The police would probably investigate it and realize he isn't; but a lot of people would've believed it for the time period between Bok spreading rumors and Dae-jeong being in court.
That looked like an expression of anger. First a smile at her in tatters, then anger at what she did to her. Also, revenge isnt empty in and of itself. It can be for sure, where you go so far for it only to lament once you realize how much it costs, but you can absolutely come out in the black.
I thought the main character was a dude, but I think the anger expression was because the protag was expecting for the bride to at least apologize for what she did in the past, instead the protag just gets mad of disappointed at not hearing anything from the bride
Honestly I take it as karma, the latter, with a indication of the past Da-Jeong probably displayed a brief smile for a moment as she was accusing Bok-su, the feeling of getting away with it and pinning on her former friend, ruining her life. She didn't feel anything from it. In the moment you can imagine the final scene mirroring the past The horrifyed look of desperation of something you didn't do And the person who did it to you smiling, knowing they did it before defaulting to fear to blend back in, just like Da-Jeong did before Maybe Bok-su feels guilty about it, but the fact that Da-Jeong didn't seem to feel any guilt probably makes Bok-su take it as "the feeling's mutual then" Idk, that's how I'm seein it, apologies for my ramble.
I really like the parallel between the patient's mom wailing over their son/Bok-su saying "I didn't do it, it's her fault" and Myeong-hoon's mom yelling "GEY AWAY FROM MY SON"/Da-jeong mirroring what Bok-su said before. That detail about the patient is definitely intentional, it's neat. Also, it's confirmed by the creator that Myeong-hoon never cheated and it was just a rumor that Bok-su spread, which makes his death even sadder. Poor guy just wanted to enjoy his wedding :(
just every repeated detail! Da-jeong turning to look at Bok-su, the scalpel and knife and the placement of the body (and the wound) and the dialogue !!
Reasons why you should just move on instead of getting revenge. She blamed all her problems on one person and now an innocent is dead because you couldn't move on.
@@Diamond1234 Not saying revenge is justified but most of her problems were that woman's fault. I don't agree with the revenge, but the woman's recklessness caused an innocent patient to die
they not only killed him, but ruined his reputation well. you know how people are regarding cheaters-- he's gonna be remembered as a player that flew too close to the sun even though it was a rumor
I felt bad too but i think it's kinda the point, the man killed in the operation was also innocent but died because dajeong didn't pay enough attention in med school and made a mistake that could've easily been avoided, i say his death parallels that which is a part of Boksu's perfect revenge plans.
@@violettapnyeah the point is that it all comes full circle, innocent person dies, the person who did it puts the blame on their friend, few years later, innocent person dies, person whose life was ruined for being framed frames their framer. it all comes full circle!

Korean here, ‘복수‘, ’Bok-su’, the protagonist’s name, literally means ‘revenge’. Adding her family name, ‘고’, turns it into ‘high/great revenge’ ‘다정‘, or Da-jeong, means ‘caring’, while the family name ‘최‘, means ‘ultimate’ or ‘to the highest extent of’. ‘명훈‘, or ‘Myeong-hoon’, means ‘master’s orders’, and adding ‘단’ (which usually means ‘all’) turns it into ‘short-lived order’. Just found that interesting. If anyone has alternate translations I’m happy to discuss! I definitely see the resemblance to ‘친절한 금자씨’ (Lady Vengeance), especially with the name ‘복수‘ being used as well as the narrative of being blamed by the perpetrator and taking revenge on them.

@@chainchomp3500 well, dajeong did kill a patient which was also an innocent person. only difference is, dajeong didn’t intend to kill the patient, whilst boksu intended to kill myeonghoon
@@woheyeni She did still blame it on her and refuses to even apologize in private, she genuinely believes she did nothing wrong. He definitely didn’t deserve death, but the bride is NOT the victim in this.
4:55 You should _always_ have security cameras. Especially I should think on wealthy private property. Well-made game, but I feel sad. Especially at the irony that the groom invited her. Da-jeong: "It's not like you're here for a funeral." Manly: "Oh, she is."
It's the sad irony that he invited her, thinking his fiancé would be happy to see an old friend - he made one decision without consulting the bride-to-be and it caused his death
I actually have friends that met that way. She accidentally hit him with her car (at a low speed) and they got to know each other and fell madly in love and married at like, 18/19 and had a kid. That kid should be like 13ish by now, and they're still married. Wild.
