Seoul, The Night

A night at the desk

Seoul, The Night is a PC decision game set during South Korea’s December 3, 2024 martial-law declaration. You work at a desk routing the orders and instructions of military officials, not as a commander. The room’s telephones start ringing during the president’s televised address, and the work continues until seven in the morning.

Martial law was lifted within six hours, after the National Assembly passed a resolution demanding it. The game focuses on the people whose actions helped stop the plan, including citizens, soldiers, police, investigators and military lawyers. The names are removed; people are identified by their titles.
