The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

After the initial confusion and disbelief, Wen Feihang quickly calmed down again.

Out of trust in Shepherd Star - if it was really just an ordinary and weird little game, Shepherd Star would not make a special trip out for two people to try it out, this game is definitely not that bad, in other words, The reason why the game producer set up such an endless ending must have its meaning.

Thinking of this, he reorganized the information he currently got from the game:

The heroine is Viola, 13 years old, playing alone in the forest. According to the note from her father in the game prompt, the condition for reaching a non-failure ending is probably that the heroine returns home safely and reunites with her father. When the computer continued to control the game character an hour later, it played an inexplicable ordinary END unimpeded.

And what caused this change was... the passage of game time?

In other words, the conditions that need to be fulfilled for normal game clearance are essentially the same as the game characters staying in place for a certain period of time.

Wen Feihang was thoughtful.

It seems that the plot of this game is not that simple...

If Fang Lian values ​​gameplay, then what Wen Feihang is most interested in is the process of exploring the plot step by step.Keeping the unexpected discovery in front of him in mind, Wen Feihang opened the game.

He became interested in this game.

-

When Wen Feihang finally officially started the game, Fang Lian on the other side also ushered in the end of the game.

After solving puzzles layer by layer, the game character finally came to the witch's room, and the whole game also came to the end and the most difficult part of the chase. Here, the player needs to manipulate the game character to go from escape from the house.

Since it is a BOSS battle, its difficulty is naturally greatly increased compared to the previous puzzle solving. Rao Fang even thought that his consciousness and hand speed were not bad, and he planted in this place more than a dozen times. Let "Viola" escape from the Witch's House.

At the same moment when Viola left the Witch's House, the game screen began to brighten, and finally showed the appearance. When Fang Lian returned along the way he came, he picked up the note from his father in the grass at the beginning of the game. The missing upper half also appears there.

Fang Lian clicked on the note, and the beginning of the letter was "To Viola", which seemed to be written to her by the heroine's father:

"I got angry with you yesterday. I'm sorry. I heard that there is a witch who lives in the forest and will abduct lost children. People said that a long time ago. And your friend's house is near that forest, so I'm worried about you. .Is that friend of yours named Irene? Go to her house"

The contents of the letter came to an abrupt end here, and Fang Lian clicked on the lower part of the letter in the props bar, which was exactly what he collected at the beginning of the game, and the content immediately followed was: "(go to her house) to play It doesn't matter, but don't go far in the forest. Go home early when you have fun. ——Papa."

It seems that the plot of this game is probably like this, Fang Lian thought.

The protagonist Viola regards Irene, that is, the witch as a friend, but to the witch, Viola is just a body she intends to replace, and what the player has to do is to help Viola escape from the witch's house and return safely. Go to your own home and reunite with your father.

It's a normal plot...

Thinking of this, Fang Lian was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart. Although this horror puzzle game is still qualified in terms of gameplay, except for those unexpected and carefully set puzzles in the game, there is nothing that can A place to impress.

Good is good, but not enough.

In fact, it seemed to be exactly what he thought.

In the game screen, as Viola strode through the disappearing rose bushes, the forest began to drizzle. At the same time, a male character with a pistol appeared at the end of the road. Obviously, this is It was Viola's father who came to welcome her daughter home.

The father and daughter were reunited. It was a warm and happy time in the game. At this moment, the screen suddenly went dark, and the witch with only her upper body struggled to rush towards Viola, leaving behind on the road. There was a long bloody mark, and the father took a step forward without hesitation, protecting his daughter behind him.

"Stand back, Viola!"

As the father said so, facing the witch in front of him was Yi Mucang, the screen flashed blood for a short time, a small half of the witch's head was knocked off, and more blood overflowed from her body, but the father seemed to be Feeling that it was not enough, he raised his hand and quickly filled another wooden warehouse.

The rain is getting heavier.

The witch who had been hit by two wooden warehouses lay dying in a pool of blood, unable to move any more, and soon disappeared without a trace, as if she had never existed.

