Kongji-jeon

Kongji-jeon is a story-driven, musou-style action game that began development in September 2024 with a team of three developers. All three original members remain actively involved, with no one having left the team since development began. Together, we are building a world that brings together Joseon-inspired settings, steampunk machinery, and Korean folklore.
All three developers are dedicating their full efforts to the combat system, refining its movement, impact, and pacing to deliver both the thrill of breaking through enemy hordes and the tension of confronting powerful foes.
We have also devoted at least 1,000 hours to asset creation alone, carefully crafting architecture, props, and terrain to capture the quiet, tranquil atmosphere of Joseon. Between fierce battles, rain-soaked mountain paths and mist-covered cliffs offer moments to pause and take in the world.
■ Fifteen Masks. One Wish.
The king has issued a royal decree: whoever gathers fifteen masks will be granted a single wish. Kongji, a young woman possessing extraordinary strength, wishes to marry Yi Mong-ryong. What begins as a journey to fulfill that wish draws her into dangerous events surrounding the masks.
Within these masks dwell parasites known as Honjeung. They enhance their wearers’ abilities while gradually consuming their sense of self. Confront those who wield this power, collect the masks, and bring Kongji closer to her goal.
■ Break Through the Hordes
Overwhelm your enemies with Kongji’s incredible strength and powerful melee attacks. Fight your way across crowded battlefields, sustain your offensive, and break through encircling enemies in exhilarating musou-style combat.
Boss battles demand more than brute force. Study your opponent’s movements, recognize attack patterns, evade dangerous strikes, and exploit openings. Battles against enemy hordes and confrontations with formidable bosses offer distinct challenges.
■ A Story-Driven Semi-Open World
Kongji-jeon aims to combine a guided narrative with regional exploration in a semi-open world. Follow the unfolding story, explore each region, and overcome the enemies and bosses standing in your way.
Your search for the masks will take you through rain-soaked mountain trails, bandit strongholds, towering cliffs, and waterfalls. Discover a world both familiar and strange, where traditional Joseon architecture meets machinery built from wood and brass.
■ Korean Folklore, Reimagined
Familiar figures from Korean literature and folklore—including Kongji, Patjwi, Chunhyang, Sim Bong-sa, and Hong Gil-dong—return in unexpected roles.
Meet Chunhyang as a blacksmith, Sim Bong-sa as a blind swordsman, and Hong Gil-dong as a scientist. Discover new sides to these familiar names as their stories intertwine with Kongji’s journey.
■ At Least 180 Hours of Main Story Content
Kongji-jeon offers at least 180 hours of gameplay for the main story alone. Travel across regions in search of the masks, follow events involving a diverse cast of characters, and face numerous battles and bosses.
The story will continue through subsequent updates, expanding the narrative and adding to the total amount of playable content over time. Actual completion time will vary depending on your playstyle and combat proficiency.
■ An Unusual Wish in a Dark World
A world of mask-corrupted beings and dangerous enemies awaits. Yet Kongji’s reason for venturing into its depths remains deeply personal.
Experience a darkly comic adventure where an ominous atmosphere, eccentric characters, and unexpected situations collide—and follow a heroine who refuses to let anything stand between her and her wish.
