Hello, this is Realworld. The movie 'Exhuma' has been gaining popularity recently. As of March 2024, it has surpassed 8 million viewers, and there's growing interest in whether it will become the first occult film to reach 10 million viewers!
While there are various reasons for the film's success, one could say it's due to how well it reimagined classical elements like feng shui and shamanism for modern times. In other words, the story of vengeful spirits appearing in modern society—which seems unlikely to be connected to supernatural phenomena—and the people who confront them has appealed to audiences.
If watching 'Exhuma' has sparked your interest in Korean occult content, why not explore new stories at Realworld, a treasure trove of immersive worlds? We invite you to the secret city of 'Geocheon,' prepared by a planner truly passionate about the occult.
Korean Occult Universe: The Geocheon Series
Geocheon City: A City of Tradition and Harmony
Located in northern Gyeonggi Province, Geocheon City was a basin-type city surrounded by three mountains, with mountainous terrain accounting for 60% of the entire urban area. Perhaps due to this geography, Geocheon had developed a uniquely insular character, growing while forming its own distinct culture different from surrounding cities.
At its center were two indigenous families: the Geocheon Hyeon clan and the Geocheon Baek clan. These two families, who trace their ancestry to two serpents from the Myoak Mountain evil spirit legend—one of Geocheon's indigenous folktales—became human and have carried on shamanic practices for generations, following their ancestors' promise to seal away evil spirits.

The Geocheon Series is Korean occult universe content set in the fictional city of Geocheon, home to two indigenous families. The story primarily revolves around 'Jeeung,' Geocheon's exorcism volunteer patrol group, and 'Jinbaek Security,' which employs special security guards specializing in exorcism.
The indigenous families of Geocheon—'Geocheon Hyeon clan' and 'Geocheon Baek clan'—have been sealing away chang-gwi and other spirits in Geocheon City for generations. However, since shamanic work alone cannot sustain their livelihood, the Geocheon Baek clan operates 'Jinbaek Security' as a front security company while secretly deploying 'special security guards' composed of mediums for exorcism work, and simultaneously sponsors 'Jeeung,' the exorcism volunteer patrol group.
Just from this brief background explanation, can you feel the solid worldbuilding? I'm confident that when you actually play, you'll get that spine-tingling feeling as if you're really in Geocheon City. The Geocheon Series currently consists of 8 episodes total, with the order being: 'If You Go There,' 'Today's Journal' - 'Seonik-dong House' - 'Jeeung Series' - 'Chang-gwi (倀鬼): The Curse of Myoak Mountain' - 'Before Dawn Breaks.' Please note that 'Before Dawn Breaks' is a 2-player cooperative game.
Among the series, 'Seonik-dong House' was adapted into a web drama as a Realworld original series. The eerie atmospheric backdrop blends well with the actors' excellent performances, and it's a must-watch for those who want to visually enjoy the imagined appearance of Geocheon City.
We'll see you in Geocheon. Thank you!