While what the lead is doing is not right it makes you ask if we can trust the bride. The bride met the groom as part of an accident where the groom took all the blame. Most people wouldn't help so much if you crashed into their vehicle, helping the victim of your accident means they are less likely to press charges or react negatively. They just coincidentally hit things off. The point of how many people she killed, all for throwing the lead and maybe others under the bus, is incredibly valid. Then we get the real question were the lead and bride friends or was the bride using the lead to get through medical school? Our lead showed regret, while the bride never did. Don't throw people under the bus, you might create your own monster that returns the favor tenfold. Don't chase revenge, it won't fix things and only leaves you with regret.
Well said. Though some people who exact revenge don't feel regret. They feel joy for a moment and then emptiness. The only ones who live on happily are those who gained a lot as a result (fame, fortune, etc.), or are insane. In the case of this game, I'm thinking Bok-Su is just insane. The pain she felt drove her to become a monster with only one goal. Maybe she does feel sadness or regret judging by that last shot, but who knows?
I personally don't think the lead felt regret - at most only for the groom and his family, but she also probably thought he was a fool for falling for Da-Jeong (which could have been interpreted from her expressions when he told her how they met). I think her expression at the end was trying to hide within the crowd - if she showed no reaction or was seen smiling, she'd be suspected as the only other one at the scene. She only lets Da-Jeong see her smile, then immediately fakes disgust/horror at what happened.
Korean here. The name Da-jeong means considerate, kind while Bok-su means revenge. Quite fitting I should say. You can also see Myeong-hoon's mother wearing hanbok, traditional clothing usually worn by mothers during weddings.
I find it a bit ironic how Da-jeong means considerate and kind but she had been the complete opposite to Bok-su after framing her for killing a patient
bro justice for myeong-hoon, he was innocent but got murdered then later on possibly gets remembered as a cheater even though it's just a rumor spreaded by bok-su
I feel really bad for Bok-su. She said she'd never kill a patient, and yet she was so driven by revenge that she murdered an innocent man, and it didn't hit her until it was already done.
Another excellent game from the Dead Plate dev. This was just solid from start to finish. Our protagonist isn't exactly a saint but I do like that true ending. Shame for the groom, he literally did nothing wrong, but you got to give credit to a proper revenge plan.
Would've loved if there was a twist at the end, Like, turns out she did repent and was non-praticing. Or dropped out soon after the incident. The friend would've put all this effort into her revenge just to discover that it was far too late to turn back.
Even if that were the case, she never once tries to apologize, and makes it seem like she's more concerned her happy day is getting messy. Plus it would have probably made her even more angry, since then "what was the point of all that then?"
@@chainchomp3500 Also, she goes through the trouble of blaming everything on her friend but then drops out anyway? At that point, tell the truth so your friend can go back if she really regretted it.
I liked this more than I expected - at first I thought the alibi setup was pretty weak, since everyone saw them go in together and the protagonist changed her clothes, but the right details came in to make it work. It's almost a Machiavellian justice - they both kill people and suffer consequences for it, just not at the right time; arguably not the right punishments either, since the bride will probably suffer more serious punishment for murder than the protagonist faced for accidental manslaughter, but the protagonist suffered unjustly while the bride forced that suffering onto her for however many years, so you could also argue that it evens out. Really nice work, it almost reminds me of old Victorian short stories.
I agree! Also I feel like Bok-su changing her clothes could be excused as her simply taking off her top layer for comfort reasons- since it looks like she was just wearing a jacket over a regular outfit. Not sure about the witnesses, though 🤔
This has been the best revenge story I read in awhile. Yeah there was a lot of coincidences, but it was a fresh read and the details leading up to it was great. I just loved the parallel between both people.
I’ve seen quite a bit of theories about why Bok-su frowned at the end and I just wanted to share mine!! I think it’s anger. She did all of that. She had that shit planned out. All to make Da-jeong-in her words- ‘atone’ (honestly pretty fair choice of words). AFTER ALL THAT, nothing. Not an “I’m sorry.”, “I was wrong.”, or an “I apologize.”. NOTHINGGGGG, and I’ve been in situations kinda similar where someone will go through hell and high water FOR AN APOLOGY. THATS LITERALLY IT. So TLDR: Da-Jeong didn’t apologize or wtv tf Bok-su meant by ‘atone’ and Bok-su was angry (“I KILLED YOUR MAN, AS WELL AS FRAMED YOU FOR BEING CRAZY AND MURDERER AND YOU STILL WONT SAY ‘IM SORRY’?!”)
