I Make Games To Scare Crying Players

  Chapter 3 Demo

  Zai is always the UP master of the barrage network.

   With more than 900,000 fans, he has become famous day by day by making complaints about garbage games.

  His video style is full of wit and humor, and his speaking tone is also very funny, so he is widely loved by netizens.

   But he is very worried now, because he hasn't updated the video for almost half a month.

   Fans are urging him in private messages.

   But he is also very melancholy

  No other, because there is no material.

  He searched the game platform for a whole afternoon, but he couldn't find a suitable garbage game. Instead, he made himself exhausted and had a headache.

   Simply open up, lie on the sofa and browse the barrage net to relax.

   As he spoke, he picked up his mobile phone, fell on the beanbag sofa, and opened the Danmaku.com.

  As a result, the smart push on the homepage directly pushed a video in front of him, attracting his attention.

  【Personal development! Real machine demonstration of the domestic horror game "Dark Forest", with a trial demo]

   "Domestic horror game? Hehe, it's basically a boring horror game, right? These days, whoever dares to make a horror game will go bankrupt!"

   Mr. Zai went to trial without hesitation. Before watching the video, he already felt that "Dark Forest" had no future.

   Based on his insights, in the current game industry.

  Personal development is a dead end.

  Horror game, dead end.

  The combination of the two, ten deaths and no life.

  Good guy, is this Chinese developer so hardheaded?

  He vaguely remembered that the grave of the last small company that made independent horror games was already three feet high.

   Completely became a 'legend' in the game industry.

   And that horror game became an 'orphan' for extremely boring reasons.

  So, for Mr. Zai, this so-called personally developed game video was clicked purely for fun.

   "Huh? God's down view?"

  The video on the screen is playing, above, is a protagonist with a pitchfork in his hand, running in the forest.

  Because of the bird's-eye view, the view of the entire map is extremely clear.

   "Well, as far as personal development is concerned, it's pretty good."

   The first impression given to Mr. Zai was not bad, which gave him the desire to continue watching.

   Moreover, he also wants to know where the horror lies in this so-called horror game.

   After 4 minutes and 22 seconds, the video finishes playing.

   Mr. Zai climbed up from the lazy sofa seriously, opened the computer version of Danmaku.com, found this video from the watch history, then clicked on the profile, and copied the cloud disk link.

start download!

  At this time, Mr. Zai took advantage of the downloading time to watch the demonstration of the actual machine again, and the more he watched, the more surprised he became.

   Is this really a personal development?

  It’s a bit awesome

   Judging from the video, the quality seems to be pretty good.

   I just don’t know what it would be like to experience it for myself.

   Don't let me down, old man!

  The cloud disk made a beep, indicating that the game has been downloaded.

  Because it is just a trial demo, the volume is not large, and his home network speed is very fast, so the download is very fast.

  He couldn't wait to unzip it and found the startup program.

   Without further ado, double-click to open.

  Suddenly, the screen went black.

   Immediately afterwards, low-pitched music played slowly, and a simple game menu interface appeared in front of him.

   This is a gloomy forest, surrounded by dead trees, and the distance is hazy, revealing mystery.

   In the middle is a tree trunk, and above, there are only three simple options.

   'Start', 'Settings', 'Exit'.

  To be honest, Mr. Zai was somewhat disappointed when he saw this interface.

  He has been bombarded by countless games at home and abroad, and he has seen all kinds of amazing game menus. Now that such a simple and extremely simple interface suddenly appeared, he really shook his head.

   "Forget it, it's just a trial version developed by me. What do I ask for? I hope the following content can be the same as that in the real machine demo."

   As he spoke, he clicked on the settings and adjusted all the options to the highest.

   Then click to start the game.

  The interface gradually disappears, and the reading bar is loaded.

   At the top, there are warning words.

   ‘This game is challenging and brutal’

   'No one will lend you a helping hand'

   ‘Revere the forest, be patient and focus’

   Zai always disdains this.

   "Tch, who are you scaring? These days, horror games are just a joke. The demo of the real machine looks good, but I'm afraid it's a trick."

   No wonder he said that.

  He is famous for making complaints about garbage games. During his gaming career, he has naturally played some horror games.

   And these games are advertised under the slogan of scaring you to death, and the result?

   became one after another complaint material in his video.

  When the reading of the Dark Forest ends, the title animation will start playing.

   This made Mr. Zai a little surprised.

   Even the opening animation is ready?

   Great ambition, brother!

   It's just that the opening animation is a bit weird.

  It was a huge pupil, which took up two-thirds of the screen, and was accompanied by a weird melody. This pupil stared at him so hard that he couldn't help feeling a little chilly.

   Then, a striking line appeared below.

  ‘I saw hatred and fear in their eyes. '

  In the game, this huge pupil switches slowly, showing many weird pictures.

  Some are an old face, some are an inexplicable symbol, and some are naked human bodies with slender limbs.

   seems to be telling the hidden content that this game will appear.

  The cubs watching always frowned.

   "What a mess, trying to make a fuss."

  At this time, along with these pictures, the lines below are slowly changing.

  ‘As if I caused this plague to happen. '

  'As if I were the source of this plague of misery. '

  The screen switched again. This time, there were disgusting and writhing worms, all over the insteps of a pair of feet, crawling slowly.

  ‘I have nowhere to hide, no way to escape, the forest cuts us off from the outside world. '

   On the screen, another huge pupil was staring straight at him, and from there, the reflections of two human figures could be seen.

