Point & Click Korean Folk Horror Game, 《God(GOT)》Team Geudeok Interview

Notice: The developer interview series may contain some key content related to in-game images and stories of the game. Please be aware of spoilers for those who are new to the game. The developer interview series may contain some content about scenes or story development in the game. Please keep this in mind if you do not want spoilers..

The photos and interview content used in the interview were provided by the creator through Discord, etc. Feel free to contact us for interviews regardless of the platform. (Real-time interviews or questionnaires are possible depending on the creator's preference!)

Interview : Q (hashiruka48) / A (Team Geudeok)
Game Title : God (GOT)
Genre : Horror, Point & Click

Creator : Team Geudeok

First, please give us a brief introduction to the developer or team.

If you developed it as an individual or as a team, please also introduce what role you are in charge of.

- Hello, this is Team Geudeok, who is making God (GOT). We are a team of 3 people who gathered to create a horror game based on Korean folk culture. Art Damu, Yachaebbang in charge of story and content planning, and Insul in charge of system planning, programming, and sound are working together.

The title ‘God (GOT)’ is very impressive. What is the meaning or intention behind the game title?

- God is a homonym for the English word GOD and GOT, and it is also a traditional Korean hat that symbolizes the son of heaven or connection with heaven. All three meanings were selected as the title because they fit well with the story and context of our game.

What made you start developing the game ‘God (GOT)’?

I am also curious if there was a special event or reason that led you to decide to develop it.

- God was first conceived in 2024 by Yachaebbang to submit to itch's game jam 'beautiful horror'

(https://itch.io/jam/beautiful-horror-jam). At the time, it was a text-based game of about 20 minutes using Twine, and Insul, an acquaintance, heard the idea and proposed collaboration, and the project began. Later, Art Damu joined to concretize the planning and form a team, and full-scale development began.

According to the introduction, it deals with strange phenomena that occur after the grandmother's funeral.

Is there an emotion or message you wanted to convey through this setting?

- A funeral is an event where an individual faces death. I thought that the various complex emotions and atmosphere felt after something that existed disappeared would suit the introduction of the game. It is also related to the core elements of the story.

Although it is a horror game, the story takes place in a limited space called ‘small room’.

Is there a reason for choosing this confined space?

- I wanted to express the horror that occurs in the most ordinary, unique space of an individual. Because there is an atmosphere that comes from the horror that occurs when things that you thought you knew are twisted.

I heard that ‘God (GOT)’ was developed with RPG Maker MV.

I am curious about the reason for choosing this engine and the pros and cons you felt while using it.

- I chose RPG MV to capture the rough feeling through the tile system and rigid UI. The advantages I felt while using it are that it has all the basic elements and that it is more expandable through plug-ins than before, and the disadvantage is that it is difficult to implement unexpected parts and I end up wandering around.

Compared to existing Tsukuru (RPG Maker) horror games, what are the differentiating points or unique attempts of ‘God (GOT)’?

- ‘God’ is a game conceived with inspiration from various horror games and movies. We tried to differentiate it by focusing on Korean themes, and I think the fact that we sought advice from various experts in the process can be a differentiating point.

You said that it proceeds in a point-and-click manner. What role do you think this method plays in conveying a sense of horror?

- Point-and-click is a genre that only allows limited interactions of clicking on an object and checking the reaction, and I think this increases the anxiety and fear caused by sudden changes or horror directing.

You said that you expressed ‘classic analog sensibility’ in the game’s visuals and sound direction.

Could you tell us specifically what parts you put that sense into?

- We tried to give a visual analog feel by limiting the use of colors and creating screen effects such as noise. The sound is being produced by intentionally lowering the sound quality or applying a muffled filter.

The play time was planned to be about 2 hours.

What kind of composition did you consider to maximize immersion within a short play time?

- We want to maximize various horror productions and unexpected situations, and increase immersion by adding adaptive sound elements.