Not when you're still a student I guess. :o Student still killed a dude due to criminal negligence so gettin' oustered from the program at the very least probbo would have happened anyway.
@@marcelinelansing7475 You still get malpractice insurance as a student at least in the states. It's usually arranged by the school. I don't know enough about what happened, but any form of medical care that involved a scalpel would run some sort of risk that could probably be covered.
@@johannessmith1369 I guess more what I meant is that I don't know if Malpractice Insurance really would have prevented what happened. Malpractice Insurance makes sure she's covered if she gets sued, but it's not like she was necessarily financially ruined. If the mistake was egregious enough, the school may have said 'okay no, you're done, get out'.
I love the plot on this one, an eye for an eye, I mean you gotta appreciate all the stars aligning to find a way to make her suffer the exact same pain as her- the pain of being framed, of being accused of something you didn’t do, and now she’ll be going to prison for something she didn’t do
omg another racheldrawsthis!!! TwT Thank you manly for playing more of their games, i love their art & unusual way of making story that filled with angst and no happy ending, manly reading their dialogues is just adding cherry on top
I really enjoy this creator's writing, they do such a good job making compelling characters with only a few points to jump from. Showing what made someone break in only a few words and jumping from there. And doing so in only seven rooms too, real masterclass in the strength of small size. (Oh and Bok-Su's handsome too, but that's to be expected from this guy's broken killers.)
did NOT expect him to play this woa, I really hope that Manly plays Elevator Hitch at some point, seems absolutely perfect for his channel i love how everything circles back, the dialogue, the victims and the reaction of their parents, the CGs reflecting each other, even the placement of the injury on the side of the neck, and the murder weapons being similar
I’d like to think the cannon ending is the one where the main character dies. Then the bride has no way out, and has to live with knowing she killed 2 people, lost her fiancée, and also has to go to jail. Also I get the sense that the main character doesn’t really care about their fate atp.
What he did to her is exactly what she did to him. That's why his smile died at the last second. He was momentarily fulfilled by his revenge plot, but his heart broke [again] at doing this
girl I was waiting for you to play this, thank god. Love me some toxic beautifully tragic yuri-like games where someone changes the trajectory of somebody else's life
@@Annie-wy5mc oh god no- this is actually giving MHA flashbacks (ochako and the villain girl whose name I forgot) Anyway FR like they clearly hate each other and made each other's lives a living hell, how tf is this Yuri!? Also the bride girl literally had a husband she was gonna marry yo☹️
It’s weird that half the characters look like Manly. I thought it would be a fan game about him. Why would the bride tell her fiancé about this classmate she betrayed? She told him enough about her that he was able to track her down to invite her, yet she never said anything about them even parting on bad terms, or something vague like that? And why were two medical students performing surgery alone, with no supervision? I hope that’s not how they train surgeons in Korea.
She was probably scared he'd find out about what happened between her and Bok-su, so she never mentioned something negative. Her and Bok-su's relationship is almost romance coded, so de-jeoung could've mentioned her past relationships; they were at least close friends. And I can see De-jeoung mentioning Bok to him for those reasons. Him contacting Bok-su is a stretch, but I wouldn't be shocked if her number or profile was buried deep somewhere in de-jeoungs phone. As for why they were practicing alone? I have no idea lmao maybe their supervisor was monitoring multiple things at once and left them alone briefly. The whole story is a little bit of a stretch (esp the close burning part) but it's still a satisfying one
I feel bad for the groom (forgot his name), and in no way is his death justified People always say “oh it’s fine that an innocent uninvolved person died because his wife killed-“ but his wife didn’t kill them on purpose: yes it was wrong to frame them but it was a total accident. They didn’t WANT to kill an innocent person. The Protagonist did Can you tell I forgot all their named
I remember seeing intimate fanart of this and thinking that it was going to be a GL or a queer angst story the same way I saw discovered Dead-plate. But it showed one of the most toxic relationships ever. I feel so tricked 😭
Spoiler! Unless the cops does a crap job on investigation, I feel like Bok-Su would still get caught in the end since she threw her bloody coat into the fireplace (I'm unsure if it's even possible to obtain evidence from a fireplace).
In this fantasy it seems to be assumed that she did so without anyone seeing, and that it burned entirely to ash without causing any alarm, basically. Also, admittedly, they *are* pretty likely to just say 'Well, there's a motive and a bunch of witnesses. Case closed, everyone, we got 'er!'. Police just do that if it's too much of a pain in the ass. (I think the real damning thing might be having the bloody weapon in her non-murder-coat pocket, but even that would require the police check her pocket on the scene, I think.)
