Chapter 350
In the experience store, Chen Mo sat on the sofa in the lobby, flipping through a book called ‘world supernatural stories’.
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 didn’t have any experience in making horror games, so he was worried that he wouldn’t 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.
“Hey, manager.” Zhao Lei came in from outside the experience store and greeted Chen Mo.
“Oh?” Chen Mo nodded.”You didn’t work overtime today?”
Zhao Lei sat down on the sofa opposite Chen Mo. “”I’m not working overtime. It’s not easy to have two weekends in the past two days. ”
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.
“What book are you reading?” Zhao Lei asked curiously.
Chen Mo lifted the book so that Zhao Lei could see the cover.
“” World supernatural stories “? Manager, how come you’re in the mood to read this kind of book?” Zhao Lei was a little surprised.
Looking for inspiration, Chen Zhao said as he watched. By the way, do you usually play horror games?”
“A horror game?” Zhao Lei thought for a moment.”I’ll play a little too. Horror games are more suitable for emotional adjustment and relieving stress. But I haven’t played many. I’ve only played two or three horror games in China. ”
......
“Oh, I see. Do you have any recommendations?” Chen Zhao asked.
Zhao Lei thought for a moment and said,”recommendation?” 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 don’t require a special plot, games that rely on illusions alone are not that good. ”
“If you want to play, I’ll recommend a game called deserted house. Although it’s not a good game, it’s a VR game and the quality is good. Oh, and most importantly, this game supports two-player mode. ”
Chen Mo put down the book and was interested.””Two-person mode?”
“Yes, two-person mode.” 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. ”
Chen Mo thought for a moment, a horror game designed to torture single people?
“You can say that,” Zhao Lei smiled. The main selling point of this game is that when two people play together, they don’t have to be particularly afraid. They can discuss while playing, and if you can’t pass a place, you can directly use someone else’s save file. It doesn’t have to be a couple, but it can be a brother or sister playing together. ”
Chen Zhao’s interest was extinguished.””What’s the meaning of this? if you skip the parts that can’t be played in horror games, you’ll still have the face to call yourself a horror game?”
Zhao Lei said helplessly,”there’s nothing we can do. After all, the horror games in our country are not as good as those in the U.S. And Japan. It’s difficult to make, the market is small, and it’s not profitable. If we go overboard, we might even be called in by the game Committee. It’s a tough job. Occasionally, there will be a domestic horror game, but it’s basically just a scam. We’ll run away after we make a quick buck.”
Chen Mo put the book back on the shelf.”Come,” he said.”Show me this deserted house.”
“Manager, you want to play?” Zhao Lei was stunned.
Chen Mo nodded,”yeah, let’s see how good the horror games in China are ..”
“Are you going to make a horror game?” Zhao Lei asked in surprise.
“Shh.” Chen Zhao made a “quiet” gesture.
“Alright, I’ll play with you, manager!” Zhao Lei said excitedly.
....
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 didn’t 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 Lei’s gaming pods. It wasn’t 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 Lei’s 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 system’s built-in online communication function could be completed through this number.
“How is it, manager? can we start the game?” Zhao Lei asked.
Chen Mo said,”wait, which mode should I choose?” Is it the awakening style or the complete immersion style?”
“Uh, both are fine.” Zhao Lei said,”you can choose after you enter the game. Different VR games have different rules for these two modes, so there will be an explanation later. ”
“Alright, let’s start then.”
As Zhao Lei chose to start the game, a chat box popped up: “Do you want to start ‘deserted house shock’ with your friend?”
Chen Mo chose ‘yes’.
First, it was the game company’s 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.
historical
“Please choose the game mode.”
“Refreshing 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.”
“Fully 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. ”
“It 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.”
