Hello, this is Mashwang.

The game I'm reviewing today is!

≪ DEFRAG.EXE ≫

💬 Game Name  :  DEFRAG.EXE

💬 Game Genre : Puzzle, Strategy, Casual

💬 Release Date  :  2026.08.04

💬 Game Price : 7,000 won 4,200 won -40%

There is a game with a similar name.

This is a review of the game below.

To describe this game,

based on the rules of the 2048 game,you just need to eat smaller enemies with units that have larger numbers.Also, units with the same number merge when they meet.

The rules sound simple, right?

But this game is not easy.

So, let's start the review!

The main screen has quite a vibe.

I see there is a ranking system too?

Today, I'll aim to hit 1st place.

But I don't know if it's just me,

but the moment I touch another window, the game becomes unresponsive.

So I had to focus only on this game while playing it...

This is quite a shame.

This is the game tutorial.

Following the 2048 rules, two of my units with the same number can merge.

And when they move and collide with an enemy unit, the one with the higher number wins.

Swiping is done once by me on my turn, and once by the enemy on their turn.

In other words, the enemy can also attack.

So, do you only win if your number is higher?

You can win even if the numbers are the same.

In this case, the first-attack advantage is given based on the direction of movement.

If I had swiped down in the situation above, I would have died.Direction is also very important.

And you must

defeat all enemies within the turn limit.If you exceed it, the game is over.

If your units are wiped out, the game is over.

This game is a

roguelike.As you clear each stage, you get

gold,and a

shop appears every time you clear stages 3, 6, and 9.In the shop, you can buy one-time items

,and there is no limit to the number of items, but you can only hold 2 types.A unique point is that these purchased items

are maintained even if you start a new game after a game over

.You can even sell them, so they will be useful in many ways, especially in multiple playthroughs.A

boss

appears at the last stage of every chapter.If an allied unit is adjacent to the boss, it attacks automatically every turn.The boss doesn't attack just because it's adjacent, but it unleashes an

area-of-effect attack every certain turn

.Although the enemy swipe AI is quite stupid,it's heartbreaking to see allied units get destroyed because it sometimes swipes towards the area attack as if it were intentional.

Then, I somehow broke my all-time high score and faced the

Chapter 3 boss battle

...Wait, is it right that they only give me this many allied units?In the end, I was soundly defeated.

It seems there are up to 5 chapters...

I think I'll need to acquire a lot of

items that increase the level of allied units

.It seems like the intention is to play multiple times by utilizing item retention.Still, I proudly took 1st place as of August 4th.

It seems like a really good game to enjoy lightly,

so I think I'll play it occasionally to clear the

achievements.But how am I supposed to clear this one?

Are you telling me to clear the Chapter 3 boss with 60 HP using two 1-level units?

It'll probably get cleared eventually, right...?

The price is also very reasonable at around 4,000 won, and the rules are simple enough for anyone to play.

Sometimes the stages are biased against the player to the point of being unbalanced...

But it's still fun.

And I hope they fix the

unresponsive error.People like me who watch YouTube while playing can't skip YouTube videos.

This was Mashwang, thank you.

❄️ FlakeMission｜August Day 05 #260805

Week 1 - Day 5 Started! Don't forget to check progress!

This review contains some spoilers.

Hello~!! I'm Gi-Yuna, a member of the 3rd Stove Crew~!

Today, Idebuted as a streamerand tried it out.

Right in the game!!

The game character's name is the same as mine!!

Sorry for the clickbait.

For those who prefer videos, watch the video!!

Let's go through the text review with me too!!

Synopsis

Comprehensive game streaming channel

《YunaYuna's All-Night Channel》!

Starting the broadcast in a slightly special place today!! 

Explore the "Sincheoreom Mental Hospital",

one of the 5 most haunted places in South Korea!

That's how it's introduced!

If I may add a little more explanation!

It's a horror, visual novel, and puzzle game that combines RPG Maker and visual novel elements!

You can think of it as a game where you solve puzzles along with the story progression!

Shall we move on to the gameplay??

Yu-ha~!

The game starts with Yuna's streaming!

It's so pretty that you wouldn't imagine it's a horror game...

This broadcast is apparently a penalty.

An abandoned house exploration I had to do because I lost the game!

Let's go on this first and last abandoned house exploration together!

 This game always gives you goals!

You can check them again by pressing the ESC key!

The movement keys and interactions are set up like this!

(Since I'm an FPS user, I unconsciously press WASD...)

The door to enter the hospital is blocked,

so I'll find the key and go in!!

While playing,if you see something sparkling or with an arrow,you just need to

go and interact with it!!

The place Yuna entered is a mental hospital!

Sincheoreom Mental Hospital

One of the places called the 5 most haunted spots in South Korea!

She looked it up on the wiki lol

And then she says she has to remove some kind of talisman!

