Chapter 98 The dark fairy tale that detonated the whole Internet!Love is outside the body, the devil is in the heart!
"Fuck! You goddamn game designer..." Wang Chi was on the verge of roaring.
But when he thought of the neighbor coming over to remind him just now, don't make any noise.
He hastily covered his mouth with his hand.
He still still remembers the time when he first met the little frog.
A piece of paper is taped to the wall.
"Do you like frogs?"
In the human impression, frogs are beneficial animals.
In addition, Wang Chi walked all the way, except for that strange black cat.
What are the living creatures encountered—
The invisible cook.
The ghost of hanging himself.
A large spider that preys on butterflies.
Meeting a normal living creature like a frog, Wang Chi felt inexplicably kind.
Especially in many levels, frogs are of great help to him.
As a result, the painting style has changed now.
It is required to feed the frog to the big snake to pass this level.
Wang Chi's mentality has collapsed!
While cursing, Wang Chi couldn't help but marvel.
This guy Chu Jun has precise control over human nature!
In the lonely and desperate escape, you suddenly met a partner who helped you.
After helping the player several times in a row, the player will subconsciously include it as one of his own.
In the next level, Chu Jun, the perverted game designer, asked the players to cruelly feed their partners who helped them to the snakes.
In exchange for his own lifeline.
This is undoubtedly a torment and torture to the conscience.
But what else can I do...
There is no other choice.
Wang Chi bit the bullet and chose the option of [Feed the Snake].
A scene that made him break his defense even more appeared.
"The little frog looked at you pitifully, shook his head, very reluctantly."
【Insist on feeding the little frog to the snake】
【do nothing】
"Hiss!!" Wang Chi felt his conscience being repeatedly hit by a sledgehammer.
After tens of seconds of silence, he made a difficult decision.
Keep feeding the snakes!
"It's not that my brother doesn't want to help you, and my brother has no other choice..." The strong sense of substitution in the game made Wang Chi feel like a sinner at this time.
He shoved the frog to the snake.
He rushed out of the room without looking back.
The moment he left the room, he suddenly saw the dead soul of the little frog behind him.
"Ok?"
Things turned around?
He just opened the door, and turned back in an instant.
As a result, he saw a picture scroll of hell.
The scene in front of him was clearly a wriggling stomach!
The floor of the entire room disappeared, and it was as if Xiaowei was standing in the belly of a snake...
Scared, Wang Chi turned his head and ran away.
Without turning her head, she manipulated Xiaowei, and rushed to the fourth floor in one go.
Because of the guilt in his heart, when he went up the stairs, he saw a girl with purple hair and red clothes.
Like a ghost, drifting past him.
Wang Chi, who was almost scared, exclaimed again.
Fortunately hold back.
"Why is Designer Chu so outrageous..." Wang Chi recalled the multi-layered detail control just now.
this person!
It simply killed the player's psychological reaction!
When he was making games, he seemed to know that "the player couldn't help but want to look back after seeing the little frog's soul because of guilt."
exist?
Remove the monitor?
Of course, Wang Chi didn't know at this time.
What's next for him.
Compared with the content shown at the end, all the torture and suffering he suffered before seem to be nothing worth mentioning.
The fourth layer is still collecting clues to decrypt.
A piano that can play independently, and a portrait of Mona Lisa who hunts him down all over the street.
And the choice of puzzles and answers.
The work "The Witch's House" has put a lot of effort into the gameplay.
Various puzzles and mini-games interspersed.
Letting Wang Chi play in one breath until now does not feel boring.
In addition, he collected clues of "The Witch's Diary" throughout the entire game.
It is mentioned in the diary that the witch's parents were killed by the witch herself, but no reason was given.
This made Wang Chi think of the report he saw in the study on the second floor.
A certain house caught fire, and both Mr. XX and his wife died, but the cause of death was a knife wound.
The only daughter mysteriously disappeared.
"It seems that this Ai Lian is the witch herself."
"Why did she kill her parents? And how did she become a witch."
"What's the relationship with the protagonist Xiaowei?"
Multiple layers of mystery are still in front of Wang Chi.
This game has been played until now, and the gameplay is indeed undeniable.
But the content was too dark, which made Wang Chi feel a little uncomfortable.
But when he thought that if he could manipulate Xiaowei to escape from this house, at least he would have saved an innocent girl.
Wang Chi also had the motivation to move on.
Along the way, he collected many diaries many times.
In the diary, the witch mentioned that there were many guests in this room before.
But without exception, they were all eaten by this house.
However, it is still not enough.
"What's not enough?" Wang Chi wondered.
But the diary did not give an answer.
Continue to turn pages in the diary.
The witch's record of her mood is also revealed in front of her.
"I don't want to be sick
i want to go out and play
I want someone to love me. "
……
"Later, a girl came to play here.
That girl is so cute.
Golden hair braided. "
"Wait, wait!" Wang Chi's pupils shrank suddenly.
Isn't this characteristic description the protagonist Xiaowei that he is manipulating?
He couldn't wait to continue turning the page.
"I don't want to fuck her.
because she wants to save me
keep me away from pain
So, I made her my 'friend'"
……
"A disease is about to take my life
So
i want to get her body
I want to get her body and live on
That's okay, right?
we are friends
She's definitely willing to donate her body
Because we are friends……"
The last few lines were marked with bright red blood, and the background music stopped abruptly.
"...That's why you still come to play with me today
right
Xiaowei? "
"Hiss!" Wang Chi took a sharp breath.
Good guy, case solved!
He himself said, why did the protagonist Xiaowei appear at the door of the witch Ailian's house.
Obviously the two have nothing to do with each other.
Now it seems.
An innocent girl is tricked by a witch and becomes a friend.
Often come to visit the sick witch.
Little did they know, the witch had long planned to get Xiaowei's healthy body.
At this moment, a purple-haired red-clothed girl with only half of her body appeared on the screen.
She was crawling towards Xiao Wei who was reading the Witch's Diary bit by bit.
Her lower body was empty as if it had been cut off in the middle.
Blood kept gushing out from her waist, dyeing the path she crawled all the way red.
Coupled with the sudden change to the gloomy background sound effect.
It made Wang Chi's back feel cold.
"Run, run, run... hurry!"
The protagonist Xiaowei and the witch Ailian are caught in a lengthy chase.
Wang Chi, who was already a little scared, now had even weaker hands.
Controlling Xiao Wei to run was not so proficient, and she wandered around in the whole witch's mansion.
From time to time, I will step on the trap of slowing down.
Once, twice, three times by the witch...
Keep catching up.
Then strangle!
The initial Witch Kill was just a grimace without eyes.
The frightened Wang Chi could hardly restrain himself from screaming.
However, after many deaths, he has become numb to this grimace.
The thoughts in my mind became more and more firm.
Just get out of here!
Just get to that place!
Finally, after repeated deaths, Wang Chi's escape route has gradually become proficient.
After another violent death.
He touched the door leaving the dreadful mansion.
The moment the door was opened.
The whole world seemed to slow down.
Dots of soft light poured in from outside the door.
The light symbolizing hope and survival enveloped Xiaowei's body.
"Huh... Finally, it's over." Wang Chi heaved a sigh of relief, and wiped away the sweat stains that had already covered his forehead.
At the end of the game, there is another plot deduction.
Xiao Wei escaped from the mansion.
But the witch still refused to give up.
Chased out with the last bit of strength.
And the father who wrote a note to Xiaowei at first, telling her to come back early.
Because the night was dark, but I haven't seen my daughter return yet.
So he went to the depths of the forest alone, and happened to meet Xiaowei who had escaped from the Witch's House.
And the half-length witch chasing after Xiaowei.
Witch: "...yeah... let's go..."
Witch: "... oh... oh... uh..."
Is it because the magic power is passing away so quickly that you can't even make a sound when you are dying?Wang Chi's thoughts have not yet settled down.
The father raised the shotgun in his hand and shouted, "Damn monster! Stay away from my daughter!"
Aim at the purple-haired red-clothed witch in front of her.
boom! !
A shot went off.
The witch's head was broken in half.
I am afraid that the witch will not die.
Father made up the knife again.
The double-barreled large-caliber shotgun burst into flames, and the witch's head was completely torn apart like a watermelon, with sticky red and white matter splashing everywhere.
Completely lost the movement.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaowei, the monster is dead, let's go home."
Father took Xiaowei's hand, and the two left the forest.
With END appearing on the screen
This is the end of the entire game.
Wang Chi looked at the time.
It's eight o'clock in the evening.
He stretched himself out, took a long sip of water, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"it is finally over."
