- BIC Novel Impact Winner, an emotional narrative adventure capturing love, loss, and growth
- K-Indie Development Team TwoDpix’s First Challenge… Acclaimed for Emotion-Based Storytelling Narrative
Digital Touch Inc. (CEO Jung Sung-hun) officially launched ‘Sohee,’ an emotion-based story adventure game developed by the Korean indie development team TwoDpix, on Steam and STOVE on March 31. To celebrate the launch, a 10% discount event will be held for approximately 7 days.
The game is a highly anticipated title with a history of winning four awards, including the BIC Social Impact Award, BIC Narrative Final, Unity Social Impact Final, and the Geeks Awards Special Award, and a demo version is available for free to try.
The story of a wounded girl who dreams of becoming a musical actress
Sohee tells the story of a protagonist who grew up in a single-parent household, harboring a lack of love. She enters college to start a new life dreaming of becoming a musical actress and even finds a boyfriend, but unexpected events stand in her way.
Sohee, who was frustrated by the weight of life, begins to take a new step forward as she slowly retraces her past, emotions, and relationships with others. As the protagonist Sohee, the player must follow her daily life and memories to guide her back to smiling. The game is characterized by its focus on the character’s inner self and emotional changes rather than flashy events.
‘Immersion without explanation’… A story completed by oneself
Sohee’s most unique design philosophy is “immersion without explanation.” The game does not present players with clear goals or explanations. Instead, it encourages them to discover meaning for themselves as they explore the space, interact with objects, and directly participate in the protagonist’s daily life.
Sohee’s emotional arc subtly shifts depending on the player’s choices. The emotions of love, loss, forgiveness, and growth are all infused within this short story. It reads as a structure that fully embodies the development team’s philosophy of aiming for “short yet deeply lingering resonance.”
Sentimental direction with 2D pixel graphics… Fragments of emotion seeping into a quiet daily life
Sohee, which has Steam tags such as ‘2D pixel graphics’, ’emotional’, ‘drama’, and ‘atmospheric’ listed side by side, is a work that focuses on delicately capturing the textures of everyday life rather than flashy direction.
The journey of exploring the space and conversing with characters in a point-and-click manner to find answers amidst chaos is designed to convey emotions through quiet interactions rather than grandiose events.
Winner of 4 awards… A work already proven in the indie scene
Sohee is a title that has consistently garnered attention in the domestic and international indie game scene even before its official release. It received high praise for its storytelling and social message, earning nominations in four categories, including the BIC (Busan Indie Connect Festival) Social Impact Award, advancing to the BIC Narrative Finals, the Unity Social Impact Finals, and the Geeks Awards Special Award.
As its award history demonstrates, Sohee is a work recognized for its completeness as a piece that goes beyond a simple game to seriously delve into the inner self of a human being.
From graduation project to official release… TwoDpix’s development journey
TwoDpix, the developer of the game, is a small studio that originated from ‘Anemone,’ an indie team composed of students from the Department of Game Studies at Dongseo University. The team name Anemone reflects their desire to “capture diverse emotions in the game, just like the meaning of the anemone flower, which changes depending on its color.”
The initial plan to capture a wide range of emotions in the game carried over throughout the project, and the title was changed to ‘Sohee’ for a more intuitive message. Although the development process was not smooth, the remaining team members saw the project through to completion, resulting in the achievement of winning an award at BIC. ‘Sohee,’ which began as a graduation project and led to a commercial release, is also a record of the team’s challenge and growth.
Sohee is a work that focuses on a story calmly following a single character’s emotions, rather than on flashy systems or sensational plot developments. Through a structure where the player personally discovers meaning and completes the emotions, it presents another possibility for the narrative that games can convey.
Attention is focused on whether ‘Sohee,’ a quiet yet deeply moving game, can deliver a special emotional experience to users seeking story-driven indie games. The game is available for purchase on Steam and Stove at a 10% launch discount, and a demo version can be experienced in advance.
