Zai is always the UP master of the Tucao system on Danmaku.com.
With more than 900,000 fans, he has become increasingly famous for complaining about junk games.
His video style is full of humor and his tone of voice is also very funny, so he is widely loved by netizens.
But he is very worried now because he has not updated the video for almost half a month.
Fans are urging him through private messages.
But he is also very melancholy
There is no other, because there is no material.
He searched for a whole afternoon on the game platform, but couldn't find a suitable junk game. Instead, he was exhausted and had a headache.
Just relax, lie on the sofa and browse Danmaku.com.
With that said, he picked up his phone, fell down on the lazy sofa, and opened the barrage website.
As a result, the smart push on the homepage directly pushed a video in front of him, attracting his attention.
【Personal development! Real machine demonstration of the domestic horror game "Dark Forest", with a trial demo]
"Domestic horror games? Haha, they are essentially boring thriller games, right? These days, whoever dares to make horror games will go bankrupt!"
Mr. Zai went to trial without hesitation. Even before watching the video, he already felt that this "Dark Forest" had no future.
Based on his knowledge, in the current game industry.
Personal development is a dead end.
Horror game, dead end.
The combination of the two will result in death and no life.
Good guy, is this Chinese developer so stubborn?
He vaguely remembered that the last small company that made independent horror games had grass growing three feet high.
It has completely become a 'legend' in the gaming industry.
And that horror game also became an 'orphan' for extremely boring reasons.
Therefore, for Mr. Zai, this so-called personally developed game video was purely for fun.
"Huh? God's perspective?"
The video on the screen is playing. On it, there is a protagonist running in the forest with a pitchfork in his hand.
Because of the bird's eye view, the entire map can be seen extremely clearly.
"Well, as far as personal development is concerned, it's pretty good."
The first impression left a good impression on Mr. Zai, which made him want to continue reading.
Moreover, he also wanted to know what the horror was in this so-called horror game.
...
After 4 minutes and 22 seconds, the video finished playing.
Mr. Zai got up from the couch seriously, opened the computer version of Danmaku.com, found the video from the viewing history, clicked on the introduction, and copied the cloud disk link...
start download!
At this time, Mr. Zai took advantage of the downloading period to watch the live demonstration again, and the more he watched, the more surprised and suspicious he became.
Is this really a personal development?
A bit awesome...
Judging from the video, the quality seems pretty good...
I just don’t know what it would be like to experience it firsthand.
Don't let me down, old man!
The cloud disk made a beep, indicating that the game was downloaded.
Because it is just a trial demo, it is not large in size, and his Internet speed is very fast, so it downloads very quickly.
He couldn't wait to unzip it and find the startup program.
Without saying anything else, double-click to open.
Suddenly, the screen went black.
Immediately afterwards, low music slowly sounded, and a simple game menu interface appeared in front of you.
This is a gloomy forest, surrounded by dead trees, and the distance is hazy and mysterious.
In the middle, there is a tree trunk, and above, there are only three simple options.
'Start', 'Settings', 'Exit'.
To be honest, seeing this interface, Mr. Zai felt a little disappointed.
He has been bombarded by countless games at home and abroad, and has seen all kinds of stunning game menus. Now that he suddenly came to such an extremely simple interface, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"Forget it, it's just a trial version developed by myself. What do I ask for? I hope that the next content will be the same as in the actual demonstration."
With that said, he clicked on the settings and raised all the options in it to the highest level.
Then clicked to start the game.
The interface gradually disappeared, and the reading article was loaded.
Above, there are warnings.
'This game is challenging and brutal'
'No one will lend you a helping hand'
'Fear the forest, stay patient and focused'
Zai always disdains this.
"Hey, who are you trying to scare? These days, horror games are just a joke. The real-life demonstration looks good, but I'm afraid it's just trying to sell something like a sheep."
No wonder he said that.
He is famous for complaining about junk games. Naturally, he has played some horror games during his gaming career.
And these games are all promoted with the slogan that they will scare you to death, but what is the result?
It became the material for one complaint after another in his videos.
When the reading of the dark forest ends, the opening animation starts to play.
This made Mr. Zai a little surprised.
Have you even finished the opening animation?
Very ambitious, brother!
It’s just that the opening animation is a bit weird.
It was a huge pupil, taking up two-thirds of the screen, and it was accompanied by a weird melody. The pupil stared at him, making him feel a little chilly.
Then, a striking line appeared below.
'I saw hatred and fear in their eyes. '
In the game, this huge pupil slowly switches, showing many weird pictures.
Some are old faces, some are some inexplicable symbols, and some are naked human bodies with slender limbs.
It seems to be telling the obscure content that will appear in this game.
Zai Zong frowned as he watched.
"What a mess. Pretending to be mysterious."
At this time, along with these scenes, the lines below slowly changed.
'It's like I caused this plague to happen. '
'It's like I'm the source of this plague of pain. '
The scene switched again. This time, disgusting and writhing worms appeared, spread all over the insteps of a pair of feet, crawling slowly.
'I had nowhere to hide, no way to escape, the forest cut us off from the outside world. '
On the screen, another huge pupil was staring directly at him, and from inside, he could see the reflections of two human figures.
