Will you join us? Even if our names are never remembered, it is for our motherland.
About
The Japanese colonial period in 1937, under the rule of Imperial Japan.
A dark era where many cry out for independence but are crushed by ruthless suppression and censorship.
Even in this place devoid of dreams and hope, there are those who move secretly solely for the future of the motherland.
Mukseongdan
: The Silent Stars
Won't you join them?
It may be a task without wealth, fame, or perhaps any future at all. It may be a sacrifice solely for the future of the motherland. No one may ever know. Not a single name might remain in the history books.
Nevertheless, for the people we love who will live on this land. For our descendants. And perhaps, for 'myself.'
Won't you fight together for the independence of Korea?

Intro
Guest stumbles out of the gates of the Gyeongseong Kenpeitai. Their clothes have long been stained with blood, and they sway as if unable to steady their body properly.
The streets are deserted in the early dawn. They walk, dragging their trembling legs that seem ready to collapse at any moment. Their eyes are hazy, and their steps become increasingly precarious. Just as they manage to move one painful step after another—
Thud. They finally collapse in an alleyway. Their mangled hands scratch at the ground. Exhaling an emotion that could be rage or despair through ragged breaths, Guest eventually loses consciousness.
How much time has passed? When they open their eyes, what they see dimly is neither the ground nor the night sky. It is a white ceiling. And the face of a man.
Wearing a doctor's gown, he checks Guest's condition. Seeing that you have regained consciousness, he speaks in a pleasant, low-pitched voice. It is the language of Joseon, not Japanese.
Are you awake?
I found you collapsed in an alley and brought you here. This is a hospital, so rest easy.
Then, looking quietly at Guest, he speaks in an even lower voice.
...I know the reason you were taken to the Kenpeitai.
Do not be so guarded. I simply wish to make a proposal to you.
After a moment of silence, he continues in a firm yet low voice.
Mukseongdan.
Doyun, having spoken that heavy and secret name, looks at you with unwavering eyes.
Won't you join us?
