EPISODE 2 (Beta) - v0.10.06
Game development is a long process, but we've reached a key milestone that should please the most impatient players.
New Features:
The final part of the game is fully integrated: no more storyboard placeholders. All the artwork is there—some fully finished, others still in sketch form. (Thanks to the gallery, you’ll be able to revisit your unlocked scenes once they are fully colored.)
Choice trees and dialogues are complete: 3 endings are now available—one major and two minor ones, with subtle variations depending on your decisions.
7 new Steam achievements to show your friends how you completed the story.
2 new sex scenes added, along with some erotic moments sprinkled throughout the adventure.
Not done yet:
The "bastard" ending is not available yet. The choice leading to it is visible but not clickable.
More stories in the first episode environments.
v0.10.05
WHAT'S NEW
Animation of the porn scene in the karaoke.
Game Over animation (with the nurse).
For the curious, it's possible to unlock the version with rough ugly sketches of Episode 2. This WIP mode is unlocked by clicking on a window in the "Apartments" scene... It's hidden because only the extremists reading the patch notes might appreciate it
BUG FIXES
Fixed the bug that prevented some players from triggering the first animations.
v0.10.04
Patch Notes
The arcade with the paladin elf offers a better reward with two new animations (already unlocked in the achievements menu if you previously reached the reward).
The paladin is now easier to defeat: she loses in case of a tie with the player.
Dialogues have been improved, especially the final one with Mr. Lee.
An animation is shown when you lose a health point.
Navigation Comfort
You can now skip dialogues using the spacebar.
A short delay has been added to prevent accidentally skipping important animations.
Stuttering animation loops on certain PC configurations have been fixed.
Known Bug
Some players experience issues with animation playback. This is a rare bug, and we need feedback: please send your OS, graphics card, or the AppData/LocalLow/Balsagames/Horror in Hongdae/player.log file if you’re unsure of your setup.
v03.2023
I remind you that in the office, if you click on the tower in the landscape (Namsan Tower), there are shortcuts to specific scenes.
WHAT'S NEW
You have already seen in these videos the new visuals, but there are new technical features, starting with the music and sound that triggers when necessary.
1) Supported languages. On the main menu, for now you have French and English. It was a lot of work! I saw some untranslated stuff I'll change later.
2) Improvement of features, such as greater ease of making clickable places on an image AND the possibility of setting a time limit to answer. It was already possible to do this in dialogues, now it works also with images. It's the scene called "escape game" in the shortcut menu.
3) Additional scenes. Dialogues and sex scene with the teacher. Show her the scrolls if you find them.
4) Crime scene search with a functional phone.
5) The map is less sad, with more details.
I know some of you would like a walkthrough. I will try to not forget to do one. Next month, I'm 100% on this game so I can work on the clues.
I have to mention that for now, I'm using the music from the movie The Ninth Gate composed by Wojciech Kilar (Who also did Coppola's Dracula). Great musics.
v12.2022
Shortcut
to see specific scenes. In the office, click on the tower in the background, like in
Behind The Dune
.
Sex scene
with the vice-president reachable (at the end of the game).
-The engine can show movies instead of barely moving pictures. I have
less limits
now. The pixelated zoom of the beginning is now perfect (not pixelised), the sperm flows well in the scene of the Vice President, and some details start to move.
-The skeleton of the story works. It has
5 ends
. For the moment, the player is not used to having to be good in point and click, so I think the last meal will be fatal for most of the testers.
-I chronologically improve scenes after scenes to go to the end. Now the
thug has a phone
. You can use it after his death.
v06.2022
N/A
v04.2022
WHAT'S NEW
-M.Lee animated. He appears at the end. Good face animations, FraMe!
-More accurate backgrounds.
New scenes (sketched mostly):
-Fight with the thug (february storyboard).
-Chad chased through the streets (february storyboard).
-Point and click in the gloomy house improved.
-Point and click in the Lamborghini improved.
-Point and click in the diner with the vice-president colored. That part can seem long since it's not animated yet.
-Weird car discussion.
Dialogues:
-You can translate the scrolls.
-You can know what happened to Hyung (the art student).
-Many little dialogues.
Gameplay:
-To talk about something, show the right item.
-The map has an airport pin. Once you have the scrolls, you can leave (but will you really want to when the game has more content?).
No animated sex scene. I did not like the cumshot of the handjob anymore. I will work on sex from now... It's time '
. I'm interested in the sex on the crime scene.
v1.0
WHAT’S IN IT?
-The main
characters
. Not animated yet but you can have a talk.
-The animated sketched
introduction
and the
first full dialogue
with Miss Bak, so you have an idea of the story.
-The places and the
map mechanics
(the visuals are ugly sketches). All the places are unlocked, for the moment, so you could feel lost. It will be more progressive later.
-The upper right
menu
works (quit button + auto-save system).
NEXT MONTH
II will animate at least Miss Bak and/or the teacher. Do a sex scene. Color some sketches. With the remaining time, put the first chapter (out of three) in the game.
We can see now where I want to go with this game. I will talk about money with
Unity
developers now. That will also be interesting for my future games on
Steam
.
