Global Debut of Playable Demo for "Age of Conquest: Hearts of Subjects"
ONE PASSION. COUNTLESS VOICES. A HISTORY RESHAPED.
In a world where everyone has their own will, can you build a "great nation"?
"Age of Conquest: Hearts of Subjects" is a colony simulation × 4X strategy game where you start by building a town, develop your nation, and eventually grow it into a world-class power. Clear forests, gather resources, and build houses. As people gather to form streets, the town will eventually develop into a nation—.
Every citizen living in this world has their own name, profession, and life. Sometimes, the desires and dissatisfations generated by citizens in their daily lives sublimate into "passion" that drives national change. Will you respond to these calls, or choose another path? Ally with neighboring countries, or march forth to expand your territory? Every decision you make intertwines with the daily activities of the citizens, ultimately creating a history unique to that world.

"Not Me: Who to Choose"
"Not Me: Who to Choose" is a Soul Triage Adventure game set in a beautiful yet eerie world. Players control a girl who awakens in a mental labyrinth, engaging in "dialogue" with the four souls residing within her body to find the "true owner of the body" while avoiding psychological traumas that strike at any moment.
The souls, having lost their memories, each claim to be the "true one." However, there is only one true soul. Which soul to keep and which to "erase" depends on your judgment—
Souls will switch on their own, outside of the player's control, drastically changing vision, sensations, and available actions. "Which 'self' will appear next?" This unpredictable anxiety is the "unease" beyond horror that this game aims to achieve.
