( Turn on the computer right now )

Hello! I'm here to greet you with my first game review,Stove Crew 3rd term, Kim Jun-woo (aka. Visual Novel Master)!

I will introduce many fun and well-made games to you, worthy of my 25 years of being a game otaku,

and I hope you will look forward to me playing many games under the Stove Crew banner. 🙏🙏🙏

🎶 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 better than I expected.

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

Everyone, do you perhaps

'Visual Novel'

like this genre?

Visual Novelsare games that depict a story using text, illustrations, and CGs, and proceed by choosing options that appear during conversations.

It's a genre of game that is literally like a novel that you can see.

It's a genre.

It's a game genre that is literally like a novel you can see!

Secret Curriculum, which I will introduce today, is in this Visual Novel genre.

Now, shall we get into the game review in earnest!

Basic Game Information

It is the sequel to Sisters Curriculum, released on April 19th.

The heroine, Baek Seon-hwa, was an un-romanceable heroine at the time, 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 work, Sisters Curriculum.

"Mother"...That's right.. it was released with the unconventional title of a married woman (former) visual novel.

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

‼Spoiler Warning‼

📃 Game Content  

It starts with the protagonist, a university student, looking for a tutoring job.

He ends up tutoring at a magnificent house that reminds one of Parasite.

And then he meets the heroine, Baek Seon-hwa, who is prone to over-the-top reactions.

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

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

I won't be paying much attention to her this time.

(She's un-romanceable anyway... If you want to romance her, go to the previous game!)

Anyway, while diligently tutoring, the protagonist goes to the bathroom...

What a shameless fellow.

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

( He really got reported. )

In the end, he goes to the police station and the game ends with a prison sentence...

But that doesn't happen, and with Ms. Baek Seon-hwa's mediation,

the police leave.

One day, the protagonist goes on a field trip to his university with his student and her mother.

It turns out the mother was an alumna.

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 she doesn't have a father.

and learns that she doesn't have a father.

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

but also a lot of story time is dedicated to improving the relationship between the two sisters.

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

After that, various things happen...

He gets accidentally 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 drink together...

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

       (ㅠㅠ)

Will our protagonist

be able to reconcile the two daughters, gain their approval, and

end up with their mother?! (Not a dad joke!)

Story-wise,

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

Like in Sisters Curriculum, here too, by arbitrarily 'romancing' the daughters,'romancing'he scratches the hearts of the daughters.

("I'm younger!")

(You're their daughter, so of course that's true...)

(You're their daughter, so of course that's true...)

Since the previous work showed a lot of the two daughters' charm,

I thought the mother would be the sole focus, but the daughters also have a surprisingly high story weight.

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

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 concept I've ever encountered in my life.

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's pure love.

I played the previous game because of this game too (I'll post a review of the previous game if I have time.) 

2. High-quality service scenes, as expected from a 19+ game

As it's a game targeted at men, high-quality service scenes are included.

3. The main heroine's outfits

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

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

as well as 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 breathing life into the character of Baek Seon-hwa.

into breathing life into the character of Baek Seon-hwa

I can feel the effort.

( If I upload them, I'll get banned, so please check them 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 just reads smoothly.

5. Realism of the story

This is partly a pro and partly a con.

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

but I'm putting it in the pros for now because of the effort made to give the story some realism.

I'm putting it in the pros for now.

🍞Cons🍞

1. Lack of realism in the story

You might ask why it's a con when I just called it a pro.

Actually, it is a con!

Before, it was just for the effort!

The process of falling in love with Seon-hwa was too rushed.

It felt similar to the movie 'Your Name'.

Also, the process of persuading the daughters has some forced aspects.

Overall, the details were disappointing.

2. Quantity of service scenes

This might just be my greed wanting more.

Considering the price, I was a bit greedy haha

Summary Score (out of 5 / 1: ♥ / 0.5: ♡)

Story: ♥♥♥♥

(A powerful premise that makes you forget the disappointing details)

Art Style: ♥♥♥♥♥

(If you fall in love with the art, will you believe me..?)

Sound: ♥♥♥♥ 

(The song collaborated with a VTuber is good! Other music is average.)

Content: ♥♥♥

(It's a linear visual novel, so there wasn't much content, but there are extra stories, so check them out!)

Convenience: ♥♥♥♥♥

(The 'Shall we go to that conversation from the log?' feature is great! View service scenes 200 times!)

Married Woman: ♥♥♥♥♥

(The characterization as a married woman is a bit disappointing, but it's the best first married woman pure love game!)

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

Thank you!!

Hello? This is Stove Crew's Kim Jun-woo (aka the curated game freak).

Today, I will be reviewing Storm Maid, a game featuring a protagonist who dreams the same dream as mine.

It might not be to your taste, but please overlook it for the sake of my dream!

I am including minor spoilers.

Overview

It begins with a very impure intention: the protagonist, who dreams of becoming a maid cafe owner, starts by looking for a job.

In an empty maid cafe, after being treated as a customer by a beautiful maid-chan, Jun-bung-kun somehow passes the test (called a tutorial) and becomes the manager...

However, our Bell-chan's maid cafe was worth 100,000 gold... (Should have signed a labor contract...)

However, the game begins with the protagonist steeling their resolve and working hard.

Gameplay

The game involves hiring maids with distinct personalities, stats, appearances, and backgrounds,

and when customers arrive, you assign them to a maid one-on-one to extract money. (One-on-one? Where is that? I'm going right now!

Customers also have preferences for the style or personality of the maid they want, and you can assign maids based on whether the customer is a maid cafe enthusiast or a beginner.

Additionally, various random mini-games occur like this, and succeeding grants greater rewards (As expected, maid cafes are about omurice~ Make it delicious~ Make it delicious~

New maids are usually obtained through maid recruitment, but you can acquire special maids through special events like this. (But screaming 'Kyaaaeek!' at someone's face is too much, suspicious girl... I almost quit the game.)

Pros

In fact, rather than the harem of beautiful girls I mentioned at first, the fun leans heavily towards the unique enjoyment of a management game. So, is it boring? Not at all.

It's packed with non-stop absurd jokes and numerous homages and parodies of games that game enthusiasts will recognize and find amusing, providing many laugh-out-loud moments.

Also, there's the fun of unlocking new maids and dressing them in new outfits (Bikini maid outfit for only 300,000 gold

There are also collaborations with various dating sims, and after finishing this game, I plan to play Secret Curriculum, so I might even buy the DLC...?

If you're interested, give it a look.

Review
The idea of running a business game as a maid cafe seems excellent. I've encountered many games with a medieval tavern concept, but

A maid cafe... hehehe, it's indeed great...
There were so many mini-games that it was fun, but also a bit overwhelming.
As someone who enjoys dot-art games, it felt like I had a deep experience with the dot-art heroines, which was great. However, those who dislike dot-art should take note... I'll have to play again after finishing Secret Curriculum!

The overall score would be around 3.8 out of 5!

It was a fun, absurd dot-art game after a long time.

Thank you for reading this long post!
