Chapter 166: Turn off the lights and power off! Top psychological horror!
It's numb!
Not just pure black.
All the players who have the courage to play to this point, and all the viewers who are ready to play through the game online.
When I saw this scene, I was completely numb!
Then I saw that the light in the hallway, which was already dim and flickering, went out!
And Lisa's creepy ghost disappeared at this moment!
In an instant!
The entire corridor was dark!
There was only the hollow buzzing sound and Lisa's almost 360-degree sobbing, following like a shadow, echoing in the dark corridor!
Nothing happened.
but!
No one dared to move forward even half a step!
because!
The female ghost Lisa has disappeared into the darkness at this moment!
But!
The creepy and horrible sobbing and crying sound blended into every inch of darkness!
The pitch-black darkness is like an invisible net that binds and locks the players' hearts tightly!
Ahead is a bottomless dark abyss!
And you are blindfolded!
Where is Lisa?
Nobody knows.
She might have disappeared, vanished into the inky darkness.
She might still be standing under the chandelier in the hallway, in that weird posture, waiting for you to fall into her trap.
Or maybe!
Right now!
She has already taken a step and is approaching you quietly without you seeing her.
At this moment, that swollen and foamy face with one eye gouged out, filthy and hideous... is right in front of you.
As long as you take half a step forward, you can bump into her.
Super god-level psychological fear!
It does not rely on sudden startling jump-face kills!
Just a small lighting change!
It can grasp the hearts of players tightly in the clutches of fear!
“I—shit—!!!”
Chun Hei, who was already paralyzed while standing there, let out a desperate scream!
A chill rushed straight to the top of my head, and my whole body was like a cat with its fur standing on end, with every hair on my body standing upright!!!
There was even a hint of crying in the rapid breathing.
The extreme fear was like an iron rod inserted from the top of his head, firmly pinning him to the ground!
The stimulation of psychological fear made his throat tighten, and he could hardly utter a complete sentence!
The barrage exploded instantly!
“What the hell——!!!”
"Fuck you, you old thief! I got goosebumps instantly!"
'This is so fucking terrible. I can't take it anymore!'
'I broke out in a cold sweat! '
'I thought there might be some noise, and I thought Lisa might sit on my face, but I didn't expect the old thief to turn off the damn lights! '
'I finally understand why humans have a natural fear of darkness. In the darkness, there are no dangerous targets, so there are dangers everywhere!'
"It's broken! It's broken! The psychological fear has brought this old thief to his knees!"
"This game... I don't even think I'm qualified to play it online..."
"Sorry old thief, I was a little loud just now, saying that a trial version is not worthy of being called the world's most terrifying game."
'Sister Lisa, there were a lot of people in the live broadcast room just now. I was wrong. I'll kowtow to you. Please don't cry...'
"I'm young now, old thief, please stop using your magic and give me a chance to get up in the middle of the night and go to the toilet in the dark."
'Then you turn your head while you pee! Bang! A Lisa is standing at the toilet door waiting for you'
'Damn!!! You can be considered a human being?!!!'
'Friendly reminder, you can breathe in front of the screen, this is live'
"Thank you for the reminder. I almost suffocated myself..."
"……"
Turn off the lights!
Pull the switch!
Just a small design can fully demonstrate the ultimate power of psychological fear!
And at this time, Pure Black finally breathed a sigh of relief!
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Maybe, maybe phobia is the limit of my tolerance."
"This is really too scary... I am standing still and dare not move... I almost don't want to continue playing..."
"I really—"
"I really can't stand this..."
"This kind of psychological fear tortures me!"
As we all know!
Although the somatosensory cabin can ensure that players will not suffer physical trauma while playing.
But Chunhei is afraid that he will leave a permanent psychological trauma!
God knows if if he really takes a step forward and has a face-to-face meeting with Lisa, he will see Lisa's regrettable face every time he closes his eyes for the next month!
but!
Because this top-level psychological fear is rooted in the heart!
Therefore, even though Chun Hei felt that his fear tolerance had reached its limit at this time, the somatosensory cabin still did not make any move to kick him.
Of course, he can also choose to stop right now and quit the game.
But that kind of exit always seems a bit sloppy.
In that case...
Take a deep breath!
