The Imugi becomes a dragon
The thousand-year serpent grows as the fight drags on, until it ascends as a dragon, breathes fire and floods the floor.
The creatures aren't decoration. They behave the way their stories say, and every one you meet goes into a codex with its original tale. There are more than 200.
The thousand-year serpent grows as the fight drags on, until it ascends as a dragon, breathes fire and floods the floor.
He bursts out of a splitting boulder on the last floor of Mt. Jiri. At half health the wings under his arms unfold: he swoops in, strikes, flies off, and finally charges on his dragon-horse.
The bandit of the underground kingdom keeps his life in a jar. Until you find it and smash it, no blow can bring him down.
Watch the tale in a short video, then meet the creature in the game. Tap a monster and a sheet like these opens, and every creature you meet goes into the codex with its tale.
A Goryeo king fleeing by boat to Ganghwa Island grew suspicious when the boat turned into a narrow strait that looked like a dead end, and had the boatman, Sondol, beheaded.
Before he died, Sondol set a gourd on the water and told them to follow it, and the boat passed safely. Every year since, around the 20th day of the tenth lunar month, a bitter wind blows. People call it the Sondol wind, and the strait Sondol's Neck.
In the game, Sondol is a vengeful spirit whose wind knocks you back two tiles and off your feet every four turns. If there's water or poison behind you, that's where you land.

The haetae is a mythical beast said to tell right from wrong and gore the guilty with its horn. It became a symbol of law and justice, and was also believed to hold back fire.
When Gyeongbokgung Palace was rebuilt, stone haetae were set before Gwanghwamun Gate, it is said, to guard the palace against fire. Two of them still stand there today.
In the game, the haetae's stone body shrugs off fire and poison. Every five turns it lowers its horn to aim, then charges down that line next turn, knocking you two tiles back. Step out of the line.

Wood, fire, earth, underworld, water. Cast in order and each spell gets a bonus; complete the circle and the next spell hits twice as hard. Lightning on water spreads the shock.




A dokkaebi warrior, a fox conjurer, an imugi shaman, a crow assassin… each of the 168 combinations plays differently.















Summon small dokkaebi fires, then raise a dokkaebi and gangsi to fight beside you. A wisp next to an enemy can be set off.

Charge down a line of enemies and cut them down one after another.

Vanish, step through the shadows to the enemy's back for a sneak attack, then finish the weakened foe with a single cut.
Serve a god at a shrine and receive their blessings. But every god has a taboo, and breaking it is punished.

God of the mountain who commands tigers

King of the Dragon Palace, ruler of sea and rain

The grandmother god who grants life

The Seven Stars who grant luck and long life

The abandoned princess who keeps the road to the Underworld

God of fire who keeps the hearth

Leader of the dokkaebi, lover of wrestling and pranks

The giant grandmother who piled up mountains and islands
Only those who gather the orbs can open the gate to the Underworld. Along the way, side dungeons open into the tales themselves: Mt. Jiri, the Dragon Palace, the Dokkaebi Market.

도트 그래픽이라 귀엽고 아기자기해서 시작했는데 생각보다 난이도가 있어서 계속 도전하게 되네요ㅋㅋ … 틈틈이 한국 설화에 대한 내용도 알게 돼서 좋았어요!
I started because the pixel art was cute, but it's harder than I expected, so I keep going back lol … and I liked picking up Korean folktales along the way!

A ten-question test. Every monster in the results is in the game.
