The night sky is silent.

Even though it was early in the morning, the air was still a little hot. With the still warm evening breeze, a light rain began to fall.

For a country far from the continental shelf and an isolated island on the world map, weather anomalies caused by the uncertain sea are already commonplace.

The Meteorological Bureau, which worked all night, was relieved when an emergency inspection found that it was nothing more than a light rain caused by a change in the direction of the sea breeze. After the person in charge sorted out the news a little, he sent it to the internal mailbox of the morning news column, and prepared to notify the citizens watching the program when the time came.

On such an ordinary evening, Nagasawa Ming, who claims to be a "veteran gamer", is not in a calm mood.

** With his feet and half-squatting in his chair, he stared at the screen with his eyes stunned, staring directly at the small window of 800×600 that is too narrow for the current personal computer, and his heart swelled with turbulent waves.

Looking at the picture that although it is impossible to express the facial expressions of the characters in detail due to the limitations of the game engine, Nagasawa still keenly captures the snickering expression of the blonde girl after the witch died under Viola's father's gun through the actions of the characters.

Releasing his somewhat numb legs, Nagasawa sat down on the chair, as if he wanted to abandon all the intricate thoughts in his mind, exhaled a long breath of turbid air in his chest, and stared at the game in front of him that had cleared the level again.

He couldn't remember how many weeks it was, but after watching the same ending several times, Nagasawa even created a new text file to record the plot he encountered in the game, all the items that could be collected, and the reminder note given by the maker, and finally found a cabinet on the first floor that had been marked with the words "can only be opened when the house is restored to its original state".

Here I have to mention the bad taste of the game "Witch's House".

Compared with the usual solution, which will produce different endings due to the player's different choices during the game, the dividing line between the true end and the normal end of "Witch's House" is because of a prop. And this key item can't be picked up in the previous game journey, but has to be obtained by going around the room on the first floor with the aforementioned cabinet when the final chase is driven all over the house.

But here I have to admire the original author's ingenious conception - in the chase battle, the furniture in the room seems to be blocking Viola controlled by the player, but in fact it is blocking the witch chasing madly behind the player, which also hints at the truth of the game's plot to a certain extent.

After pondering this hint carefully, Nagasawa Ming turned his attention to the final chase battle suspiciously - if this castle can be considered "restored to its original state", the only scene when the chase battle is very different from the previous one is the most likely, after all, there are two floors missing.

So Nagasawa read the save file before the chase and started trying.

Apparently in the middle of a tense chase, he had to make a detour to another room, with one hand manipulating the arrow keys and the other hand on the space bar at any time, trying to test his idea.

After several attempts, Nagasawa finally got his wish and got his wish to get the key prop of TE - a knife.

So, in the end, he saw the true ending of the "Witch's House" with satisfaction and healing.

After digesting the shock and sense of astonishment brought to him by the true ending, Nagasawa Ming rubbed his somewhat stiff wrist, felt the clear mind of the mind without a trace of sleepiness, sighed, created a new document, and began to edit his mental journey of clearing the customs.

An hour later, 2ch's indie game section quietly added an article titled "Every time you die is a game of he?" - "Witch's House" customs clearance review".

……

The time backtrack ends, two days later.

Jiang Yu had an expression that fell into sage mode, staring blankly at the computer screen. Even if the thought of "I'm just going to think about the game production in the next month" just crossed my mind, the sense of self-satisfaction and emptiness that I had accomplished something for a while made it difficult for him to be motivated to do something else right away.

"Then ...... Let's take a break......"

Muttering like this, Jiang Yu got up and walked to the bookshelf next to him, took out a book he hadn't read at random, and began to pass the time.

At the same time, An Yilun was also at home.

After finishing the morning newspaper delivery work, Lunye, who went home and slept for less than two hours, was noisy by the alarm clock he had set in advance.

There was a meaningless murmur in his mouth, and Lun also fumbled to turn off the alarm clock, and then struggled to get out of bed, and there was still a little reluctance on his face that looked handsome unexpectedly after taking off his glasses.

Lun also glanced at the "Goal - 1 million!" posted on the side of his bookshelf. He patted his cheeks, tried to sober himself up, and sat down in front of the computer after washing up quickly.

While waiting for the phone to turn on, he pulled out his phone and flipped through his blog. After two days of fermentation, the article about the "Witch's House" has become quite popular, and the messages under it can be roughly divided into four categories, except for the meaningless "front row" and the like.

The picture quality party that was defeated when he saw the game screen、The hand party that has a certain interest but asks him directly for a strategy、The hand remnant party who quit the teddy bear after playing,And the "ITM blown up" file that was amazed by the game after clearing the level。

Len also raised his eyebrows in surprise, although he thought that the completion and quality of "Witch's House" were quite high, but for players who have experienced the next-generation game graphics and even real VR games, is such a game really so easy to accept?