I mean, the university believed that Bok-Su was the reason the patient died, she probably would've protested but no one listened to her despite Da-jeong being assigned to them in the first place So its not too far of a stretch to say the cops wouldn't catch her, if the university couldn't figure that part out either
The fact that the bridesmaids got the cheating story from her (and that she changed her *very noticeable* clothes) would already be enough reason for her to end up on the suspect list. Even if they.... don't interrogate the Da-jeong.
I think she would be caught too, if the weapon was investigated then they would probably notice pant fabrics sticking to it (since she just kept the weapon in her pocket and not covered) and the fact that the groom's body had to be there for a while too. Police / detectives would figure out the time of death and the time inconsistency of when Da-jeong supposedly killed her husband. Also she would probably deny killing him and rat out Bok-Su and her motive
@@JaneDoe-uw7zvIn all fairness, De-jeoung was alone in the yard until she asked to be alone with Bok-su, with a window also, creating plenty of time for De-jeoung to do something. If any threads managed to stick to the "knife" (I think it's the cake slicer?) I don't think I'd matter bc like the 1st comment said, the coat is burned to ash, and perhaps the cake knife was just stored somewhere else for a bit? idk I don't think it'd matter without the actual coat. The thing I think would matter is witnesses and Boks story. Did anybody ever see De-jeoung enter the kitchen to grab the knife? How long did she and Bok talk for, what did they talk about, and why was the husband briefly in the closet? Did De-jeoung try hiding the body there and keep Bok-su silent? Although I think the fact that people's memories notably get VERY blurry during stress/trauma would be pretty easy to explain some things; both for the wedding guests and Bok.
Gosh, the art is so pretty. I always love watching/playing these kinds of games and wonder to myself "how could I turn this around in a sort of AU where we get a happier ending." So, at first, I was like "Oh, this is easy. MC chooses NOT to do what she ends up doing." But then I found out she had a reason and it was actually a bit sad to watch...I realized that it wouldn't have been as easy to just...make the MC just not do it. We have a reason for her wanting to cause pain to the bride. I guess the alternative would be that the bride goes and tries to apologize for the accident and, miraculously, gets the MC to not kill the poor groom. ...Or, hay, turn it to where the groom KNEW the person that the bride killed (maybe a brother or close friend) and the MC tells the groom about what happened (...before the murdering) and THAT'S how she gets her revenge. ... ... And, why not. Let the MC end up marrying the groom instead. I don't know.
YAY MANLY POSTED!!!!!! ive been waiting for you to try a game like this for a lil while, since i remember you played dead plate as well. Good video, Manly! :)
The artwork is great, but the music is absolutely fantastic. Clicked as soon as I could cause it reminded me of Dead Plate, happy to know the creator is doing more stuff :D
I feel like using the same kind of injury that she was accused of before might be evidence in the wrong direction, unless she also wants to reverse that previous incident, too?

And the person who did it to you smiling, knowing they did it

Da-jeong: "It's not like you're here for a funeral."
Manly: "Oh, she is."
It's the sad irony that he invited her, thinking his fiancé would be happy to see an old friend - he made one decision without consulting the bride-to-be and it caused his death
@@z2yngood
if you're gonna play another game from this developer I HIGHLY recommend "Elevator Hitch", it has the most endings out of any of the games
im begging every deity i can think of for him to play elevator hitch before eloquent countenance
PLEASE DO MANLY i will give you my soul if you do 🫶🫶
Yeah! Manly should totally play that game!
YES THAT WAS A GREAT GAME TOO
PLEASE play both of them but elevator hitch first would make me cry of joy
Manly’s voice weirdly suit Bok-Su well
Idk it’s because she kinda looks like Vince from Dead Plate
i thought of that too! but, to be fair, manly's voice suits every character well
maybe it's connected? :0
@@lightbulbplush True, his voice matches quite a lot of characters lol
He's definitely gotten a lot better since his shaky voice days when trying to do impressions
it's the same dev behind dead plate, so the visual connection is a lot less far-fetched than it may feel
I actually have friends that met that way. She accidentally hit him with her car (at a low speed) and they got to know each other and fell madly in love and married at like, 18/19 and had a kid. That kid should be like 13ish by now, and they're still married. Wild.
