and focused on listening rather than input interaction, so I think the consistency is somewhat lacking in this area.

It would have been better if it was designed to match the atmospheric mood, leaving a sense of regret.

Q. How would you like to introduce this game?
I would say it's a game worth trying if you want a game that focuses on the story.

While gameplay is often prioritized in games, immersing oneself in the story and interacting is also part of the game.

It's a well-designed game as a story immersion genre, and for those who want to watch a movie with great music,《HOME: Going Home》I recommend it.

Finally, I'll leave you with the developer's Q&A.

There's information on how the developer came to make this game and about their next project, so please take a look!

This concludes the review of 《HOME: Going Home》.

I'll be back with another great game in my next review.

Thank you!

It's hard to make out the shape, but it's the title screen...

I am also attaching the computer specs below 

I upgraded from the existing 'Guardian+Life' to 'Weakening+Pursuit'.
And her last balance patch was in August 2022, the month I enlisted, and it's already been 4 years. When will she ever get a buff...

Bought everything... What a bug, this error keeps popping up whenever I use auto-battle

I painstakingly completed it one by one, grinding through, and finally finished it all... and that's on 3 accounts..

Let's never see this again... ㅡㅡ^

"Seriously.. what's so interesting about a widow with a child.."

🎶 Before we begin, I'll start by playing the ending song from Secret Curriculum. (Why play the ending song at the beginning?)🎶

(It's sung by the famous VTuber HaroHa. The song turned out surprisingly well.

The lyrics seem to capture the emotions of the game's heroine, Seonhwa! )

Everyone, do you perhaps

2024 It's the sequel to Sisters Curriculum, released on April 19th.

In the previous game, the heroine Baek Seon-hwa was a character that couldn't be romanced, but 

she has taken the role of the main heroine in the sequel, Secret Curriculum.

This main heroine, Baek Seon-hwa, is the "mother" of the heroines from the previous game, Sisters Curriculum.

"Mother"...That's right... it was released with the unconventional title of "Married Woman (Ex) Visual Novel".

So, shall we delve into the detailed game content of this terrifying concept?

‼Spoiler Warning‼

📃 Game Content  

                               The game begins with the college student protagonist looking for a tutoring job. He takes on a tutoring job at a luxurious house that reminds one of "Parasite."

                                                                            Then, he meets our heroine, Baek Seon-hwa, the cause of all the misunderstandings.

This is Yu-ri, my future daughter and student, who is retaking college entrance exams.

I won't have much reason to pay attention to her in this installment.

(I can't romance her anyway... If you want to romance her, go to the previous game!)

Anyway, while diligently tutoring, the protagonist goes to use the restroom...

What a scoundrel.

Following the cliché, a lucky pervert event occurs where he sees the heroine naked.

( He really got reported. )

In the end, the game ends with a prison sentence after being reported to the police...

But that's not the case, and with Ms. Baek Seon-hwa's mediation,

the police leave.

One day, the protagonist's tutoring student and her mother visit the protagonist's university for a field trip.

It turns out the mother is an alumna of the same university.

This leads to the two of them rapidly growing closer...

He also meets Yu-ri's older sister, Yeon-hee, at the university 

and learns that they come from a single-parent household.

As in the previous game, not only the relationship with Seon-hwa,

but also a significant portion of the story is dedicated to improving the relationship between these two sisters.

A significant portion of the story is dedicated to improving the relationship between these two sisters.

( So, who is the mother among the three? )

After that, various events occur...

He accidentally gets crushed during a sports game... (Hehehe...)

While shopping for clothes, it happens to be a "Dongtan look"... (Hehehe...)

He escorts the mother, who is the head of a company... (Hehehe...)

They also drink together...

( Cheers to your eyes, I'm drunk on you )

       (ㅠㅠ)

Will our protagonist

After reconciling with his two daughters and gaining their approval,

be able to have a good relationship with their mother?! (This is not a dad joke!)

Story-wise,

the conflict with the daughters that naturally arises as the protagonist gets closer to Seon-hwa was truly difficult...

Just like in Sisters Curriculum, here too, by arbitrarily "romancing" the daughters,

he scratches their hearts.

("I'm younger!"

(You're their daughter, so of course you are...)

Since the two daughters were so charming in the previous game,

I thought the focus would be solely on the mother, but the daughters also have a surprisingly significant role in the story.

I think it was a choice made for the completeness of the story.

Is it a consideration for those who haven't played the previous game..?

💯Overall Review   and   Conclusion

An overwhelming service work with a unique premise

A "married woman pure love" visual novel

This is the first game I've ever encountered with this concept.

Let's take a look at the pros and cons.

💯Pros💯

1. A synopsis that's hard to resist

I started this game solely for the concept of a "married woman pure love".

I played the previous game because of this game too (If I have time, I'll post a review of the previous game as well.) 

2. High-quality service scenes, befitting a 19+ game

As a game targeted at men, it features high-quality service scenes.

3. The main heroine's outfits

The main heroine, Seon-hwa, changes her outfits constantly.

From casual wear, suits, and sportswear for daily life,

to service-oriented outfits like bunny girl, "Dongtan look," and maid outfits...

She appears in such a variety of outfits that it feels like the developers

put a lot of effort into bringing the character of Baek Seon-hwa to life.

It feels like they put a lot of effort into bringing the character of Baek Seon-hwa to life.

( If I post them, I'll get banned, so please check them out in the game! )

4. Understandable even without playing the previous game

Prequels, sequels, or side stories like these

are often difficult to understand without playing the previous game.

However, Secret Curriculum is not like that!

It reads smoothly.

5. Realism in the story

This is partly a pro and partly a con.

I'll discuss it more in the cons section later,

but I'm including it as a pro for now because of the effort made

to add a degree of realism to the story.

🍞Cons🍞

1. Lack of realism in the story

You might be wondering why I called it a pro earlier. Well,

it's actually a con!

Earlier, it was more about the effort score~!

The process of getting closer to Seon-hwa felt too rushed.

It felt similar to the movie "Your Name."

Also, the process of persuading the daughters felt a bit forced.

Overall, the details were lacking.

2. Quantity of service scenes

This might just be my personal desire for more.

Given the price, I felt a bit greedy haha

Summary Score (out of 5 / 1: ♥ / 0.5: ♡)
Story: ♥♥♥♥ (Compelling premise that makes you forget the lacking details)
Art: ♥♥♥♥♥ (If you fall in love with the art, will you believe me..?)
Sound: ♥♥♥  (The song collaborated with a VTuber is great! Other music is average.)
Content: ♥♥♥ (It's a linear visual novel, so there wasn't much content, but check out the extra stories!)
Convenience: ♥♥♥♥♥ (The 'Go to that conversation from the log?' feature is great! View service scenes 200 times!)
Married Woman: ♥♥♥♥♥ (Characterization as a married woman is slightly lacking, but it's the best for a first "married woman pure love" game!)

This has been Kim Jun-woo (aka. Visual Novel Master) from Stove Crew Season 3!
