After a brief analysis, Chen Mo roughly understood the designer's design intent. After all, so many psychology textbooks are not free.
So, Chen Mo touched the bathroom light in the darkness, and turned it on.
Amidst the crackling sound, the bathroom light was turned on again, but the tone became a little weird.
The sound of water in the bathroom had long since disappeared, and there was no one there, as if no one had ever taken a shower. Needless to say, it must be the hero's hallucination.
Chen Mo quickly found a line of blood on the bathroom mirror: "Find me, and you can escape from here!"
After a while, Zhao Lei asked: "The store manager, have you finished the story of the bathroom? Don't look outside, the clue is on the mirror in the bathroom. You can see it when you turn on the bathroom light."
Chen Mo: "Oh, I've found it. I've reached the balcony on the second floor. Should I go to the storage room next?"
Zhao Lei: "What??? How can you be faster than me?"
Chen Mo was a little speechless: "This game is so mentally handicapped, it's really not difficult. Moreover, the few ghosts and scary sound effects that appeared in the middle didn't have any high energy at all, they were simply weak."
Zhao Lei: "..."
Chen Mo continued: "Should I go to the underground garage after I'm done with the storage room? According to the consistent nature of this game, the clue should be in the red car, right? Do I have to take a risk from the trunk? What kind of bloody hand came out and grabbed it for me? After breaking free, I found that the bloody hand was gone again?"
Zhao Lei didn't speak for a long time, and finally managed to choke out a sentence: "Manager, have you... played?"
Chen Mo said, "I haven't played it before."
Zhao Lei was a little crazy: "Don't lie to me, manager! I haven't played it before, how do you feel that your process is faster than mine! How can you even know the trigger point of the plot?"
Chen Mo sighed: "Oh, maybe this is the sorrow of the game designer. He knows the psychology of the players clearly, and he knows where to scare people. This kind of low-energy plot has already appeared in the mind countless times. Over and over, there is no novelty at all."
Zhao Lei: "... I don't care about you anymore, store manager, I'll play by myself."
Zhao Lei felt that his IQ had been insulted, like a scumbag who was helpless when faced with the invisible bully of a bully.
…
The entire game process is not long, and it ends in less than an hour. Of course, the main reason is that Chen Mo passed by too fast.
For the average novice, the game "Desolate Mansion" still has some horror elements, and there are certain puzzles in it, such as the blood on the mirror in the bathroom. If you don't trigger it, you can't go on . Therefore, the first clearance time for most players is between 3 and 5 hours, and most of the time is spent looking for clues in fright.
But for Chen Mo, he is well aware of the player's psychology and the designer's intentions. He has long been mentally prepared for those high-energy links, and he also knows the rules of some puzzle-solving content. Players who have already passed the level and know the rules of the level are the same, so it will be over in an hour.
As for Zhao Lei, he is still fighting in the last scene.
At this time, the male protagonist is running in a space full of dead souls, and from time to time, dead souls will suddenly appear and grab his ankles.
This is the last scene of the game. The male protagonist has fallen into a deep hallucination. His schizophrenia symptoms have reached the extreme. He must find his own hidden will among countless dead souls and eliminate it to pass the level.
Zhao Lei played very nervously. Although he had already cleared the level once, after all, many elements of the last scene were random, and under the rendering of this terrifying atmosphere, he couldn't help but feel his blood pressure rise and his heart beat faster.
At this moment, Chen Mo's voice sounded in his ears inappropriately: "Zhao Lei, I have cleared the level, let's go first."
Zhao Lei: "..."
What the hell! Why am I still playing the last level, you have already passed it! Is it my first time playing or your first time playing? This game process is only less than an hour, you f*cked up!
Although countless grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart, Zhao Lei still said: "Oh, okay, store manager, you can go first, I will pass the customs soon."
The system prompts: "The friend who played the game with you has cleared the level, you can now use his save file to play the game, or continue the current progress."
Surrounded by many dead souls, Zhao Lei suddenly felt that everything he was doing was meaningless...
Why is this…
Obviously I am the player who has cleared this game, right
…
…
Coming out of the vr game cabin, Chen Mo's heart didn't fluctuate, and he even wanted to laugh.
This "Desolate House" was scored 3.7 points by the players. It is really not wronged at all. Chen Mo feels that this score is too high. If Chen Mo is asked to score it, it should be a negative score.
It may be because there are really no horror games in China that players are so tolerant of it.
In fact, after ten minutes of playing, Chen Mo was sure that the game "Desolate Mansion" is a vr puzzle game with a horror skin, except that the final scene requires players to run constantly to avoid the dead souls, find Except for the split personality, the other scenes are all just wandering around the room looking for clues, there is no special sense of tension at all.
There is no such thing as a monster that kills your whole family at the slightest disagreement, and there is no plot killing that looks like your finger hurts/penis hurts. Although there are occasional screams and a few scary scenes, they are all triggered after all. Like a haunted house, it doesn't matter if you stand still.
Moreover, the scene resources of this game are really too economical.
Except for the protagonist's room at the beginning, the entire game is played in a deserted house, and the game's resources are very, very limited.
It's no wonder that this game is sold so cheaply, there is not much cost at all!
In terms of the plot, Chen Mo highly doubted whether the script of "Desolate House" was written by a domestic horror film screenwriter, and all kinds of domestic horror films have a visual sense.
When I first entered the game, I felt suspicious, but in fact, the storyline of this game is very simple.
As an author who is keen on writing horror novels, the hero often needs to collect some horror materials, and often fantasizes that he is a character in the book, so he develops schizophrenia over time.
In fact, this deserted house was bought by another personality of his, and the female netizen named "Red Rose" is not real, but all imagined by him. Everything in this deserted house is his struggle with his other personality.
In the end, he defeated the other personality and walked out of the deserted house, so the game is over.
