Release date!

Along with the night came the fear brought by the King of Terror, Gu Sheng!

Trembling along with the players is the despair emanating from the miserable CEO Shen Miaomiao!

Top ten hot searches on the gaming and entertainment list!

All six are escape related!

It occupies more than half!

Shen Miaomiao looked ashen!

'Has it started? It's over!' The fear once again enveloped her like a haze!

The King of Terror lives up to his reputation, his destructive power is too great!

Shen Miaomiao, who was curled up on the sofa wrapped in a small blanket, looked at Gu Sheng, who was browsing his phone and reading stupid comments from netizens for fun, with a complicated expression.

It is hard to imagine that a man who looks so sunny, kind, cheerful and easy-going is actually a psychopath.

Not only is the game extremely hellish, but when facing a strong enemy like Konami, the various tactics they use are also extremely sinister.

Oh, yes.

Speaking of which, my dad deserves half of the military medal.

Alas... I shouldn't have brought him home in the first place.

Now, the old fox gives advice to the little fox every day, and the two of them are in cahoots with each other.

In comparison, I look like an innocent little white rabbit.

Sometimes I even suspect that the father and son are related and I was adopted.

Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao glared fiercely at Gu Sheng who was grinning.

Checked the time.

It was nearly eight o'clock.

'system.'

【I am here】

Shen Miaomiao summoned the system interface in her mind.

Since this game was going to compete with Konami, Shen Miaomiao took into consideration that further investment would be required in subsequent promotion and marketing, so she did not lock in the receipts.

Now, the game is about to be released, the cost investment is basically finalized, and if the documents are not locked in, they will become invalid.

Therefore, Shen Miao called out the sub-project interface——

[Sub-project: Escape]

[Project investment amount: 18.15 million dollars]

[Project settlement time: 7 days (+0 days)]

[Project rebate rate: 100 times (+0 times)]

[Current revenue amount: 0 yuan]

[Estimated rebate amount: $1.815 billion]

[Remaining settlement time: waiting to be opened]

It can be seen that the system is still very intelligent.

Since this time they are targeting international companies like Konami, the game is also released for the international market.

Therefore, the calculation currency of the document has also become the global currency US dollar.

The highest rebate of $1.8 billion!

Shen Miaomiao's mouth was watering with greed.

Of course, this 'estimated rebate amount' only looks good.

It is impossible that the game cannot sell any copies, especially since escape games are so popular nowadays.

$1.815 billion.

Shen Miaomiao just wanted a small portion.

And at the moment!

This idea is not really bold, and it is even very likely to come true!

after all!

The settlement period for escape is only seven days!

And they price the escape at $18 per serving!

Development cost of $18.15 million!

Yiyou takes a 20% commission, Xun Teng takes a 30% commission, which means a compromise of 25%.

In order to realize a payback, Escape needs to achieve a sales turnover of $24.2 million in just seven days, which is equivalent to sales of... about 1.35 million units!

1.35 million sets in a single week!

What is the concept?

At present, the sales of Golden Wind's most powerful game, " Titanfall ", are only about 860,000 copies in two weeks!

Although the number of sales is limited to a certain extent by the production capacity of the somatosensory cabin.

But even if Yiyou's production line was running around the clock, providing them with ample market, the two-week sales of "Titanfall" are not expected to exceed 1.5 million copies!

And now!

If "Escape" wants to make a profit, it must sell more than 1.35 million copies in just seven days!

There's hope!

Shen Miaomiao, who originally had a dejected look on her face, became full of life again.

Even if she only loses $150,000, which is equivalent to selling 7,000 to 8,000 fewer copies of the game, she can still get a full rebate of $15 million!

That was the case with my first sub-project “APEX”!

Although the loss is not much, but at least it is a loss!

Hope it will be successful this time too!

Think of this.

Shen Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief and began to like Gu Sheng a lot more (even though Gu Sheng had been playing the role of an online comedian from the beginning to the end).

"Hello,"

Shen Miaomiao's smooth, white, and well-proportioned legs, like white jade, stretched out from the small blanket. Her toes, as pink and tender as peach petals, tapped Gu Sheng's arm, like a naughty cat slapping its shit shoveler:

"Come closer, you're too far away from me."

"I did it on purpose."

