In the experience store, Chen Mo sat on the sofa in the lobby, flipping through a book called âworld supernatural storiesâ.
Chen Mo was much more relieved after getting outlast approved. It was good as long as the game passed the review, and all he had to do was think about how to make it good.
Chen Mo didnât have any experience in making horror games, so he was worried that he wouldnât be able to recreate outlast.
After all, a horror game could only be considered a horror game if it was done well. If it was not done well, it would become a dissing game.
âHey, manager.â Zhao Lei came in from outside the experience store and greeted Chen Mo.
âOh?â Chen Mo nodded.âYou didnât work overtime today?â
Zhao Lei sat down on the sofa opposite Chen Mo. ââIâm not working overtime. Itâs not easy to have two weekends in the past two days. â
Zhao Lei was the salaryman who had tried out The Stanley Parable last time. He worked in a financial company and had to work overtime on the weekends. However, it seemed like the weekend was off. He came to the experience store on Saturday morning.
âWhat book are you reading?â Zhao Lei asked curiously.
Chen Mo lifted the book so that Zhao Lei could see the cover.
ââ World supernatural stories â? Manager, how come youâre in the mood to read this kind of book?â Zhao Lei was a little surprised.
Looking for inspiration, Chen Zhao said as he watched. By the way, do you usually play horror games?â
âA horror game?â Zhao Lei thought for a moment.âIâll play a little too. Horror games are more suitable for emotional adjustment and relieving stress. But I havenât played many. Iâve only played two or three horror games in China. â
......
âOh, I see. Do you have any recommendations?â Chen Zhao asked.
Zhao Lei thought for a moment and said,ârecommendation?â There was really nothing to recommend. The horror games in China are a little too boring. They are basically dreams, illusions, and mental illnesses. Although horror games donât require a special plot, games that rely on illusions alone are not that good. â
âIf you want to play, Iâll recommend a game called deserted house. Although itâs not a good game, itâs a VR game and the quality is good. Oh, and most importantly, this game supports two-player mode. â
Chen Mo put down the book and was interested.ââTwo-person mode?â
âYes, two-person mode.â Zhao Lei nodded. In fact, the so-called two-player mode was just a gimmick. It meant that two people could share the same save file. Because VR horror games are quite scary, the developer of deserted house came up with this idea. Two people can play it together, but the two can communicate at any time and share the Save file at any time. â
Chen Mo thought for a moment, a horror game designed to torture single people?
âYou can say that,â Zhao Lei smiled. The main selling point of this game is that when two people play together, they donât have to be particularly afraid. They can discuss while playing, and if you canât pass a place, you can directly use someone elseâs save file. It doesnât have to be a couple, but it can be a brother or sister playing together. â
Chen Zhaoâs interest was extinguished.ââWhatâs the meaning of this? if you skip the parts that canât be played in horror games, youâll still have the face to call yourself a horror game?â
Zhao Lei said helplessly,âthereâs nothing we can do. After all, the horror games in our country are not as good as those in the U.S. And Japan. Itâs difficult to make, the market is small, and itâs not profitable. If we go overboard, we might even be called in by the game Committee. Itâs a tough job. Occasionally, there will be a domestic horror game, but itâs basically just a scam. Weâll run away after we make a quick buck.â
Chen Mo put the book back on the shelf.âCome,â he said.âShow me this deserted house.â
âManager, you want to play?â Zhao Lei was stunned.
Chen Mo nodded,âyeah, letâs see how good the horror games in China are ..â
âAre you going to make a horror game?â Zhao Lei asked in surprise.
âShh.â Chen Zhao made a âquietâ gesture.
âAlright, Iâll play with you, manager!â Zhao Lei said excitedly.
â¦â¦
Chen Mo and Zhao Lei went to the VR experience area on the third floor and found themselves a VR gaming pod.
The VR gaming pods in the experience store didnât allow the installation of other games, so there was only one VR game in the pod: Minecraft.
Chen Mo used his administrative rights to purchase abandoned house for himself and Zhao Leiâs gaming pods. It wasnât that expensive. There was a two-person version that could directly activate two game pods. It only cost 398 Yuan, which was considered cheap in VR games.
After buying, Chen Mo looked at the player rating, 3.7.
He felt that this terrifying journey was very likely to become a journey of ridicule.
After accepting Zhao Leiâs friend request, the two of them could establish instant communication and chat in the game cabin.
This friend request was a function that came with the VR gaming pod. Each VR gaming pod had a unique number, which was equivalent to the equipment number of the gaming pod. The systemâs built-in online communication function could be completed through this number.
âHow is it, manager? can we start the game?â Zhao Lei asked.
Chen Mo said,âwait, which mode should I choose?â Is it the awakening style or the complete immersion style?â
âUh, both are fine.â Zhao Lei said,âyou can choose after you enter the game. Different VR games have different rules for these two modes, so there will be an explanation later. â
âAlright, letâs start then.â
As Zhao Lei chose to start the game, a chat box popped up: âDo you want to start âdeserted house shockâ with your friend?â
Chen Mo chose âyesâ.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
First, it was the game companyâs LOGO, followed by some fragmented fragments.
In VR, the world Chen Mo saw was pitch black, with only a few scenes and images in the air. These images quickly filled the entire world, up, down, left, right, everywhere.
The scenes were chaotic and complicated. There were murmurs from lips, strange red curtains, dark-colored bloodstains, and corpses that had fallen ...
The scene flashed by.
Chen Mo could tell that the graphics were quite low-level, but it was still quite scary when it was fast.
Then, a system notification appeared.
âPlease choose the game mode.â
âRefreshing experience: in this mode, you can retain the real feeling in the game cabin and can disconnect from the game at any time, which is equivalent to experiencing the game content in a completely sober state.â
âFully immersive experience: in this mode, you will be completely immersed in the world of VR games, similar to a dream. In this mode, you will have a better gaming experience. Disconnecting will be like waking up from a dream. â
âIt is recommended that you experience the game in a completely immersed way, but a completely immersed experience requires a more comprehensive physical examination. If your physical condition is not up to standard, it will be forced to be a wake-up experience.â