(I have to head to the memorial hall)

Since I need to know where the talisman is to remove it,

I'll interact with the map!

They say you can use the guide map if you use the camcorder!

If you press the ESC key, there are items!

From there, if you click on the camcorder,you can see the

guide map!

Sometimes these Zero-Ades appear!

It's best to stock up on as many as possible!

It's an item that is used automatically when your stamina is low,

so you can use it comfortably!!

(It's useful later during boss fights)

That's how I found the memorial hall and entered!

Yuna, tricked by the viewers, places the incense stick upside down

(I screamed in my head 100 times that you shouldn't do that)

I came out of the memorial hall and removed the talisman

(I was originally just going to take a picture and leave, but the viewers told me to remove it, so I did!!!)

And now I'm heading to the men's restroom on the 2nd floor

The viewers told me to leave the cam and go aloneㅜㅜ

Novice streamer Yuna

Yeah... she leaves without thinking about the cam angle lololol

So she left the cam,

and a strange man...?

Starts saying strange things!!

The rest of the story

you can find out in the game!

First of all, I wanted to see the ending of this game so much

that I cleared it in 2 days.

I haven't played many RPG Maker games,

so I don't have much to compare it to!

But I think the difficulty was quite easy!

The occasional puzzles

take a little time, but if you're fumbling around,

it gives you hints lol

I'll leave one hint for the puzzle I fumbled with the most!

(I'll make it visible if you drag the mouse, so only those who want to see it)

Light-turning-on mission!! (Drag below to see the hint)

Look closely at the number of candles

To leave a final review!

A game that blends horror, visual novel, and puzzle elements well!

Difficulty level that even beginners can play!

For those new to visual novels, or those who felt

that existing story-only visual novels were lacking!

I recommend it!!!

And the illustrations in this game are insane hehe

You can see a total of 4 cosplay outfits

The one on the far right, anyone can tell hehe, right!

The 3rd one is a costume Yuna reformed and wore herself (whisper whisper)

Oh, and I saw that the sequel is scheduled to be released in August!!!

Please show a lot of interest!!

Once it's released, I'll play it and come back to write another review hehe

!

Click the image above to go to the store~!!

Thank you for reading my review to the end today~!!

Then I'll be off to work to play the game now!!

In the blue moonlight!

Hello, this is Eunjin Crew~!

Today Stepper Case: The sequel to the superpower mystery adventure,

Stepper Retro: Superpower Mystery Quest is the review.

Today I played for 25 hoursand was blown away by this mystery game,

I will be reviewing 'Stepper Retro'.

First off, the rating is  🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

So I recommend you go out and buy it after reading my review!!!!

It took me 20 hours to beat this, and I wish I could experience it for the first time again.

Now, let's get into the review.

Do you think your life could change because of a single book?

I didn't think so either........

(If I had known, Verita probably wouldn't have set off)

Because...

A customer who came to the retro shop,
the book that customer asked to find,

and the simple request to find the owner of that book became the start of every incident...

You assemble the evidence left by the buyer to

find where the buyer is.

But as you solve the problems, you look back on various incidents...

Blood???????????????????????

The book that became the starting point for Verita to regain her memories.. The last phrase in that book is 

.

.

.

We had mastered that miracle.

I finally returned home, but.................

My father has disappeared.

All that's left is debt.

A whopping 10 million Lumens.

(In Korean Won, that's roughly 100 million won.)

My ordinary daily life suddenly turned into a life of debt.

To pay off this debt, the protagonist Veritastarts selling staffs with Bering.

But Vero keeps stopping her here.

"That statue... is dangerous."

At first, I thought,

'Hey, isn't it just a statue?'

but...

I find out later why Vero was so against it.

I'm running out of drawing ideas

• Food Story

In April, with a warm breeze blowing, the protagonist gathers the courage to confess to 'Saebom', whom he has had feelings for.

What returned was only the ending of being rejected...

A month later, 'Saebom'After working relentlessly to forget her, only the 'work-loving young man' remained.

One late evening, as the protagonist was closing the shop, his father, the owner, approached him with a serious face, saying he had something to talk about.

A blind date, that is.

While the adults were talking, the protagonist's story came up, and the other party, having heard it, wanted to meet him.

Thinking he should save his father's face, and secretly curious about who the other party might be, the protagonist eventually accepts the proposal.

A few days later, on the day of the appointment,

The other party showed off their unique flex by renting out the entire second floor, fitting for a wealthy family.

The protagonist enters the inner room.

???

However, the person who greeted him there was none other than ''Saebom' who had rejected him a month ago....

She was clearly someone who said she was too busy with real life to have time for dating...

In just one month, what kind of change of heart could she have had..?

• Side Dish Introduction

'LeeSaebom'

Although she is the one who rejected the protagonist's confession, for some reason, she is the character who initiates the fake relationship. Like the protagonist, she has no dating experience, showing an endlessly inexperienced and awkward side to dating.