Aww so cute
that's adorable
that's not a meet cute, its a hit cute
You sure nothing happened on their wedding day?
Brb gonna meet my soulmate
@@ares395 *hits you with a car*
While what the lead is doing is not right it makes you ask if we can trust the bride. The bride met the groom as part of an accident where the groom took all the blame. Most people wouldn't help so much if you crashed into their vehicle, helping the victim of your accident means they are less likely to press charges or react negatively. They just coincidentally hit things off.
The point of how many people she killed, all for throwing the lead and maybe others under the bus, is incredibly valid.
Then we get the real question were the lead and bride friends or was the bride using the lead to get through medical school?
Our lead showed regret, while the bride never did.
Don't throw people under the bus, you might create your own monster that returns the favor tenfold.
Don't chase revenge, it won't fix things and only leaves you with regret.
Well said. Though some people who exact revenge don't feel regret. They feel joy for a moment and then emptiness. The only ones who live on happily are those who gained a lot as a result (fame, fortune, etc.), or are insane. In the case of this game, I'm thinking Bok-Su is just insane. The pain she felt drove her to become a monster with only one goal. Maybe she does feel sadness or regret judging by that last shot, but who knows?
I personally don't think the lead felt regret - at most only for the groom and his family, but she also probably thought he was a fool for falling for Da-Jeong (which could have been interpreted from her expressions when he told her how they met).
I think her expression at the end was trying to hide within the crowd - if she showed no reaction or was seen smiling, she'd be suspected as the only other one at the scene.
She only lets Da-Jeong see her smile, then immediately fakes disgust/horror at what happened.
the groom did not deserve that man...
But overall a solid story and I hope to see more from this developer cause their art style is eye candy to me
What do you mean?
@@Magikaskibiditoilet read em as "the groom did not deserve that, man..."
Korean here. The name Da-jeong means considerate, kind while Bok-su means revenge. Quite fitting I should say. You can also see Myeong-hoon's mother wearing hanbok, traditional clothing usually worn by mothers during weddings.
I find it a bit ironic how Da-jeong means considerate and kind but she had been the complete opposite to Bok-su after framing her for killing a patient
bro justice for myeong-hoon, he was innocent but got murdered then later on possibly gets remembered as a cheater even though it's just a rumor spreaded by bok-su
All because he wanted to do something nice and invited Bok-su. Poor guy sealed his own fate 😢
I feel really bad for Bok-su. She said she'd never kill a patient, and yet she was so driven by revenge that she murdered an innocent man, and it didn't hit her until it was already done.
Another excellent game from the Dead Plate dev. This was just solid from start to finish. Our protagonist isn't exactly a saint but I do like that true ending. Shame for the groom, he literally did nothing wrong, but you got to give credit to a proper revenge plan.
Would've loved if there was a twist at the end, Like, turns out she did repent and was non-praticing. Or dropped out soon after the incident. The friend would've put all this effort into her revenge just to discover that it was far too late to turn back.
Even if that were the case, she never once tries to apologize, and makes it seem like she's more concerned her happy day is getting messy.
Plus it would have probably made her even more angry, since then "what was the point of all that then?"
@@chainchomp3500
Also, she goes through the trouble of blaming everything on her friend but then drops out anyway? At that point, tell the truth so your friend can go back if she really regretted it.
She never said 1 sorry.
The wedding. The wedding where nothing goes wrong. That wedding.
This is a whole K-drama. Could have been an episode in The Glory to be honest
He did it everyone, he played Married in Red!!
I knew Manly was going to play this game!
I liked this more than I expected - at first I thought the alibi setup was pretty weak, since everyone saw them go in together and the protagonist changed her clothes, but the right details came in to make it work. It's almost a Machiavellian justice - they both kill people and suffer consequences for it, just not at the right time; arguably not the right punishments either, since the bride will probably suffer more serious punishment for murder than the protagonist faced for accidental manslaughter, but the protagonist suffered unjustly while the bride forced that suffering onto her for however many years, so you could also argue that it evens out.
Really nice work, it almost reminds me of old Victorian short stories.
I agree! Also I feel like Bok-su changing her clothes could be excused as her simply taking off her top layer for comfort reasons- since it looks like she was just wearing a jacket over a regular outfit. Not sure about the witnesses, though 🤔
In real life its way more complicated. Even glove prints can be used to trace a criminal. There's lot of stuff that can be found out by investigation.