Then I heard Chun Hei trembling and saying loudly:
"Just one last bit! I'll play just one last bit!"
"This time I'm going to charge straight in! I don't care what the hell you have!"
"I don't care! I can't care! I can't stand it!"
"Go, go, go! Pure black! Go straight ahead!"
“Aa ...
The moment of courage born out of extreme fear was like a shot of adrenaline, suddenly piercing into the pure black body!
Then he closed his eyes, swung his arms, and rushed forward with his fists!
"Ahhhh! I don't care what's going on!"
"I'll just charge!"
"Come out! Come here! Scare me to death if you dare! Come on!"
“Aa ...
In the dark corridor!
Pure Black was like a dump truck out of control, rushing forward madly, talking nonsense!
The comments were all laughing like crazy——
"Autobots! Transform! Dump truck form!"
"Master: I will kill you--!"
"Hahahahahahaha crazy..."
'Another crazy one'
"You've already started talking nonsense, hahahahaha..."
"I was quite scared at first, but when the young master howled, I was instantly scared."
'2333333'
'Lisa: What did I say? This guy is much scarier than me!'
“Hahahahahaha…”
Brutal collision!
Boom!
It was not until Chun Hei felt that he had hit a wall and could no longer move forward that he slowly opened his eyes, gasping for breath.
“Hoo—hoo—hoo—”
at this time.
Lisa's crying had died down.
And the next second, the chandelier in the foyer lit up again.
More cockroaches crawled underfoot and on the walls, giving people goosebumps.
but.
Apart from this, there was no other noise in the corridor.
"call--!!!"
Pure Black breathed a sigh of relief!
With a thud, he leaned against the cabinet in the hallway!
Two lives as a human being!
"Fuck... I really... my fingers are all numb now..."
Chun Hei's voice was a little hoarse, as if he had screamed too much.
And at this time.
A prompt sound came——
[Ding! The respiratory rate is detected to be excessive. To protect your health, you have automatically disconnected from the body sensor connection]
This time, there was no undue shock.
Instead, it was the exhaustion and gasping as if one had survived a disaster that caused the body sensing cabin to activate the automatic protection mode.
The unprecedented outrageous disconnection situation indirectly proves how much psychological trauma the previous scene has caused to the players!
The somatosensory hatch is open, and Pure Black needs to take a rest first.
He was kicked four times in seven minutes.
No matter how fast he recovers mentally, he still needs to take a break.
but!
At this moment, more people are conducting in-depth investigations into this strange and terrifying villa!
Some of them are players who are simply looking for excitement.
Some are friendly competitors who are looking for the core elements of psychological horror games.
Others are media reviewers who are unlucky enough to have to work.
For example——
Xu Xiaolin.
…
What the hell have I done wrong!
I actually want to review this extremely hellish game!
now!
Xu Xiaolin was standing at the starting point of a new round of corridor, breathing heavily!
The scene just now directly refreshed his understanding of horror games!
So horrible!
More than just games!
And there is Gu Sheng’s amazing psychological fear design!
Although!
PT and Yakuza, both games under Konami, belong to different genres.
but!
Through the experience evaluation of the two games, Xu Xiaolin was surprised to find that in terms of the sophistication of trial version design, Gu Sheng, who had only been in the industry for two or three years, had actually surpassed the experienced Yamamoto Tsuna!
Xu Xiaolin tried the trial version of Jidao Kuangbiao.
His evaluation is similar to Pew.
Overall, this game is pretty standard. It has both shooting and racing content, and the integration is pretty good.
Players know what they want to see in this work, and the experienced Yamamoto Tsuna has also made accurate judgments on players' needs.
Therefore, he placed the focus of the trial version on "gameplay presentation".
The trial version is divided into three parts, showing the game's FPS attributes, racing attributes, and cultural background attributes respectively.
It is a style of play that does not seek to achieve anything, but only to avoid mistakes.
As it turned out, Yamamoto Tsuna was right.
As a professional media reviewer, Xu Xiaolin gave the trial version of Jidao Kuangbiao a score of about 9.2-9.5.
Let’s look back at Gu Sheng and his Silent Hill PT!
Compared with Jidao Kuangbiao, the PT project is at a complete disadvantage!