Gu Sheng glanced at Shen Miaomiao, and not only did he not go over, he even squeezed to the other end of the sofa.

"Why?!"

Shen Miaomiao raised her eyebrows and glared at Gu Sheng angrily:

"Do you dislike me?"

"It's not that I dislike you,"

Gu Sheng grinned, showing a lingering fear, and pointed to his waist:

"It's my kidney that's afraid of you. It told me to stay away from you."

Shen Miaomiao likes to pinch people when she gets excited!

Gu Sheng had experienced this as early as when he was developing "Phasmophobia"!

So usually, whenever the two of them watched horror movies or horror game live broadcasts, Gu Sheng would stay away from her.

Don’t be fooled by this little Nezha’s small size, he has very strong hands and it hurts a lot when he grabs someone!

And today!

It’s the launch day of Outlast!

Others may not know how scary this thing is, but how could Gu Sheng not know?

Although he and little Nezha were just watching the live broadcast, the impact of the pictures was probably more than little Nezha could bear.

It's not something my waist can bear.

"ah……"

Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao looked sad and bowed towards Gu Sheng:

"I can't control it."

"You always say that,"

Gu Sheng had a look of disbelief on his face. He had obviously suffered a lot before, and he leaned to the side again:

“Keep half a meter away.”

"I don't!"

Shen Miaomiao moved again, and got next to Gu Sheng, squeezing him.

"Me neither."

Gu Sheng stood up and went straight to the other end of the sofa.

Shen Miaomiao saw that Gu Sheng was determined not to get close to her, so she had no choice but to calm down and take a deep breath:

"I'm Shu Dao Shan! One!!!"

bass!

Before he finished speaking!

Gu Sheng moved sideways and sat down next to Shen Miaomiao, wrapping her in a small blanket.

"Look at you... you don't know how to be funny..."

"Please don't say things that are not conducive to unity in the future."

And I just said this!

Then the voice of anchor Pew came out from the live broadcast room——

…

"Unlock!!! Kang Mang Lai dead dog!!! "

8pm Zhongjing time!

The much-anticipated "Escape" is unlocked on time!

Pew, who had already purchased 2 Yiyou games, clicked into the game immediately!

What?

You said Silent Hill was also released at the same time?

Forget it, I'm really not familiar with you.

At this moment, there were a lot of fireworks emoji expressions on the barrage!

There are constant rewards and discussions are in full swing!

'Finally unlocked! Been waiting for so long!'

'Mental hospitals, drug trials, the truth waiting to be revealed, oh my god it's scary to think about it!'

"I wonder what kind of horrible setting Sam will bring this time."

"I'm going to predict that there will be chases and maybe parkour elements."

"Escape, of course, is the way to go."

'ohhhhhh——this game's main interface——'

"It's too dark..."

As Pew enters the game, the main interface appears.

The big "OUTLAST" game title looks like words painted on an old wall, and it is mottled.

In the dynamic blurred background, there are wheelchairs, scissors, surgical forceps, DV cameras, and a long old-fashioned corridor covered with bloodstains...

Pew grinned: "Oh my god"

"This looks really bad..."

Every element that flashed in the background made him feel a palpitation from the bottom of his heart.

"Let me tell you the background of the story first,"

While waiting for the sensor to detect his health data, Pew briefly talked about the background of the game:

"The story takes place at Giant Mountain Mental Hospital in Colorado,"

"Myers, who is me today, received an email when I left Silent Hill,"

"An anonymous whistleblower said that this mental hospital is hiding a dark secret, and it seems that someone is conducting some drug experiments here,"

"So after some investigation, I confirmed that the source of the letter was genuine and not a prank,"

"So I decided to go to the Giant Mountain Mental Hospital under the cover of night and secretly investigate the crimes and the truth hidden here."

That’s it!

Then the live broadcast screen of Pew turned black!

Then, the sound of a car engine gradually began to sound.

The swishing sound sounded like driving on a gravel road in the suburbs.

Open your eyes slowly!

A familiar scene came upon us——

The familiar red jeep, the familiar three-spoke steering wheel, and the familiar press card hanging on the rearview mirror.

As the car drove, the press card swayed, revealing the familiar motto handwriting:

[I will be committed to uncovering the most obscure and inaccessible news truth. This is my career and my lifelong pursuit]

[For the truth, I will do anything]

【——Miles Upshur】

now.