In terms of the intensity or atmosphere of horror, what emotion is ‘God (GOT)’ focused on?

I am also curious whether you emphasized other emotions such as ‘anxiety’ or ‘discomfort’ rather than simple ‘surprise’.

- ‘God’ focuses on the surprise given by various unpredictable horror elements. There is also an aspect inspired by the movie ‘The Wailing’. I tried to capture the anxiety of not being able to understand the situation.

What age rating do you expect for the game?

For example, does it include visual shock or psychological horror expressions?

- Direct violent images and disgusting productions will not be included. The age rating is expected to be 12-15 years old.

On which platform will the game be released?

(e.g. PC, Steam, [itch.io](http://itch.io/) etc.) Do you have any mobile plans?

- We are focusing on preparing for PC release through Steam. We will try to release it on other platforms if conditions allow!

How are you planning language support?

Are there any plans to support overseas languages such as English and Japanese in addition to Korean?

- We plan to support English, Japanese, and Chinese.

Please tell us about any memorable episodes or difficult parts during the development process.

- In the process of conceiving the game's setting, a humanities lecture that I happened to listen to for fun was a lecture on shamanic beliefs, which is the subject of the game. It was difficult to conduct professional research on the parts that were blocked, but I was able to listen to the lecture and get good insights by asking for advice from the professor who gave the lecture at the time.

To fans who like horror games, or to players who want to understand the developer's perspective, what would you like to say about how you would like them to enjoy ‘God (GOT)’?

- As a person who likes classic movies and horror games, I wanted to combine the fun of this genre with the Korean theme that we are familiar with.

Lastly, please give a message to the fans and sponsors who are waiting for the game.

- I am working hard with the desire to surprise everyone who enjoys the game! Please look forward to it!

P.S

You worked hard today too.

See you tomorrow~

The 55th anniversary fodder is going to be amazing
5 five-star selection tickets and
Maybe about 550 gacha pulls?

I drew a partner card Yvonne!

I'm looking at the developer notes now, and it looks like they're going to release Yuki's cleavage spam as is in the in-game update photo lol

Are these guys not even checking their own issues anymore? lol Is it that they don't know because there are too many?

Existing Yuki 2D illustration that was perfectly well drawn

In the leaked in-game illustration, it was changed to the illustration below 

It's an illustration with a quality that anyone can see was made with AI and only retouched lol

They're stubbornly insisting that they didn't use AI 

If not, well, did they kick out the art team due to internal politics and redraw it? lol

Or did they not like the original illustration and hastily redraw it without proper review?

Or did they choose this because it looked better, and the reviewer is a blind bastard who chose to release it with this kind of illustration?

If all of these cases are wrong, please refute me 

Don't just stubbornly insist it's not

Hello! This is Stove Crew Kim Ha-min 😊

The game I brought today is

[Soul Wander]!

Game Name | Soul Wander

Genre | Roguelike, Action, RPG, Platformer

Developer | MYMEStudio

Rating | Rated 12+

Release Date | October 27, 2025

Price | 11,000 won

Store Page : https://store.onstove.com/ko/games/102770?invenflint1029

[Soul Wander] is about a girl 'Fade' who was born with the special ability to handle colors in a village deprived of color.

'Fade' is the story of a girl named 'Fade' who was born with special powers to handle colors.

Fade sets out on a dangerous journey

to get back the lost colors.

[Soul Wander] is a game that deliciously blendsPlatformer format with Action + Rogue Like + RPG.

At the start of the game, you choose 2 out of 5 weapons to enter the dungeon, and

you can strengthen your character and weapons with the resources and items you earn by hunting the swarming monsters inside.

You can strengthen your character and weapons with the resources and items you earn by hunting the swarming monsters inside.

The ultimate goal is to defeat all the boss monsters of the five races.

(Since it is an early access game, you can only play boss monsters of two races at the moment.)

Personally, I enjoy action games, and I think the most important thing in action games is

the thrill of hitting.

