【Theme: The truth needs to be revealed】
You don't know me, so to cut a long story short, they are probably spying on me.
I worked as a software consultant for the Mukoff Psychiatric Research Group at Giant Mountain Psychiatric Hospital for two weeks.
During this time, I witnessed the unscrupulous nature of drug development, and to be honest, these people are fucking cold-blooded beasts.
It's so horrific what's happening here, I can't even believe what I'm seeing.
Doctors say that if dream therapy is carried out too deeply, it will cause people's minds to fall into more serious mental disintegration.
People here are suffering inhuman torture and the Mukf group is making profits from it.
【The truth needs to be revealed】
Finished!!!
Finish reading the text message!
Moritani just felt a buzzing in his head!
He actually guessed it right!
Golden Wind really has a backup plan!!!
The previous "To the Moon" was just an appetizer!
Their real killer move only emerged at this moment——
A brand new horror masterpiece directed by Gu Sheng, a former senior executive of the Silent Hill PT development team, in collaboration with the real Golden Wind project team!
Following the Easter egg at the end of PT, this will be another terrifying and bizarre adventure of twists and turns for the fearless reporter Miles in his search for the truth!
Bad! Bad! Bad!
At this moment, Yamamoto Tsuna was still complacently talking about the good situation, estimating the sales of Silent Hill after its release, and praising President Joetsu for his wisdom and bravery in going against all odds.
Moriya was so angry that he interrupted Yamamoto Tsuna directly:
"Forget about that. We are in big trouble. Look at this."
Speaking of.
Moritani directly sent a screenshot of the email that was simultaneously translated into Japanese to Yamamoto Tsuna.
Yamamoto Tsuna, who was speaking in the middle of a conversation, was suddenly interrupted. He couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. He muttered "What?" and casually opened the screenshot of the email sent by Moritani.
The screenshot appeared on the projection screen.
Everyone looked up.
Next second.
There was an uproar in the conference room!!!
"Wait! This... this seems to be the complete version of the Easter egg email at the end of the PT...?"
“Hiss! It’s that email!”
"Miles Apsher! That's right! He's the protagonist of PT!"
"This... Is this Golden Wind's horror game?"
"We...we seem to have been sniped!"
"What is this?! What is this?! Where did you get it?!"
Amid the uproar, Yamamoto Tsuna's voice sounded particularly terrified!
After all, he was the one who took charge of Silent Hill!
He is most familiar with the previous work PT!
I recognized it at first glance as the last Easter egg left by PT!!!
"Watch your attitude, Yamamoto,"
Moriya pointed at Yamamoto Tsuna:
"Are you questioning me?"
Yamamoto Tsuna was speechless and anxious and frightened: "Uh I...!"
He turned his eyes to Shangyue Jingzheng who was sitting in the first place, and saw that Shangyue had a frown on his face, and seemed to be more anxious than him!
He waved his hand, signaling Yamamoto Tsuna to shut up.
Joetsu Kei was frowning and looking at Moritani Tetsuya:
"Director Moriya, this is...?"
"This is an invitation letter for Golden Wind's latest horror masterpiece. I left my phone number to Golden Wind before, so I received it."
Moriya's face was full of solemnity:
"What I was most worried about has happened. Golden Wind has been busy lately. They have been developing a horror game that will rival Silent Hill."
"There is no doubt that this text message was sent to a group,"
"Now, all players around the world who have played or come into contact with the Golden Wind game should have received this message..."
Speaking of which!
Moriya took a deep breath, and nodded slightly to Xiang Yuejingzheng, with a serious face:
"The battle has officially begun, and we must join in."
Buzz——!!!
In an instant!
Jingzheng Shangyue felt as if he was struck by lightning!
We were ambushed!!!
After all, he has been the president for many years. Although Kamikoshi Keimasa is greedy, he is not stupid!
After a quick thought, he figured out Golden Wind's sinister plan!
Suddenly, I recalled what Golden Wind had said in reply:
[The mountains may not move, the water may, we look forward to meeting again (smile)]
“Baga! Baga Yalu——!!!”
Kamikoshi Keisha slammed the table!
Blood pressure rose rapidly and the face turned red!
Oh shit!
It turns out that the Golden Wind has been holding back for a long time!
The seemingly nonchalant response and the continued silence regarding PT and Silent Hill are all tactics they use to confuse themselves!
About this ambush!
The Golden Wind has been planned for several months!
During this period, a smoke bomb such as going to the moon was released!
Now!
The Golden Wind did come back to meet them again!
But he came with a knife!
Joetsu was going crazy!
He glared fiercely at Yamamoto Tsuna, who had encouraged him to kick out Golden Wind and made a desperate effort to protect Silent Hill. He wished he could slap him twice on the spot!
And now!
Yamamoto Tsuna was also dumbfounded!
At such a critical moment, the golden wind suddenly appeared!