Along with it, are the new lines below.
'We're all screwed. '
Suddenly, the pupil enlarged infinitely, filling the screen, and finally a white light flashed...
Two simple big characters appeared in front of him.
Prologue!
Then the game officially begins.
"What Riddler?"
Mr. Zai was stunned.
The animation at the beginning made him confused, and he really had no idea what it was talking about.
But it doesn’t hinder his next play. Since he can’t understand it, just ignore it and play first!
"Okay, it's a mule or a horse. I'll know if I try it myself."
The picture of the game has been placed in front of him intact.
A somewhat bald man woke up from the table. It seemed that he had been sleeping before?
However, this made Mr. Zai's impression score lower again.
"It's 2022, and there's still such a stretched picture? Forget it, personal development, don't be too demanding. It may also be deliberately made to have this pixel-like style. Anyway, let's see if it's fun first."
This is a small room with empty furnishings, messy layout, and looks dirty.
The large carpet was crooked and no longer neat. Several empty bottles and documents were randomly discarded on the ground, ignored.
The desk he was lying on before was covered with documents and papers, and some industrial equipment and crops were piled in the corner.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like...
"Office? Or lab?"
Mr. Zai was not sure. He controlled the character and walked around the room.
Then he discovered that the character felt inexplicably heavy when controlled, as if the character in the game really had weight, and was not as flexible as an FPS first-person shooter.
"It's okay. It's acceptable. At least it won't drift."
This is what he said about it.
Then, he moved the mouse to the desk and displayed the word search, which made Mr. Zai's eyes light up.
This means that the table can be scraped.
He immediately reflexively pressed the left button of the mouse. Suddenly, a simple interface appeared with two items in it.
Medicines and old notebooks!
He didn't pay attention to the medicines, even a fool knew what they were for.
So he selected the notebook immediately, and a close-up picture of a blank notebook without any writing appeared on the game interface.
Rang Zai always frowned a little.
"What is this? Does it have any purpose? And you want to give it a close-up?"
Mr. Zai clicked a few times on his notebook, but nothing happened. He guessed it was just an ordinary collection of props, right?
So he didn't care, clicked close, and continued to look at the small room.
His mouse moved towards the scattered documents on the ground, and the prompt text appeared again.
This is a bunch of medical notes.
Mr. Zai clicked, and the result...
A line appeared at the bottom of the screen.
'I've taken this to heart, there's no need to read it now'
He understood that this game had some elements of decryption.
At least that's the case for now, but judging from the actual demonstration, there are also combat elements.
He is looking forward to it now!
Mr. Zai came to the window, moved the mouse, and the prompt appeared again.
This is a removable reinforced window, which means that the window in front of it is boarded up.
As a horror game, if you reinforce the doors and windows, you will naturally be on guard against monsters.
But can it still be disassembled?
As a player, curiosity always comes first, so he ordered the disassembly without hesitation.
But it turns out...the line comes up again.
'It would be suicide to tear it down now'
Well, it can’t be dismantled.
But he was curious about what kind of danger would come.
So after checking out all the elements of the room, head out!
Suddenly, the map expanded and the entire house layout was revealed.
As Mr. Zai appeared in the living room, the lines below appeared again.
'You need to add some oil to the generator. There is a scrapped tractor in the eastern forest. There should be some oil in it.'
OK!
Is this the first mission goal?
Easy to say, easy to say!
Zai is always happy. With a goal, he won't seem so idle.
"Eastern Forest? That means you have to go out. As a player, before going out, you must first check to see if there are any supplies in the house."
So Mr. Zai began to scrape the house.
Gradually, he discovered that he was controlling a doctor.
Based on the content of the previous opening animation, we can probably conclude that doctors are not popular with patients in the forest.
And doctors also believe that there is no cure for the patients in the forest.
Because there was a prop, such a line came up during the investigation.
'My medical tools, they haven't been sterilized in years. However, there is no cure for the patients here...'
Seeing this, Mr. Zai understood.
"So I play a doctor looking for a way out and preparing to cure patients?"
"Then the game process is to collect various herbs in the forest and then make an antidote? Escape from the forest by the way?"
Mr. Zai pondered for a moment, shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and continued to scrape.
Then he discovered that there wasn't much to collect in this room.
But what makes him noteworthy is that there is a locked room, and a line will appear when it is opened close to it.
'Better not open the door, I had a hard time keeping him in'
This made Mr. Zai very curious.
Who did the protagonist imprison? Monster?
But the current game mechanism prevents him from opening the door, so he can only give up.
There was also a container that required a lock pick to open, which he didn't have either.
There is also an iron door which when opened says: 'Better not go in now'
All these signs indicate that the protagonist he controls is not simple!
There is most likely something hidden inside!
It is known that one of the rooms may contain monsters or humans, and it is also dangerous!
He understood that these doors and containers that could not be opened were obviously preparations for the later stage.
So the main purpose now is to go out and look for oil in the eastern forest.
Without any hesitation, Mr. Zai came directly to the door, pushed it open, and stepped into the forest!