This has been the best revenge story I read in awhile. Yeah there was a lot of coincidences, but it was a fresh read and the details leading up to it was great. I just loved the parallel between both people.
“Nothing is going wrong and nobody is dying.”
John Cena: “Are you sure about that?!”
I’ve seen quite a bit of theories about why Bok-su frowned at the end and I just wanted to share mine!!
I think it’s anger. She did all of that.
She had that shit planned out. All to make Da-jeong-in her words- ‘atone’ (honestly pretty fair choice of words).
AFTER ALL THAT, nothing. Not an “I’m sorry.”, “I was wrong.”, or an “I apologize.”. NOTHINGGGGG, and I’ve been in situations kinda similar where someone will go through hell and high water FOR AN APOLOGY. THATS LITERALLY IT.
So TLDR: Da-Jeong didn’t apologize or wtv tf Bok-su meant by ‘atone’ and Bok-su was angry
(“I KILLED YOUR MAN, AS WELL AS FRAMED YOU FOR BEING CRAZY AND MURDERER AND YOU STILL WONT SAY ‘IM SORRY’?!”)
that makes sense!
And that's why you have malpractice insurance.
Not when you're still a student I guess. :o Student still killed a dude due to criminal negligence so gettin' oustered from the program at the very least probbo would have happened anyway.
@@marcelinelansing7475 You still get malpractice insurance as a student at least in the states. It's usually arranged by the school. I don't know enough about what happened, but any form of medical care that involved a scalpel would run some sort of risk that could probably be covered.
@@johannessmith1369Unfortunately it was in Korea so perhaps it is different 😔
@@johannessmith1369 I guess more what I meant is that I don't know if Malpractice Insurance really would have prevented what happened. Malpractice Insurance makes sure she's covered if she gets sued, but it's not like she was necessarily financially ruined. If the mistake was egregious enough, the school may have said 'okay no, you're done, get out'.
Ah yes. I love getting married where everyone has red paint splashed onto them! Definitely nothing nefarious.
Nah thats not red paint thats ketchup
Ketchup, you’re never getting your deposit back 😱
Can't help but have the "painting the roses red" (from Disney's old animated Wonderland film) playing in my head.
Man, she did, truly, marry in red
*crowd cheers*
The artstyle is so pretty~
I keep pausing just to look at the character expressions.
damn! an actually really compelling and good indie horror game, the motive was good and vaguely made you feel for the killer
Man, that's actually scary, not in monster type scary, but to the point she went to made revenge. That's amazing
Struggling mentally currently and it’s like a breath of fresh air when you post thank you funky man
17:15 THAT FIRST OPTION (with the dog) SCARED ME
Man, the groom was so sweet 😢
Backstory be like: Introvert being adopted by Extrovert--gone wrong
Oof poor husband. 💀
Bok-su's aesthetic are goals~
I'm sure there's some symbolic meaning for Bok-su gradually removing the layers on her clothes as their plan unfolds that I'm missing
I thought that s well
I Guess It means revealing her intentions?
Omg I love how Vincent and Rody are guests at the wedding and that they’re sitting by all of the food lol!
Those are actually Bennie and Eddie, other character from Studio Investigrave for a future project. Not Vincent and Rody.
@@emartin29 ohhh gotcha. From that angle they kind of looked like Vincent and Rody, my mistake
The girls are fightiiingggg
(Also dear god, I love the artstyle so much it's so amazing)
NOOOOO WAYYYY THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTINGGGGGG!!!!!
i dream with the day manly will explain the ""empty like my soul" joke lore
it's a dialogue from a game called Grey Garden when you check the trash
@@kochiyamochiyaI never knew ! Thank you 😮
Pretty self explanatory lol
That was actually a really good story for how short it was.
I love the plot on this one, an eye for an eye, I mean you gotta appreciate all the stars aligning to find a way to make her suffer the exact same pain as her- the pain of being framed, of being accused of something you didn’t do, and now she’ll be going to prison for something she didn’t do
17:23 the "phrased wrong" part was funny lmao
Vincent made the cake
Not gonna lie, the revenge was pretty satisfying to see
omg another racheldrawsthis!!! TwT Thank you manly for playing more of their games, i love their art & unusual way of making story that filled with angst and no happy ending, manly reading their dialogues is just adding cherry on top
Were all invited for the wedding. 💍
why would she do that to a innocent man when she understood what it is like to be innocent
It was revenge sadly, it was undeserved and she thought it was the best way to get back at her
31:38 the moment reality hits
and now she knows what its like to be guilty
I really enjoy this creator's writing, they do such a good job making compelling characters with only a few points to jump from. Showing what made someone break in only a few words and jumping from there.