[Soul Wander] has a fairly heavy impact for a 2D action game,

and the impact and skill effects also serve as a great element to reduce boredom

without hindering gameplay.

(Oh, this is totally old Maple...)

When you're hunting, you naturally think of Maple.

2D platformer, various monsters, elite monsters, classes and weapons, the fun of hunting, etc.

It's only natural to think of Maple when you're playing.

So, if you like action RPGs, whether you enjoy them lightly or heavily,

I don't think there are any obstacles to enjoying it.

There are 5 types of weapons in [Soul Wander].

(From left to right: sword, bow, chakram, wand, spear)

If you had to classify them by class, they would be swordsman, archer, rogue, mage, and spearman.would be.

The biggest advantage of [Soul Wander] is that there are 5 weapons, each with 4 skills.

Of course, once you choose 2 weapons on the starting screen, you can't change weapons until you die and start again,

but just experiencing the various weapons and skills is enough to make the playtime worthwhile.

but just experiencing the various weapons and skills is enough to make the playtime worthwhile.

(Before entering the dungeon, you can choose 2 out of 5 weapons.Once equipped, you can't exchange them until you die!)

Below are the basic skills of the 5 weapons.

A, S, D are basic skills, and F is the ultimate skill..

Additionally, there is a Liberation Skill that uses a gauge to fill up,

but it seems to be causing some lag in the current in-game.

In the weapon selection area before entering the dungeon, you can try out each weapon

and there is a scarecrow installed that you can actually hit.

(This is the friend. Kinda cute, right?)

Beat up the scarecrow and find the impact that suits you best!

Choose and equip 2 types of weapons.

Personally, I think it's a good balance to choose one of the melee weapons: sword, chakram, or spear,

and one of the ranged weapons: bow or wand.

and one of the ranged weapons: bow or wand.

I like fast weapons with a lot of hits, so I found the chakram

the most fun and not boring when hunting.

After that, when you go into the dungeon and hunt,

you can get various resources!

You can use these to strengthen your weapons~

There is a space you encounter after going through two dungeons at the beginning.

(Home Sweet Home)

This is the space.

In this space, there are three buildings:Soul Enhancement Center, Shrine of Seal Release, and Weapon Refinement Altar..

If you head to the weapon reforge here, you can enhance your weapon.

무기를 강화하는 재료는 오른편 상단에 있는 재화 중 두 번째 순서에 있는

무지개 색깔의 돌입니다.

각 무기는 저마다 세 가지의 형태로 진화할 수 있고

기본 공격부터 가지고 있는 네 개의 스킬이 모두 변하기 때문에

좋아하는 무기가 생긴다면 세 가지 진화 형태의 무기를 모두 플레이해보시고

최애 진화 무기를 정하는 것도 하나의 재미가 될 것 같습니다.

(물론 새로운 진화 무기를 플레이하려면 죽어야 한다는 사실...)

무기를 다 고르고 나면 오른쪽으로 쭉 이동해서 던전으로 향하는 포탈을 타야 합니다.

(오른쪽의 X자 나무에 다가가면 포탈이 열립니다.)

그렇게 포탈을 타고 들어가면 지금은 두 개만 존재하는 던전 입구를 만날 수 있습니다.

(앞서 해보기라서 두 개의 던전 입구만 열려 있습니다.)

[소울 원더]는 5를 참 좋아하는데요.

5개의 무기, 5개의 던전, 5개의 종족이 존재합니다.

늑대, 사슴, 상어, 뱀, 여우 종족이 5개의 종족인데 주인공 페이드가

이 종족들을 때려 잡는 것으로 보아 이놈들이 페이드의 마을이 가지고 있던

영혼의 색깔을 빼앗아 간 놈들이라는 것을 유추할 수 있습니다.

그것도 빨강, 노랑, 초록, 파랑, 보라를 사이 좋게 하나씩 나눠 가졌죠.

