About Horror in Hongdae

Horror in Hongdae is an adult Unity game by David Balsamique, presented with animated artwork. You play a man in a story that offers multiple endings, with the title indicating a horror setting in Hongdae. Its play is point-and-click, using dialogue, scenes, and choices to move the plot forward.

The current release is Episode 2 Beta v0.10.07, dated July 15, 2025, and development is still ongoing. It runs on Windows in English and is uncensored. This build adds two newly animated figures, the little girl and the player's boss, plus an adult scene with the teacher, using three animations. It also includes new story illustrations, three finished backgrounds: a book café, rooftop, and hallway, and continued work on dialogue and endgame structure.

Changelog

EPISODE 2 (Beta) - v0.10.07 2 new animated characters (the little girl and the player's boss). Animated adult scene with the teacher (3 animations). Various new story illustrations, including: Hyung helping his teacher The girl escaping the teacher Chad parodying the Laocoön The vice president disappointed in Chad Chad’s boss surprised in her bath The teacher sacrificing herself 3 completed backgrounds (Book Café, rooftop, hallway) Work on dialogue and endgame structure. 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…