And doing so in only seven rooms too, real masterclass in the strength of small size.
(Oh and Bok-Su's handsome too, but that's to be expected from this guy's broken killers.)
I love the detail of how it completely came full circle like all the details of what happened in the past also took place here
did NOT expect him to play this woa, I really hope that Manly plays Elevator Hitch at some point, seems absolutely perfect for his channel
i love how everything circles back, the dialogue, the victims and the reaction of their parents, the CGs reflecting each other, even the placement of the injury on the side of the neck, and the murder weapons being similar
Idk how to explain the rush of satisfaction from when I could pronounce the names and read the hangeul
To be fair, it was a pretty nice dress. I'd wanna wear something like that ngl, but for my wedding we chose Ming Dynasty style.
I love enjoying these kinds of horror games. It always absorbs my attention to good story telling based on reality itself.
when someone is just wearing black at a wedding and I'm like "funeral"
A scapegoat tactic as the main course with a side or poetic justice and for dessert, sweet revenge and a dexd plate. im full now.
me when i visit a wedding where nothing goes wrong and no one dies (yet)
i love this persons art style so much - gives me old 90s anime vibes with a modern twist
I’d like to think the cannon ending is the one where the main character dies. Then the bride has no way out, and has to live with knowing she killed 2 people, lost her fiancée, and also has to go to jail. Also I get the sense that the main character doesn’t really care about their fate atp.
It's a terrible day for a wedding.
Okay, but why do these devs go making such beautiful murders? My heart can’t take it.
holy SHIT this plot is fire
What he did to her is exactly what she did to him. That's why his smile died at the last second. He was momentarily fulfilled by his revenge plot, but his heart broke [again] at doing this
Bok-su is also a woman, but I can see the confusion. I thought she was a guy at first too 😅
@@avacadotoast5571 lmao I see, well whoops, there goes my theory
I can tell a massive fandom will be created after this
There's people shipping Da Jeong and Bok Su on shipping lol
wow what a lovely man in a pink suit ! sure hope he doesnt die !!!!!☺🌸
What a nice, heart warming family story
I like that it was a pretty straightforward black and grey situation. Enjoyable for a game of this length.
girl I was waiting for you to play this, thank god. Love me some toxic beautifully tragic yuri-like games where someone changes the trajectory of somebody else's life
‘Red means I love you’
WAKE UP BABE HE'S PLAYING THE TOXIC YURI GAME LET'S GOOOOO
BABE: "MAYBE I'LL SIT THAT ONE OUT" 🛌😴
Yuri?? 💀
Bro what?
Are we assuming everything that has two characters knowing eachother is yuri, yaoi, or romance? Ffs, this is mha all over again-
@@Annie-wy5mc oh god no- this is actually giving MHA flashbacks (ochako and the villain girl whose name I forgot)
Anyway FR like they clearly hate each other and made each other's lives a living hell, how tf is this Yuri!? Also the bride girl literally had a husband she was gonna marry yo☹️
Red weddings are my favorite. How RED WEDDING are you???
It’s weird that half the characters look like Manly. I thought it would be a fan game about him. Why would the bride tell her fiancé about this classmate she betrayed? She told him enough about her that he was able to track her down to invite her, yet she never said anything about them even parting on bad terms, or something vague like that? And why were two medical students performing surgery alone, with no supervision? I hope that’s not how they train surgeons in Korea.
She was probably scared he'd find out about what happened between her and Bok-su, so she never mentioned something negative. Her and Bok-su's relationship is almost romance coded, so de-jeoung could've mentioned her past relationships; they were at least close friends. And I can see De-jeoung mentioning Bok to him for those reasons.
Him contacting Bok-su is a stretch, but I wouldn't be shocked if her number or profile was buried deep somewhere in de-jeoungs phone. As for why they were practicing alone? I have no idea lmao maybe their supervisor was monitoring multiple things at once and left them alone briefly. The whole story is a little bit of a stretch (esp the close burning part) but it's still a satisfying one
Ruining lives, ruining lives.
I feel bad for the groom (forgot his name), and in no way is his death justified
People always say “oh it’s fine that an innocent uninvolved person died because his wife killed-“ but his wife didn’t kill them on purpose: yes it was wrong to frame them but it was a total accident. They didn’t WANT to kill an innocent person. The Protagonist did
Can you tell I forgot all their named
Revenge stories are always really satisfying, he might _technically_ be in the wrong, but it really did get the message across.
