Wonhon: A Vengeful Spirit

Wonhon: A Vengeful Spirit manages to acquire a certain desired length in the stealth genre with its decent atmosphere and supernatural mechanics, but it robs the concept with a plot and dialogues that aren't very favorable for a striking debut. If you have a passion for the stealth genre, I highly recommend it as a game to pass the time, but otherwise you won't be tarnishing the memorable dark dosages.

Definitely a fun game. I thought it was a really unique concept for a stealth game. It had enjoyable but challenging missions, good use of audio elements and did a great job at balancing the dark theme with the stealth-strategy gameplay. Great value overall.

Wonhon: A Vengeful Spirit is a dark supernatural stealth game that combines tactical infiltration with Korean folklore and an alternate version of 1920s Korea. Developed by BUSAN SANAI GAMES and published by SuperGG.com, it follows a murdered young girl who receives another chance to walk among the living after making an agreement with Jeoseung Saja, the God of Death. Her return comes with two purposes: punish those responsible for her death and help other spirits resolve the unfinished matters preventing them from finding peace. Rather than turning its protagonist into an overwhelmingly powerful ghost, the game makes vulnerability an important part of the experience. Armed soldiers remain extremely dangerous, and attempting to fight groups directly is rarely a sensible strategy. Most encounters encourage observing patrol routes, identifying isolated targets, finding hiding places, and determining the safest way through hostile territory. The isometric viewpoint supports this approach by giving players a broad view of their surroundings while preserving uncertainty about what may be waiting farther ahead.

Fun little game

I liked the main gameplay mechanic with morphing to other bodies, not only because it's something different but also because the game did it well to not let it be too repetetive from start to end.

Short stealth game. 10 bucks is a bit much, there are other indie stealth games with much more muscle for similar price, but I really liked the concept. Being set in the Japanese ocupation of Korea, playing as a spirit wanting revenge... it's not something you see every day. The level design isn't super intricate, but it's one of those cases where the developers let the mechanics speak for themselves and they do a pretty good job even with some jank here and there. I think at some point they ran out of budget and couldn't make more assets, so they introduced a new breed of resurrecting enemies and from there the game loses a bit of magic. My impression generally is that the developers did what they could with the tools they had. I would love them to revisit this idea in the future with more experience, because they were onto something special, in the meantime if you like what you see, I think this is worth the 3 hours that this lasts. Just get it on sale.
