In the experience store, Chen Mo was sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, flipping through a book of "World Spiritual Stories Collection".
After finishing the review of "Escape", Chen Mo felt much more at ease. As long as this game can pass the review, the next step is to think about how to do it well.
Chen Mo didn't have any experience in making horror games before, so he was a little worried about whether he could perfectly reproduce the game "Escape".
After all, a horror game is a horror game if it is done well, and it becomes a game of complaints if it is not done well.
"Hey, store manager." Zhao Lei just came in from outside the experience store and greeted Chen Mo.
Chen Mo nodded in greeting: "Didn't you work overtime today?"
Zhao Lei sat down on the sofa opposite Chen Mo: "I didn't work overtime. It's hard to have two weekends these two days. It's not easy."
Zhao Lei is the office worker who played "Stanley's Fable" last time. He works in a financial company and often has to work overtime on weekends. But this weekend seems to be a rest, and I came to the experience store on the morning of the big Saturday.
"What book is the store manager reading?" Zhao Lei asked curiously.
Chen Mo stood up the spine of the book so that Zhao Lei could see the cover of the book.
""World Spiritual Stories Collection"? Manager, why are you in the mood to read this kind of book?" Zhao Lei was a little surprised.
Chen Mo looked at it and said, "Look for inspiration. By the way, do you usually play horror games?"
"Horror games?" Zhao Lei thought for a while, "Play a little too. Horror games are more suitable for regulating emotions and reducing stress. But I don't play much. Basically, I have only played two or three horror games in China."
"Oh. Do you have any recommendations?" Chen Mo asked.
Zhao Lei thought for a while: "Recommend? There is really nothing to recommend. Domestic horror games are a bit too boring as a whole. They are basically dreams, hallucinations, and psychosis. Although horror games don't particularly need plots, But that’s the way it is when you play a game based on hallucinations alone.”
"If you want to play the store manager, I will recommend you a "Desolate Mansion". Although this game is not very good, it is a VR game anyway, and the quality is not bad. Oh, the most important point, This game supports two-player mode."
Chen Mo put down the book and became a little interested: "Two-player mode?"
Zhao Lei nodded: "Yes, two-player mode. In fact, the so-called two-player mode is just a gimmick, which means that two people can share one save file. Because horror games on the VR side are quite scary, the developer of "Desolate House" wanted to Such an idea came up, two people play together, but two people can communicate at any time, and share archives at any time.”
Chen Mo thought for a moment: "A horror game specially used to abuse single dogs?"
Zhao Lei smiled: "You can put it that way. The main selling point of this game is that you don't have to be particularly afraid when two people play together. You can play while discussing, and you can directly use other people's save files for places you can't get through. Not necessarily Couples, maybe buddies and sisters playing together.”
The fire of interest that Chen Mo had just ignited was extinguished again: "This has a silly meaning. If you can't play the horror game, just skip it. Then you have the nerve to call yourself a horror game?"
Zhao Lei said helplessly: "There is no way. After all, the current level of horror game production in China is far inferior to that of the United States and Japan. Moreover, it is difficult to make, the market is small, and it is not profitable. If it is out of line, it may be interviewed by the gaming committee. It’s a hard job, and there are occasional domestic horror games, but basically they’re just trying to make some quick money and run away.”
Chen Mo put the book back on the shelf: "Come on, take me to play this "Desolate House"."
Zhao Lei was taken aback for a moment: "Shop Manager, do you want to play?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, let's examine the level of domestic horror games."
Zhao Lei was surprised and said, "Could it be that the store manager is going to make a horror game?"
"Hush." Chen Mo made a "silence" gesture.
Zhao Lei excitedly said: "Okay, I'll play with you, store manager!"
…
Chen Mo and Zhao Lei came to the vr game experience area on the third floor, and each found a vr game cabin.
The vr game cabin in the experience store is not allowed to install other games without permission, so there is only one vr game in the game cabin: "Minecraft".
Chen Mo used the authority of the administrator to purchase "Desolate Mansion" for the two game cabins of himself and Zhao Lei. It's not too expensive, there is a two-player version that can directly activate two game cabins, and it only sells for 398, which is relatively cheap in vr games.
After buying it, Chen Mo glanced at the player's rating, which was 3.7 points.
I feel that this horror trip is likely to turn into a trip of complaints.
After passing the friend request sent by Zhao Lei, the two can establish instant messaging and chat in the game cabin.
This friend request is a built-in function of the vr game cabin. Each vr game cabin has a unique number. This number is equivalent to the equipment number of the game cabin. Through this number, the online communication function that comes with the system can be completed.
"How about it, store manager, can we start the game?" Zhao Lei asked.
Chen Mo said, "Wait a minute, which mode to choose? Sober or fully immersive?"
"Uh, it's fine." Zhao Lei said, "You can choose after entering the game. Different vr games have different rules in these two modes, and there will be an explanation at that time."
"Okay, let's get started."
As Zhao Lei chose to start the game, a dialog popped up on Chen Mo's side: "Do you want to start "Desolate House" with your friends?"
Chen Mo chose "Yes".
First the logo of the game company, and then some fragmented fragments.
In the vr mode, the whole world Chen Mo saw was pitch black, only some clips and pictures were present in the void in front of him. These pictures soon filled the whole world, up and down, left and right, everywhere.
These images are messy and complex, with whispering lips, strange red curtains, dark blood, and fallen corpses...
The screen flashed by.
Chen Mo could tell that these pictures were made very low, but they were still quite bluffing when they passed by quickly.
After that, a system prompt appeared.
"Please select a game mode."
"Awake experience: In this mode, you can retain the real feeling of being in the game cabin, and you can disconnect the game at any time, which is equivalent to experiencing the game content in a fully awake state."
"Fully Immersive Experience: In this mode, you will be fully immersed in the world of vr games, similar to a dream. In this mode, you will have a better gaming experience, when you disconnect, it will be like from a dream Like waking up."
"It is recommended that you experience the game in a fully immersive way, but a fully immersive experience requires a more comprehensive physical examination. If your physical condition is not qualified, you will be forced to switch to a sober experience."
