Chapter 171 Try out the Conferred God! King of Terror!
"I-fuck-"
At this point, the trial version comes to an end.
But Xu Xiaolin got goosebumps all over his body!
Because this ending is so long-lasting that people can’t help but think about it!
first!
It’s the man on the motorcycle holding the letter paper!
There is no doubt that that is the protagonist of the main work!
Because Gu Sheng has already used his most exquisite lens language to show the answer——
When the player drives out of the heavy fog, the yellow painted [Silent Hill-Leave Here] sign is particularly eye-catching!
And when the player looks back in the direction the strange man left, he will see [Silent Hill - Enter here] on the other side of the sign!
One in and one out!
This is the intersection of two people who also want to find answers in Silent Hill.
But at the same time, this is also the intersection of two time and space!
Because it’s obvious!
The moment the two of them passed by each other at the road sign, the strange man's figure disappeared into the thick fog.
Based on everything I experienced in the demo version, it is not difficult to guess that the strange man must have entered a parallel world.
Who is he? Why did he come to Silent Hill? What kind of truth does he want to find? What kind of weird things will he experience?
Perhaps, the answers to all these will have to wait until the official release of Silent Hill.
In fact, it stands to reason!
A trial version, with the ending written here, is already very complete.
but!
Gu Sheng's ambition seems to go far beyond that!
At the very end, he actually used an email to plant a suspense Easter egg!
An email was sent to his phone from nowhere!
An unknown whistleblower seems to have the truth about an extremely large and horrifying conspiracy!
The investigation of the Silent Hill Haunted House case has come to an end, but as a righteous reporter, Miles’ investigation is far from over!
Gu Sheng seems to be intending to give Miles more meaning!
And Miles will also become a key!
A key that belongs exclusively to Gu Sheng and opens the horror game universe!
So cruel!!!
Trailer + easter egg!
Shocking!
Shocking!
Still fucking shocking!
Xu Xiaolin has never seen a preview demo that shocked him so much!
The level of astonishment is no less than the impact that the fall of Titan brought to him!
Xu Xiaolin writes hard and fast!
[There is no doubt! Gu Sheng’s game design concepts, especially his ability to shape “psychological horror”, are far beyond this era! 】
[His control of human nature, the player's thinking, the structure of the atmosphere, and the grasp of rhythm... are all extremely proficient, even reaching the pinnacle!]
[People concretize their fears, and he purifies and abstracts the concretized fears, and then implants them in the hearts of every player!]
[If I ask the author to describe this "Silent Hill PT"]
[Then the description I give is - great]
[Although it is only a trial version, this does not affect its landmark status in the history of horror game development! 】
[At the same time, I am also looking forward to the day when the main game is released!!!]
…
The next day!
Shen Miaomiao was sitting in her CEO's office, reading through the overwhelming comments on the Internet!
Silent Hill PT is popular!
Moreover, it is even more popular than before!
In just one day, it became the most watched game in the Neon Dongjin Video Game Festival!
The situation of competing against the Yakuza Cyclonus no longer exists.
Instead, PT came out on top!
After all, compared to the mediocre Yakuza Cyclonus, PT has the upper hand in both groundbreaking and content-based content!
Some people commented on the creation of "psychological horror":
[Sam fully understood that "human beings' fear comes from the unknown", and the scene of turning off the lights to kill is something I will never forget - LIM, a well-known game anchor on Twitch]
[With its powerful environment shaping and suggestive plot, PT has successfully implanted fear into the hearts of players - TeamLink, a well-known American game evaluation team]
[There is no doubt that Silent Hill PT will become a benchmark in history, a work that reaches the pinnacle of psychological horror! At least, that was the case before its release - the internationally renowned comprehensive game media "Player Online"]
【……】
Some people also analyzed the cryptic and suggestive content in the game:
[In fact, long before the truth was revealed, Sam had made a preview through Lisa's character image - she was wearing a red high-heeled shoe on her right foot and her right eye was gouged out]
[Red high-heeled shoes are items with strong sexual connotations, and in the Bible, the right eye also symbolizes the source of adultery: "If the right eye causes you to fall, then pluck out the right eye and throw it away."]
[But obviously, Lisa only has one high-heeled shoe on her foot, and combined with her right eye being gouged out, all signs actually indicate that she has broken free from the shackles]
[Perhaps the manager’s harassment was true, but Lisa never wavered]
[Similarly, at the end of the game, the incredibly difficult puzzle to solve also confirms this point]
[After our testing, if you want to successfully leave the room, you only need to say sentences with words such as "truth", "sorry", "I understand" and "sympathy"]
【……】
There are also many players discussing the trailers and easter eggs after the game ends——
[That motorcycle guy must be the protagonist of the main work!]