The former 'King of Terror' Gu Sheng held a sharp blade and stabbed it into their aorta!
what to do?!
run?
Can’t run away!
The development cost was $15 million, the publicity and promotion cost was $23 million, and the total investment was $38 million!
Retreat now?
Who the hell dares to retreat?
Not to mention Yamamoto Tsuna, even the president Kamikoshi Keimasa didn't dare to retreat even a single step!
If they dare to waste 38 million dollars, the board of directors will sink them directly into the Sea of Japan!
What?
You said Kamikoshi Keizo was the chairman?
What happened to the chairman?
You lost four million dollars, and even though the board of directors rioted, you were still sunk!
"What should we do?"
The incident happened suddenly, and for a moment, even Kamikoshi Keima was panicked and his head was buzzing.
Looking at Tetsuya Moritani, he regretted his decision!
It was obvious that Moritani had already discovered the clues and saw that Golden Wind had evil intentions!
But he was too greedy and was bewitched by Yamamoto Tsuna, a useless person who was always causing trouble and could not do anything for him!
now!
Faced with the crisis, he could only seek help from the usually calm Managing Director Moritani!
But!
Moritani sneered in his heart!
What use is there for me now?
The publicity and promotion has reached this stage!
The game will be released in half a month!
You look at me, who the hell am I looking at!
"We have to fight even if we have to bite the bullet,"
Tetsuya Moriya said:
"We only have one way left now, President,"
"We will continue to increase investment, confront Golden Wind head-on, and suppress them with high publicity and promotion costs,"
"Otherwise, all previous investments will go down the drain."
Dead silence!
Dead end.
Just as Moritani had expected.
Now, Silent Hill, which is just one step away from success, is caught in an unsolvable gamble.
If you take a step back, you will lose everything.
Go one step further and bet your soul.
Look at Moritani with a calm face, look at Yamamoto with a frightened face, and then look at everyone in the conference room who are confused and stunned.
a long time!
Shangyue Jingzheng could only lean back weakly. It seemed that his skinny body was embedded in the boss chair. He waved his hand:
"Publicity and Marketing Department, go back and calculate the costs. We can only go all out."
And with Kamikoshi Keimaro's wave of his hand!
The publicity and promotion war between Golden Wind and Konami has begun!!!
…
Without a doubt!
The sudden email message caught the attention of all players almost instantly!
After all, players have never heard of or seen such a novel way of promotion!
This dimensional-breaking trailer instantly aroused heated discussions in the player market!
'Oh shit! Oh shit! I received an email from Xiao Huang! [Picture (click to view)]'
'Miles! Aaaaaaah! Miles is back! Holy shit!!!'
"Fuck! You old thief Gan Linliang! Genius! You are a pure genius! This promotion gives me goose bumps all over my body!"
"Me too! My scalp is tingling! I feel so involved!"
'Back! Back! Horror game! Your emperor is back!'
'Out last! Escape! Damn, the name of this game has a hellish flavor to it!'
'The old thief is here! Terror is here! Little Yellow is here! The underworld is peaceful!'
'Kill the dog! Kill the dog! Or fucking kill the dog!!!'
'I told you not to give up PT! Fortunately, we still have Easter eggs!'
'He actually made a new game based on the Easter egg! I cried my heart out!'
"It's just perfect, brother, please release it soon, brother. I can't sleep now, I feel like ants are crawling on my body. I beg you, just release it a day earlier. I swear I will never play horror games again after playing Escape Plan. I really can't stand it anymore, brother..."
'I suggest a thorough investigation, it doesn't seem like an act'
'Hahahahahaha outrageous'
"Look at you all laughing! So sad! Have you forgotten that we should have played Silent Hill, which was created by Lao Zei himself? Where is your passion! Where is your backbone ! "
"I'm not fucking sleepy if you say that! I'm just doing a 360-degree Thomas spin, Fxxk KONAMI!"
'Fxxk KONAMI! ! ! '
"……"
Players are excited!!!
Everyone!
That’s right , everyone, including Gu Sheng himself, misjudged the impact of PT on the horror game circle.
They even underestimated the market appeal of the 'King of Terror'!
Just one day! 24 hours!
The golden wind is like a huge dump truck with the accelerator pressed to the floor!
In an instant, Konami's hard-earned $8 million public relations efforts were shattered into pieces!
Fxxk MOMINA's voice once again swept the gaming community like wildfire.
In fact, it will be more prosperous than before!
And this!
This is just one of the holes in Konami's riddled company!
besides!
The media also turned against us!
In fact, it is not quite accurate to say that they have switched sides. After all, they have been paid and have an obligation to promote Silent Hill.
but!
You didn’t tell me not to promote “Escape”!
The media are full of smart people!
Almost the moment I received the news, I found the most eye-catching reporting posture!
