Basically, three days after outlast was released, most of the streamers who were willing to play horror games had already played the game and were so scared that they peed their pants. Some enthusiastic players even edited the highlights of the streamers and posted them on the internet. The audience had no interest in teasing the streamers.
No one knew who started it, but everyone suddenly realized that they should let Chen Mo play outlast! How could he forget about such a terrifying game?
Even though Chen Mo was a top player in both Warcraft and League of Legends, horror games were different. They didnât test oneâs micro-control or reaction speed, but oneâs inner calmness. Chen Mo really couldnât get used to it.
After all, a few big streamers of League of Legends had peed their pants in outlast.
A lot of people were imagining Chen Mo panicking in outlast after acting cool in Warcraft and League of Legends, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt it was too beautiful to look at!
It didnât take long for all the invitations to be pushed to the top, and many people sent private messages and left messages on Weibo, tagging Chen Mo all sorts of times, wanting to see him play outlast. He used all kinds of threats and promises.
However, most of the players knew that the chances of blowing Chen Mo out were slim, because he didnât need to consider the audienceâs preferences or the effects of the show. He didnât even turn on his mic when he livestreamed League of Legends.
With his popularity, he could easily stream League of Legends with millions of viewers, but what about Chen Mo? He just didnât broadcast it. Ever since he reached the top, he had never appeared on the live streaming platform again.
Why would a person like him take the risk of peeing his pants to broadcast outlast?
Slowly, they lost their hope because Chen Zhao didnât respond at all.
In the end, to everyoneâs surprise, Chen Mo actually posted on Weibo!
âOutlast will be livestreamed at 12:00 tonight. Everyone, come and watch. This game isnât scary at all.â
The onlookers were dumbfounded. What the hell? Chen Mo was really going to livestream outlast?
......
Could it be that our persistent messages and private messages touched him, and our sincerity finally broke through?
However, Chen Moâs choice of time was really awkward. Broadcasting outlast on midnight, was he trying to scare people to death?
Very quickly, some players expressed that they were determined not to watch it! This was definitely Chen Zhaoâs scheme! It would definitely be scary to watch an escape on 12 at night!
However, some players said that it was already good enough that Chen Mo was willing to broadcast outlast, why was he being so picky? Besides, horror games should only be played late at night for it to feel good!
The news spread like wildfire, and outlastâs popularity skyrocketed as it flooded all streaming platforms and video streaming sites. The combination of Chen Mo and outlastâs hot topics made the players âanticipation for the live stream reach a peak!
â¦â¦
At 11:50 that night, a large number of viewers gathered in Chen Moâs stream, chatting in the dark.
The timing was just right, most of the famous streamers were already resting, some of them would continue until 1 pm, but the audience was already sick of it, so they decided to join Chen Moâs stream.
âWhereâs Chen Mo? Why arenât they here yet?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIt shouldnât be time yet,â
âDo you guys think Chen Zhao will stand us up?â
âThatâs impossible. Chen Mo has always been on time for his livestreams. Heâs never stood anyone up.â
âEh? There was a picture! Itâs here, itâs here!â
An image of a VR gaming pod appeared in the livestream room. It was the login interface of outlast.
The audience was immediately excited. With Chen Moâs live stream, many viewers received a notification and the number of viewers instantly increased!
âWow, Chen Mo wonât turn off his microphone like he did in League of Legends, will he?â
âThatâs possible. Itâd be embarrassing if he screamed while playing. I think Chen Mo might just turn off the microphone.â
âI really want to hear Chen Zhaoâs screams!â
While the comments were still going on, Chen Mo finally spoke.
âHello? Can you hear me?â
After getting an affirmative answer, Chen Zhao continued,ââA lot of people have been sending me private messages recently, telling me that outlast is too difficult to play and too scary. Thatâs why Iâm doing a live stream today to demonstrate the game to everyone. â
âDonât be afraid, everyone. This game isnât scary at all, even though I havenât really played it after it was made. But! I can guarantee with my integrity as a video game designer that this horror game is only above average in my mind. In fact, itâs just a low-budget adventure game with a bit of puzzle-solving nature. Itâs not as scary as everyone thinks it is. â
Chen Mo yawned.âJust in time. Iâm a little sleepy. Letâs clear the game and go to sleep.â
The audience was speechless. He still didnât forget to show off at this life and death moment?
âNot scary at all? Iâm afraid youâve lost your mind from bragging, right?â
âOnly slightly above average? Iâve played a lot of horror games overseas, but I donât think thereâs anything scarier than this one, okay? Then, what do you think a horror game thatâs extremely scary looks like?â
âYawning? wow, it feels like a ruthless provocation to my mountain mental hospital!â
âClear the game and then go to sleep? Very good, the FLAG has been raised. Iâll play with you until tomorrow morning!â
Chen Moâs bragging drew the merciless ridicule of the audience, but he didnât care, because he couldnât be bothered to look at the comments.
Chen Mo chose a new game, but unlike other streamers, a difficulty menu popped up.
âBecause the easy difficulty is boring, I used my developer privileges to make some changes. Letâs play the crazy difficulty.â
Chen Mo chose the âcrazyâ difficulty and entered the game.
The bullet screen instantly exploded!
âWhat the f * ck? Crazy difficulty! Chen Mo is crazy!â
âF * ck, you can play with this crazy difficulty? Many hosts donât want to play it a second time after clearing the easy difficulty!â
âChen Zhao really is a little death-seeking expert. Alright, seeing as youâre so brave, I wonât pursue the matter of you acting cool just now. Iâll wait for you to be taught a lesson by all kinds of monsters!â
Outlast had four difficulty levels: easy, hard, nightmare, and crazy. In the beginning, the players started with the easy difficulty by default, and they could only challenge higher difficulties after clearing it.
The higher the difficulty, the less battery the DV camcorder could carry, and the higher the damage of the monster. Many live streamers had already been tortured by the hard difficulty after clearing the easy difficulty, let alone the crazy difficulty.
However, what was even more explosive was yet to come.
After Chen Mo chose crazy difficulty, a chat box popped up.
[Are you crazy?!] The crazy mode will give you the ultimate heartbeat experience, the highest difficulty, and there is no saving point. If you die, all progress will disappear, and you have to start from the beginning. [Are you really ready to be abused?]
Chen Mo chose [yes] without hesitation.
He also explained,âthis hint is just to scare people. Itâs actually not that difficult.â Oh, but at this level of difficulty, there really isnât a saving point. This is true. â
There was another wave of comments. The audience watching the live broadcast was stunned. No save point? Then what the hell!
Wouldnât that be the same as âexcavating the earth for Ascensionâ? Get killed by the last BOSS and start over? All the games he had played before would be nullified?
F * ck, this game can be played like this? It was too F * cking exciting!