   Along with it, are the new lines below.

  ‘We’re all screwed. '

  Suddenly, the pupil enlarged infinitely, filling the screen, and finally a white light flashed.

  Two simple characters appeared in front of him.

  Prologue!

   Then the game officially begins.

   "What Riddler?"

  Zai Zong was taken aback.

   He was in a daze watching the animation at the beginning, and really didn’t know what he was talking about.

   But it doesn’t hinder his next play, since he can’t understand it, let’s ignore it, let’s play first and then talk!

   "Okay, it's a mule or a horse, I'll know if I try it myself."

  The screen of the game has been placed in front of him in its original form.

  A somewhat bald man woke up from the table, as if he was sleeping?

  However, this lowered Zai Zong's impression points again.

   "It's 2022, and there is still such a stretched screen? Forget it, personal development, the requirements should not be too high, or it may be deliberately made into this pixel-like style. Anyway, let's see if it is fun."

   This is a small room with empty furnishings, messy layout, and looks filthy.

  The large carpet was crooked and no longer neat, and a few empty bottles and documents were thrown on the ground randomly, no one paid attention to it.

  The desk that he was lying on before was full of document papers, and some industrial equipment and crops were piled up in the corner.

   No matter how you look at it, it looks like

   "Office? Or lab?"

   Zai is not sure, he controls the characters and walks around the room.

   Then he found that the character has an inexplicable sense of heaviness when he manipulates it, as if the character in the game really has weight, and it is not as flexible as the FPS first-person shooter game.

   "It's okay, acceptable, at least it won't drift."

  He commented on this.

   Then, he moved the mouse to the desk, and the word search was displayed, which caught Mr. Zai's eyes.

   This means that this table can be scraped.

  He immediately pressed the left mouse button reflexively, and suddenly, a simple interface appeared with two items inside.

   Medicines and old notebooks!

  He didn't pay attention to the medicine, any fool knows what it is for.

  So he selected the notebook immediately, and a close-up picture of a blank notebook without any writing appeared on the game interface.

   Rang Zai frowned unavoidably.

   "What is this? Does it have any effect? ​​And a special close-up?"

  Zai Zong clicked on the notebook a few times, but there was no response. He guessed it was just an ordinary collectible item, right?

  So he didn't care, clicked off, and continued to look at the small room.

  His mouse moved to the scattered documents on the ground, and the prompt text appeared again.

   This is a pile of medical notes.

   Mr. Zai clicked, and the result

  A line appeared at the bottom of the screen.

   ‘I’ve already taken this to heart, there’s no need to read it now’

  He understood, this game has a trace of decryption elements.

  At least this is the case for now, but judging from the actual machine demonstration, there are still combat elements.

  He is looking forward to it now!

  Cub always comes to the window, move the mouse, the prompt appears again.

   This is a detachable reinforced window, which means that the window in front of it is nailed to the wooden board.

  As a horror game, if you strengthen doors and windows, you will naturally guard against monsters.

   But can it be disassembled?

  As a player, curiosity always comes first, so he ordered the disassembly without hesitation.

   But the result. The line appeared again.

   ‘It would be suicidal to tear it down now’

   Well, it cannot be dismantled.

   But he was very curious about what kind of danger would come.

  So after checking all the elements of the room, go straight out!

  Suddenly, the map expanded, and the entire layout of the house was presented.

  As the cub appeared in the living room, the lines below appeared again.

  ‘I need to add some oil to the generator, there is a scrapped tractor in the eastern forest, there should be some oil in it’

  OK!

   This is the first mission objective, right?

   It's easy to say, easy to say!

   Zai is always very happy. With a goal, he will not appear so idle.

   "Eastern Forest? That means going out. As a player, before going out, you have to check if there are any supplies in the house."

  So, Mr. Zai began to collect and scrape in the house.

   Gradually, he discovered that he was manipulating a doctor.

  In connection with the content of the animation at the beginning, it can be concluded that doctors are not welcomed by patients in the forest.

   And the doctor also thought that the sick in the forest had no cure.

  Because there is a prop, such a line appeared during the investigation.

  ‘My medical tools, they haven’t been sterilized in years. However, the patients here have no cure.’

   Seeing this, Mr. Zai understood.

   "So I'm playing a doctor looking for a way out and preparing to cure a patient?"

   "Then the game flow is to collect various herbs in the forest, and then make an antidote? Escape from the forest by the way?"

   Mr. Zai pondered for a while, shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and continued to shave.

   Then he found that there were not many scrapable things in this room.

   But what makes him noticeable is that there is a locked room in it, and there is a line that will appear when it is close to opening.

   'Better not to open the door, it took me a long time to lock him in'

   This made Mr. Zai very curious.

  Who did the protagonist lock in? monster?

  But the current game mechanism prevents him from opening the door, so he can only give up.

   There is also a container that needs a lock pick to open, and he doesn't have one either.

   There is also an iron door, which when opened will say: 'It is best not to enter now'

  With all these signs on the surface, the protagonist controlled by himself is not simple!

   Most likely something is hidden inside!

   It is known that one of the rooms may be locked with monsters or humans, and it is also dangerous!

  He understands that these doors and containers that cannot be opened are obviously preparations for the later stage.

  Then the main purpose now is to go out and find oil in that eastern forest.

   Mr. Zai didn't hesitate, he went directly to the gate, pushed it open, and stepped into the forest!
