[Notice] <Serenade of the Soul> Game Overview

Hello, this is Mr. Wolf from Spirit Of Wolf. We are excited to announce that we will be participating in the INDIE BOOST LAB for Serenade of the Soul from August 28 to September 13. Serenade of the Soul is a story-driven linear visual novel (kinetic novel) that faithfully follows the conventions of classic traditional romance. The demo version offers approximately 1 hour of playtime, and the full version, scheduled to launch later, is expected to provide around 3 hours of gameplay. We hope this game becomes a warm, comforting story that offers you a moment of rest in your busy daily life. Synopsis Behind the prestigious title of a cultural powerhouse lies a heavy yoke: South Korea, with the highest suicide rate in the world. The Han River, known for its beautiful night views, ironically becomes a place where someone makes the most sorrowful choice. A cascade of misfortunes triggered by an unjust dismissal—here, yet another man gives up on life and throws himself off a dazzling bridge.

[TheMoment!] A grim sense of realism and the dialogue scene with the reporter

Personally, having once struggled with similar concerns, the story of the young man attempting suicide didn't feel like someone else's problem, and I empathized with it deeply. I was fully immersed in the story, deeply identifying with the protagonist's desperate situation and psychological pain, but I was truly infuriated by the reporter's behavior, who, without any consideration, treated such a sensitive issue as mere material for a scoop, provoking it without a second thought. The reporter's selfish attitude, callously poking at the pain of a character in a difficult situation without any regard, was depicted so realistically and intensely that it made my blood boil; the sharp dramatic contrast made me feel even more drawn into the story. I am really curious to see how the next part of the story unfolds.

[TheMoment!] A great scene!

The line where they said they'd guard the house well, but ended up eating a bowl of cup noodles at lunch and couldn't get back in, so the protagonist had to wait outside I think it's a scene that really highlights Sereno's fun and bold charm lolSehee OUT !!

[TheMoment!] This scene was good

The standing illustrations were all pretty, butthe dress shirt is definitely the best

[TheMoment!] This scene event was good

Sereno, this character is so charming and I really like them.Especially the part where they express their emotions with "Ahaha.." fits the voice actor so well and it's addictive.Isn't Sereno's apron so cute?

30/08/2026

[TheMoment!] Favorite scene event participation [1]

Lol, the scene where they secretly put the apron in the cart at the mart was so cute, that's why I liked it. Honestly, I feel like they probably knew when they were checking out but just pretended not to notice

[TheMoment!] Those who will leave first someday [1]

This is a scene where you can see the deep heart of the protagonist who made a major choice while facing the most difficult and darkest times.I also felt choked up imagining that moment that everyone will eventually face someday.I truly hope that Sereno and you reach a good ending.

29/08/2026

[TheMoment!] A scene I liked [1]

I would say this scene where they save the protagonist was the most impressive.Serena's sudden appearance was also impressive, and since it's a scene that makes me curious about her true identity, I think it remained in my memory even more.

[TheMoment!] Sereno's various appearances [1]

The various outfits are nice. It had a somewhat moving climax, and it was a not-bad visual novel-style game.

28/08/2026

[TheSpot!] I think it might be somewhere on the bridge [1]

Hangang Bridge?

[TheMoment!] I am participating in the event [2]

I liked Sereno's positive thinking

[TheMoment!] A scene I liked [1]

Sereno, who stayed by my side when I was hurt and strugglingI really liked this scene

[TheSpot!] I found it. [1]

It looks like the view from the Grass Garden at Hangang Park or the walking path along the Olympic-daero.

28/08/2026

[TheMoment!] This was my favorite scene! [1]

I chose this because the way Serino explains why she has to nurse the protagonist while in her dress shirt, and the subtle expressions of affection for the protagonist that emerge during that process, were very impressive.

28/08/2026

[TheSpot!] So this is where the protagonist and the heroine met. [2]

I thought they fell from Mapo Bridge, but the area around Mapo Bridge is full of buildings. However, since there are no buildings here, I suspect this is actually the place where they met the heroine.

28/08/2026

[TheSpot!] I found it [1]

The dense skyscrapers across the river beyond the bridge on Mapo Bridge are a typical building forest of the Yeouido financial district appearance.

[TheSpot!] Found it~ [1]

It's the park where Sereno stopped by briefly during their date in Chapter 5, and it's also the location of the demo ending scene.It was the Solar Evergreen Pavilion installed inside Sayuksin Park in Dongjak-gu. It's unique and cool.Finding real locations in Seoul felt like playing another game within the game, so it was fun haha. Thank you for the great event.Resident shelter with solar power facilities at Sayuksin Park, 'Solar Evergreen Pavilion' | Source: Asia Economy | https://www.asiae.co.kr/article/2019041207365032454

It seems the location that served as the motif for the game's background is the riverside walking path at Yeouido Hangang Park.
