Fun Facts & Trivia
1. This is a solo project that has been a long and determined journey - I took 1 month to complete building this map. I decided to challenge myself to make an escape room game with storyline, dialogues, characters, and with different settings. It's my most complex map so far.

2. The inspiration came from a thought "What if my idol has a dual identity...?"

3. Most of the artwork (albums, posters, video footages, postcards, polaroid photos etc.) are originally created. They took up about 60% of the time taken to build this map. But I had lots of fun designing them :steamhappy:.

4. There are also a couple of little artsy deco made just for fun, like the Cafe Cactus. See if you can find the rest :)

5. There are backstories of some of the characters and easter eggs everywhere.

6. For example, Aki, one of the employees at VisionaryThink, is now is her late fifties as this setting is in Year 2045. She was one of the manga shop members in my other game "Missing Manga Artist", which took place in the early 2000s, and she was 17 then. Well, she still likes reading manga, so she has a few comic books on her office desk.

7. Did you realise that one of the postcards displayed beside the open wardrobe in the idol room is written by Janet? She's a loyal fan of Hyeon-Woo, and she's also the secretary of the Deputy CEO.

8. The way that the desks are arranged and how the rooms are decorated speak about the characters too. I have a backstory for each of them as I designed the map, but they are not shown in the game.

I hope you enjoy the game as much as I have fun creating it!
