Try and navigate your way through one of the world's most tightly controlled dictatorships, with two cute soldiers by your side. Avoid getting shot, executed, black-bagged, or tried for treason as you explore Pyongyang's most famous tourist attractions.
The game follows a typical visual novel format, allowing players to make choices that branch the narrative and determine the outcome. While the gameplay mechanics are limited to this visual novel structure, the focus on story, characters, and humor is the primary draw.
Players take on the role of an American veteran visiting North Korea, exploring the country alongside two young North Korean military police officers, Jeong and Eunji. The story progresses through a series of choices, such as selecting which locations to visit or how to respond to the girls' comments and actions. Reviewers praise the blend of humor, social commentary, and occasional darker undertones woven throughout the narrative.
A key strength of the gameplay is the game's replayability. Multiple potential endings based on the player's choices encourage repeat playthroughs, allowing players to experience the different narrative paths and outcomes. This encourages a deeper exploration of the game's content and the impact of the player's decisions.
While primarily a comedic experience, the game also incorporates educational elements about North Korea. As the player character explores the country, the game provides insights into North Korean culture, history, and the realities of life under the authoritarian regime. This blend of entertainment and information is appreciated by many reviewers.