[Oh my god! Sam actually buried an Easter egg for Miles, a trial version protagonist!]
[I’m really looking forward to the official version coming online! This is simply the most top-notch horror game I’ve ever seen! No one!]
[Actually, I’m looking forward to Miles’ story in the future. This reporter is so legendary!]
[Update online! I hope Sam can release the official version as soon as possible and complete the follow-up story of Miles!]
[Trailer + Easter egg! This is really the boldest preview demo version I have ever seen!]
[I really look forward to the official version being launched soon...]
【……】
certainly!
It is also indispensable for the media from all walks of life to report and publicize it vigorously!
"A masterpiece of horror! Silent Hill PT has received critical acclaim!"
"PT makes a stunning debut on the first day! Save the horror game market!"
"The global first-day clearance rate is less than 1%! How terrifying is the psychological horror of PT?"
"PT beats the Jida! Discussion popularity reaches the top!"
"The fear is coming! Over 90% of Twitch anchors think Silent Hill PT is the scariest game ever!"
"PT Trial Conferred God! Sam the King of Terror!"
"..."
PT is popular.
It was so hot.
The top psychological horror design of "Not seeing a ghost is far scarier than seeing one" is undoubtedly a good lesson for the game industry in this world!
According to the statistics!
Just one day!
The login rate of "Silent Hill PT" in KMN-3 (Comella Motion Sense Module) reached an astonishing 38%!
In contrast, the login rate of "Yakuza Crazy" on KMN-3 is 14.21%!
actually!
The results of the first day of Yidao Kuangshou are already very good!
With Comella's attention and massive publicity support, the company and team originally expected the first-day login rate to be only about 10%.
And Ji Dao Kuang Biao has already exceeded the task.
but!
Never imagined.
Silent Hill PT, a game that was originally regarded as a rich variety of games, turned out to be the biggest dark horse that emerged halfway, successfully killing Yakuza Cyclonus and reaching the peak of popularity!
…
"It's just... outrageous!!!"
Sitting in the office, Shen Miaomiao looked at the overwhelming reports and data on the Internet, her face full of disbelief!
And just at this time!
I heard someone knocking gently on the office door.
After saying please come in, the "King of Terror" came to see her in person.
"Hey, hey, you came just in time,"
When Shen Miaomiao saw Gu Sheng coming, she quickly called him in:
"There are many things that I don't understand about my president, please come and clear them up for me!"
Gu Sheng originally wanted to see Xiao Nezha for other matters, but seeing her like this, he couldn't help but feel happy. Da Ma Jin Dao sat down on the sofa and stretched out his hand to indicate:
"Boss, please tell me! Your subordinates must tell you everything they know!"
Shen Miaomiao scratched her head: "First of all, let me confirm something. This PT... is a horror game, right?"
Gu Sheng nodded: "Yes."
Shen Miaomiao smacked her lips: "Theoretically speaking, horror games are a niche game type, right?"
Gu Sheng shrugged: "That's right."
"OK," Shen Miaomiao made a clear gesture and continued: "The shooting and racing of Ji Dao... are popular game types, right?"
"Hmm," Gu Sheng nodded: "It's a big hit, and it's undeniable that this game does a pretty good job in integration."
"Hey! Then the problem comes!"
Shen Miaomiao slapped her hands and frowned:
"You are an unpopular game type, but your login rate... is more than twice that of Yakuza Kuangbao?"
"And you said it yourself, the quality of their games is not bad!"
"What's more, as far as I know, the full name of PT is PlayableTeaser - 'interactive trailer',"
"Strictly speaking, it can't even be called a complete game, right?"
"But just such a demo version directly put you on the throne of "King of Horror Games"?"
"I even suspect that this is a marketing operation by Comella!"
"You...tsk..."
Speaking of this! Shen Miaomiao smacked her lips and looked suspiciously:
"No...did you give it to Moritani Tetsuya?"
Such harsh words made Gu Sheng suddenly excited: "Hey! What the hell are you talking about!"
Seeing Gu Sheng's glare, Shen Miaomiao realized that she had made a mistake and hurriedly stuck out her tongue:
"I'm just...a metaphor..."
"What the hell is such a metaphor?"
Gu Sheng rolled his eyes and then said seriously:
"The reputation PT has today is actually a bit beyond my expectation,"
“But although it’s unexpected, it’s also reasonable.”
"After all, both in terms of plot structure and scare arrangements, it is unique in today's horror game circle,"
"Although it is not the pioneer of psychological horror from scratch, it is the pinnacle of psychological horror,"
"So I think the title of the King of Terror is quite real... What is that look in your eyes?"
Not finished yet.
Gu Sheng saw little Nezha looking at him with a noncommittal expression.