It was late in the day and it was pitch black outside the car.

The dim light of the small jeep barely illuminated the intricate suburban road ahead.

There was a slightly noisy sound coming from the car radio, and I couldn't quite make out what was being said.

Click…click…

The suburban road was very bumpy. Even though Pew was driving an off-road jeep, he was still thrown up and down:

“This broken road is really difficult to drive on.”

As Pew complained, he saw an old-fashioned marble sign like a tombstone standing in the weeds ahead.

【Jushan Psychiatric Hospital】

【——Mukhfu Group】

And as the vehicle turns right!

A huge building appeared in front of Pew.

Vines crisscrossed the bluestone brick wall, and two dirty ball lamps, which were better than nothing, stood alone on the top of the wall, emitting a faint light.

The car drove to the gate and two railings blocked Pew's way.

Pew sat in the car and looked curiously into the hospital.

It was pitch black inside, like a cemetery, and the facilities inside could not be seen at all.

“This place…”

Since the story is set in Colorado, a city in the western United States, it is relatively familiar to Pew, who has lived in the United States for a long time.

"This doesn't look like a hospital,"

Pew grinned and said:

"It's more of a sanatorium than a hospital,"

“It’s like a sanatorium from the 1940s and 1950s, at the end of World War II.”

Pew could already feel his blood pressure rising.

Relying on the powerful visual expression of the 'Phoenix Engine'.

Shrouded in darkness, the Giant Mountain Mental Hospital looks so ominous at the moment.

Have to admit it!

In terms of environmental shaping.

Sam does have skills that far exceed industry standards.

"Let's see what Sam has prepared for us this time..."

Speaking of.

Pew turned off the car and turned to look.

In the passenger seat, there are only two things——

A blue-covered file folder containing the paper copy of the email that said "The truth needs to be revealed."

In addition, there is a DV camera.

Perhaps for other games, the DV camera is a very rare item.

But for the players of Golden Wind, this thing is not unfamiliar.

"Hahahahaha DV camera, can I capture the ghost orb?"

Pew picked up the DV camera, opened it with ease, and said jokingly:

"Will I also get a thermometer, a dot matrix sensor, and an EMF tester later?"

good!

Once, in Golden Wind’s first horror game “Phasmophobia”, a DV camera appeared as an important prop for identifying the type of ghosts!

Now that he has it in his hand again, Pew feels quite familiar with it!

but!

Different from the nuclear-powered DV camera in "Phasmophobia".

In "Escape", the battery of DV is limited, not unlimited.

Even the battery needs to be replaced manually.

Click.

"OK, let's get familiar with each other,"

After inserting the battery into the DV camera, Pew happily unfolded the viewfinder:

"The functions are very simple. This is to zoom in, this is to zoom out, this is... Wardfa!!!"

With the [night vision] function of the DV camera turned on!

Pew's smile disappeared instantly!

In the viewfinder with the night vision function turned on, there was a faint green color!

There is some noise in the not-so-high-definition picture, and the narrow aperture field of view is circular with a faint, bleak green color.

"This is too hellish, Gu Sheng!!!"

now!

Shen Miaomiao, who also saw this scene, couldn't help but scream!

A pair of big eyes looked at Gu Sheng beside him, revealing incredible shock in his eyes.

perhaps!

The scene at this moment is not really horrifying, at best it is like hell.

but!

It was not difficult for Shen Miaomiao to guess the reason why Gu Sheng set this function on the camera!

Don't ask!

Once you get into the mental hospital, it will be pitch black where you can’t see your hand in front of you, forcing players to turn on the night vision function of the camera!

At that time, players can only stare at this small screen intently, trying to find a way out in this extremely dark tone!

And at this time!

What if Gu Sheng designed something weird and it suddenly appeared in your viewfinder?

hiss--!!!

Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but take a breath of cold air!

Not to mention that Gu Sheng set up a living creature.

He could just randomly poke a plastic model in front of the players and probably scare them away!

and!

The most important thing is!

"You set the camera to limited power mode..."

Shen Miaomiao twitched her lips:

"Does this mean that the player is likely to run out of battery while walking on the DV camera?"
