Fall in love with five unique characters, each with their own charm!

An aloof loner that borders on unsociable, but an excellent bodyguard in the field. Despite being a childhood friend of yours, he doesn't seem comfortable with you around.

The young but capable head of the rival company, 'Haeryang Securities'. Both gentle and ruthless at will, he is a foe to be reckoned with.
"What? Triple overtime pay? Be there in a second!" A playful and suave bodyguard with soft but powerful leadership. You've come to accept his free spirit, but with that he'd at least wear a tie to work.
"Now is the time to exercise your right to remain silent."A capable crime investigator, set out to create a world without injustice. He used to give you private lessons, but that was a long time ago.
"Really? You don't deduct hot water from my paycheck?"A gullible bodyguard working for a shady security agency, getting ripped off on a daily basis. Maybe you should help him out?
To prevent story spoilers, we'd like to ask you to limit streams to content up to Affection LV 1 ~ 2 for each character!

玩了两个晚上,个人感觉下来是很喜欢的,也感觉好玩。就像评论区的大家所说,更新太慢啦!一看是23年的游戏,现在都是25年了!我甚至这两天玩的时候都感觉剧情方面没有什么进展只能眼巴巴等更新。有个地方不知道算bug不,晚上十一点在家里有个剧情气泡,如果点开气泡会把画面卡住没法动,只能点标题重新进。然后男主们的塑造,我一开始看预告pv的时候很喜欢那个黑皮肤的,玩了游戏被开局很温暖的一位吸引了,结果他居然没有什么更新好感度的进展!!这个太失望了!怎么可以更新这么慢!!(哭哭.jpg)不过后来我逐渐被Seha给吸引到了,不得不说我很喜欢他,一开始能感觉得到他想洗清一下舆论的影响结果没想到自己沉沦进这暧昧的过程,说到这里,调酒师的恋爱签的内容也让我很担心以后和Seha剧情的发展,不要发好多刀子呀!!目前来说Taemin和Seha的剧情还是很ok的,希望能多增加一下其他男主们的剧情,强化一下他们的人物塑造,尤其是诺如(这里我忘了他英文名字是什么)的塑造,感觉他这边剧情还是有点扁平,请加油更新下去吧!!还有就是我(女主角)设置了生日一类的,怎么没有NPC送礼物!!(哭.jpg)啊对了,如果可以希望能在标题界面更新一下男主们的图片呀人设信息一类的上去,还有一些触发的剧情回放。因为我想更直观地了解他们。
Really promising game — great concept and fun mechanics I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. Compared to other games targeting a similar audience, this one stands out in a good way. 👍 What I liked: The skill system is actually fun to engage with. There’s a business development mechanic! And it matters — your choices have an impact beyond just chasing romance routes. The art is really pleasant to look at. The characters all have unique personalities and require completely different approaches — it adds variety and depth. 🔧 What could be improved: Would love to see skill progression through mini-games (even something simple). A fishing mini-game would be especially nice — right now it’s just RNG, and not very satisfying. Early in the game there were lots of events, but later on it got harder to find them. Not sure if I missed some, or if they just dry up. Overall, I really hope the devs keep working on this and bring it to a full release. The concept has a ton of potential and it's already fun in its current state.

(Spoiler alert) This game has so much potential its insane, The voice actors are in my opinion perfect and the leveling at first is a bit difficult to understand but once gotten the hang of you know what to do; I enjoy many of the mechanics around interactions with so many characters and they all have a unique personality goal and romance route. From a childhood friend whos father died at your fathers hands, to a rival CEO with a complete yandere obsession with you no matter what you do; all the boys are their own mystery to unlock. Now there is alot of polishing and adding that needs to be done, the avatars arent cut well and have white film around it which you see alot due to alot of areas having a dark hue- not only that but some avatars have different thickness of outline with different emotes. (but they are infact BEAUTIFUL its amazing art and the pixel art and animation is to die for) Not only that but the the points system will keep you in poverty if you want to get to level C or B before the first month is over, you can earn money two ways by chance when working at your desk and fishing- now I like the aspect of fishing however the amount of skill points charged when fishing will only allow you so much fishing- not to mention there is only a chance for your hook to land something sometimes it will be just junk or you thought you saw something. Something thats small but adds alot is taking away the hot bars for the map questions and skill points during the longer dialoge, if skill points are needed during the situation such as a date scenario where things can try to ruin your date; having the skills pop up to show what you have in that moment is perfectly fine. Now about scenarios, it would be great for that talk bubble to show up on the map when a scenario is active- many of the scenarios are time sensitive and running around all day just looking for one scenario is very very annoying. All in all, this game needs to be polished a bit, and we all want the updates for the characters and their dates- I expect this game to become very popular, since we girls have so few dating sims that are worth the price on steam; there will no doubt be a large flawk of girls who want to meet one of the many different boys. If you ever want to get some eyes on it, Id suggest having a 3d animator make a small music video showing off their job locations, personality and saucy side ;) Anyway Ill get back to gifting Noru despite me being at the effection limit waiting despratly for his update.
게임을 하려고 펀딩했다가 몇년째 라이브러리에 썩히고 있는 게임이 됨 이쯤되면 내 손녀가 게임 플레이 하게 생겼음 그떄는 정식출시되겠지? 모바일판에다가 성우 머 어쩌고도 받기로 했는데, 그건 뭐 내 관짝에다가 넣어주려고 하나.
原来到4个小时之后好感度就临时上限了,怪不得那么多评论都卡在4小时左右。画风我很喜欢,就是地图可互动的东西太少了。还有今年新加的地图功能很方便,但是地图的一些图标位置都错了,可见制作一点都不用心。
中評 游戲地圖顯示的人物和實際不符 找人都花了半天 過了新手任務后就沒提示去哪裏做主綫了 所有劇情要靠自己走路去找 很麻煩 想快點走劇情也不知道怎麽走 文案用的是中文 有時候會跳轉成韓文或者英文很奇怪 劇情是不錯的挺吸引我 文案劇情立繪配音都是不錯的 我覺得對得起這個價只希望快點優化
Played this game for 6 hours straight and loved every second of it! Im used to otome games and just clicking and reading for hours but this games system made it so incredibly addictive I couldnt stop. The tasks and how you build affection kept me glued to my pc. I love the Korean voice actors as well as the art. I absolutely recommend for anyone who enjoys otome or visual novel games!
bug太多了,比如在电影院约会时选择看电影时间,因为时间不够无法选择却还扣了钱,剧情卡死数次,保存点也有限。
50주에서 엔딩 보고 께달았습ㄴ니다. 이건 데모버전이나 다름 없었다는 사실을 말이죠. 정식버전 나올때동안 탈탈 털어볼게요.
觀望這款遊戲猶豫要不要入手的,真的不要鐵齒快跑,誰買誰後悔。