I remember seeing intimate fanart of this and thinking that it was going to be a GL or a queer angst story the same way I saw discovered Dead-plate. But it showed one of the most toxic relationships ever. I feel so tricked 😭
As soon as I saw the art i knew it was deadplate and instantly clicked- they're such a good writer it was impossible not to
Excellent writing and solid plot in this one! Really enjoyed it!
Spoiler!
Unless the cops does a crap job on investigation, I feel like Bok-Su would still get caught in the end since she threw her bloody coat into the fireplace (I'm unsure if it's even possible to obtain evidence from a fireplace).
In this fantasy it seems to be assumed that she did so without anyone seeing, and that it burned entirely to ash without causing any alarm, basically. Also, admittedly, they *are* pretty likely to just say 'Well, there's a motive and a bunch of witnesses. Case closed, everyone, we got 'er!'. Police just do that if it's too much of a pain in the ass.
(I think the real damning thing might be having the bloody weapon in her non-murder-coat pocket, but even that would require the police check her pocket on the scene, I think.)
I mean, the university believed that Bok-Su was the reason the patient died, she probably would've protested but no one listened to her despite Da-jeong being assigned to them in the first place
So its not too far of a stretch to say the cops wouldn't catch her, if the university couldn't figure that part out either
The fact that the bridesmaids got the cheating story from her (and that she changed her *very noticeable* clothes) would already be enough reason for her to end up on the suspect list.
Even if they.... don't interrogate the Da-jeong.
I think she would be caught too, if the weapon was investigated then they would probably notice pant fabrics sticking to it (since she just kept the weapon in her pocket and not covered) and the fact that the groom's body had to be there for a while too. Police / detectives would figure out the time of death and the time inconsistency of when Da-jeong supposedly killed her husband. Also she would probably deny killing him and rat out Bok-Su and her motive
@@JaneDoe-uw7zvIn all fairness, De-jeoung was alone in the yard until she asked to be alone with Bok-su, with a window also, creating plenty of time for De-jeoung to do something. If any threads managed to stick to the "knife" (I think it's the cake slicer?) I don't think I'd matter bc like the 1st comment said, the coat is burned to ash, and perhaps the cake knife was just stored somewhere else for a bit? idk I don't think it'd matter without the actual coat.
The thing I think would matter is witnesses and Boks story. Did anybody ever see De-jeoung enter the kitchen to grab the knife? How long did she and Bok talk for, what did they talk about, and why was the husband briefly in the closet? Did De-jeoung try hiding the body there and keep Bok-su silent?
Although I think the fact that people's memories notably get VERY blurry during stress/trauma would be pretty easy to explain some things; both for the wedding guests and Bok.
the groom was so sweet though, i hope he finds the one in his next life...
(i'm gonna cry about this man tonight.)
Gosh, the art is so pretty.
I always love watching/playing these kinds of games and wonder to myself "how could I turn this around in a sort of AU where we get a happier ending."
So, at first, I was like "Oh, this is easy. MC chooses NOT to do what she ends up doing." But then I found out she had a reason and it was actually a bit sad to watch...I realized that it wouldn't have been as easy to just...make the MC just not do it. We have a reason for her wanting to cause pain to the bride.
I guess the alternative would be that the bride goes and tries to apologize for the accident and, miraculously, gets the MC to not kill the poor groom.
...Or, hay, turn it to where the groom KNEW the person that the bride killed (maybe a brother or close friend) and the MC tells the groom about what happened (...before the murdering) and THAT'S how she gets her revenge.
...
...
And, why not. Let the MC end up marrying the groom instead. I don't know.
YAY MANLY POSTED!!!!!! ive been waiting for you to try a game like this for a lil while, since i remember you played dead plate as well. Good video, Manly! :)
The artwork is great, but the music is absolutely fantastic. Clicked as soon as I could cause it reminded me of Dead Plate, happy to know the creator is doing more stuff :D
I like how the main character at the end kind of frowns or smth and realized revenge wasnt worth it and what she did was wrong
I feel like using the same kind of injury that she was accused of before might be evidence in the wrong direction, unless she also wants to reverse that previous incident, too?
Damn the art is incredible, and the story is amazing too, saw the video this morning and waited all day to watch it, worth the wait
12:35 Now HERE is the moment we waited for
