The players in front of the screen frowned.
These 6 words in the video made them feel that something was not right.
like...
The Control Bureau's plan to eliminate humans is not as crazy as the protagonist No. 2 said...
on the contrary...
The players were stunned. They wanted to find a suitable word, but their poor understanding of the Control Bureau made it difficult for them to judge whether it was correct to eliminate humans.
So, after thinking about it, they still didn't express their opinion. Instead, I am waiting for Brother Banana’s analysis in the video.
Soon, the sound in the video continued.
['For posthumous matters', these 6 words are an email sent by the Control Bureau to all sites around the world. ]
[Players who have played other works of the only game should know that the Control Bureau is a large and unimaginable supernatural mysterious organization. The "Control Failure" we are playing now is just one of the stations of the Control Bureau. ]
[Would such a powerful organization with military, technology and a large number of scientific research talents casually send 6 meaningless words to websites around the world? ]
[Obviously, they won't. In that case, this sentence has an ulterior motive. ]
['Things after death' refers to what happens after a person dies. ]
[The word 'for' can mean purpose or reason. When this word is used in conjunction with 'things after death', then it can be interpreted as 'for things after death'. ]
[In other words,... for those who died...]
[Through the former director who came back from the dead, the Control Bureau learned the secrets of the dead that the living did not know. ]
[As an organization that controls the supernatural, it will definitely understand and study the world of the dead. ]
[The only person in the world who knows the world of the dead is the former director. It is inevitable to cooperate with the experiment. But how to understand the world of the dead? Dying experiments such as hypnosis, suspended animation, and suffocation should be carried out. So we speculate that the former director had a conflict with the Control Bureau over experimental cooperation, which led to his death. ]
[Here, if you have different views on the death of the director, you can send me a private message to discuss it. You are very welcome. ]
[Okay, having said that. As for the Control Bureau, what will it do about this anomaly that causes headaches and hallucinations in living people, and is still affected and tortured after death? ]
[Control? Or destroy? Or research etc? You know, the body of the 'Divine Seal' is under the deep sea crater. Will they dive? Wouldn't you send someone to get closer? Unfortunately, we don't know either. ]
[But we are sure that according to the Control Bureau's style of conduct, it is certain to visit the scene in person. But we don’t know what happened next, because there are really no clues. ]
[Since the game does not tell us any effective actions taken by the control bureau against the body of 'Divine Seal'. Therefore, the following analysis is all our guesses and unofficial explanations. ]
When the players saw this, they sat upright.
I didn't care whether it was a correct explanation or not.
Until the official answer comes out, Brother Banana and the others are the only ones.
At this point, in the video, the explanation continues.
[Before we get started, we have to mention something very outrageous – memes. ]
[At the very beginning, because of the Soul Project, suicides and resignations occurred at the Control Bureau’s headquarters. And they also used memes to prevent suicide and resignation. ]
[So what is a meme? What magical abilities does it have? ]
[Here, I show you where the meme first appeared. ]
At this time, a paragraph slowly appeared in the video.
[Under the order of the Supreme Council of the Control Bureau, this video has been classified as...]
[The most high-confidential]
[Any unauthorized person who accesses this video will be immediately obliterated by the ■■■■meme! If you continue to watch without receiving the appropriate meme vaccine, it will immediately lead to cardiac arrest and death]
【You have been warned】
[Please confirm that you are an authorized person]
The players took a closer look and immediately recognized the passage in front of them, regardless of whether they had played "Control Failure" or not.
Because this is the opening of the CG trailer of "Control Failure"!
This kind of pre-broadcast warning, when it was announced at the time, was so unique and novel that it impressed players deeply.
So much so that even before the game was released, the trailer alone became popular in all gaming communities.
It is said that some people were so frightened that they did not dare to look at the warning.
At this time, Brother Banana spoke.
['Meme', first appeared in the opening warning of the trailer for "Controller". As we can guess from the black block above, there are many types of 'memes'. The cardiac arrest in the trailer is just one of them. ]
[Although this trailer title is a joke by the production team, it also tells us the power of 'memes'. In addition, there are several places in the game where the influence of memes appears. ]
As soon as he finished speaking, a blue handwritten note appeared in front of the player.
The above is a very long article.
But what is thoughtful is that several passages have been highlighted with red pens to highlight the key points.
'Stop your surprise, because I, including everyone who comes here, are just like you. They all came here through the 0970 cycle experiment. '
'You should be wondering now why the loop effect is gone once you get here. '
'Because the 'meme' is applied here, your perception is wrong, and you conceptually think that 0970 does not exist. In fact, the characteristics of 0970 have always existed, otherwise there would not be a steady stream of people like you coming over. '
When the players saw this, they frowned, a little surprised, and a little confused.
For them, this is already confusing.
Brother Banana cleared his throat and spoke in the video.
[This note was found on a corpse in the dormitory area of 'D-10' in the parallel world. ]
[From here, we can learn again. The so-called 'meme' is something that can influence our human thinking and cognition, making our brains forced to accept what this 'meme' conveys to us. ]
[In human terms, 'memes' tell us that 1+1=100, then we really feel that 1+1=100. 'Memes' tell us we can fly, so we really think we can fly. Even if you don't have wings, you can't fly... but your brain has been affected and you think you can fly. ]
[Similarly, if the 'meme' tells you you're going to have cardiac arrest, you really might...]
Brother Banana didn't finish his words, but left some clues to make people suspicious.
When the players in front of the screen saw this, they couldn't help but feel a little horrified.
Nest…
Isn't this thing too scary...
Forcibly changing people's cognitive thinking, so that if I say what this is, you must think it is what it is.
This is simply a killer weapon!
Just when players were horrified by memes, Brother Banana once again gave an example.
[Do you know why the map in the game is so big? In fact, it’s also because of the influence of memes. ]
[In the middle and late stages of the game, we will find a note in an employee's office...]
In the video, a screenshot of the note is shown.
It was handwritten.
'Bastard Maynard! That damn idiot! Just because he proposed the modularization of site areas, the entire site 19 became as big as a maze! I went to get a spare office key and it took me more than an hour! It only took me 5 minutes to ride a horse before! When are those assholes in engineering going to take down this meme! ? What a waste of my time! '
Seeing this, players finally understand why the game map is so big...
Turns out it’s a ‘meme’…
Brother Banana’s voice sounded at this moment.
[From this note, we can know that the scope of influence of 'meme' can be very large, so large that the entire people in Site 19 are affected. ]
['Meme' says, your site 19 is too small, I said it's huge. As a result, everyone on the site thinks it's huge. Including you in front of the screen. ]
[This is also why Site 19 in the parallel world has 'shrunk', because that is the real site size. The one we explore in the game is influenced by 'memes'. ]
I see!
The players suddenly realized.
This meme…
This setting…
It's so cool...
At this time, everything in the video faded away, and the game scene of "Control Failure" appeared.
Then, Brother Banana spoke.
[Now that we know the effect of 'memes', it can explain how the Bureau deals with 'it' in human consciousness. ]
[Note, I still said that because the clues are incomplete. The following content is all our personal speculation and is not an official final explanation. ]