"But how to say..."
"More than a good work, but less than a good work?" Wang Chi gave his own evaluation in his heart.
God's work is definitely not achieved.
Great works are only close.
The overall feeling of playing this game is quite good.
Changing the definition of horror games can only be scary, interspersed with a lot of plot.
Let players have a good sense of substitution in the playing experience.
Moreover, designer Chu's design in terms of game details can be said to be dedicated.
The placement of each clue and mystery is just right, allowing players to experience it all the way, and constantly gain a sense of accomplishment in deciphering.
It will not feel boring.
But there are also shortcomings.
First of all, the overall plot is still a little empty.
It's just that the 'revenge' element in classic horror movies has been changed to 'swapping bodies'
In order to survive, the witch tricked one guest after another into her home.
Then do everything possible to keep them and devour their healthy bodies.
In fact, it is similar to revenge in essence, but it is expressed in a different way.
"Also, the protagonist Xiaowei's illustrations are also lacking. Did the author miss it?" Wang Chi muttered to himself.
During the game, because he sometimes needs to use the props obtained in the middle, he will open the protagonist's panel.
The illustration of the protagonist Xiaowei will also be presented in front of you.
Although the painting style is fine.
But from the beginning to the end, Xiaowei's expression was like that of a girl with three nos.
Face expressionless, in the face of any emergencies, always remain calm.
and.
The author doesn't think so.
A 13-year-old girl went to cut off the bear's hands and feet.
Feed the little frog to the big snake.
Wait a series of actions, is it too dark?
Generally speaking, the protagonist represents the side of justice, and the player is also the protagonist.
Making such a move will make players feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
Although it is said that this is to pass the test, there is nothing to do.
But why do you have to let the protagonist do these things?
Wouldn't it be better to put it another way?
"But no matter what, this work, as Junyue's first female work in the horror category, is quite good."
"Because there is no similar production experience before, it is normal for some small details to be neglected."
"Of course, if these flaws can be corrected, this work can be regarded as a masterpiece."
Wang Chi thought about it, and then wrote an email.
The letter affirmed this work, and then pointed out its shortcomings.
Sent to Junyue's opinion/bug collection mailbox.
After finishing all this, Wang Chi opened the details page of Witch's House.
Sales have gone from [-] copies two hours ago.
It soared all the way, climbing to nearly [-] copies!
The No.1 "Slaughter City" only sold 8000 copies within two hours.
Plus the previous 3w copies.
A total of 3.8w copies were sold.
Judging from this posture.
It's only a matter of time before The Witch's House surpasses Slaughter City.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow.
Wang Chi glanced at the comment section again.
However, what makes him a little strange is that.
The style of painting in the comment area was a little different from what he thought.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
"My mind is broken!!!"
"Brother Chu Zi is really a bit outrageous. I am afraid that there is no other person in the world who can complete this plot except him! To play the true ending, I will directly perform a cardiopulmonary arrest!"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo It is definitely a work that subverts the three views!"
"Brothers, of course we can't just play such a fun game by ourselves. I recommend recommending it to good friends around you, preferably to your beloved goddess!"
"Thank you for the suggestion! I pushed it to my dad to play, and he said he would never hit me again/狗头/狗头"
……
"This..." Wang Chi fell into confusion.
this comment section.
Why didn't he understand it?
Isn't the ending that Xiaowei escaped from the Witch's House smoothly, and then returned home safely with her father?
It's not too amazing, but it's so-so.
Why is the voice in the comment area completely inconsistent with me?
Are you playing a pirated version?
Finally, he saw an ending strategy post in the comment area.
"Look here for my friends who have just cleared the customs for a week. The Witch's House has three endings. One false ending and two true endings. The triggering conditions for the true ending-in the room where the bear doll was originally hidden, the unlocked cabinet, the cabinet Prompt 'the room can be opened after recovery', in the chasing battle with the witch, first open this cabinet, get the things, and then escape from the witch's house, it will trigger the true ending. Another triggering condition of the true ending - the game Standing still for an hour at the beginning will also trigger the real ending (don’t ask me how I know, I was arrested to do my homework just now, but I hung up and came back to see that the game was cleared, I was so confused )”
"Damn it? This game actually has three endings?" Wang Chi was stunned.
The real ending is not that Xiaowei and her father returned home?
What would it be?
He quickly opened the Witch's House again.
A two-week purpose completion experience was conducted.
Since you already know the clues to solve the puzzle.
The plot progressed rapidly along the way, and it took only ten minutes to get through the game.
This time, according to the guide, he and the witch began to circle around the huge mansion.
After throwing off the witch, he rushed straight to the room where the bear doll was hidden at the beginning.
The cabinet that was not opened at the beginning did say 'open it after the room is restored'
But during the several hours of playing, Wang Chi had already forgotten about it.
Bounce towards the small cabinet and click to interact.
【You got 'Ailian's Knife'】
"I know! Did you kill the witch with the witch's knife?"
"But this, is it any different from father killing the witch with a shotgun?"
Wang Chi, who didn't know why, didn't have time to think more.
The witch has already caught up to her.
He hastily manipulated Xiao Wei under a series of "skilled and heart-wrenching" operations.
Finally, I rushed out of the Witch's House.
Wang Chi observed carefully, and found that it was no different from the ending he got through for the first time.
Until, he went all the way down.
Go to the beginning of the game.
"There has been a change!" He whispered, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
Before this, no game had multiple endings!
And he experienced it in the Witch's House!
This is undoubtedly another layer of pioneering game history progress!
"Junyue Company... How many groundbreaking historical breakthroughs are going to be made... Does Chu Jun want to directly pull the game industry to the height of mainstream culture by himself..." Wang Chi's voice trembled a little.
Gathering his mind, he looked at the screen again.
In the place where Xiaowei first woke up.
Another note.
Pick it up and have a look.
[First half of father's letter]
"Dear Viola:
sorry i shouldn't have yelled at you yesterday and i apologize
A long time ago, there was a legend
In that wood lived a witch who would abduct lost children
That friend of yours, her house is very close to the woods, so I was very worried about you
Is your friend named Allen?go to her..."
The letters came to an abrupt end.
But if you contact the letter you got at the beginning and piece it together.
The context is directly aligned!
"...It's okay to play, just don't go too far in the forest, go home early——Papa."
"Even this can be connected in series?? Are you a detail fanatic?" Wang Chi's eyes widened.
Playing this game so far, what shocked Wang Chi the most is not the interesting setting, but the innovation of multiple endings.
This guy Chu Jun... can connect almost all the details in the game...
Let everything presented in the game be useless!
After accepting the letter, Wang Chi manipulated Xiao Wei, facing down again.
There is the direction of the exit.
It is the place to step out of the forest.
There, Xiaowei will meet the witch who was hunted down.
And the hand-bladed witch, the father who protects his daughter's safety.
Just as Wang Chi manipulated Xiaowei all the way down.
After crossing the roses blocking the way.
He saw a scene that he will never forget in his life.
……
"Huh...huh..." Jiang Rou, who led the last 'surviving' tourist from the haunted house and escaped from the witch's pursuit, gasped and put her hands on her hips.
Following her was the little girl from the young couple she met at the beginning.
The two supported each other, out of breath.
After a long delay.
Jiang Rou straightened her tired and bent waist.
"Should it be over?" She said to herself, stretched out her slender fingers to push the baseball cap up slightly, and looked forward.
Then, it was as if the pause button had been pressed.
Jiang Rou was frozen in place.
A soft wind blew through her hair.
In front of the lawn covered in this courtyard.
She let the messy hair sway and dance on her delicate cheeks, and she refused to reach out to pull the thin hair towards the ear.
Her pupils are dilated little by little.
……
Not just Wang Chi and Jiang Rou.
All players who have reached this key plot point during the same time period.
Almost without exception, the pupils of the eyes trembled violently, and the expression on the face froze.
Watching in disbelief as the true ending of The Witch's House unfolds.
……
It is the same as the first version played by Wang Chi.
It's still the part where the witch with only half of her body left after chasing her out.
But this time.
The witch's voice became clearer, and Wang Chi could see her movements more clearly.
Witch: "Don't...don't go..."
The witch dragged her broken body, and stretched out her trembling hands towards Xiao Wei in front of her.
The expression on his face was almost pleading.
In Wang Chi's dumbfounded expression.
He has been manipulating the protagonist Xiao Wei.
At this time, it was not under Wang Chi's control.
She stepped forward suddenly and kicked the witch on the head.
Kicked the witch and staggered backwards.
Viola: "Endless."
"How long do you want to chase? You are going to die soon."