Viola returned to her father safely, and the two turned around and walked out of the forest together. At the end of the game, the blond girl standing at the entrance of the forest turned her head and glanced at the forest behind her, and then followed her father. The pace, the two returned home with their companions.

Seeing the word "END" appear on the game screen, Fang Lian finally breathed a sigh of relief.No matter what, at least he has played the first ending, and the next thing to do is to figure out how to play the remaining endings.

While thinking about it, he happily opened the chat group, and specially circled Mu Suxing and Wen Feihang to express his joy of clearing the game:

Fang Lian: I played the first ending!Solving puzzles in this game is still very interesting, and the horror atmosphere is also created very well. It is already amazing that a pixel RPG game can do this!I'll write a specific game review after I type out all the other endings!

Shepherd Star: Congratulations! "The Witch's House" has a total of 4 endings, come on ^^ I'm waiting for your evaluation.

Fang Lian: Don't worry, it's on me. I'm an old player, unlike a rookie who is still stuck at the beginning. [sunglasses]

Fang Lian habitually mocked Wen Feihang, not wanting that his little friend who used to fight with him didn't want to talk to him at all now, so he made himself feel bored, so he could only continue to study other endings disgruntled.

Wen Feihang did not see Fang Lian's provocation - because he was completely attracted by this game.

As a plot-oriented player, his focus is exactly the opposite of that of Fang Lian.

With the inexplicable ending at the beginning, and the fact that RPG games always take the plot as one of the core selling points, Wen Feihang has been solving puzzles since he entered the game, with the mentality of analyzing the plot, wondering and thinking about the plot in the game. Every oddity.

The game prompts to stuff the teddy bear doll into the basket, but he can’t stuff it in because the space is too small. When he subtracts the teddy bear’s hands and feet according to the game prompt, the place where the teddy bear doll’s hands and feet are cut off is There was a pool of blood.

In this way, the teddy bear without hands and feet was successfully stuffed into the basket, but...

He looked at Viola who was not responding on the game screen, and suddenly became a little restless.

Generally speaking, producers of such games seldom deliberately emphasize the age of the protagonist. However, in this "The Witch's House", the word "13 years old" is clearly displayed under Viola's head, although the game It is true that the actual manipulator is the player, but why did 13-year-old Viola have no reaction when faced with all kinds of horrific anomalies in The Witch's House?

She even cut off the teddy bear's hands and feet just like that, quite casually, without showing any emotion of fear or panic.

Is it really just because Viola's character design in the game is such a calm character?

Wen Feihang was a little confused.

In the following time, not only did this confusion not disappear, it seemed that as the game progressed, it became more and more weird.

Especially in order to pass through a room, when Viola stuffed the little frog that had helped her a lot into the room with the big snake inside, and intentionally let it be eaten, Wen Feihang felt even weirder in his heart.

At this point, the heroine Viola can no longer be described as "calm". This is not calm or fearless, it is clearly cold-blooded and ruthless.

Is this really just character setting?

Wen Feihang recalled the information he collected in the front room.

The witch girl was sick, no one wanted to play with her, and her parents didn't love her, so she chose to kill her parents.

From here, it can be clearly seen that the witch is a cruel and cruel person, otherwise she would not have killed her parents.But on the other hand, judging from Viola's current performance, the protagonist manipulated by this player doesn't seem to be any better than the witch.

As the game progressed, Wen Feihang became more and more confused.

In the witch's diary, the witch said that she and Viola are "friends" and that Viola can help her get out of the pain. Regardless of whether the two are real friends or fake friends, what is certain is that Viola and The witch knows it.

This isn't Viola's first visit to the Witch's House.

At the end of the game, when Viola came to the witch's room, the last diary of the witch confirmed part of his guess: the witch and Viola are "friends", because the witch's body is sick, and she wants to get Viola's body.

When Wen Feihang finally escaped from the Witch's House, it was already 10 minutes later.At the same time, after thinking about it, Fang Lian on the other side also played a second ending that was the same as Wen Feihang's -

This time, when the witch with only the upper body left came closely behind Viola, Viola, who was silent in the previous normal ending, stood in place at this moment, watching the witch approaching her leisurely. When the witch crawled in front of her and stopped, the girl who had been silent since the beginning of the game suddenly said:

"It's really entangled."

