It seems easier to make Veronica a bus driver first in this game.
The other guy can easily carve pottery.

This post is written subjectively, and the information about this game is as follows.

Before getting started

I'm a fat cat preparing for the full-fledged winter. (...I don't want to exercise, and winter food is delicious... Can I give up on bungeoppang and fish cake + fish cake soup at the food stall?) The game I'm going to introduce this time is an indie, deck-building, roguelike game called 'Hayo and the Emporium'. The reason I got to know and play this game is because of STOVE Indie's Wise Demo Life (currently Indie Boost Lab)I learned about this game there, and recently, this game appeared as a game recommended by AI on the main screen of STOVE Indie, and I was curious about how it would have changed from the demo version, and I was happy to see it after a long time, so I bought, downloaded, and played it.
Then, before I start talking about my thoughts in earnest, let me show you the gameplay video of this game first.

Gameplay video

Review

First of all, in the case of the game's story, it was right to call it a concept. 「While the owner goes on an adventure to find treasure, Hayo runs the general store instead of the owner.」 That was the whole story.
The game's controls were simple. You could do everything with just a mouse click.
The game's progression was also simple. You just had to pay the increasing store maintenance costs and hold out until the owner came back. (Excluding the Demon King mode, which is an infinite mode)
I thought the game's system was complex and well-made. I'll talk about it in detail in the pros and cons below, but I had to leave the game's progress to luck more than other roguelike games, but there was a taste of combining even in that situation.

The game's graphics were 2D graphics with an animation style, and apart from being cute, it had scenes that stimulated various imaginations? (If an empty bottle is placed next to an archer who is holding in urine, the empty bottle is filled with yellow liquid...)
In the case of sound, there was only one BGM and not many sound effects, but the sense of hitting (sound effects) was good, so I didn't feel bored.
Unfortunately, there were bugs. A total of 2 bugs were found while playing the game and writing the review, and the problem was that both of them were bugs that stopped the game from progressing or prevented the game from progressing normally. (Currently patched.)

Evaluation at the time of the demo version

Before dividing the game into pros and cons, let's talk a little bit, Honestly, I was more worried than 기대.
Based on the demo version, the drawing style is cute and there are scenes that stimulate various imaginations, but that was not the main (main content) of the game, and above all, unlike other deck-building likes, almost I had to rely on luck for everything, so there was almost no taste to it.
So I played the game with more worries than expectations about how it would be released, but until the beginning, it felt similar to the demo version, but At some point, I was playing the game like an old man spinning a slot machine in an arcade.
-Pros-

First activation performance of the Starlight Royal Family set effect

1. Fun of combining
-There was the fun of combining, which is the biggest fun of roguelike.
-As the maintenance cost required increases towards the end, it is true that good items appear towards the end, but that does not mean that the items you get in the beginning are weak or relatively bad.
-For example, there is a character called 'Eri', who basically destroys lower-level scrolls (10 gold when destroyed) that appear randomly in the selection with a 30% probability, but here, through the wizard's hat, wizard's tears, and wizard's teddy bear, you can stably acquire scrolls without having to choose a selection and destroy 20 each with a 60% probability. (Of course, you can mix other items here.)
-What's important here is that the activation condition of the card is in the form of a simple 'destruction' rather than a fixed condition such as 'destruction to Eri', so the deck could be combined flexibly. (Except for certain sets)

2. Fun to see and hear (sound, graphic performance)
-It was an advantage related to advantage 1.
-At first, I honestly didn't think it was an advantage. There are cute drawings and animations that stimulate various imaginations, but you get tired of it after one or two times, and there was only one BGM in the first place.
-However, it became an advantage in a different way as I started to combine in earnest and put a speed on the game.
-Items quickly appeared as if they were falling from above, and at the same time as a strong hitting sound, the screen shook and each item showed its own unique effect, making me feel like I was hitting a jackpot on a slot machine, and it made my dopamine explode, so it changed from just so-so to an advantage.

-Cons-

1. Difficulty of settling
-It took some time to really feel the fun, and the process was a bit unpleasant.
-It wasn't that all items were unlocked from the beginning, but that items that appeared by playing the game and achieving achievements were unlocked, but up to this point, it was the same as other games, but the problem was that this game was more affected by luck than other deck-building roguelikes.
-I had a lack of understanding of the game, and in a situation where I didn't have enough items to complete the deck, I had to proceed with the game with just luck, and I had to die several times in the process, and of course, watching that process wasn't very pleasant.
-So I think I didn't find it fun in the demo version.

Finishing

I'll finish. It was a fun game with the fun of combining and the fun of seeing and hearing.
However, since it depends more on luck than other games, the process of going to the stage of feeling fun felt a bit unreasonable.
-Additional-
1. I recommend playing the game at 3x speed. There are no particular disadvantages (time limit, etc.), and it maximized the moment when dopamine explodes.

2. In the beginning of the game, it is difficult to feel the fun of this game, and in the section where you feel the irrationality that varies depending on luck, there was a lack of things to feel fun, so I wish there were more performances (animation according to the set).

Introduction

This review is written randomly according to the author's stream of consciousness.

Please refer to other people's reviews for more details.

I was fortunate enough to win a Stove Beaver Rocks invitation ticket and went with a friend on the 6th (Saturday).

It was worth writing the two-line poem diligently :)

Actually, I was going to write it right after coming yesterday..

5 hours round trip + lack of sleep issue

1. Admission: Exciting mind, not so much waiting line

I like games, but it was my first game festival, so I visited with an exciting mind.

When I arrived around 10 o'clock and entered the Art Hall, I thought, 'Are there not many people because it's an indie game?'