Witch: "Ah... oh... oh... ah"
Viola: "Huh? You said to return it to you? Oh, there is no door, this body is so healthy, there will be no pain anywhere."
"Besides, didn't you give me your body voluntarily? Why should I give it back to you?"
Viola squatted down, lowered her head expressionlessly, and looked at the witch lingering on the ground.
Finally a sympathetic smile appeared.
She spoke slowly.
"right
Xiaowei? "
"Wait...wait...wait...wait...the plot unfolds...the plot unfolds!!!" Wang Chi, who stared at the plot with the true ending, felt struck by lightning!
His whole body trembled almost uncontrollably.
What did she mean by Xiaowei?
Is it...
Could it be that……
This blond girl controlled by himself.
Is it the witch herself? ? ?
And when the game starts.
The witch Ailian has already switched bodies with Xiaowei? ? ?
I have been controlling this role from the very beginning.
The character who helps her go through hardships and obstacles, and wants to escape from birth...
Is it the witch herself? ! !
A large number of details in the previous game process were all told to Wang Chi.
The witch is sick.
A healthy body is required.
Right now, the innocent blonde girl Xiaowei was deceived by the witch and became her friend.
It also became the best candidate for her to change her body.
And Wang Chi had always naively thought that he was helping Xiaowei.
Help her escape from the clutches of the Witch.
But now is the moment when the truth comes.
Wang Chi found out.
I have experienced several hours of playing.
Escape from the trap every time.
Thrilling every time.
Every time I racked my brains to find clues.
It's all about helping the witch who has changed her body to escape the house!
They are helping the evildoers!
The witch has no magic power after being replaced by her body.
And the real heroine, Xiao Wei, inherited the last weak power of the witch.
She tried every means and set up many difficulties, just trying to get back her own body.
But as a player...but again and again...dodged?
This game...
I lied to myself from the start!
The main character manipulated by himself wanted to escape from this house.
It's just because I'm worried that the body I snatched will be taken back again! !
Wang Chi was already so shocked that he took a breath and didn't even know what to say.
But the story of the game is not over yet.
The witch Ailian who has taken Xiao Wei's body.
There was a rare faint smile on the corner of his usually expressionless mouth.
However, for players who devote themselves wholeheartedly.
That smile is like a devil.
"Did you sympathize with me at the time? A cripple who was so ill that he couldn't even get out of bed."
"So, I used magic to switch bodies with you."
"Huh? You said it's only for one day?...I've never said that before."
"You almost trapped me just now, I really didn't expect... But, what's the use?"
"That house is mine after all, how could it kill me?"
"The house has been helping me, it wants me to escape."
"You're not dead yet, but you're really tenacious. Even before I exchanged bodies with you, I had already cut out my eyes, cut off my lower body, and drank the medicine that burned my throat to minimize my own magic power. , just to prevent you from stopping me from leaving after you got my body. Unexpectedly, you still keep blocking me so stubbornly."
"Ah, you don't want to die because you don't trust your father?"
"Xiaowei, I know everything about you and your father. Father and daughter depend on each other for life."
"Those memories are all left in this body. He is a good man, a hunter, right?"
"He seemed to have noticed something, and wrote you that letter, telling you to go home quickly... It's really good for you."
"I guess, the last worry that you are still struggling with is only worrying about Dad, right?"
"It's okay, don't worry. His daughter 'Xiaowei' will take good care of him in the future. I will enjoy Dad's love for you."
"You can rest assured..."
Suddenly, the conversation on the screen stopped abruptly.
Because, there was another voice behind him.
Xiao Wei's father: "Viola?"
When you see this character play.
Wang Chi trembled all over.
He remembered the ending of the first edition!
Father picked up the shotgun and killed the witch!
But he didn't know it at the time.
But now Wang Chi knew all the truth.
It was as if his heart was tightly grasped by a big hand.
"Don't...don't shoot...this is your daughter!" He even growled in an extremely substitutive manner.
But the progress of the game is completely out of his control.
on the screen.
A witch with only half her body left.
At the end of his life, he exhausted his last strength and crawled forward bit by bit.
Crawled towards his father's direction.
Use the throat that has been burned by the potion.
Crying hoarsely and hoarsely.
"Pa... afraid... Bapa..."
"Save... help... me..."
What awaited her was not salvation.
It was a black shotgun muzzle.
"You monster! Don't even think about hurting my daughter!"
Bang! ! !
Bullets burning with fireworks burst out of the shotgun!
Smash the head of the half-length girl.
Another shot!
Let her head completely split like a watermelon.
This bullet not only killed the real Xiao Wei in front of her.
It also penetrated Wang Chi's soul.
His heart is like a dam that is so fragile that it will collapse as soon as it is flushed.
And shotgun bullets are like scourges.
Roaring, charging.
Break down all the defenses in Wang Chi's heart!
Wang Chi seemed to have lost all his strength and slumped towards the chair.
With a dull expression, he stared at the last picture on the screen.
The witch who had already occupied Xiaowei's body held Xiaowei's father's wrist affectionately.
The two of them drifted away from the dilapidated corpse.
END floated out slowly.
But Wang Chi could no longer say a word.
He has never played any games...
Can cause such a big impact on him!Subvert his three views!
Think back carefully.
Those problems that I was still criticizing.
For example, Xiao Wei has always looked like a facial paralysis.
A 13-year-old girl is alone in such a terrifying mansion.
Shouldn't it be scary?
At first, he thought that some of the details of Mr. Chu were not in place.
But think about it now...
Because, this itself is a witch.
To return to the magic house is to return to one's own home.
Why be afraid?
That expressionless face is what she really looks like!
There is also the frog he complained about earlier, cutting off the bear's limbs and feeding it to the big snake.
These should not be done by a young girl who looks harmless to humans and animals.
At that time, Wang Chi still felt that it was against peace.
But now I know that the one who did these things was the queen of the witch herself.
Almost all of these details, which he considers to be bugs, are self-defeating.
No bugs!
This is the setting that the witch itself should have!
Cruel, killing innocent people indiscriminately!In order to seek their own interests, they will do whatever it takes.
Also, when I was in the study on the second floor.
That joke that seems to have nothing to do with the whole game.
The hunter misunderstood his puppy and drew his gun to kill it without hesitation.
The meaning was unclear at first.
But after knowing the truth, the player will suddenly realize.
This joke has already heralded the end!
All of it!
Everything!
Everything Wang Chi can think of, and all the details in the game, are connected together! !
"Hiss..." Wang Chi couldn't help but gasped.
"Designer Chu..."
He can't even describe the outrageousness of this game designer in words.
He's so subtle it's like a computer.
Integrate all the necessary details into the game!
This game, to the end.
Undoubtedly very dark, even extremely depressing.
The players helped the evildoer to do evil, and helped the witch escape from birth, leaving the naive Xiao Wei alone, but died tragically at the hands of her closest relatives.
When learning the truth, the player's heart will be hit like never before!
But isn't this the way a game is successfully produced?
And this kind of success is not like that of the Mechanic God, who forcefully feeds some settings to the players to forcibly complement some imperfect settings.
Game designers have spent a lot of effort and laid out a lot of details in front.
Let the player play to the final ending.
Apart from an exclamation, I couldn't find any flaws!
It, flawless!
Beautiful like a work of art!
This is a game... no matter how you play it.
Whether it is treating the protagonist as Xiaowei to escape.
Or treat her as a witch and escape.
Can justify the game story!
This is the most shocking part of this game to Wang Chi!
After slowly calming down.
Wang Chi sat up straight.
The evaluation of "Slaughter City" that was almost completed was deleted verbatim.
Knocked out another line of headings.
["The Witch's House"!The most artistic and soul-stirring masterpiece I have ever seen! "】
After a pause.
He frowned and deleted the word masterpiece.
Type two more words.
God made.
----
The game of "The Witch's House", in just three days.
The reaction immediately exploded!
It is almost no surprise that it topped the hot search list of major social media.
And firmly ranked first in the list!
The degree of topic even broke through the tens of millions level several times!
Within that day, nearly 1000 million related news popped up from major media platforms.
Players are exposed to this alternative game for the first time.
No matter the layers of clues in the game are mixed, one by one to decipher the setting of passing the level.
Or a concept innovation with multiple endings.
And the whole work from the beginning to the end, the details are displayed tightly and seamlessly.
All let the players marvel at it for a long time.
Of course, the most talked about by the players.
It's still the end of this game, the ending of the dark fairy-tale plot.
Players who have played it seriously, without exception, think that this game is the most depressing game they have ever come into contact with in the field of games!
