A Seoul indie studio presents a catalog of casual mobile games inspired by everyday places and routines.

Worth noticing: The catalog includes a one-tap CCTV shoplifting game and a bathhouse tycoon built around shoe lockers, hot baths, and regulars.

Field notes

The studio says it starts with an everyday place, isolates the enjoyable part of running it, then polishes that interaction; concept, art, code, sound, and localization are handled in-house. The catalog ranges from arranging a Korean bathhouse’s route through lockers and saunas to watching a self-service shop’s CCTV and tapping suspected thieves. Listings link out to mobile app stores, and the site reports 15 live games across eight languages.