I was expecting a lot more adult and depraved material, coming from "Behind the Dune" and "Vega Hunters", this feels a little more vanilla. I guess maybe the author is trying to head more into actual games with story and depth, but I'm not sure where this is going, I did play just part 1 or chapter 1, so i can't really form a complete review just yet, since some parts of the rest of the story are still in sketch form. So I decided to wait until it's in a complete form.
This author truly deserves to be in the spotlight. You should also check out his other games — they are masterpieces. This game is still in development, but it shows great promise. You can buy it on Steam at a very affordable price
Horror in Hongdae [Ep.2 Beta v0.10.06] [David Balsamique] "Balsamique's Buff Jake Gyllenhaal in pornified detective movie with a supernatural twist" Horror in Hongdae is a beautifully stylized point and click mystery game, I wont call it a porn game , but an adult kinetic novel as sex is not the emphasis of the game, but the short story where the player is dropping into Korean detective movielike gameplay filled with mysteries, suspicion, cult and a sprinkle of sex and interdimentinal monsters. Gameplay and Mechanics Kinetic novel where you just click everything that looks out of place or in place, finding clues and unlocking new locations and scenes and praying for a hidden route. There are 2 minigames that are scene related, short simple and fun. Other than that it's just simple dialogue selection, choices don't really matter. Sometimes clues are hard to find, especially when you don't know what you are looking for. Story You are a wannabe Jake Gyllenhaal doing detective cosplay in Korea, and a simple investigation escalates to you being tangled up in a mess of body swaps, cults, and shady characters. Writing isn't deep and pretty straightforward, but you will have to pay attention on the bold parts of the dialogue to understand the structure of the investigation. Characters Great characters, each is uniques and sticks to the role and gracefully adds to the story, although I was hoping for more characters apart from those who are critical to the story, need standalone encounters. The character designs are top-tier goon bait-big boobs, thick thighs, and just enough personality to make you want to ravage them all. The Milf Boss is begging for a domination route and Hyung's mother needs more scenes (SEX PLEASE) Graphics and Sound Balsamique’s art is always in the spotlight of his games, simple yet incredibly detailed, and the signature boob jiggles. The last part in beta are just placeholder unfinished sketches, but that's ok, given it's a beta release. minimal but effective sound design, fits perfectly with the scenes and environment, adds to the vibe of the game. Replay Value One walkthrough is enough to see most of the stuff, but I hope the content grows with updates. Personal Opinion Currently more of a teaser than a satisfying gameplay experience, but is very promising and potentially a great polished game. Personally was hoping for more sex scenes and kinks, looking at dev's track record. There is a scope for incest, domination, rape, piss, and all the deprved cult shit. Pros: Amazing Art that makes you goon on each still of the game. Characters are hot as hell Unique Korean setting Cons: NO SEX, just a petty handjob story is too simple for a mystery game it needs more twists, more depravity NO "Horror" in Hongdae Potential Additions: Incest, piss, vomit, cult orgies-go full Balsamique, no holding back actual horror? Standalone encounters and depraved side stories Expanded storylines and more characters More interactive puzzles
(Spoiler Warning) v02.2024 Story - Horror in Hongdae has a set story in place to tell of an interesting mystery. Spoiler: Major Plot Hoping it will expand more after the body swap portion. (4.5/5) Originality - MC is sent on a mission in a foreign country to retrieve goods for his boss. Renders - 2D. Extremely good artwork all around. Due to the game not being finished. Some of the renders aren't finished. (No Gallary - .5) (3.5/5) Sound - IGM that flows nicely with the stage of the game. (5/5) Playability - Mostly straightforward. Come scenes require you to click and find new information and items. The green heart top right of the screen still puzzles me as to its purpose. (4/5) Performance - Runs smoothly. No Issues. (5/5) Bugs - Language setting resets to default upon reset. Some parts of the game aren't properly translated. (3.5/5) Animations - Great as always. (5/5) Voice Acting - None. (5/5) Grammar - Some parts of the game aren't properly translated. (4/5) Amount of content - The game isn't finished as of yet. I'm not sure where this game currently stands but, if the current roots are finished, and the developer leaves it at that, then I would say this is a perfect small game. Small games like these, leave chances for sequels to be made. (4/5)
v08.2023 I liked the tags and the models - I was expecting lots of fun. Yet...despite of the nice artwork there is no porn action. This game is a grind fest without enough content to justify playing it. The tags are misleading - there isn't any anal. Maybe future version will prove me wrong - yet I am commenting on the current state of the game. Very disappointing!
Hot art style! Great professional work. I love the Korean setting and the story around it. Please continue and give us more of this shit. Nice UI design by the way and fluent change of scenes. kisses
Its another Balsamique game. So you get a fun little story and some great art and animation to go with it. I think its a single guy so the work is slow and the game is new so content is still building and you need to give it time but if its anything like behind the dune then I have full confidence. So far the story, or at least whats available, is interesting and makes me look forward to more.
David Balsamique doesn't miss. Signature art. That said, not a lot of content to start, but i'm sure it will get there with time. Shocked he started something new with Vega Hunters still unfinished though.