Boldly cites the villain as the protagonist, allowing players to experience the game.
This is an unprecedented creation in the history of games!
Before it even started, the tragedy was set.
The players' play is just to re-enact the hidden tragedy.
Ai Lian has also become the most influential game character in the domestic game character list!
Of course, she made it to the list abruptly by overwhelming her votes.
It is almost unprecedented in Blue Star's game industry to be ranked first by stepping on tickets.
And in the following period of time.
Chu Jun, the game designer of "The Witch's House", personally posted a post on Weibo.
A prequel novel about "The Witch's House", Eileen's Diary. (I won’t start writing Ai Lian’s diary. If you are interested, you can search it yourself. It is a prequel to The Witch’s House, not a game, but a novel, and there is also a comic adaptation. The author’s writing skills are quite delicate.)
The content of the novel is very short, but it describes in detail how Ailian became a witch step by step.
Every choice she makes is almost a helpless move, and she has the exact reason for having to make such a choice.
Abandoned by his parents, dragging his mutilated, rotting, disease-ridden body.
Encountered a demon that turned into a black cat.
A deal was made with the black cat that cost the soul.
After becoming a witch, she is still pursuing love, carefully maintaining the coexistence with humans.
But after being hurt again and again by human beings, it slowly disappeared.
Witches can never be killed by any substantial damage.
They just die of despair.
Ellen, who is not accepted by humans, is in deteriorating health.
And Viola, who exchanged bodies with Ailian, also died of complete despair in her heart because her father pointed the gun at her.
"When humans become demons, their positions change.
What they do wrong in the eyes of humans is just the most correct behavior for survival in their eyes. "
"Love is outside the body, but the devil is in the heart."
As soon as "Ai Lian's Diary" came out, the reputation of the witch Ai Lian began to reverse rapidly.
The character who was criticized the most by the players has gradually gained the support of a group of people.
With the release of "Eileen's Diary".
The topicality of The Witch's House has once again reached a new high!
Three characters in the game.
They all have their own reasons why they can't give up.
Eileen in order to survive.
Viola wanted to regain her body.
Father to protect his daughter.
Standing their ground, everyone seems to have done nothing wrong.
But it turned out to be such a tragedy.
Thought provoking.
It also made the majority of netizens call the game "The Witch's House" no longer just a game.
It faintly has something close to artistic products such as novels and movies.
soul, and depth.
This is unprecedented in the game history of Blue Star.
The game industry is recognized by some netizens for the first time, and the works derived from it can be linked to art.
Of course, this remark also aroused criticism from many supporters of mainstream art and culture.
I think that games are just games, just a niche culture, please players to enclose themselves and not rise to the height of art.
But whether it is support or criticism.
The topic is so hot that many mainstream media have started to report on it. The size of this "Witch's House" is less than a few hundred megabytes
Even the media directly used it as their front page topic.
Even the official media such as "Huaxia Culture Daily".
They have all changed the mainstream of singing, dancing, film and television entertainment that previously occupied the front page.
For the first time ever, the front page was dedicated to the game.
One titled "The Witch's House!"The most artistic and soul-stirring work I have ever seen! "The special report has entered the eyes of the majority of netizens.
In the special topic, the editor comprehensively analyzed the creativity, artistry, playability and subversion of the game "The Witch's House".
He also said that among the games he has seen, it is the first game that achieves compatibility and complementarity between the game and the plot, and the final plot is even higher than the game's masterpiece!
And it's a pity.
As a stand-alone game, The Witch's House is so popular.
The sales volume has only reached 50 copies, which can barely stop the upward trend.
The reason lies in its content.
Although the content is concise and brilliant, it is too short.
Many netizens have already seen the full content of this game in the videos of various anchors and UP.
Its plot has also been dug out of nowhere.
After you have fully understood a game, its desire to buy will naturally be greatly reduced.
Therefore, among the 50 sales, a considerable part of the players is the act of replenishing tickets.
Learn about this game from other sources first, and marvel at its content.
Finally decided to make up the fare on the train.
But even so.
It also severely crushed "Slaughter City", which ranked second that month, and almost opened up a sales gap of more than three times.
Gong Bin, the general manager of Shiyou Company, was dumbfounded when he learned about this.
Especially when he learned that the haunted house that Mr. Chu built for Disney became the facility with the largest number of visitors in the entire park for nearly a month.
There are also offline experience halls of the type of escape room in the city.
The Disney Huaxia branch even issued a statement under the official blog, claiming that Junyue Game Company will be Disney's most dedicated and best partner!The Disney Huaxia branch and even the headquarters will treat all the staff of Junyue Company with the highest standards in the future!When experiencing all Disney brand items, you will enjoy a 5% discount.For cooperation on game customization, we will also give priority to cooperation with Junyue Company with the most favorable treatment!
Gong Bin sat on the chair dumbfounded.
I thought that my bad move could at least slow down the development of Junyue Company...
Unexpectedly, Junyue Company not only completed this difficult task...
And so well done.
If the former Junyue was just a dark horse that he didn't pay much attention to, he might overturn at any time.
So the current Junyue, after this battle.
Already faintly like a huge monster that has been sleeping for a long time, it is slowly straightening its body.
Gong Bin had to start paying attention.
"In the future, if Junyue Company has any news or actions to develop new games, please notify me as soon as possible." After Gong Bin pondered for a while, he said to his secretary seriously: "Also, notify the game directors of each branch. We will try our best to Avoid the release time of Junyue games."
"Ah..." The secretary was startled.
In her impression, Shiyou Company could place so much importance on it that it even needed to stagger the game's release time to avoid its rivals.
In the past, there were only a few domestic game giants such as Penguin, Wangnan, Phoenix, and Tianyun.
What size are these companies?
There are thousands of employees under its banner!
But Junyue Company, judging from the company's current records, has not yet completed the expansion of 500 employees...
"President Gong...is this going to happen?" Before the secretary could finish speaking, Gong Bin shook his head and interrupted.
"What you see is just a company with less than 500 employees."
"And what I see is an ambition to elevate the game to mainstream culture."
"What Mr. Chu wants to do is not a game."
Gong Bin paused for a moment, and looked out of the huge French window.
In the most prosperous area of Jiangzhong City, countless high-rise buildings towered, piercing the sky, and the composite tempered glass reflected sparkling light like the surface of a lake.
Withdrawing his gaze, Gong Bin was a bit dignified.
"He wants to create an empire, a gaming empire."
The author's words are limited to 500 words and cannot fit.
I'm here to say a few words
The game Witch's House.
There may not be so many readers who know it, after all, it is a game ten years ago.
And its game classification is relatively small.
But there is no doubt that it is one of the four masterpieces of the horror solution category. This has been affirmed by countless players at home and abroad, and it is not my boast.
The other three works are Crazy Father, IB, and Dream Diary.
If I were to sort it.
It should be, The Witch's House, IB, Crazy Father, Dream Diary. (The gameplay of Dream Diary is relatively average, and it has mental pollution. The whole process is very depressing, which does not meet my personal taste. Of course, it only represents me personally, not to say that this game is not good.)
This kind of work, apart from the game itself, has its own soul, reflecting the thoughts and artistic conception, which can make players feel like tasting a good wine, with a long aftertaste.
It is a unique existence among many game types, but now it is gradually declining as many games become more and more refined.
The following is the author's words
top pick up
There may be some readers who don't know much about horror games, and don't know the weight of these four masterpieces.
A few years ago, station B introduced a series called "Angel of Killing", and the sales volume of the comics reached 180 million copies (87w in the first week of the Naruto ending volume)
But before that, it itself was a horror game, and then it was changed to manga, and then changed to anime
Even so, it has not reached the height of the four masterpieces
When I first watched Lan Shao's live "The Witch's House", the shock it brought to me was really straight to the soul
This is the first time I've seen it, can games do this?
The character our players have been controlling is not the protagonist, but the villain?
Perhaps now, some novels and some games with endless routines have gradually had this kind of plot.
But ten years ago, the shock of this plot was incomparable to me
When I was writing "The Witch's House", there were quite a lot of unsubscribes, and nearly 1/3 of the follow-up subscriptions. It may be because its reputation is not big enough now. There is nothing wrong with it.
But I still write it out, it can be regarded as a kind of tribute, paying tribute to the touch and shock it brought to me back then
There are not many masterpieces in my mind. Among the hundreds of games I have played, there are only about six or seven games that can be called masterpieces.
"The Witch's House" is one of them, and among the many masterpieces I think, the least popular
In the future, I will also write other masterpieces that I think into the book to see if it is the same as the best game in everyone's mind
Thank you for your subscription and monthly pass!
