About The Siege of Jeomdo
The Siege of Jeomdo is a narrative-driven, roleplaying game set on the island of Jeomdo: home of artisans, master craftsmen and humble families. Take command as a retired veteran who is drawn into one final battle to defend his new home. With supplies dwindling and time running out, can you rally your warriors' resolve and guide them through impossible odds?
Jeomdo is home to a rich tapestry of characters - the very heartbeat of this conflict.
As you navigate the challenges ahead, you’ll forge relationships with a diverse cast: like Nuri, the outcast huntress; Moon soo, a pacifist monk offering wisdom amidst chaos; and Ji ho, a family man skilled in shaping miraculous clay. You’ll meet many more along the way. You might even share a drink with an unlikely ally.
Your successes and failures will shape the branching story and the lives of those who trust in you. You’ll be challenged with unique dilemmas as you prepare unlikely combatants for battle. With food running low, who gets to eat? Do you show mercy to captured invaders, or make an example of them? How far will you go to protect your new home?

A really beautiful text-based adventure. Great story. My only complaint, albeit minor, is that the end credits descriptions of people's fates don't seem to entirely make sense depending on your choices - a couple of mine referenced the post-game actions of people who were already dead.2 found this helpful
Fyi saving every character in the credit is possible. Ty Hip sword for the game.1 found this helpful
The Siege of Jeomdo is a nice polished visual novel that grabbed me right from the jump, mostly thanks to the distinct art style and a soundtrack that honestly slaps. The pacing is actually tight and scenes don't just drag on forever. Story-wise, it hits a nice sweet spot. It's simple enough to follow but has enough actual depth and branching choices to make you want to replay it. I put about ten hours into it, and the management mechanics definitely add a cool strategic layer. That said, it’s not perfect. I hit a few continuity bugs that broke the immersion, but didn't really bother me. Still, it’s a really engaging ride. If you're into visual novels, or even if you've never played one before and just want a good adventure, it's 100% worth checking out.1 found this helpful
I really loved this game and think more people should play it! I played in one sitting and will probably come back to make different choices and explore different routes after a few months. The story and characters are deep and compelling, and you find yourself wanting to protect each of them. The management systems feel cohesive with the game, and the tradeoffs are real. A visual novel with impactful choices, lovely art, and a genuine charm -- I hope more people give it a look!!
I feel compelled to post a positive review despite my short playtime, just because this is cool as hell. make more games like this, please.
Incredible art style and well paced I've b not played many games in this genre so it feels like an excellent introduction!
