Hongleebooks Game Journey From Books to Games: A New Creative Journey We began with stories on the page. Now, we are taking those stories into small, playful worlds that people can move, touch, and experience. Hello, this is Hongleebooks . Until now, Hongleebooks has mainly focused on books, stories, picture books, and educational content. We have always believed that a small idea can become a meaningful story, and that even a simple character can stay in someone’s memory. Recently, we have begun exploring a new creative path. Games. A book tells a story through words and images. A game allows the player to move, choose, fail, try again, and experience the story in their own way. To us, games are not separate from storytelling. They are another form of it. A ga...

Chat Overflow: The Night It Began


I spent the whole day among people,
yet somehow felt even more alone.

That night, without a second thought,
I pressed “Start Streaming.”

The Night Everything Began

A quiet room, a single click,
and a world that suddenly started talking back.

The Night No One Was There


By day, she worked part-time at a café.
By night, she returned to an empty room.
Even after spending the whole day surrounded by people,
somehow, the loneliness felt heavier than ever.

“Good work today…”

She said her goodbyes and stepped outside.
Among groups of people laughing and heading somewhere together,
she quietly turned in the opposite direction.

It wasn’t that she had nowhere to go.
She just had nowhere she wanted to be.

Cafe work and lonely night contrast

A day full of smiles, and a night full of silence.


Back home.
The moment the lights turned on,
the familiar silence filled the room.

Somewhere along the way,
the things she once loved had quietly faded.

She used to enjoy games.
Now, even that felt exhausting.

Lying on her bed,
she scrolled through YouTube Shorts.

She smiled at something funny—briefly.
But as soon as the next video played,
the smile disappeared.

What remained…
was emptiness.

A woman lying on her bed, looking at her phone in a dark room

The room was quiet, but her mind wasn’t.


“I guess today will just pass by like this…”

She whispered quietly.

And then—

something made her stop.

A smartphone screen showing a bright live stream with active chat

A small window… but a completely different world.

A live stream.

On the screen,
someone was laughing and talking with their viewers.

Nothing special.
Nothing extraordinary.

And yet…
she couldn’t look away.

The chat scrolled rapidly.
Someone laughed.
Someone asked a question.
Someone stayed.

They were all sharing time together.


“Could I… be there too?”

The thought came naturally.

After a brief hesitation,
she turned on her computer.

An unfamiliar screen.
Unfamiliar buttons.

And one of them read—

“Start Streaming”

A young woman about to press Start Streaming, transforming from reality into a streaming avatar

One click stood between her old silence and a new world.

Her finger hovered for a moment.

Would anything change?
Or… would nothing happen at all?

In the quiet room,
she finally pressed it.

The camera turned on.
A faint breath touched the microphone.

“…Can you hear me?”

There was no answer.

But then—

a small number appeared
in the corner of the screen.

1


That night,
she spoke to someone
for the very first time.

And that stream—

slowly,
quietly,
began to change her empty days.