See you tomorrow!
(End of this chapter)
"Fuck! You goddamn game designer..." Wang Chi was on the verge of roaring.
But when he thought of the neighbor coming over to remind him just now, don't make any noise.
He hastily covered his mouth with his hand.
He still still remembers the time when he first met the little frog.
A piece of paper is taped to the wall.
"Do you like frogs?"
In the human impression, frogs are beneficial animals.
In addition, Wang Chi walked all the way, except for that strange black cat.
What are the living creatures encountered—
The invisible cook.
The ghost of hanging himself.
A large spider that preys on butterflies.
Meeting a normal living creature like a frog, Wang Chi felt inexplicably kind.
Especially in many levels, frogs are of great help to him.
As a result, the painting style has changed now.
It is required to feed the frog to the big snake to pass this level.
Wang Chi's mentality has collapsed!
While cursing, Wang Chi couldn't help but marvel.
This guy Chu Jun has precise control over human nature!
In the lonely and desperate escape, you suddenly met a partner who helped you.
After helping the player several times in a row, the player will subconsciously include it as one of his own.
In the next level, Chu Jun, the perverted game designer, asked the players to cruelly feed their partners who helped them to the snakes.
In exchange for his own lifeline.
This is undoubtedly a torment and torture to the conscience.
But what else can I do...
There is no other choice.
Wang Chi bit the bullet and chose the option of [Feed the Snake].
A scene that made him break his defense even more appeared.
"The little frog looked at you pitifully, shook his head, very reluctantly."
【Insist on feeding the little frog to the snake】
【do nothing】
"Hiss!!" Wang Chi felt his conscience being repeatedly hit by a sledgehammer.
After tens of seconds of silence, he made a difficult decision.
Keep feeding the snakes!
"It's not that my brother doesn't want to help you, and my brother has no other choice..." The strong sense of substitution in the game made Wang Chi feel like a sinner at this time.
He shoved the frog to the snake.
He rushed out of the room without looking back.
The moment he left the room, he suddenly saw the dead soul of the little frog behind him.
"Ok?"
Things turned around?
He just opened the door, and turned back in an instant.
As a result, he saw a picture scroll of hell.
The scene in front of him was clearly a wriggling stomach!
The floor of the entire room disappeared, and it was as if Xiaowei was standing in the belly of a snake...
Scared, Wang Chi turned his head and ran away.
Without turning her head, she manipulated Xiaowei, and rushed to the fourth floor in one go.
Because of the guilt in his heart, when he went up the stairs, he saw a girl with purple hair and red clothes.
Like a ghost, drifting past him.
Wang Chi, who was almost scared, exclaimed again.
Fortunately hold back.
"Why is Designer Chu so outrageous..." Wang Chi recalled the multi-layered detail control just now.
this person!
It simply killed the player's psychological reaction!
When he was making games, he seemed to know that "the player couldn't help but want to look back after seeing the little frog's soul because of guilt."
exist?
Remove the monitor?
Of course, Wang Chi didn't know at this time.
What's next for him.
Compared with the content shown at the end, all the torture and suffering he suffered before seem to be nothing worth mentioning.
The fourth layer is still collecting clues to decrypt.
A piano that can play independently, and a portrait of Mona Lisa who hunts him down all over the street.
And the choice of puzzles and answers.
The work "The Witch's House" has put a lot of effort into the gameplay.
Various puzzles and mini-games interspersed.
Letting Wang Chi play in one breath until now does not feel boring.
In addition, he collected clues of "The Witch's Diary" throughout the entire game.
It is mentioned in the diary that the witch's parents were killed by the witch herself, but no reason was given.
This made Wang Chi think of the report he saw in the study on the second floor.
A certain house caught fire, and both Mr. XX and his wife died, but the cause of death was a knife wound.
The only daughter mysteriously disappeared.
"It seems that this Ai Lian is the witch herself."
"Why did she kill her parents? And how did she become a witch."
"What's the relationship with the protagonist Xiaowei?"
Multiple layers of mystery are still in front of Wang Chi.
This game has been played until now, and the gameplay is indeed undeniable.
But the content was too dark, which made Wang Chi feel a little uncomfortable.
But when he thought that if he could manipulate Xiaowei to escape from this house, at least he would have saved an innocent girl.
Wang Chi also had the motivation to move on.
Along the way, he collected many diaries many times.
In the diary, the witch mentioned that there were many guests in this room before.
But without exception, they were all eaten by this house.
However, it is still not enough.
"What's not enough?" Wang Chi wondered.
But the diary did not give an answer.
Continue to turn pages in the diary.
The witch's record of her mood is also revealed in front of her.
"I don't want to be sick
i want to go out and play
I want someone to love me. "
……
"Later, a girl came to play here.
That girl is so cute.
Golden hair braided. "
"Wait, wait!" Wang Chi's pupils shrank suddenly.
Isn't this characteristic description the protagonist Xiaowei that he is manipulating?
He couldn't wait to continue turning the page.
"I don't want to fuck her.
because she wants to save me
keep me away from pain
So, I made her my 'friend'"
……
"A disease is about to take my life
So
i want to get her body
I want to get her body and live on
That's okay, right?
we are friends
She's definitely willing to donate her body
Because we are friends……"
The last few lines were marked with bright red blood, and the background music stopped abruptly.
"...That's why you still come to play with me today
right
Xiaowei? "
"Hiss!" Wang Chi took a sharp breath.
Good guy, case solved!
He himself said, why did the protagonist Xiaowei appear at the door of the witch Ailian's house.
Obviously the two have nothing to do with each other.
Now it seems.
An innocent girl is tricked by a witch and becomes a friend.
Often come to visit the sick witch.
Little did they know, the witch had long planned to get Xiaowei's healthy body.
At this moment, a purple-haired red-clothed girl with only half of her body appeared on the screen.
She was crawling towards Xiao Wei who was reading the Witch's Diary bit by bit.
Her lower body was empty as if it had been cut off in the middle.
Blood kept gushing out from her waist, dyeing the path she crawled all the way red.
Coupled with the sudden change to the gloomy background sound effect.
It made Wang Chi's back feel cold.
"Run, run, run... hurry!"
The protagonist Xiaowei and the witch Ailian are caught in a lengthy chase.
Wang Chi, who was already a little scared, now had even weaker hands.
Controlling Xiao Wei to run was not so proficient, and she wandered around in the whole witch's mansion.
From time to time, I will step on the trap of slowing down.
Once, twice, three times by the witch...
Keep catching up.
Then strangle!
The initial Witch Kill was just a grimace without eyes.
The frightened Wang Chi could hardly restrain himself from screaming.
However, after many deaths, he has become numb to this grimace.
The thoughts in my mind became more and more firm.
Just get out of here!
Just get to that place!
Finally, after repeated deaths, Wang Chi's escape route has gradually become proficient.
After another violent death.
He touched the door leaving the dreadful mansion.
The moment the door was opened.
The whole world seemed to slow down.
Dots of soft light poured in from outside the door.
The light symbolizing hope and survival enveloped Xiaowei's body.
"Huh... Finally, it's over." Wang Chi heaved a sigh of relief, and wiped away the sweat stains that had already covered his forehead.
At the end of the game, there is another plot deduction.
Xiao Wei escaped from the mansion.
But the witch still refused to give up.
Chased out with the last bit of strength.
And the father who wrote a note to Xiaowei at first, telling her to come back early.
Because the night was dark, but I haven't seen my daughter return yet.
So he went to the depths of the forest alone, and happened to meet Xiaowei who had escaped from the Witch's House.
And the half-length witch chasing after Xiaowei.
Witch: "...yeah... let's go..."
Witch: "... oh... oh... uh..."
Is it because the magic power is passing away so quickly that you can't even make a sound when you are dying?Wang Chi's thoughts have not yet settled down.
The father raised the shotgun in his hand and shouted, "Damn monster! Stay away from my daughter!"
Aim at the purple-haired red-clothed witch in front of her.
boom! !
A shot went off.
The witch's head was broken in half.
I am afraid that the witch will not die.
Father made up the knife again.
The double-barreled large-caliber shotgun burst into flames, and the witch's head was completely torn apart like a watermelon, with sticky red and white matter splashing everywhere.
Completely lost the movement.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaowei, the monster is dead, let's go home."
Father took Xiaowei's hand, and the two left the forest.
With END appearing on the screen
This is the end of the entire game.
Wang Chi looked at the time.
It's eight o'clock in the evening.
He stretched himself out, took a long sip of water, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"it is finally over."
"But how to say..."