또 페이드가 사용하는 무기들은 각 종족의 무기입니다.

빨강 - 여우(완드)

노랑 - 뱀(차크람)

초록 - 사슴(활)

파랑 - 상어(창)

보라 - 늑대(검)

현재 던전 입구는 사슴과 늑대 종족만 열려 있지만 저건 보스의 존재 여부에만 영향을 미칩니다.

한마디로 어느 입구로 들어가던지 모든 종족을 다 만날 수 있다는 이야기입니다.

먼저 초록색의 던전 입구로 들어간 저는 사슴 형님들을 만났습니다.

일단 던전에 들어가면 몬스터들을 사냥하여 상단에 있는 초록색 바를 채우고 빛의 나무를 활성화해야 합니다.

그래야 나갈 수 있는 입구가 생기기 때문이죠.

그렇다면 그 위에 있는 흰색 바는 무엇이냐?

바로 몬스터들이 강해지는 주기를 나타내는 타이머입니다.

자세히 보시면 해당 바는 총 네 개의 구역으로 나뉘어져 있는데요.

구역에서 구역으로 넘어갈 때마다 던전에 소환되는 몬스터들이 강해집니다.

사실 빛의 나무는 몬스터를 생각보다 조금만 사냥해도 자라나기 때문에

던전에서 금방 나갈 수 있습니다.

하지만 이 게임의 장르는 뭐죠? 바로 RPG입니다.

몬스터를 쓰러뜨려서 나오는 온갖 재화들을 그냥 두고 밖으로 나갈 RPG 유저는 없죠.

던전에서 나오는 몬스터들은 공통적으로 은색 동전과 무지개색 보석을 떨굽니다.

그리고 캐릭터 능력치를 강화하는 데에 사용하는 각종 색깔의 영혼들은

해당 색깔을 가진 종족을 사냥해야만 얻을 수 있습니다.

예를 들어 사슴 형님들은 초록색을 가지고 있기 때문에 초록 영혼을 드랍합니다.

그렇기에 계속해서 사냥을 하면 좋겠지만, 난이도가 상승하면 처음에 두방컷이 나던

몬스터들이 점점 피지컬을 키워서 세 대를 때려도 버티기 시작합니다.

(벌크업하신 사슴 형님덜...)

시간이 더 지나면 거의 보스에 해당하는 엘리트 몬스터들도 등장하기 때문에

적당히 돈 땄으면 판 접고 집에 가는 것이 현명합니다.

그렇지 않으면 들어간 첫 던전부터 죽고 태초마을로 돌아가는 불상사가 발생할 수도 있습니다.

(어떻게 알았냐고요? 저도 알고 싶지 않았습니다...)

비상탈출을 원한다면 맵 가운데에 있는 빛의 나무로 달려가 G키를 꾹 누르면 됩니다.

(비상탈출!!!)

빛의 나무를 무사히 활성화시키면 보상과 함께

다음 던전을 향할 수 있는 두 개의 포탈이 생깁니다.

보상은 능력치를 강화하는 장비를 제공하는데요.

장비는 총 5개를 장착할 수 있습니다.(이것도 5개죠?)

보상으로 나오는 장비는 3개 중 옵션을 보고 하나를 고르면 되겠습니다.

초반에는 공격속도와 피해량이 매우 중요하기 때문에 해당 능력치 위주로

골라주면 좋다고 생각합니다.

사실 액션 RPG 하는데 공속이랑 피해량 안 고르면 그건 좀...

이후에는 포탈을 타면 됩니다.

그런데 여기서 중요한 점은 내가 원하는 색깔의 던전이 안 나왔다면

던전을 바꿔서 갈 수 있다는 것!

물론 몬스터를 사냥해서 나오는 재화인 은색 동전을 내야되긴 합니다.

하지만 여기 말고는 딱히 사용되는 곳이 없기 때문에 마음껏 사용하셔도 됩니다.

