Top Ranker Mode ON 👑
But you mustn't let your guard down!
[Protest] – Violation of ‘Road Nine’ operating philosophy and demand for official response
Recipient: Smilegate, NX3 GAMES
Title: Request for explanation of violation of 'Road Nine' operating philosophy and call for future response
I am a user who enjoys your MMORPG **'Lord Nine'**.
The '5 operating philosophies' revealed at the 2025 announcement were a promise based on trust with users. However, the recent updates and your company's response directly violate that promise, and are causing serious distrust and backlash throughout the user community.
[Items that are violated among the 5 operating philosophies that your company promised]
Probabilistic Item Stress Relief
→ Despite the announcement that “only one avatar exists for random draws,”
→ With the recent update, the artifact probability draw system was introduced, which added excessive probability content.
Paid experience/cash equipment not sold
→ In reality, whether or not you pay has a significant impact on your combat power and growth rate.
Preserving item value and respecting the economy between users
→ The game balance is collapsing and the trading ecosystem between users is being violated due to random paid items.
💬 Despite the fact that many users have repeatedly pointed this issue out through the official community and customer center, your company has not yet made any official statement.
[Requirements]
Clear and official statement of position on violation of operating philosophy
Provide transparent explanations and fix plans for issue updates (e.g. introduction of artifact probabilities)
Announcement of a plan to maintain practical compensation and future operating philosophy to restore user trust
[Official Warning – Call for Legal Responsibility]
If your company continues to ignore legitimate complaints and questions from users, this may be a violation of the following laws. If we determine that there is no official response, we will take the following actions:
Article 3 of the Act on Fair Labeling and Advertising
→ Prohibition of unfair advertising that misleads consumers
※ After the announcement that “there is only one random item, avatar,” the artifact random draws added may be considered deceptive advertising.
Article 21 of the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, etc.
→ Prohibition of acts that cause unfair disadvantages and failure to fulfill notification obligations
※ Silence on user complaints and failure to sufficiently notify important updates may be an abuse of business position and a violation of the duty to notify.
Article 32 of the Act on Promotion of the Game Industry
→ Obligation to protect users' rights and create a fair usage environment
※ Failure to notify about probabilistic content and paid systems may result in legal liability.
[Countermeasures]
File a formal complaint or complaint with the Korea Consumer Agency, Fair Trade Commission, or other relevant organizations.
Review legal procedures, including claims for damages, in cooperation with consumer rights groups and legal advisory agencies.
Launching a press release and protest campaign with the User Community Alliance
I don't want to attack or harm 'Lord Nine'.
However, promises must be kept, and fair and responsible operation is what all users expect.
Your silence may be interpreted as a possible violation of law rather than a choice.
I hope the operating philosophy at the time of the showcase wasn't just a marketing slogan.
We look forward to a sincere explanation and a changed response.
thank you

0benecia0 caught 66 dinosaurs!
You have some good skills!
But aren't the real experts faster?
Let's do it moderately
The charging element is still good
If you buy the full artifact package for 300,000 won,
About 4 to 10 heroes appear.
The investment goes up by about 2,000 to 3,000
There is a BJ who has raised over 110,000 without paying.
A hunting ground where you can level up without paying
There is a hunting ground where you can eat rice
How many non-paying users are paying users?
Are you trying to force it?
Game companies need to make money too
Update and pay employees' salaries
If only there were guys like you who screamed anal
Are you telling me that the game company wants me to do volunteer work for free??
No matter how good the package is,
The package isn't selling because of the reset.
The reward for resetting the 85th floor
The reward for resetting the 120th floor
The difference is too big
Even if it takes 2 weeks to delete a character
On the one hand, I'm grateful
While they were screaming their asses
I can't even draw my sword because I don't have the money for a lawyer.

Hello Lua....Ipn ㅣ ㄷ r
(tired...Lua)
My hands are shaking even as I write this...
Because... Lua's brain....
They're shouting "Ra.myeon."
Carbohydrates... Withdrawal Symptoms Real...
I'm so hungry I'm eating carbs... oh my.... Carbs!
[ 2025.04.21 Tofu Mushroom Salad]
Lunch today is difficult...
Tofu! Mushroom! Salad!
But it's not just any tofu salad,
Tofu + Mushroom + Vegetable + Paprika Collaboration Complete
Visually, almost like an idol of the salad world ...?