"More than a good work, but less than a good work?" Wang Chi gave his own evaluation in his heart.
God's work is definitely not achieved.
Great works are only close.
The overall feeling of playing this game is quite good.
Changing the definition of horror games can only be scary, interspersed with a lot of plot.
Let players have a good sense of substitution in the playing experience.
Moreover, designer Chu's design in terms of game details can be said to be dedicated.
The placement of each clue and mystery is just right, allowing players to experience it all the way, and constantly gain a sense of accomplishment in deciphering.
It will not feel boring.
But there are also shortcomings.
First of all, the overall plot is still a little empty.
It's just that the 'revenge' element in classic horror movies has been changed to 'swapping bodies'
In order to survive, the witch tricked one guest after another into her home.
Then do everything possible to keep them and devour their healthy bodies.
In fact, it is similar to revenge in essence, but it is expressed in a different way.
"Also, the protagonist Xiaowei's illustrations are also lacking. Did the author miss it?" Wang Chi muttered to himself.
During the game, because he sometimes needs to use the props obtained in the middle, he will open the protagonist's panel.
The illustration of the protagonist Xiaowei will also be presented in front of you.
Although the painting style is fine.
But from the beginning to the end, Xiaowei's expression was like that of a girl with three nos.
Face expressionless, in the face of any emergencies, always remain calm.
and.
The author doesn't think so.
A 13-year-old girl went to cut off the bear's hands and feet.
Feed the little frog to the big snake.
Wait a series of actions, is it too dark?
Generally speaking, the protagonist represents the side of justice, and the player is also the protagonist.
Making such a move will make players feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
Although it is said that this is to pass the test, there is nothing to do.
But why do you have to let the protagonist do these things?
Wouldn't it be better to put it another way?
"But no matter what, this work, as Junyue's first female work in the horror category, is quite good."
"Because there is no similar production experience before, it is normal for some small details to be neglected."
"Of course, if these flaws can be corrected, this work can be regarded as a masterpiece."
Wang Chi thought about it, and then wrote an email.
The letter affirmed this work, and then pointed out its shortcomings.
Sent to Junyue's opinion/bug collection mailbox.
After finishing all this, Wang Chi opened the details page of Witch's House.
Sales have gone from [-] copies two hours ago.
It soared all the way, climbing to nearly [-] copies!
The No.1 "Slaughter City" only sold 8000 copies within two hours.
Plus the previous 3w copies.
A total of 3.8w copies were sold.
Judging from this posture.
It's only a matter of time before The Witch's House surpasses Slaughter City.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow.
Wang Chi glanced at the comment section again.
However, what makes him a little strange is that.
The style of painting in the comment area was a little different from what he thought.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
"My mind is broken!!!"
"Brother Chu Zi is really a bit outrageous. I am afraid that there is no other person in the world who can complete this plot except him! To play the true ending, I will directly perform a cardiopulmonary arrest!"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo It is definitely a work that subverts the three views!"
"Brothers, of course we can't just play such a fun game by ourselves. I recommend recommending it to good friends around you, preferably to your beloved goddess!"
"Thank you for the suggestion! I pushed it to my dad to play, and he said he would never hit me again/狗头/狗头"
……
"This..." Wang Chi fell into confusion.
this comment section.
Why didn't he understand it?
Isn't the ending that Xiaowei escaped from the Witch's House smoothly, and then returned home safely with her father?
It's not too amazing, but it's so-so.
Why is the voice in the comment area completely inconsistent with me?
Are you playing a pirated version?
Finally, he saw an ending strategy post in the comment area.
"Look here for my friends who have just cleared the customs for a week. The Witch's House has three endings. One false ending and two true endings. The triggering conditions for the true ending-in the room where the bear doll was originally hidden, the unlocked cabinet, the cabinet Prompt 'the room can be opened after recovery', in the chasing battle with the witch, first open this cabinet, get the things, and then escape from the witch's house, it will trigger the true ending. Another triggering condition of the true ending - the game Standing still for an hour at the beginning will also trigger the real ending (don’t ask me how I know, I was arrested to do my homework just now, but I hung up and came back to see that the game was cleared, I was so confused )”
"Damn it? This game actually has three endings?" Wang Chi was stunned.
The real ending is not that Xiaowei and her father returned home?
What would it be?
He quickly opened the Witch's House again.
A two-week purpose completion experience was conducted.
Since you already know the clues to solve the puzzle.
The plot progressed rapidly along the way, and it took only ten minutes to get through the game.
This time, according to the guide, he and the witch began to circle around the huge mansion.
After throwing off the witch, he rushed straight to the room where the bear doll was hidden at the beginning.
The cabinet that was not opened at the beginning did say 'open it after the room is restored'
But during the several hours of playing, Wang Chi had already forgotten about it.
Bounce towards the small cabinet and click to interact.
【You got 'Ailian's Knife'】
"I know! Did you kill the witch with the witch's knife?"
"But this, is it any different from father killing the witch with a shotgun?"
Wang Chi, who didn't know why, didn't have time to think more.
The witch has already caught up to her.
He hastily manipulated Xiao Wei under a series of "skilled and heart-wrenching" operations.
Finally, I rushed out of the Witch's House.
Wang Chi observed carefully, and found that it was no different from the ending he got through for the first time.
Until, he went all the way down.
Go to the beginning of the game.
"There has been a change!" He whispered, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
Before this, no game had multiple endings!
And he experienced it in the Witch's House!
This is undoubtedly another layer of pioneering game history progress!
"Junyue Company... How many groundbreaking historical breakthroughs are going to be made... Does Chu Jun want to directly pull the game industry to the height of mainstream culture by himself..." Wang Chi's voice trembled a little.
Gathering his mind, he looked at the screen again.
In the place where Xiaowei first woke up.
Another note.
Pick it up and have a look.
[First half of father's letter]
"Dear Viola:
sorry i shouldn't have yelled at you yesterday and i apologize
A long time ago, there was a legend
In that wood lived a witch who would abduct lost children
That friend of yours, her house is very close to the woods, so I was very worried about you
Is your friend named Allen?go to her..."
The letters came to an abrupt end.
But if you contact the letter you got at the beginning and piece it together.
The context is directly aligned!
"...It's okay to play, just don't go too far in the forest, go home early——Papa."
"Even this can be connected in series?? Are you a detail fanatic?" Wang Chi's eyes widened.
Playing this game so far, what shocked Wang Chi the most is not the interesting setting, but the innovation of multiple endings.
This guy Chu Jun... can connect almost all the details in the game...
Let everything presented in the game be useless!
After accepting the letter, Wang Chi manipulated Xiao Wei, facing down again.
There is the direction of the exit.
It is the place to step out of the forest.
There, Xiaowei will meet the witch who was hunted down.
And the hand-bladed witch, the father who protects his daughter's safety.
Just as Wang Chi manipulated Xiaowei all the way down.
After crossing the roses blocking the way.
He saw a scene that he will never forget in his life.
……
"Huh...huh..." Jiang Rou, who led the last 'surviving' tourist from the haunted house and escaped from the witch's pursuit, gasped and put her hands on her hips.
Following her was the little girl from the young couple she met at the beginning.
The two supported each other, out of breath.
After a long delay.
Jiang Rou straightened her tired and bent waist.
"Should it be over?" She said to herself, stretched out her slender fingers to push the baseball cap up slightly, and looked forward.
Then, it was as if the pause button had been pressed.
Jiang Rou was frozen in place.
A soft wind blew through her hair.
In front of the lawn covered in this courtyard.
She let the messy hair sway and dance on her delicate cheeks, and she refused to reach out to pull the thin hair towards the ear.
Her pupils are dilated little by little.
……
Not just Wang Chi and Jiang Rou.
All players who have reached this key plot point during the same time period.
Almost without exception, the pupils of the eyes trembled violently, and the expression on the face froze.
Watching in disbelief as the true ending of The Witch's House unfolds.
……
It is the same as the first version played by Wang Chi.
It's still the part where the witch with only half of her body left after chasing her out.
But this time.
The witch's voice became clearer, and Wang Chi could see her movements more clearly.
Witch: "Don't...don't go..."
The witch dragged her broken body, and stretched out her trembling hands towards Xiao Wei in front of her.
The expression on his face was almost pleading.
In Wang Chi's dumbfounded expression.
He has been manipulating the protagonist Xiao Wei.
At this time, it was not under Wang Chi's control.
She stepped forward suddenly and kicked the witch on the head.
Kicked the witch and staggered backwards.
Viola: "Endless."
"How long do you want to chase? You are going to die soon."
