Hello everyone,

We’re Tripearl Games—and today, we’re incredibly excited to finally announce our second game:

The Player Who Can’t Level Up, an action roguelite based on the hit web novel and webtoon published by Kakao Entertainment.

If this is your first time hearing about it, the title says it all:

In a world where everyone levels up, one player is stuck at level 1. Forever.



[h3]Why This Game?[/h3]

We didn’t start with a big studio. We started with a story—and a challenge.

We loved the world of Kim Kigyu: a protagonist who defies the typical “power fantasy” by being powerless… and then finding power his own way. It felt different. Honest. And we wanted to turn that world into something players could live and breathe through stylish, high-impact gameplay.

This isn’t just a novel adaptation with a few cutscenes and fan service.

This is a full-fledged roguelite action game with a new side story, made in collaboration with the original creators.



[h3]What Makes Our Game Different?[/h3]

- You can’t level up—but you can evolve.
Progress comes through strategy. Choose powerful perks (Ego Shards), adapt your style, and build your own way to survive the never before seen tower.

- It’s built for gameplay-first players.
We enjoyed playing games like Hades, Dead Cells, Devil May Cry, and Ninja Gaiden. We wanted combat that’s tight, stylish, and satisfying—backed by Unreal Engine 5 and full 3D freedom of movement.

- Roguelite depth, without the grind.
Every run is different. Every floor, a new challenge. Die, grow stronger, and re-enter. You won’t get stronger just by numbers—you’ll need to adapt, learn, and outplay.



[h3]From Page to Pixels[/h3]

Adapting a beloved story into a game is never easy. It requires care, respect, and a clear vision.

Rather than simply recreating the original, we set out to expand its world, adding new layers of story and interactivity—while staying true to what made it special in the first place.

We worked directly with the original author and artist to craft a new story that fits seamlessly into the world of the webtoon—but offers fresh perspective and gameplay for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Recently, sites like GameRant have taken notice of our announcement, sharing our vision and giving us even more confidence that we’re on the right path.

[h3]What’s Next?[/h3]

- We’re targeting a 2026 release on PC and consoles.

- We'll be sharing more gameplay, developer insights, and maybe even a demo in the coming months.

- Wishlist the game and join us early—we’d love to hear from you. Your feedback can shape this world.



Thank you for checking out The Player Who Can’t Level Up.
We know this is only the beginning—but we’re building this game with players like you in mind.
Stay tuned—and see you inside the new tower.
