Almighty Game Designer Chapter 1155: A suffocating nightmare
"Ah, I see! This stone must be used to smash the monster to death, that's it."
Lin Xue picked up the stone on the ground, touched the monster quietly, and then directly moved towards the monster's head!
"Papa!"
Lin Xue's accurate head is not good at throwing. The stone flew over the monster's head, hitting it in the distance with a clear sound.
The baby-looking monster immediately let out a harsh scream and ran towards the place where the stone was!
Lin Xue was stunned for two seconds: "Huh? Is the stone used like this? Cough, it's almost the same..."
Xue Lin was afraid after a while. She thought she hit this monster with a rock. If it hits it, wouldn’t it be cold...
Fortunately, the stone drew the monster away, so Lin Xue hurriedly continued walking inside.
After knowing the correct way to play this game, Lin Xue's progress was much faster, but this process is still scary.
To put it simply, the gameplay of this game is to allow players to use sound waves to explore the road, turn around in a dark environment, avoid those forks, open various organs, and get out of this level.
In the level, there will be many terrifying monsters. These monsters are of different types, but they all have in common, that is, they will judge the player's location based on the sound.
Every time the player walks, wades, or claps his hands to explore the road, these monsters will scream and rush over, putting great psychological pressure on the player.
At this time, the player needs to use some special methods, such as throwing stones to divert these monsters away, and then take the opportunity to open the mechanism to escape.
Hardness has no future, a few lives are not enough to die...
There are two kinds of scenes in the game. One is realistic scenes, such as the protagonist’s home, office, orphanage, etc. These scenes are made with real textures and modeling, there are no monsters in it, and no echo is needed. , But there are some mobile phone elements.
For example, the newspaper of that year, the brochure of the orphanage, the letter written by the wife to the protagonist, these are all collected elements, suggesting to the player the background of the game.
Through these scattered collection elements, players can roughly guess the identity and background of the male protagonist.
Another scene is the Echo Pathfinder scene, such as the absolutely dark cave.
Such scenes are often cramped and narrow, and there is absolutely no light source. You can only see everything around you through echo.
These scenes are full of various monsters. Players must walk forward with trepidation, use their voices to fight against these monsters, and then enter the next scene.
These two scenes are constantly alternating, making the player's spirit sometimes tense and sometimes a little relaxed. Under such a rhythm of relaxation, the player can keep on playing while gritting his teeth while being highly nervous.
"This game knows how to make progress gradually. Every time I think about quitting immediately, I ended up playing here..."
"Wait a minute, I'll throw a stone to find a way...huh?! This monster is invisible!!"
Lin Xue threw out a stone and found that a red phantom had moved to the place where the stone was almost instantaneously, and then disappeared!
Obviously, as the progress of levels continues to advance, the difficulty of the game continues to rise.
The new monster is invisible, which means that the afterimage can only be seen for a moment when it is moving, and it is usually impossible to see where it is.
Furthermore, the level of complexity has also increased. Lin Xue not only has to constantly avoid monsters and detours, but also opens up various complicated mechanisms.
Most of these mechanisms are valves or gates. Every time they are opened, they will make a harsh sound, attracting monsters.
So Lin Xue could only lead the monster away by throwing rocks crazily in advance, and then dared to open these organs after calculating the distance.
What's more disturbing is that throwing stones to divert monsters away is also very risky.
Because the deeper the level, the more sensitive the monster's hearing, and even the sound of ordinary footsteps will attract them.
Lin Xue can only walk quietly or squat, walking forward slowly, not daring to make any noise.
The surrounding environment can only be determined by the sound of water droplets and the screams of monsters. In many cases, it is blind throwing stones.
If one does not pay attention and throws a stone on the wall in front of him and bounces back, it will be cold...
Under such continuous mental torture, Lin Xue even insisted on playing all the way down, even she herself felt very shocked.
As the level continued to advance, Xue Lin began to gain more clues.
The protagonist once tried to adopt a child, but he did not finish it for some reason.
The leader of the company once wrote to the actor, asking him why he was absent-minded recently, and he had to take a long vacation to adjust his mood.
It seems that major changes have occurred in the hero's home. After the vacation, the hero performed well, and the company is considering promoting him to chief designer.
At the same time, Lin Xue also found a large number of drugs for depression in the actor's home. These drugs were actually banned in the early 1990s, because excessive use can cause suicidal tendencies.
Finally, after a long journey, in the distorted and terrifying memory~IndoMTL.com~ the protagonist once again experienced the past with his wife, and finally came to a rooftop.
On the rooftop, the protagonist’s wife jumped down and left him forever.
At that moment, Lin Xue's field of vision was instantly blue-screened, a certain program was being restarted urgently, and finally a dialog box popped up.
[Requires manual restart]
[Y/N]
By now, Lin Xue has understood that, in fact, all this is just a virtual world.
The male protagonist and his wife are about to have a lovely baby after they get married. They have even started preparing for pregnancy, but they have miscarried because of an accident. They wanted to adopt a child, but in the end they were unsuccessful. The wife committed suicide by jumping off the building because of depression. Only the male protagonist was left with this nightmare forever.
Lin Xue chose not to restart.
This time, the actor wakes up in a room full of servers, behind him is a virtual reality device.
Here is his home, but it's already full of servers.
Only a crib in the corner is left, which reminds people of the warm and happy home before.
After his wife died, the actor worked hard and made a lot of money. He bought a lot of servers and virtual reality equipment to create an illusory dream for himself, allowing him to return to that happiest time.
However, this dream is not happy, because the guilt in the actor's heart has not let him go, and his dream has become a terrifying nightmare.
A whole number of ten years have passed, and for the first time the male protagonist has emerged from this endless nightmare.
However, just when Xue Lin thought that the actor had let go of all this and accepted his wife's death calmly, he opened the door and walked out.
"Wait for me...I'm looking for you..."