Witch: "Ah... oh... oh... ah"
Viola: "Huh? You said to return it to you? Oh, there is no door, this body is so healthy, there will be no pain anywhere."
"Besides, didn't you give me your body voluntarily? Why should I give it back to you?"
Viola squatted down, lowered her head expressionlessly, and looked at the witch lingering on the ground.
Finally a sympathetic smile appeared.
She spoke slowly.
"right
Xiaowei? "
"Wait...wait...wait...wait...the plot unfolds...the plot unfolds!!!" Wang Chi, who stared at the plot with the true ending, felt struck by lightning!
His whole body trembled almost uncontrollably.
What did she mean by Xiaowei?
Is it...
Could it be that……
This blond girl controlled by himself.
Is it the witch herself? ? ?
And when the game starts.
The witch Ailian has already switched bodies with Xiaowei? ? ?
I have been controlling this role from the very beginning.
The character who helps her go through hardships and obstacles, and wants to escape from birth...
Is it the witch herself? ! !
A large number of details in the previous game process were all told to Wang Chi.
The witch is sick.
A healthy body is required.
Right now, the innocent blonde girl Xiaowei was deceived by the witch and became her friend.
It also became the best candidate for her to change her body.
And Wang Chi had always naively thought that he was helping Xiaowei.
Help her escape from the clutches of the Witch.
But now is the moment when the truth comes.
Wang Chi found out.
I have experienced several hours of playing.
Escape from the trap every time.
Thrilling every time.
Every time I racked my brains to find clues.
It's all about helping the witch who has changed her body to escape the house!
They are helping the evildoers!
The witch has no magic power after being replaced by her body.
And the real heroine, Xiao Wei, inherited the last weak power of the witch.
She tried every means and set up many difficulties, just trying to get back her own body.
But as a player...but again and again...dodged?
This game...
I lied to myself from the start!
The main character manipulated by himself wanted to escape from this house.
It's just because I'm worried that the body I snatched will be taken back again! !
Wang Chi was already so shocked that he took a breath and didn't even know what to say.
But the story of the game is not over yet.
The witch Ailian who has taken Xiao Wei's body.
There was a rare faint smile on the corner of his usually expressionless mouth.
However, for players who devote themselves wholeheartedly.
That smile is like a devil.
"Did you sympathize with me at the time? A cripple who was so ill that he couldn't even get out of bed."
"So, I used magic to switch bodies with you."
"Huh? You said it's only for one day?...I've never said that before."
"You almost trapped me just now, I really didn't expect... But, what's the use?"
"That house is mine after all, how could it kill me?"
"The house has been helping me, it wants me to escape."
"You're not dead yet, but you're really tenacious. Even before I exchanged bodies with you, I had already cut out my eyes, cut off my lower body, and drank the medicine that burned my throat to minimize my own magic power. , just to prevent you from stopping me from leaving after you got my body. Unexpectedly, you still keep blocking me so stubbornly."
"Ah, you don't want to die because you don't trust your father?"
"Xiaowei, I know everything about you and your father. Father and daughter depend on each other for life."
"Those memories are all left in this body. He is a good man, a hunter, right?"
"He seemed to have noticed something, and wrote you that letter, telling you to go home quickly... It's really good for you."
"I guess, the last worry that you are still struggling with is only worrying about Dad, right?"
"It's okay, don't worry. His daughter 'Xiaowei' will take good care of him in the future. I will enjoy Dad's love for you."
"You can rest assured..."
Suddenly, the conversation on the screen stopped abruptly.
Because, there was another voice behind him.
Xiao Wei's father: "Viola?"
When you see this character play.
Wang Chi trembled all over.
He remembered the ending of the first edition!
Father picked up the shotgun and killed the witch!
But he didn't know it at the time.
But now Wang Chi knew all the truth.
It was as if his heart was tightly grasped by a big hand.
"Don't...don't shoot...this is your daughter!" He even growled in an extremely substitutive manner.
But the progress of the game is completely out of his control.
on the screen.
A witch with only half her body left.
At the end of his life, he exhausted his last strength and crawled forward bit by bit.
Crawled towards his father's direction.
Use the throat that has been burned by the potion.
Crying hoarsely and hoarsely.
"Pa... afraid... Bapa..."
"Save... help... me..."
What awaited her was not salvation.
It was a black shotgun muzzle.
"You monster! Don't even think about hurting my daughter!"
Bang! ! !
Bullets burning with fireworks burst out of the shotgun!
Smash the head of the half-length girl.
Another shot!
Let her head completely split like a watermelon.
This bullet not only killed the real Xiao Wei in front of her.
It also penetrated Wang Chi's soul.
His heart is like a dam that is so fragile that it will collapse as soon as it is flushed.
And shotgun bullets are like scourges.
Roaring, charging.
Break down all the defenses in Wang Chi's heart!
Wang Chi seemed to have lost all his strength and slumped towards the chair.
With a dull expression, he stared at the last picture on the screen.
The witch who had already occupied Xiaowei's body held Xiaowei's father's wrist affectionately.
The two of them drifted away from the dilapidated corpse.
END floated out slowly.
But Wang Chi could no longer say a word.
He has never played any games...
Can cause such a big impact on him!Subvert his three views!
Think back carefully.
Those problems that I was still criticizing.
For example, Xiao Wei has always looked like a facial paralysis.
A 13-year-old girl is alone in such a terrifying mansion.
Shouldn't it be scary?
At first, he thought that some of the details of Mr. Chu were not in place.
But think about it now...
Because, this itself is a witch.
To return to the magic house is to return to one's own home.
Why be afraid?
That expressionless face is what she really looks like!
There is also the frog he complained about earlier, cutting off the bear's limbs and feeding it to the big snake.
These should not be done by a young girl who looks harmless to humans and animals.
At that time, Wang Chi still felt that it was against peace.
But now I know that the one who did these things was the queen of the witch herself.
Almost all of these details, which he considers to be bugs, are self-defeating.
No bugs!
This is the setting that the witch itself should have!
Cruel, killing innocent people indiscriminately!In order to seek their own interests, they will do whatever it takes.
Also, when I was in the study on the second floor.
That joke that seems to have nothing to do with the whole game.
The hunter misunderstood his puppy and drew his gun to kill it without hesitation.
The meaning was unclear at first.
But after knowing the truth, the player will suddenly realize.
This joke has already heralded the end!
All of it!
Everything!
Everything Wang Chi can think of, and all the details in the game, are connected together! !
"Hiss..." Wang Chi couldn't help but gasped.
"Designer Chu..."
He can't even describe the outrageousness of this game designer in words.
He's so subtle it's like a computer.
Integrate all the necessary details into the game!
This game, to the end.
Undoubtedly very dark, even extremely depressing.
The players helped the evildoer to do evil, and helped the witch escape from birth, leaving the naive Xiao Wei alone, but died tragically at the hands of her closest relatives.
When learning the truth, the player's heart will be hit like never before!
But isn't this the way a game is successfully produced?
And this kind of success is not like that of the Mechanic God, who forcefully feeds some settings to the players to forcibly complement some imperfect settings.
Game designers have spent a lot of effort and laid out a lot of details in front.
Let the player play to the final ending.
Apart from an exclamation, I couldn't find any flaws!
It, flawless!
Beautiful like a work of art!
This is a game... no matter how you play it.
Whether it is treating the protagonist as Xiaowei to escape.
Or treat her as a witch and escape.
Can justify the game story!
This is the most shocking part of this game to Wang Chi!
After slowly calming down.
Wang Chi sat up straight.
The evaluation of "Slaughter City" that was almost completed was deleted verbatim.
Knocked out another line of headings.
["The Witch's House"!The most artistic and soul-stirring masterpiece I have ever seen! "】
After a pause.
He frowned and deleted the word masterpiece.
Type two more words.
God made.
----
The game of "The Witch's House", in just three days.
The reaction immediately exploded!
It is almost no surprise that it topped the hot search list of major social media.
And firmly ranked first in the list!
The degree of topic even broke through the tens of millions level several times!
Within that day, nearly 1000 million related news popped up from major media platforms.
Players are exposed to this alternative game for the first time.
No matter the layers of clues in the game are mixed, one by one to decipher the setting of passing the level.
Or a concept innovation with multiple endings.
And the whole work from the beginning to the end, the details are displayed tightly and seamlessly.
All let the players marvel at it for a long time.
Of course, the most talked about by the players.
It's still the end of this game, the ending of the dark fairy-tale plot.
Players who have played it seriously, without exception, think that this game is the most depressing game they have ever come into contact with in the field of games!
Boldly cites the villain as the protagonist, allowing players to experience the game.