Even without considering the three aspects of money, people and publicity, just talking about the game type and environment, there is a dimension of difference between the two sides!
One is shooting racing, which is very popular in the market!
One is a horror thriller, an industry outcast!
The most important thing is!
The players of Jidao Kuangchong know what they want!
Exciting gunfights, thrilling chases, and the atmosphere of Yakuza culture!
Yamamoto Tsuna has many references!
But what about the players of Silent Hill PT?
They don’t even know what their requirements are!
They only know that they don't like those lame, crude, templated and clichéd JumpScares!
But if you ask them what specific horror elements they want, they themselves can't explain it clearly!
Such a situation will undoubtedly make the difficulty of game design soar!
Not to mention that Gu Sheng is just a new designer who has been in the industry for less than five years.
Even an experienced designer would feel powerless when faced with this situation!
Because this is completely like crossing the river by feeling the stones!
but!
It is precisely this kind of tricky situation that can better demonstrate Gu Sheng’s abnormal strength!
He doesn't need to understand what players want, nor does he need to cater to players' ambiguous, vague, and even unclear gaming demands that he himself cannot explain.
Because he is the benchmark! He is the trend! He is the pioneer who opened the history of games!
His sufficient confidence enables him to write with divine power!
This unparalleled self-confidence, which can even be called arrogance, allows him to dare to announce to players around the world - what I do is what you really want!
So!
Gu Sheng boldly designed a plot for the trial version!
Don't be impatient or anxious, don't be busy or slow!
From the atmosphere created at the beginning to the top psychological fear when the lights are turned off!
Gu Sheng has a firm control over the players' nerves every minute and every second!
The closer you get to the truth of the murder, the more obvious the characteristics of the game become!
What Jidao Kuangbiao did, PT did.
What Jidao Kuangbiao couldn't do, PT did!
This is Gu Sheng!
A chosen gamer and a genius designer!
Xu Xiaolin leaned against the wall of the corridor, breathing heavily and marveling in his heart.
Goosebumps appeared one after another, and the shock in my heart came one after another .
Gu Sheng is like his psychological horror game.
Can't think about it in detail.
The more I think about it, the more scared I get.
Think of this!
Xu Xiaolin had almost run out of breath, so he gathered himself together!
"Well, that's about it,"
Xu Xiaolin nodded and felt his heart rate drop a little.
He took another step, walked through the increasingly dark corridor, and carefully turned the corner to look at the corridor connecting to the foyer.
The heart rate went up again.
You bastard!
Gu Sheng!
Just now!
The entire hallway was pitch black!
Although Lisa's crying stopped, the baby's crying started again!
And this time it becomes very real!
Because at this time!
Right in front of Xu Xiaolin’s right!
The room filled with a strong smell of blood, where Lisa once closed the door!
Open wide!
"Fuck - you are a bastard!!!"
No matter how knowledgeable, experienced in gaming, and well-qualified Xu Xiaolin is!
At this moment, I couldn't help but swear!
Is this something a human would do?!
Indeed!
As an experienced game reviewer, Xu Xiaolin had long determined that this corner room was the "keyroom".
It is even possible that this was the original crime scene of the brutal murder that year!
but!
But he didn't expect that Gu Sheng, as a mortal man, could actually design such an underworld game process!
The players have just experienced the baptism of Lisa turning off the lights and powering off the grid!
Without giving you any time to breathe, this bastard just opens the door for you!
[Do you think that was the limit of horror just now? Come in and take a look, I have even bigger treasures to show you! ]
What a fucking pervert.
At this moment, Xu Xiaolin truly felt the dark side of the old thief.
He even suspected that after the game was released, Gu Sheng would secretly hide behind the screen, watching the players screaming and having mental breakdowns from being scared, and then grinning.
Pure psychopath.
Xu Xiaolin secretly complained.
Just do it!
Xu Xiaolin carefully walked to the door of the room that smelled of blood.
Snap, snap, snap…
A flashlight was flickering intermittently on the ground.
By the strobing light.
Xu Xiaolin recognized where this place was——
Mosaic tiles, old basin, dirty mirror, dirty toilet, torn shower curtain, and half bathtub hidden behind.
This is a fucking toilet.