사슴 형님들만 나오면 서운하니까 아래는 다른 종족 형님들 사진을...

(눈이 예쁜 상어 형님들)

(사무라이 같이 생긴 뱀 형님들)

(They are evolved wolf brothers, but they look quite fierce.)

(Even the fox brothers who shoot magic)

For a platformer game, the dungeon map composition is also diverse,

Especially the composition of monsters was attractive.

In the beginning, ordinary monsters that are easy to deal with appear, but they become stronger as time passes,

It was fun to see and hunt stronger normal monsters + elite monsters using skills.

If you wander around the dungeon, a portal to your home will open.

That's the space I mentioned when explaining weapon information.

Along with weapon enhancement, you can enhance stats and unlock the potential options of equipment.

First,Soul Enhancement CenterYou can enhance your stats at.

You can upgrade each stat with souls obtained by hunting monsters.

Red - Attack Power

Yellow - Critical Chance

Green - Attack Speed

Blue - Defense

Purple - Skill Cooldown Reduction

Initially, 10 souls can be engraved on one weapon.

ButIf you evolve the weapon, this space becomes 20It increases to.

Therefore, identify what stats are necessary or preferred for your character and

You can upgrade by distributing them appropriately.

Secondly,Shrine of Seal ReleaseYou don't really have much chance to go to.

There are weapons with additional effects from time to time in the reward weapons you can get by clearing dungeons.

(Like this~)

To use additional effects, you must unlock them through rainbow-colored gems at the Shrine of Seal Release.

(The result of unlocking additional effects... I wish they had made it a little prettier...)

It doesn't look that pretty, but it was an effect that helped in battle ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

As I mentioned above, the ultimate goal of [Soul Wonder] is to catch the boss monsters of each race.

Currently, only two bosses can be hunted.

Since you can directly determine the order in which you encounter boss monsters, a detailed strategy for boss monsters is

I will find out when all five races of bosses come out.

First, Dryad, the boss of the deer race, and Fenrir, the boss of the wolf race, which are currently open.

Both can be easily defeated if you meet them as the first boss monster.

The problem is that if you meet them as the second boss monster, you cannot defeat them in their current state.

(Dryad is a master sniper.)

(Fenrir is a macho man.)

I tried playing by changing the order of the two boss monsters.

When I met them as the first boss monster, they only showed weak skills and simple patterns,

When I met them as the second boss monster, I was killed without even hitting them properly.

I couldn't hit it at all because of the various patterns and wide range of skills.

I don't think it's my hand problemㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Since it's an early access game, until other boss monsters come out

I think they set it up so that you can't defeat the second boss monster...

If that's not the case, a balance patch for the second boss monster seems necessary.

There wasn't much content to enjoy as it was before the official release,

It was a game where you could have enough fun just looking at various weapons, skills, and monsters.

The dot design and 2D platformer format created a visual that went very well with the gray-white background.

The map design and BGM were also not monotonous, which minimized the boredom that can be felt when hunting.

Although it is still incomplete, the biggest advantage of [Soul Wonder] is that you can have enough fun with just hunting.

There are two things I personally found disappointing.

The first isStorylineAbsence of.

I think it would be a shame to pick a good setting and design and just go for hunting.

I think it will be a very good masterpiece if the story of Fade and the five races is well incorporated when it is officially released.

Secondly,Liberation Skill Lagphenomenon.

There is a liberation skill that can be used by collecting gauges in the game.

It can be used smoothly in the tutorial, but when you actually go into the dungeon and use it in practice,

There are many cases where there is lag. 

If you supplement only this much and release it officially, it will definitely be a work that can receive good reviews from gamers.

A game that anyone who likes action RPGs will fall in love with

A game that feels like the authenticity of a 2D platformer roguelike 

A game that is even more anticipated in the future

Until now[Soul Wonder]was!

Thank you for reading the long article.

I will be back with the next game review 🤗