It seems that he feels that he is selling melons to Wang Po and boasting about himself.
Gu Sheng was helpless:
"If you think I'm bragging, you can watch the clearance video or read the relevant reviews, otherwise..."
Speaking of which.
Gu Sheng rolled his eyes.
"We also have a Kemela KMN-3 somatosensory cabin in the rest area,"
Gu Sheng shrugged and stretched out his hand to signal:
"If you don't believe it, go and experience it yourself. Real knowledge comes from practice."
"Oh, okay, I'll try it later,"
Shen Miaomiao also had this intention. She wanted to see how scary this PT, which was known as the scariest game in history, was:
"If you want anything to do with me, just tell me. After you finish speaking, I will go and experience it, practice it and gain true knowledge, and see if this is joint marketing between you and Comella..."
"Need not,"
Unexpectedly, Gu Sheng leaned back on the sofa:
"You go ahead. It won't take long. I won't have time to wait until you're done playing."
Gu Sheng's words made Shen Miaomiao a little strange: "How long is your trial version?"
"If we follow the standard customs clearance process..."
Gu Sheng thought for a while:
"About half an hour."
But that's it.
Gu Sheng waved his hand again:
"You can play for less than half an hour,"
"If you don't get kicked out in three minutes, I'll lose."
Hey?!
Once you hear this!
Shen Miaomiao was a little unconvinced.
You know, although her courage is not the ultimate fearlessness of a steel tank, she is definitely not cowardly!
"Old Gutou, you look down on me now!"
Shen Miaomiao put her hands on her hips:
"When I lived by myself, I dared to watch horror movies by myself! Like the kind of tomb-robbery online movies, or the likes of Pen Immortal and Die Immortal!"
In response, Gu Sheng just smiled awkwardly and politely.
Because as far as he knew, the horror movies in this world... were quite difficult to describe.
Otherwise, the inspiration for horror games would not be so exhausted, and I would hold on to a JumpScare all day long and use it until I die.
So he just smiled and passed by what little Nezha said.
"Then...five minutes,"
Gu Sheng grinned and stretched out a slap:
"No more."
"Just...just two minutes added???"
Shen Miaomiao felt that Gu Sheng was deliberately insulting her:
"This is what you said, should we bet on something?"
Gu Sheng chuckled: "Lady First, you draw a path first."
"emmmmmmm..."
Shen Miaomiao thought for a while:
"Let's bet on hygiene for a week! Whoever loses will be responsible for cleaning the house for a week! How about it?"
On weekdays, according to the division of labor and cooperation between the two, cleaning the home is a one-to-one day.
Seeing that someone actually wanted to take over the cleaning work, Gu Sheng naturally wanted it:
"It's not challenging for more than a week, maybe a month, including doing laundry, do you dare?"
"What don't I dare to do? What don't I dare to do!"
Shen Miaomiao couldn't bear the excitement and stood up on the spot with her hands on her hips:
"Even if I was scared to death in the somatosensory cabin today, I still had to survive five minutes!"
"Hmph!"
Speaking of this, Shen Miaomiao's little white teeth flashed:
"Just wait and wash my socks!"
Say it!
Shen Miaomiao opened the door and walked out in a high-spirited manner. She strode to the leisure area and lay down in the somatosensory cabin with a fearless look on her face!
Gu Sheng, on the other hand, came to the claw machine and prepared to grab a bag of potato chips for himself.
But he just grabbed the potato chips and didn't wait for him to tear open the package.
Just listen to the cries of little Nezha, accompanied by the sound of the somatosensory cabin reopening:
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I don't want to play anymore."
Chi la.
Gu Sheng slowly tore open the packaging bag and strolled to the side of the somatosensory cabin. While admiring the little Nezha who was crying in the rain and wiping his tears, he put the potato chips into his mouth:
"Let's play a little longer, it's less than five minutes."
"I won't play hiss anymore... No... Wuwuwu, I won't play anymore..."
"No, it's only two minutes away. We haven't reached the scariest part yet."
"Ah...? Then...then I won't play anymore..."
"Hey, what's there to be afraid of? We're going to meet Lisa soon, aren't you looking forward to it? Come on, let me help you continue the game. We will never admit defeat."
Talking!
Gu Sheng wanted to imprison little Nezha in a cowardly manner.
Little Nezha cried even harder!!!
"Ahhhhhhhh-I won't play anymore! I said I won't play anymore! I definitely won't play anymore wuwuwuwuwu-!"
"I lost, wuwuwu... you hiss... you, the King of Terror, have truly deserved your title..."
"I'm doing hygiene... Why don't I wash your socks... Wuwuwuwuwu..."
"What kind of bad game is this..."
"It's so scary, woo woo woo... Can you give me those potato chips of yours... I can't even take one bite..."