There's tofu stuck in it
The chewy oyster mushrooms have a deeper flavor the more you chew them...
Oriental dressing mortgage ver.
Colorful paprika stands out with its yellow and red color.
I feel healthier just by looking at it...!
Healthy food,,,,,itself (!)
To be honest, I said "It's well-being~"
The inside shouted "If I just take one chopstick of ramen, the game's over?" 🙃
But it can’t be helped…
Lua Current Status: No Carbs for Day. Week. Day...
My stomach is sending me signs now.
"Did you abandon me? Let's eat😭"
But...I held on today too...!
I'm... a professional dieter...
(But if ramen appears in your dream, it's a crime, really)
For those of you who are taking on the carbohydrate reduction challenge,
Has your brain ever said "Ramen" ?
Let's support each other mentally... 💬
Lua is on the Yolsim diet today too.....
Well then, that's it~~! 🏃♀️💨

hello!
HoGWatt Docent, who will guide you into the world of 90s noir .
This is Park Ji-won from Stove Crew 1st Generation ! 😊✨
This game!
Serial killer + cleaner? A combination of two words that are impossible to combine,
Infiltration + Cleaning(?) + Mission
That's right~!
Leisurely leaving the messy crime scene behind,
Serial Cleaners
no see!
If a murder occurs, who will clean up the mess?😎
It seems like the dark mafia even has a dedicated cleaning team...
(Maybe our house too...)
**Since this is a story-based game, this review will mainly cover the game's unique features without spoilers :)
✨ A mafia story drawn in a cartoon style
If I had to pick one feature that stands out when I first look at this game, it would be
It was definitely the graphics .
Thanks to cartoon-style 3D graphics ,
While dealing with dark material, we created an atmosphere that can be approached lightly and without burden .
The opening that appears as soon as you launch the game flows like a cinematic animation .
Cutscenes and dialogue between characters that appear before and after full-scale stage play
I could feel the unique sensibility of reinterpreting the 90s noir world in a cartoon style .
The connection between stages
The style, drawn with a cartoonish texture, is unique and immersive.
Summarize the story in two lines!
The stage where you can play the game in earnest
It is not simply a repeating structure,
Because each stage involves being deployed to a different crime scene.
I was able to experience new places and atmospheres every time.
🎮 Keyboard users might find it a little difficult
The concept was good, but... I think this needs to be addressed.
The controls were... quite uncomfortable at first.
(Why am I not left-handed!!!!)
Because the keyboard input is centered on one side.
I had to do too many things with my left hand.
I thought it was a game optimized for the pad .
Still, what...
It got better once I got used to it.
It was just a bit of a problem getting used to it!?
But even after playing for about 11 hours until the end, I still felt uncomfortable.
I wanted to tell you!
🗺️Stealth action...? Puzzle game!
I really want to praise the stage design. 👏
At first, we warm up in a small space that can be seen at a glance.
As you progress to the second half, the number of floors increases and the space becomes wider.
(You have to design the optimal route by looking at the gimmicks in the map)
It forces you to carve out your own 'route'.
So even if I failed, I didn't feel wronged!
If you do it again anyway, information will accumulate and eventually
"This is like this, that is like that!" Because the strategy is clearly visible. 🔍
(If you go all the way, I'll win)
However, since it is a single difficulty level, there were some tiring sections where failure → infinite attempts occurred.
Still, it was fun to find the route like solving a puzzle!
🧠 Unique characters without overlap
This game is played alternately between four characters.
Each character has a completely different play style.
🧔 Bob – Basic cleaner, but very skilled
As befitting the leader of a cleaning crew, Bob's abilities are evenly distributed above average .
The ability to wrap a body allows you to cleanly remove any traces from the scene,
It was impressive to see him handling the crime scene with such ease, such as gliding quickly through blood.
(A senior brother sliding on a puddle of blood🤣💦💦)
When playing Bob, it was fun to build a solid foundation and create a cleaning route.
🪚 Do – Psychopathic Janitor with Chainsaw
Hal can cut up a corpse with a chainsaw , making it easy to transport, but
There was a risk that blood would splatter everywhere, making the scene even dirtier.
(I was not used to blood so I almost fainted)
Direct combat with NPCs is not possible, but you can neutralize the police by throwing objects.