'Yuyeong'

A close junior who has liked the protagonist since high school. She has been making subtle advances to the protagonist, but when the protagonist, who didn't notice this, starts dating Saebom, she becomes suspicious of their relationship and shows a bold side by applying as a part-timer at the cafe where the protagonist works.

'LeeGaeul'

'Saebom's older sister and a VVIP at Korea University.

She is also the person who provided the opportunity for the protagonist and ''Saebom' to start a contract relationship.

Breaking the cliché of wealthy families/parents opposing relationships, she actually shows support for her sister's relationship.

(Doa doesn't have a separate SD, so here's this... haha)

'Kim Doa'

She is in a different department from the protagonist, but they became close through 'Yuyeong'. She is basically kind-hearted and takes good care of the protagonist.
('Saebom' route only) She shows the side of a true friend who intervenes between the protagonist couple to give relationship advice or tries to improve their relationship.

• Disappointing Points

-Disappointing H-scene quantity and censorship

The Secret Plus version is a must, not an option!

I, of course, tasted it with Secret Plus.

Compared to recent visual novels, there is only one H-scene per heroine, which was quite disappointing.

There are already few H-scenes, but Yuyeong route even has fog, so it was maddening with the slight censorship.

'Saebom' got it done properly, so it's a shame why they discriminate only against 'Yuyeong'.

-Stop saying the same thing!!!

(There are two ways to annoy people. The first is to stop talking halfway, and the second is...)

Throughout the game, the protagonist repeatedly draws a line, saying "We are just fake lovers after all" .

This direction is a cliché unique to the <Contract X Love> menu. 

Even while speaking coldly, the way he secretly takes care of 'Saebom' provides a subtle flutter and anticipation between the two.

However, including these lines, the same pattern of monologues and sentences tends to be repeated too frequently ,which becomes a factor that makes you feela bit frustrated.

-Backjump (None)

When enjoying a visual novel, situations often arise where you accidentally skip text too quickly and miss a desired scene, or need to return directly to a choice branch.

Unfortunately, this work does not have a 'backlog' function, so if you miss a scene, there is the inconvenience of having to repeat saving and loading to check it one by one.

There are other convenience features that I will explain later, but as someone who frequently uses the function to return to the previous point, it felt somewhat disappointing. 

• Good Points

-Tasty CG Direction

Usually, when you think of visual novel direction, you think of BGM that sets the mood, scenario writing that adds immersion, and CGs with Live2D or animation effects applied.

This work also had those directions well-equipped, but there was one more novel and impressive direction hidden beyond expectations.

Personally, the one I remember most and wanted to give a high score to was the haunted house booth scene that appeared during the 'School Festival' event.

As shown in the screenshot above, it's a scene where you are dragged by 'Yuyeong' and look around the booth she participated in together.

It has a direction that feels like playing a classic game, so I remember being surprised, thinking "This kind of direction in a visual novel..?" 

Other directions were relatively familiar, but it excellently brought out the unique 'known taste' and was sufficiently satisfying.

-Convenience for Multiple Playthroughs

This menu also provides useful convenience features for those who enjoy multiple playthroughs.

It's the 'Chapters' feature!

It is very convenient as you can easily browse chapters you have already played, return to a specific chapter to make new choices, or re-watch scenes.

-Heroines with Different Immersion

It's a familiar taste where they wander because they don't know their own hearts at first, but realize their feelings for each other in the second half, but

the unique setting of a 'contract' seems to have been mixed in well like a seasoning.

Especially the 'Saebom' route has a part that unfolds from 'Saebom's perspective in the second half. Since the perspective doesn't just stay with the protagonist but can also view the relationship between the two from the heroine's point of view, I was able to feel deep immersion.

Conversely, in the 'Yuyeong' route, since she was a heroine who had a crush on the protagonist even before the story started, she shows the charm of constantly going straight for the protagonist even to the point of overworking her own body. It was my first time meeting a heroine with such charm, so I was able to feel a different kind of fun.

Total: ★★★★☆ (4)

The repeated monologues and the fewer H-scenes compared to the title 'Secret Plus' are disappointing points.

However, along with outstanding illustrations, the natural flow of emotions, dialogue tempo, and the highly plausible story between the protagonist and the heroine combine with excellent direction to provide outstanding immersion.
The composition consisting only of normal and happy endings without bad endings is also impressive. Even the normal ending shows a conclusion that is practically close to a happy ending, and personally, this form of ending composition also felt quite positive.

I look forward to the upcoming 'Gaeul' and 'Doa' routes also showing a level of perfection beyond the main story.

Additionally, I didn't know, but it seems they did a CG update before I played it.

While playing, I thought it was generous because the standing CG illustrations changed in various ways depending on the location, and I wonder if it was thanks to this update.

Patches like this are always welcome~