Wen Feihang was not surprised by this, after all, he had seen the character design of the heroine Viola during the game, but Fang Lian, the second week's target here, was stunned, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

As if to confirm his guess, the next second, Viola in the picture suddenly stretched out her hand and stabbed the witch with the knife in her hand: "How long are you going to chase me? Soon, your body will I'm going to die."

The witch lay quietly on the ground like that, her eyes were bloody and bloody, but she said stubbornly: "...give...give...me..."

give me back?What's the meaning?

Fang Lian didn't react for a while, but the conversation in the game continued.

"'Give it back to you'? No way. This body doesn't hurt anywhere." Viola said, "This is the body you gave me, why do you want to go back?" The blond girl said Then, facing the witch in front of him, he called out the other party's name in a relaxed tone: "—Viola."

and many more!

The meaning of this dialogue is that Viola and the witch have exchanged bodies as early as the beginning of the game. The "Viola" controlled by the player is the real witch?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

On the computer screen, the blond girl who was squatting in front of the "witch" suddenly stood up, turned around, walked a few steps towards the distance, and stopped again.

"I'm very pitiful, right? I've been suffering from an incurable disease...the me who was lying on the bed and couldn't move."

"So, I used magic to exchange our bodies with each other." As if hearing something funny, the girl chuckled: "Only for one day?... Hee hee, who would remember this kind of agreement? .”

As she spoke, she sat down in front of the other party bored, with a troubled look on her face: "Isn't he dead yet? I feel that this body of mine is really strong enough."

As the girl said this, she stood up from the ground as if she remembered something:

"Ah, could it be that because I was worried about my father, I couldn't die with peace of mind? I know that Viola and her father depend on each other for life."

The witch said: "Your memory is still in your body, you are such a gentle person."

The witch said: "Is my father's job a hunter? I wrote you a special letter. What a good father."

"Are you worried about things after I'm not here?" The girl took a few steps forward, and squatted down in front of the girl in the pool of blood again. The distance between the two got closer, but the witch smiled indifferently: " It doesn't matter, I, along with Viola, will be loved well."

"—to be loved along with Viola."

The amount of information about the ending in front of him was too much, and Fang Lian only felt creepy. Now recalling the ending of the first week, he only felt that his whole body was not good.

What about the ordinary game plot and game ending? Where is the father who arrived in time and rescued his daughter from the witch? The father and daughter returned home with Hemeimei. It was clearly the father who didn't know anything about it and opened the wooden warehouse with his own hands. Killed his own daughter!

When Viola's father appeared at the end of the trail just like the ending of the first week, Fang Lian struggled with a glimmer of hope again.

Since it is a different ending, then the ending should be different, right?He said that he is a "good father", shouldn't he fail to recognize his daughter?Maybe he played the normal ending last time, so this ending is the real HE?

however--

The same place, the same heavy rain, the same purple-haired girl dying in a pool of blood, and the father and daughter who finally reunited in the forest.

The girl in the blond dress seemed to be frightened, and immediately hid behind her father, and timidly looked at the monster not far away. The father who followed his daughter's line of sight also saw this scene.

The girl with no lower body blinked her eyes, put her hands on the grass, and tried her best to crawl towards the man not far away. Blood continuously overflowed from the cut in her waist, spreading a bloody shadow on the path.

She seemed to have tried her best, but her physical limitations made her murmur: "Dad...Dad...Dad...Dad...save...save me...ah..."

No one heard her.

Disturbed by the slow approach of the monster, the man suddenly raised the pistol in his hand and said loudly: "Don't, don't come here, monster!!"

The two sounds of wooden warehouses are exactly the same as those in Zhoumu.

The monster fell into a pool of blood completely. The father took his daughter and left the forest in a hurry. The blond girl who followed her father obediently last time, this time she covered her mouth and snickered when she reached the end. Actions.

Of course my father wouldn't notice this.

——This is the real ending of "The Witch's House", which can only be seen by players outside the computer screen.