This is an unprecedented creation in the history of games!
Before it even started, the tragedy was set.
The players' play is just to re-enact the hidden tragedy.
Ai Lian has also become the most influential game character in the domestic game character list!
Of course, she made it to the list abruptly by overwhelming her votes.
It is almost unprecedented in Blue Star's game industry to be ranked first by stepping on tickets.
And in the following period of time.
Chu Jun, the game designer of "The Witch's House", personally posted a post on Weibo.
A prequel novel about "The Witch's House", Eileen's Diary. (I won’t start writing Ai Lian’s diary. If you are interested, you can search it yourself. It is a prequel to The Witch’s House, not a game, but a novel, and there is also a comic adaptation. The author’s writing skills are quite delicate.)
The content of the novel is very short, but it describes in detail how Ailian became a witch step by step.
Every choice she makes is almost a helpless move, and she has the exact reason for having to make such a choice.
Abandoned by his parents, dragging his mutilated, rotting, disease-ridden body.
Encountered a demon that turned into a black cat.
A deal was made with the black cat that cost the soul.
After becoming a witch, she is still pursuing love, carefully maintaining the coexistence with humans.
But after being hurt again and again by human beings, it slowly disappeared.
Witches can never be killed by any substantial damage.
They just die of despair.
Ellen, who is not accepted by humans, is in deteriorating health.
And Viola, who exchanged bodies with Ailian, also died of complete despair in her heart because her father pointed the gun at her.
"When humans become demons, their positions change.
What they do wrong in the eyes of humans is just the most correct behavior for survival in their eyes. "
"Love is outside the body, but the devil is in the heart."
As soon as "Ai Lian's Diary" came out, the reputation of the witch Ai Lian began to reverse rapidly.
The character who was criticized the most by the players has gradually gained the support of a group of people.
With the release of "Eileen's Diary".
The topicality of The Witch's House has once again reached a new high!
Three characters in the game.
They all have their own reasons why they can't give up.
Eileen in order to survive.
Viola wanted to regain her body.
Father to protect his daughter.
Standing their ground, everyone seems to have done nothing wrong.
But it turned out to be such a tragedy.
Thought provoking.
It also made the majority of netizens call the game "The Witch's House" no longer just a game.
It faintly has something close to artistic products such as novels and movies.
soul, and depth.
This is unprecedented in the game history of Blue Star.
The game industry is recognized by some netizens for the first time, and the works derived from it can be linked to art.
Of course, this remark also aroused criticism from many supporters of mainstream art and culture.
I think that games are just games, just a niche culture, please players to enclose themselves and not rise to the height of art.
But whether it is support or criticism.
The topic is so hot that many mainstream media have started to report on it. The size of this "Witch's House" is less than a few hundred megabytes
Even the media directly used it as their front page topic.
Even the official media such as "Huaxia Culture Daily".
They have all changed the mainstream of singing, dancing, film and television entertainment that previously occupied the front page.
For the first time ever, the front page was dedicated to the game.
One titled "The Witch's House!"The most artistic and soul-stirring work I have ever seen! "The special report has entered the eyes of the majority of netizens.
In the special topic, the editor comprehensively analyzed the creativity, artistry, playability and subversion of the game "The Witch's House".
He also said that among the games he has seen, it is the first game that achieves compatibility and complementarity between the game and the plot, and the final plot is even higher than the game's masterpiece!
And it's a pity.
As a stand-alone game, The Witch's House is so popular.
The sales volume has only reached 50 copies, which can barely stop the upward trend.
The reason lies in its content.
Although the content is concise and brilliant, it is too short.
Many netizens have already seen the full content of this game in the videos of various anchors and UP.
Its plot has also been dug out of nowhere.
After you have fully understood a game, its desire to buy will naturally be greatly reduced.
Therefore, among the 50 sales, a considerable part of the players is the act of replenishing tickets.
Learn about this game from other sources first, and marvel at its content.
Finally decided to make up the fare on the train.
But even so.
It also severely crushed "Slaughter City", which ranked second that month, and almost opened up a sales gap of more than three times.
Gong Bin, the general manager of Shiyou Company, was dumbfounded when he learned about this.
Especially when he learned that the haunted house that Mr. Chu built for Disney became the facility with the largest number of visitors in the entire park for nearly a month.
There are also offline experience halls of the type of escape room in the city.
The Disney Huaxia branch even issued a statement under the official blog, claiming that Junyue Game Company will be Disney's most dedicated and best partner!The Disney Huaxia branch and even the headquarters will treat all the staff of Junyue Company with the highest standards in the future!When experiencing all Disney brand items, you will enjoy a 5% discount.For cooperation on game customization, we will also give priority to cooperation with Junyue Company with the most favorable treatment!
Gong Bin sat on the chair dumbfounded.
I thought that my bad move could at least slow down the development of Junyue Company...
Unexpectedly, Junyue Company not only completed this difficult task...
And so well done.
If the former Junyue was just a dark horse that he didn't pay much attention to, he might overturn at any time.
So the current Junyue, after this battle.
Already faintly like a huge monster that has been sleeping for a long time, it is slowly straightening its body.
Gong Bin had to start paying attention.
"In the future, if Junyue Company has any news or actions to develop new games, please notify me as soon as possible." After Gong Bin pondered for a while, he said to his secretary seriously: "Also, notify the game directors of each branch. We will try our best to Avoid the release time of Junyue games."
"Ah..." The secretary was startled.
In her impression, Shiyou Company could place so much importance on it that it even needed to stagger the game's release time to avoid its rivals.
In the past, there were only a few domestic game giants such as Penguin, Wangnan, Phoenix, and Tianyun.
What size are these companies?
There are thousands of employees under its banner!
But Junyue Company, judging from the company's current records, has not yet completed the expansion of 500 employees...
"President Gong...is this going to happen?" Before the secretary could finish speaking, Gong Bin shook his head and interrupted.
"What you see is just a company with less than 500 employees."
"And what I see is an ambition to elevate the game to mainstream culture."
"What Mr. Chu wants to do is not a game."
Gong Bin paused for a moment, and looked out of the huge French window.
In the most prosperous area of Jiangzhong City, countless high-rise buildings towered, piercing the sky, and the composite tempered glass reflected sparkling light like the surface of a lake.
Withdrawing his gaze, Gong Bin was a bit dignified.
"He wants to create an empire, a gaming empire."
The author's words are limited to 500 words and cannot fit.
I'm here to say a few words
The game Witch's House.
There may not be so many readers who know it, after all, it is a game ten years ago.
And its game classification is relatively small.
But there is no doubt that it is one of the four masterpieces of the horror solution category. This has been affirmed by countless players at home and abroad, and it is not my boast.
The other three works are Crazy Father, IB, and Dream Diary.
If I were to sort it.
It should be, The Witch's House, IB, Crazy Father, Dream Diary. (The gameplay of Dream Diary is relatively average, and it has mental pollution. The whole process is very depressing, which does not meet my personal taste. Of course, it only represents me personally, not to say that this game is not good.)
This kind of work, apart from the game itself, has its own soul, reflecting the thoughts and artistic conception, which can make players feel like tasting a good wine, with a long aftertaste.
It is a unique existence among many game types, but now it is gradually declining as many games become more and more refined.
The following is the author's words
top pick up
There may be some readers who don't know much about horror games, and don't know the weight of these four masterpieces.
A few years ago, station B introduced a series called "Angel of Killing", and the sales volume of the comics reached 180 million copies (87w in the first week of the Naruto ending volume)
But before that, it itself was a horror game, and then it was changed to manga, and then changed to anime
Even so, it has not reached the height of the four masterpieces
When I first watched Lan Shao's live "The Witch's House", the shock it brought to me was really straight to the soul
This is the first time I've seen it, can games do this?
The character our players have been controlling is not the protagonist, but the villain?
Perhaps now, some novels and some games with endless routines have gradually had this kind of plot.
But ten years ago, the shock of this plot was incomparable to me
When I was writing "The Witch's House", there were quite a lot of unsubscribes, and nearly 1/3 of the follow-up subscriptions. It may be because its reputation is not big enough now. There is nothing wrong with it.
But I still write it out, it can be regarded as a kind of tribute, paying tribute to the touch and shock it brought to me back then
There are not many masterpieces in my mind. Among the hundreds of games I have played, there are only about six or seven games that can be called masterpieces.
"The Witch's House" is one of them, and among the many masterpieces I think, the least popular
In the future, I will also write other masterpieces that I think into the book to see if it is the same as the best game in everyone's mind
Thank you for your subscription and monthly pass!
See you tomorrow!
