**Game Description**
--------------------
_“Looking for someone to run the boarding house once again!”_
The FMV romance simulation **\[Five Hearts Under One Roof\]** returns with Season 2!
Step into the shoes of Yuman once again and run a love-filled boarding house alongside six charming heroines.
Season 2 brings back fan favorites Mal-sook, Gran, and Min-jung,  
now joined by three new tenants, each with their own unique charm.
Experience heart-fluttering new stories and see how much the girls have grown.
In the end… who will stay by your side?
**Character Introduction**
--------------------------
**Mal-sook Go / First Tenant / Childhood Friend of 20 Years**
_"From today on, he’s under my control!"_
Perfect chemistry, unspoken understanding—Mal-sook is Yuman’s one and only friend.
In the 21 years they’ve known each other, there was nothing they didn’t share.
At least, until a few months ago.
Now, Mal-sook has a secret she can’t bring herself to tell Yuman.
**Gran Dong / Second Tenant / Workplace Supervisor**
_"When we’re not at work, don’t call me 'Manager.' Use my name."_
Even calling her a workaholic wouldn’t cut it. Gran is completely obsessed with her job.
To her, anything outside of work isn’t worth her time or thoughts.
But there's one exception: Yuman.
Watching him has become her unexpected source of enjoyment.
**Yu-na Jeong / Third Tenant / Wealthy Heiress**
_"I came to take responsibility for you, Yuman. I always keep my word."_
The youngest daughter of a powerful and successful conglomerate family.
She seems carefree, full of energy, and always ready to have fun—like she doesn’t have a worry in the world.
But at home, she’s seen as the clumsy, useless one.
And that “useless one” ends up causing real trouble.
**Min-jung Park / Fourth Tenant / First Love**
_"I had nowhere else to go but here."_
Once an unknown idol struggling for attention, Min-jung is now a national sweetheart.
Just when her career seemed to be at its peak, radiant and busier than ever,
another scandal threatens to bring her crashing down.
Right now, Yuman is the only person she can rely on.
**Yoo-jung Yang / Last Tenant / Quiet Wallflower**
_"You're the first person who’s ever really seen me."_
Yoo-jung does nothing but work—unless she’s eating or sleeping.
Because of bullying she went through in school, she finds it hard to face people.
She keeps putting off college, too, afraid of dealing with others.
But then, someone like Yuman comes into her life—a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
**Gyu-ri Bang / Soon-to-Be Tenant (?) / Sweet Nurse**
_"Yuman, you’re a patient right now. A patient!"_
With her warm personality and adorable looks, Gyu-ri is like an idol to the hospital patients.
Despite the demanding nature of her job, she gives her all with a strong sense of duty.
But one particular patient starts to feel... different.
Lately, Yuman keeps crossing her mind—not as a patient, but as a man.
_Out of these six unique heroines, who will you fall in love with?_
_Or… will it be someone else entirely?_
**Key Features**
----------------
**Immersive Romance Simulation in First-Person Perspective**
The entire game unfolds through Yuman’s eyes, from start to finish.
Talk, choose, and shape the story alongside the heroines from a fully first-person viewpoint.
Feel like you’re truly the owner of the boarding house, living the romance for real.
**Richer Storylines with Lower Barriers**
With expanded story branches and brand-new bonus videos, Season 2 lowers the barriers that held you back in Season 1.
Get closer to the heroines more naturally, and unlock hidden epilogues and bonus CGs to your heart’s content!
**More Natural Acting and Stunning Visuals**
The original video team—who brought Season 1’s heroines to life—is back on board.
Expect even more authentic performances and high-quality visuals that heighten the emotional depth and realism.
**More Features, More Fun**
With a newly added item system, you can add strategy to how you win each heroine’s heart.
Discover hidden choices that unlock new scenes—every playthrough promises fresh surprises and new romantic moments.
**Even More Irresistible Heroines**
"From the childhood friend and wealthy heiress to the first love and the shy girl learning to open up—each heroine brings a strong, unique charm.
Whether older, younger, or the same age, they’re all drawn to you."
Get ready to be at the center of even more unforgettable love stories.

- Excellent FMV production quality (weight 0.13): The game was lauded for its superior production quality, particularly its high-quality video and filming, making it stand out as a top-tier title within the FMV game genre.
- Effective and fitting soundtrack (weight 0.13): The background music and theme songs were highly praised for being well-done and fitting for each scene, significantly enhancing emotional moments and the overall viewing and playing experience.
- Improved character roster management (weight 0.1): Developers made conscious choices to refine the character roster, removing less popular characters from the previous installment while retaining core favorites, which was well-received by players.
- Demo save data transferable (weight 0.08): Players appreciated the convenience of being able to directly inherit their save files from the demo into the full version of the game, ensuring a seamless transition.

Common complaints:
- Widespread audio and subtitle issues (weight 0.21): Players report frequent issues including missing subtitles, entirely absent voice lines for main characters, out-of-sync audio, static noise, and a jarring 'dubbing' feel. These problems significantly detract from the immersive experience, particularly on platforms like Steam Deck.
- High price for game content (weight 0.21): Many players feel the game's direct purchase price, especially compared to similar domestic titles or its predecessor, is too high. The perceived value for money is low, leading to dissatisfaction.
- Disappointment with character changes/plot (weight 0.13): Players expressed disappointment regarding the absence of specific beloved characters (Eun-bi, Seung Yi) or actors (Cao Shengyi) from the game. Additionally, the narrative in Chapter 4 was confusing for some, leading to unexpected outcomes where choices felt meaningless.
- Gameplay progression issues (weight 0.11): Players experienced game-stopping bugs, missing choice options, and a 'favorability threshold' system that unfairly blocks chapter progression. There are also general compatibility issues reported with Steam handheld systems.
- Inferior to previous game (weight 0.11): Reviewers generally feel the game, including its 'fan service' elements, is not as good as the first installment. This indicates a perceived drop in overall quality or appeal compared to its predecessor.
- Region-locked game features (weight 0.06): Accessing the game's leaderboard and an extra ending requires using workarounds like a VPN. This geo-restriction is inconvenient and prevents some players from fully enjoying all available content.
- Poor Chinese localization (weight 0.04): The Chinese translation for achievements and descriptions appears to be machine-generated, leading to inaccuracies and mismatched character names. This significantly harms the experience for Chinese-speaking players.

Gameplay feedback:

- Simple mouse-based mini-games (weight 0.03): The game features mini-games that involve basic mouse interactions, such as dragging the mouse or clicking precisely within a target circle. This indicates a focus on simple, interactive elements.

Performance notes:
- Steam Deck voice audio missing (weight 0.04): Players on the Steam Deck platform reported that actor voices were inaudible when starting the game. This indicates a platform-specific audio bug impacting the initial game experience for Steam Deck users.
- UI elements cause frame drops (weight 0.04): Users experienced significant frame rate drops specifically when in-game options or menus were displayed. This suggests a performance optimization issue tied to the game's user interface rendering.
