The mobile indie game “Drifting in Turbulent Times Korean History RPG” developed by 2Kang Project, has topped the Google Play Store’s popularity chart, drawing significant attention in the mobile gaming scene. Selected as an outstanding project under the 2025 Content Creative Talent Support Program, organized by the Korea Creative Content Agency and operated by Gemblo Company, the game quickly built a passionate fanbase upon release and has solidified the appeal of idle simulation games to Korean audiences.

Thanks to the program’s systematic support, the game creatively integrates the unique theme of Korean history, demonstrating that indie studios in Korea can develop highly competitive content with the help of government initiatives.

They added,
“We’re proud that players are naturally learning about historical events through gameplay. Our philosophy was: ‘History is not something you learn; it’s something you experience.’”
