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.

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.

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.

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!

50주에서 엔딩 보고 께달았습ㄴ니다. 이건 데모버전이나 다름 없었다는 사실을 말이죠. 정식버전 나올때동안 탈탈 털어볼게요.
앞서 해 보기인 줄 모르고 일단 삿다가 업데이트 될 게 왤케 만어... 햇긴 합니다 한국어 더빙을 잘 듣지 못하는 저임에도 불구하고 성우들이 정말 괜찮았고 언젠가는... 네 정말 언젠가는 정발이 되면 게임이 정말 괜찮을 것 같다고 생각함 캐릭터들 디자인도 너무 잘 뽑혀서 진짜 입에서 침 흐르고 빨리 정발 되길 기다리고 잇음... 일러스트도 진짜 잘 뽑혓다고 생각함 추가로 단발을 안 좋아해서 여주 캐릭터 커마 할 수 잇으면 얼마나 좋을까... 햇네요 근데 세하한테 괜찮은 선물 줘서 피로도 20 깎일 때 오류 잇어욤
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。

The game has potential but it's incomplete and abandoned bc there have been no updates or news in almost a year
I am struggling to either like or dislike this game. It has potential to be one of my all time favorites, it's as mixture of [blank] simulator and dating sim. I especially like it bc it has that job simulator prospect; I don't just have to be a blank canvas since I am managing my own firm. It's just that basically none of the actual jobs are completed and there's no end to the aquarium contract. Another complaint is how I dont have a calendar of when certain special events trigger. After several weeks of no action just me trying to get 'ideas', I finally gave up on job hunting and focused instead of the men. Tell me why now all of the sudden I'm getting events and am accidentally standing up these men. I'm getting annoyed since I still have not gone on a date. I'm failing both my job and romance life. smh Overall would recommend. Just frustrated...

The stories and characters revealed are written well. The visuals from illustrations, backgrounds and pixel work are beautiful and lovely~ The voice acting is so nice! Glad I had the chance to play this in Early Access !! Highly recommend! Everything I experienced in Early Access and the updates in this phase makes me so excited for the full version this year <3
무척 제 스타일이라 맘에 듭니다 기대하고 있습니다 빨리 완성되기를!
快出正式版............我已经迫不及待了.....................................
[i]“I’m sorry, was I holding your hands for too long?”[/i] Being walked home by my date, that one really got me. I was puzzled by that cuteness. Just the day before, I had a fantastic moment with Seha, analysing security vulnerabilities together in the hotel lobby. It was a cute and natural flow of conversation and flirting, making you almost addicted to grinding ideas together as you watch him charmingly sip his coffee. As you will already know, the pixel-art atmosphere is absolutely awesome. So, with two nice men to date, I seem to have a problem now… Alongside the ongoing implementation of collective moments, the game is becoming more and more enjoyable. Since there are still unimplemented parts, e.g. in the dating loop and relating to daily activities, and only the early character stories have been implemented and released to the players so far, I recommend adding this cosy game to your Wishlist and keeping an eye on its development to see when the right time is for you to join in. The full release is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026. I myself am following the development with great anticipation and look forward to every new feature along the way.