"The King of Terror returns with his new game 'Escape'! Fighting against his old employer Konami!"
"Revenge! Golden Wind announces the release date of its latest horror masterpiece, a perfect match with Silent Hill!"
"Silent Hill is not silent! Can you escape? In the middle of this month, two horror masterpieces will compete against each other!"
"Kill the ex! The King of Terror Gu Sheng is coming with the horror of 'Escape'! He will face the 'Silent Hill' that he created himself!"
《……》
As much damage as you want!
As eye-catching as possible!
after all!
The unpleasant breakup between Golden Wind and Konami once caused heated discussions in the gaming circle!
Now, the media naturally compared the two games without hesitation!
When the news came, Kamikoshi Keima was almost mad with rage!
You must know!
Nowadays, the reason why Silent Hill has such a high level of attention is because they spent a huge amount of money to promote it!
But now, the media and players have tied "Silent Hill" and "Escape" together!
It's like Golden Wind didn't pay a cent, but it enjoyed the same publicity and promotion resources as Silent Hill!
For a moment!
Silent Hill is under attack from all sides, and Konami is on fire!
Three million! Five million! Ten million!
The public relations expenses are pouring in like water!
but!
The explosive public opinion is like a burst dam, it cannot be stopped!
Now, even Kamikoshi Keimaro couldn't sit still!
Today's Silent Hill is like a black hole, madly devouring their funds!
This situation can't continue any longer!
"Thirty-seven million, eight hundred thousand!"
Bang!
Keizo Uetsu slammed the financial report on the table!
Just three days!
The publicity and promotion costs of Silent Hill have reached a terrifying $37.8 million!
But!
The money was spent, but the effect was minimal!
The overwhelming media discussion and players' criticisms indicate that the Silent Hill IP will have an uncertain future.
what to do?
Shangyue Jing was frowning in thought, not knowing what to do, and even wanted to retire quickly.
However, he can't retire whenever he wants.
At least, he couldn't retreat now, unless he really couldn't stand the pressure and performed the trapeze.
"What the hell are you looking at me for, you bunch of idiots!"
Seeing that no one in the conference room spoke and everyone was looking at him, Shangyue Jingzheng became very angry.
He grabbed the financial report and threw it at Yamamoto Tsuna:
"Tell me! What other plans do we have now!"
Oh shit.
Shangyue Jingzheng wanted to kill this evil creature.
If it weren't for you, I could have retired peacefully. I wouldn't be in such a miserable state today!
"I...I...uh..."
Yamamoto Tsuna's eyes were bloodshot and his face was purple!
Since the announcement of " Escape "!
He never had a full night's sleep!
I am awakened almost every day by the nightmare of Silent Hill's plummeting sales!
And Gu Sheng's face would gradually become abstract and distorted, sometimes transforming into a ghost in phobia, sometimes transforming into Lisa in PT, lying next to his ear and whispering in his ear: You're fucking dead this time.
The title of the King of Terror, which he once despised the most, was now like a poison, deeply rooted in his heart, haunting him like a nightmare day and night.
"You good-for-nothing..."
Seeing that Yamamoto Tsuna couldn't say a word for a long time, Kamikoshi Kei was about to curse.
In a desperate situation, Yamamoto Tsuna's mind raced and a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to him!
"Teacher! Teacher, I have an idea! I have an idea!"
"Humph," Shangyue Jingzheng snorted coldly: "Speak."
Yamamoto Tsuna tried hard to organize his thoughts!
He said: "The situation we are facing now is very complicated, and there is no focus, which is almost aimless and robbing Peter to pay Paul."
"I was just thinking, since total suppression doesn't work, can we grasp the key points, gather our strength, and break through them?"
"oh?"
When Joetsu Keisha heard that there was a way, he calmed down and nodded to signal Yamamoto Tsuna to continue:
"Go on."
"Hayi——"
Yamamoto Tsuna nodded:
"I think since Golden Wind is a Chinese gaming company, China is the base where its influence originates,"
"So……"
"If we can find a partner company in China, control the influence in China, support spokespeople and let them fight in China, can we effectively prevent the influence from spreading outward?"
hiss--!!!
As soon as these words came out!
Keimasa Joetsu's eyes lit up involuntarily, thinking that Yamamoto had finally made a useful suggestion.
"Then..." Shangyue Jingzheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who do you think we can cooperate with to suppress the Golden Wind to the greatest extent?"
Hearing this!
Then Yamamoto Tsuna thought for a moment!
"In China, the only two gaming complexes that can pose a threat to Golden Wind are:
"Eiyu and Xun Teng,"
"As a long-term partner of Golden Wind, Yiyou cannot be turned against us at this critical point, so—"
Speaking of this.
There was a gleam of evil in Yamamoto Tsuna's eyes!
"I think Xun Teng Yugi, who had a lot of conflicts with Golden Wind before, is a good choice..."