In the prison stage, you can play as a reverse police officer, which is a uniquely fun experience.
(Throwing an object to neutralize the police)
(Keep it in the trash can for a while before you wake up?)
(In the prison map, there is a brother who imprisons the police officer in reverse.
Is this even possible???)
It was also interesting to use it as a way to attract surveillance by creating noise, or to open a breakthrough.
(Brother Hal, who is good at cutting walls)
💻 ㅂr이퍼 – Hacking expert undercover agent
Vipers can move stealthily through vents ,
It has the ability to divert the enemy's attention by hacking CCTV and electronic devices.
(safe penetration through ventilation holes)
You can use hacking to change the police patrol route or to induce traps.
The fun of creating your own optimized route was outstanding.
(You can disable CCTV by hacking or make noise from a distance to attract surveillance personnel)
🧗 Lati – Artist who uses body as art
Lathi has excellent mobility,
Specializes in evading the police by utilizing gimmicks such as climbing walls and jumping over obstacles .
(Climb over the fence and sneak into the crime scene)
(About two police officers can dribble)
The thrilling action of using terrain to evade pursuit when discovered was impressive.
Thanks to the use of terrain, it was fun to conquer the stage with unconventional movements.
🚨 It's hard at first, but once you get used to it, it's your world
This game isn't just about clearing away corpses and escaping with evidence.
(Not only the body and blood stains must be removed, but also the evidence must be collected completely)
Each stage is a crime scene that the police are investigating.
Sneak inside, manage the noise ,
Because you have to move without leaving any traces of corpses or items.
There was a lot more to worry about than I thought.
(When using a vacuum cleaner, the noise radius increases, so you must be careful about the noise when erasing blood stains.
/ Blue dotted circle indicates noise)
(The police officer chasing me with a gun saved me )
Especially in the beginning, because of the police's immediate response and difficult-to-predict patterns.
It took some time to adapt.
(You can incapacitate it by throwing an object at the back of its head)
But as we enter the second half,
I was able to naturally understand the police patrol routes, sight, and reaction speed .
As I gradually learned my own path and route, I was able to feel the fun of systematically attacking them.
It's not that the NPCs are stupid, but rather that the structure becomes easier as I gain information advantage through repeated play .
I think this was a play structure that incorporated learning-based design well.
🎷 Retro & JAZZ sound that brings back the 90s atmosphere
The background music is in a jazzy retro style .
It really captured the 90s vibe.
The music is different for each character, with a theme song feel.
I also liked how the overall play atmosphere changed depending on the character.
Additionally, sound effects are also detailed.
For example, just hearing the sound of police footsteps really raises the tension.
🔁 Once is OK, twice is...?
It wasn't a structure that encouraged multiple plays.
Since the time attack element is not mandatory, I didn't feel the need to replay a stage I had already cleared.
Rather, each time you clear a stage,
"Ah, I'm sick of it..."
I remember having to be on edge to the point where I felt like doing it. 😵💫
But this part was important.
The reason I was able to continue playing without giving up until the end was, This was because the difficulty adjustment was designed very delicately.
It's not so difficult that it's hopeless,
Thanks to the right balance of not being too easy and not losing tension,
I had fun trying the stages multiple times and improving my route on my own.
📖 Story? To be honest...
The story is set in the United States in the late 90s.
It is structured so that four cleaners each recall their experiences.
But this is happening in a jumbled timeline
It wasn't easy to get immersed.
The individual episodes of the characters were interesting,
The trend of increasing conflict between organizations was good, but
I didn't really get the overall flow.
I think there were some American jokes and metaphors too.
Since I'm not familiar with English-speaking culture, I found that expression difficult. 😢
(How do I know American dad jokes!)
nevertheless,
The story that I was able to vaguely recognize while clearing the game was quite interesting.
And the ending impact when you reach the end is quite strong,
"Ah, so that's how it all connects in the end." feeling?
(Why are you pointing guns at each other at the holiday party?
Oh, one of them is a chainsaw )

🔚 Finishing
Chain Cleaners isn't just a simple stealth action game.
By making the most of each character's traits and stage's gimmicks,
It's a puzzle game that seeks out a 'strategy without a correct answer'!
If you want to enjoy a 90s crime scene like a cartoon noir,
This game is definitely worth playing at least once. 💀🧤
