예. 재미있는 게임입니다. 가격에 비해 품질이 높다고 생각합니다. 5천원 정도.. 빠르게 파밍이 끝난다면 즐겁게 주사위를 던질 수 있습니다. 만약 당신이 끝내주게 운이 없다면 주사위 3개를 들고도 주사위 1개 든 공안에게 잡힐 수도 있겠지요 재미있는 게임에는 운적인 요소가 어느정도 있어야 합니다 그리고 이 게임은 운이 필요하네요.
가끔 심심할 때 할만한것 같다.
A thoughtful experience, even if a bit rough. The gameplay itself is not complicated - you need to work to earn money, buy food, and collect information about the way to get from China (where you currently are, illegally) to South Korea. There are public security officers roaming the map, trying to catch you, and when you share a space, you must undergo a skill check to avoid them. The main mechanic is dice rolls - you can roll more dice if your stats are higher, and certain items or actions can increase them. It's quite straight forward, and easy to learn. When you fail or succeed, attractive paintings show up - I wish there were more of them, and incorporated in the game itself. The normal GUI is fine - you can see the screenshots. I recommend this game, but you'll enjoy it the most if you really try to identify with the character, instead of focusing on the (basic) gameplay. For the price, it's a worthwhile experience, in my view.

7~8시간 플레이 해보고 장단점 남깁니다. 재밌게 잘했습니다. 3천원의 값어치는 충분히 하고도 남네요 장점 1. 탈북이라는 사회적으로 민감한 소재를 다룬 나름 신선한 게임 2. 캐릭터 3개뿐이 해보질 못하긴 했는데 캐릭터마다 특징이 있어서 단순 주사위 놀음뿐이 없지만 나름 고민할만한 요소가 있음 단점: 1. 주사위 놀음에 실패해서 나락으로 떨어지면 게임오버에 거의 직결될 정도로 운요소가 비중이 너무큼.. 플레이가 개입할 수 있느 다른 변수가 있었으면 함 2. 지역을 넓게 쓸 이유가 없음... 많이 돌아 다닐수록 돈을 못벌어 생존율이 떨어지기 때문에 주변마 왔다갔다하다 브로커정보 5개 모으는 편법 쓰게됨... 지역을 활용할 만한게 있었으면 함 3. 세이브파일이 암호화가 안되있어서 조작이 쉬움.. 컨셉이 하드한 생존을 하며 정보를 얻고 탈출하는건데 세이브 파일 조작이 매우 쉬워서 재미 반감요소가 있음

Lovely little game with a strong theme. The randomness is actually a very nice touch. You can mostly get around it with the right tactics, and it's only really unfair in the way that life as a refugee often is. In fact, it's amazing how they've managed to abstract the mechanics in a way where it's easy to play yet you still really feel the desperation. Where you can get excited just because an old lady gave you a dumpling! Only downsides are a fair few grammatical errors and typos with the translation. But apart from that, absolutely worth your time, especially for the price.
재밌고 유익합니다.
씨이발 회복 안되는것도 억울한데 체력을 두개씩 깎아먹네
어느정도 운빨리적용되지만 막상 해보면 공안도 별거없습.
정말 정말 재밌습니다. 시간가는줄 모르고 7시간 가까이 계~속 했어요. 김영성씨 탈출 시켜서 뿌듯합니다. 갓겜을 만들어주셔서 매우 매우 정말 감사합니다.
