Experience the store.

Chen Mo checked the plot of "Lifeline" for the last time, and said to Su Jinyu and Zheng Hongxi, "Okay, passed."

"Yeah! That's great!" Su Jinyu couldn't help cheering.

This is equivalent to a game that she and Zheng Hongxi completed independently, and Chen Mo basically did not intervene, so it is very commemorative.

{If Chen Mo instructed Zheng Hongxi to change the plot seven or eight times, it would not count as meddling. }

Zheng Hongxi also heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face. Although Chen Mo asked to change the plot several times, and there were two or three major adjustments in the middle, it was finally completed.

In this process, Zheng Hongxi's understanding of the game's plot has further improved, and his ability to control the player's psychology has also been enhanced to a certain extent.

Now Zheng Hongxi is also looking forward to it. What is the reaction of the players after playing this game? Will they like his plot

Chen Mo installed "Lifeline" on his mobile phone and handed it to Chang Xiuya: "Come on, be the first guinea pig."

Chang Xiuya was also a little curious.

These days, they all knew that Su Jinyu and Zheng Hongxi were working on a text adventure game, but they didn't know what kind of game it was or what the plot was like.

There are quite a lot of text adventure games in this world, and it is a relatively classic game type. Many game designers who prefer plots generally start with text adventure games.

Because this kind of game is too easy to make, all you need is a good script, and the rest is to buy a set of good-looking vertical paintings, and then spend money to hire someone to dub the sound and you're done.

However, because there are so many text adventure games, it is difficult to make features in this field.

The text adventure games in this world are very similar to the previous life. The themes mainly focus on the two aspects of city and ancient time travel, because many text adventure games are aimed at female players, and female players... like these two themes more.

Chang Xiuya herself usually plays text adventure games, but the text adventure games she encounters later are a bit stereotyped, with the same template and different stories, and it is easy to get tired after watching too much.

If only the plot of the text adventure game is different, then why not read a female video novel!

Chang Xiuya is actually a little worried that the game "Lifeline" will be too similar to other text adventure games, but after thinking about it, this is after all the store manager personally checks it, and the store manager's game...

Well, except for "My name is mt", which is a bit cheating, the ideas of other games are great.

The overall color of the game icon is black, and there is a villain on it, wearing clothes that look like an astronaut. In the upper right corner of the icon, there is an electric wave symbol of unknown meaning.

"Hmm... Could it be a sci-fi theme? This is quite rare."

Chang Xiuya clicked the icon to start the game.

Entering the game, there is a small prompt window: "Lifeline is an interactive story told in a few days, Taylor will keep in touch with you at any time, please allow this game to send you notifications, which may affect your game experience. "

Chang Xiuya clicked the "Allow" button.

What appeared in front of her was an interface somewhat similar to a chat software, and soon, message prompts popped up.

[Communication is being connected]

[Connection is being established]

[Accepting news]

"Hello?"

"Can this thing work?"

"Can anyone get it?"

Chang Xiuya was a little confused by the three consecutive questions, and there are two options below: [Who is talking? ] and [I received].

Chang Xiuya felt that these two sentences had similar meanings, and they should not affect the subsequent decision, so she clicked [I received it].

"Oh, thank goodness! It's great to be able to get in touch!"

"I've been waiting for hours!"

Another two options[Who are you? ] and [What happened?]

Chang Xiuya thought about it, and thought it would be better to ask the other party's identity first, so she clicked [Who are you].

After these two choices, Chang Xiuya already understood the difference between this game and other text adventure games.

The entire game of "Lifeline" does not have those narrations and background descriptions. Its entire game is a chat software, but the person chatting with you is not a real person, but a virtual character in the game.

This game makes the game interface into a chat software interface with a somewhat sci-fi style, just to create this sense of reality, including sending notification messages to players, and also to give players the illusion that someone is really talking to me say.

According to her feeling, Chang Xiuya started chatting with the astronaut named Taylor.

During the chat, Chang Xiuya learned that Taylor was originally an astronaut on a transport spacecraft, but ended up crashing on a certain satellite. However, Taylor is now in a state of being clueless. He was originally a student, and he was actually on board for an experiment, and he was unprepared for how to survive such an emergency.

However, Taylor seems to be quite optimistic. Under such circumstances, there is still leisure and elegance to play tricks...

Chang Xiuya was also amused by this remark.

"It seems that the ultimate task is to help the astronaut escape? It doesn't seem to be very difficult, it should be easier to complete than those out-of-the-box plots of palace fights..." Chang Xiuya thought.

"There is a white mountain near me, a few miles away. But this mountain... is a bit weird, it is symmetrical from left to right, and it doesn't feel like it was formed naturally."

"As for the crash point of the Varia, it seems to be closer to me than the mountain peak. What do you think I should do?"

There are two options below: [Go to the crash site] and [Go to the mountain].

Chang Xiuya soon realized that this should be a more critical plot choice. Because Taylor has hinted before that the image of this mountain is rather strange, and it is far away from him, so it is obvious that he should go to the crash point!

Chang Xiuya chose [Go to the crash point].

"Yeah, kind of makes sense, there might be survivors there..."

"Well, I'm headed south. I think it'll take at least an hour. I'll let you know when I get there."

After saying this sentence, the system prompts "Taylor is busy".

Chang Xiuya was taken aback, what do you mean

There was no option for the next step, and Taylor didn't speak any more. The game stopped here, and there was no prompt.

Chang Xiuya looked at what Taylor said earlier.

"Could it be that it really takes an hour to contact me?!"

Chang Xiuya was a little stunned. It was the first time she encountered this kind of text adventure game, and it made the player wait for an hour? !

There was no other way, Chang Xiuya could only do other things temporarily, she didn't dare to close the process, for fear that Taylor would not receive the message when she contacted her.