Oops.

A long waiting line visible around the corner..

I was going to buy San Nabi goods, but the waiting line was so long that I gave up early ㅜㅜ

2. Guidebook & Quest System

If you exchange your ticket, you can receive this Beaver Rocks Guide & Quest Book.

Visitors are also called adventurers, which gave me a game-like feeling and made it easy to check what I could do ㅎㅎ

This is the quest guide page.

You can proceed with various quests such as greeting, playing games, and participating in stage events.

If you complete quests and collect stamps, you can exchange them for B tokens.

You can do a lottery at the reward zone with B tokens.

The overall layout is like this.

3. Game Booth: Concept is 'RGB'

In line with the concept, the game booth is divided into RGB + S (Sponsor Zone).

It was nice that the area was divided according to user preferences.

I ended up playing games mainly in the R and G zones.

There were many games I wanted to play, but there were so many people everywhere that I couldn't play as much as I thought ㅜㅜ

(I'm grateful that there's so much interest in indie games..)

I think it was because there were many booths with only 1-2 computers available for demonstration..

Still, it was so nice to be able to communicate directly with the game developers.

I solved my curiosity about the game, gave feedback, and shared other trivial topics.

And I was happy to receive various goods just by simple participation..

Aren't the keyrings so pretty??

4. Stage: Influencer Event

In addition to the game booth, another fun content was the influencer event held on the stage.

It was also a key source of B tokens for me.

I went to 'Jjamta SuA: Mission Impossible' and 'Kim Sung-hoe's Indie Game Jewel Box'.

The two of them were great talkers, and thanks to MC Lee Kang-hak's witty and smooth progress, I enjoyed it without realizing the time.

I thought I should watch and learn a lot ㅎㅎ

5. The long-awaited reward zone: REWARD, should I get it??

I enjoyed it hard all day, so I should get a REWARD, right?

I headed to the reward zone with the B tokens I had collected diligently.

In the reward zone, Naver Lucky Draw and the long-awaited B token lottery were prepared.

Four types of lottery were possible depending on the number of tokens: 1, 4, 8, and 12.

My goal is only one. Gaming mouse in the 12 draw line!

The probability is so good, right?

But just in front of us, someone 뽑으신 drew a mouse.

'Oh, it does get 뽑히긴 drawn.'

When I asked the staff who was guiding me, they said that there were more than 30 mice left, so don't worry.

If it's true, the probability seems to be over 20%, so I added a lot of excitement.

I even 몰아주기 gave the remaining tokens to my friend and challenged them once!

The result with the enthusiastic support of the staff was..!

Drum roll drum roll drum roll

.

.

.

Yes. It was a very kawaii 22-year-old cherry blossom Mococo doll~ (Dehet)

Probability is correct.

(Even both of us 뽑음 drew that..^^)

In conclusion

Anyway, I enjoyed Beaver Rocks 2025 like this.

It was a precious time to feel the hot enthusiasm of the indie game world.

I am grateful and overwhelmed that so many people participated and visited.

If you have time, be sure to visit the Indie Game Festival!

Satisfaction 98%, willingness to revisit 100%!

Thank you for reading :)

Please increase weapon drop even if its just for a day in old server like santiago..its been a month still no epic weapon

Dunno if video uploading works but this "combat information has been disrupted"  crap is making this game completely unplayable. How is this not rushed? Any game mode, any team, any situation - every card or ego played is giving this error message and the game "refreshes" with several seconds of a black screen

[Wanna bet?]

<There is an arena above the tavern>

<You will receive a request to help register two players to participate.>

<A person named Esther approaches and talks to you>

<She asks you to make Gra win.>

<I accidentally sprinkled itchy powder, so you can guess, right?>

<Let's join in too.>

<If you meet Bardi, he says he needs weapons and food.>

<Refer to the path to the 3rd tunnel for how to get to the Upper District>

<If you meet Bardok and ask for a weapon>

<He says he didn't sharpen the axe blade>

<He tells you to give it to him without sharpening the axe blade.>

<If you go to Tia, she says she can't give you food because she doesn't have meat.>

<To get meat, first go south.>

<Then you can meet the Snapter egg hunter.>

<One juicy piece of meat from the Snapter corpse on the way>

<3 Snapters, so +3 pieces of meat>

<5 Snapters, so +5 pieces of meat>

<You can get a total of 9 juicy pieces of meat.>

<In the non-existent debt quest>

<Note that you can get 2 juicy pieces of meat in Fridel's house box>

<If you bring 10 pieces of meat like this, they will make you a dish.>

<Add Earthroot to the food Tia gives you.>

<It becomes spoiled food, and if you take this, the preparation is complete.>

<Gra is located west of the market.>

<When you meet him, he says he can't fight without his axe>

<He says bandits stole it near the lumberjack camp.>

<If you go to approximately this location on the map>

<Then there is a side path.>

<If you go into the side path, there is a corpse.>

<It is best to lure and fight thieves one by one by throwing ranged weapons.>

<The second axe-wielding bandit is strong, so save before fighting.>

<You can get Snaga here.>

<If you bring Snaga to Gra, the preparation is complete.>

<You can bet money before the duel, up to a maximum of 500.>

<If you have done a good job, Gra will win.>

<Then you will receive double the bet.>

<The quest ends when you talk to Bardi.>

Originally, this quest was planned to be included in number 4, but there was more to explain than I thought, so I decided to separate it. Please note that even if you have completed all other preparations, Gra will lose if you do not retrieve Gra's axe.

If you scrape together all the money you have and bet it, the money will double, so this is a quest that can somewhat alleviate the lack of money in the early stages.
