Sound design
Original procedural ambience created for Seoul Signal: soft city textures, footsteps, wind and water, with short synthesized ceramic and paper-wrapper effects triggered by your choices. These are designed soundscapes, not location recordings. No music or recorded conversations are used.
Production status
This development preview uses separately photographed food details for the meal scenes. The evening river photograph sets the location; the ramyeon photograph does not depict that riverfront.
Story
The story is fictional and set in real Seoul locations. Choice results describe the night you selected, not your personality.
