The Seoul Within is a WLW/sapphic video game that takes place in Seoul, South Korea. The story follows a woman upon her getting a promotion that will take her half way across the world. She's pessimistic at first but as she adjust to her new schedule and life, she begins to enjoy her time in the new country. To her surprise, she begins to interact with five women, falling for each one for their own quirks and traits. Who will see choose? 

This is an idea I've had for a while now especially since I felt there was a lack of WLW games with the exception of visual novels. Due to having experience in Unreal Engine since first interacting with the program a few years ago, I thought it was now time to get started on this project. This is in the early stages, so early I don't even have the names of the main character whom players will be playing as and although I started and completed the game design, I will begin the script in the next few weeks after I create an outline. 

Of course, I created this log because I want to get the community involved especially those who are interested and/or love WLW games, and who may even be WLW themselves and would like to add in some input. As of now, its just me, but I would like to add in four or five more people to assist with researching Korean culture, life, and language, someone to map design, someone to interior design, someone to music produce/sound design as well.

As of now, the game will feature:

Game features

• Enjoy a mission-driven gameplay with no daily routines
• Explore a semi-open world inspired by famous district like Hongdae, Gangnam, Itaewon or Bukchon Hanok Village
• Discovers 5 love interests with their own personalities and gameplay styles
• Earn XP and learn new skills as you progress
• Follow your path to the unique 5 endings

I began working in Unreal Engine 5.7 to draft up the first gameplay. The gameplay beta will show different mechanics of the game. The first gameplay beta will be about simulation. The player will be able to interact with their environments such as decorate their apartment, drive a car, buy food from vending machines, etc. 

Thanks! I had help from the Itch Reddit community. Also, I think you may be right about the assets. I was thinking of selling items and stuff at first but now I'm thinking, I should just keep it as a game.

The description was written by me; however, I am open to feedback. Since it was written by me, what would make it sound less like a robot or less like chatgpt? I also feel like anything someone doesn't like, they automatically just say "this is chatgpt" to discredit the artist or creators. Again though, I am open to feed back on how to make it not sound like chatgpt/AI. I really want this project to be successful and completely believe in it. 

The reason why its an asset is because I'll be uploading concept art, art, music, once I create a small team of artist. I'll be creating another project that is Game for when the demo drops. That won't be for a good while though. 

The thumbnail aspect ratio. Again, I apologize for that. I am not an artist but a dev; hence, the reason why I'm hoping to put together a small team. The post needed an image though per the post rules.

Ayo! 

The Seoul Within is an adventure, rpg, dating game about a woman who moves to Seoul, South Korea for a job opportunity. Pessimistic at first, she soon finds herself falling in love with her new life. And it just so happens that love will find a way to her in a form of five beautiful women. 

The Seoul Within is in development, and I even look to collaborate and crowd source for the project so as to make this game as good as it can be. The full game will be on Steam; however, the demo will be on Itch and Steam. 

The game design is available to read on the Itch page: The Seoul Within. 

If like what you're seeing and reading so far then feel free to follow the project.

The game is also on TikTok and Youtube per the profile page. If you do happen to read the Game Design on the game's page then feel free to leave a comment on what can be potentially added in the form of suggestions. This is not my first game but this will be my first big game and I want it to be AMAZING! I'll soon be making a post for those interested in working with me on this project!