But he thought about himself again, and at that time he himself was also addicted to this game at once, and he could understand how the last group of tap water came out.

Whether it is a pure gamer or a follower, he is always stingy with the game to others.

He seemed to understand the word "playfulness" that his friends occasionally talked about. As a loyal galgame player, Len is undoubtedly a graphics party himself, but he can also immerse himself in this game with a short process and an unexpectedly large amount of information, and finally be amazed by the reversal of the ending.

But......

Glancing at the message asking for a strategy, Lun also showed a strange smile and muttered: "Even if the true ending is played, ordinary people can't play the other two endings, right?" Those two are the ones who really reveal the inside story and are full of irony......"

He's referring to the one-life finish and the one-hour end.

The former one must not have any dialogue with the black cat during the entire game process, that is, no archive, and go all the way to the witch's room, which can trigger a hidden dialogue with the black cat, revealing the truth of the entire game - that is, from the beginning, Viola and Elaine have already exchanged bodies.

The most profound manifestation of this is that in the archive position, the "witch's room" will become "my room", which makes people drink snow water like winter, from the body to the heart.

The latter is a player who has played the first three endings, and only the player can understand the ironic ending. At the beginning of the game, the player can control the character to move around and talk to the black cat...... As long as you don't switch scenes and keep the game window at the top, after an hour, the Rose will disappear on its own.

This just confirms the sentence in the mouth of the black cat, "Actually, it's okay if you don't go back, she will die after a while anyway...... so the essence of this ending is to drag time to consume the dying real Viola to death.

Another thing that Lun also thinks is cleverly set up is that in the front room of the throwing knife corridor on the third floor, there is a note not to look around. If you read the note, you will naturally only be able to walk in a straight line, and if you don't, you will be able to move left and right to find some hidden information.

And Jiang Yu's "Witch's House" is on par with the final version of the original work, and the decision of whether or not to read this note was thrown directly to the public archive, which means that as long as there is an archive in the root directory and read the note, you can't see some information about the inside story of the plot on both sides of the flying knife corridor.

Therefore, Lun didn't type this out himself, it was when he communicated with Jiang Yu later, and the other party told him the information. After all, for a normal puzzle game, it is common sense to read every hint, and this leads to this small piece of hidden information that no one should be able to discover for the time being.

Thinking of this, Lun also patted his head and logged in to the 2ch forum directly with the computer he had just turned on, ready to see how the "Witch's House" reacted on it.

The status of 2ch in Japan is equivalent to the social networking sites such as Tianya and Tieba in the last world, and it can be roughly seen how popular a certain thing is on the Internet.

After typing in the keyword search jump, a three-page discussion thread appeared in front of Lun's eyes, which is quite impressive for a free-to-play indie game that has just been on the Internet for only two days.

And one of the most popular posts is called "Every time you die is the game of he?" - "Witch's House" customs clearance brief comment", because 2ch allows anonymous speeches without registration, so there is no way to see who this post is from. However, after a cursory glance at the article, Lun also decided that this should be a pure gamer and otaku.

"Sure enough, most people can only play the two endings of e?"

Lun also thought about it, picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Jiang Yu.

Taki: "Ah Yu, do you mind if I reveal the complete strategy of the game on the Internet?"

A reply was received shortly after.

Tu Su: "You look at it, to be honest, I'm not very good at propaganda things, if you think it's appropriate, just send it out."

Taki: "Okay, then I'll take care of this myself."

Tu Su: "Please."

After the conversation ended, Len also looked at the discussion board, raised his eyebrows, and began to start a new discussion thread, which naturally contained the other two game endings that no one has mentioned yet.

Of course, he is not ready to release all the news at once, whether it is from the perspective of propaganda or his own bad taste, of course, it is the best choice to release the news little by little. The first thing he released was the one-life clearance ending.,This ending, plus the content of the first two endings.,It's almost possible to fully understand the entire game plot.,As for more hidden content,Naturally, it's going to be handed over to the vast number of netizens.。

It seems that unconsciously, Lun has also changed from the position of consumers to the position of creators, should it be said that it is gratifying? Or is it really a remnant?

……

After putting down the light in his hand, Jiang Yu rubbed his eyes, glanced at the time on his phone, and suddenly realized that it was already noon. Patting his numb legs, he stood up and headed to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

“——！”

However, as soon as he opened the door, Jiang Yu was so frightened that he took a big step back, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Shiina Mahaku, who was standing at the door of his room indifferently for some reason.

Gently stroking his chest twice, and suppressing his heart, which was beating violently twice due to the sudden situation just now, Jiang Yu licked his lips and asked in a difficult voice, "Is there something looking for me, Shiina?" ”

The girl shook her head when she heard this, and then nodded again, which made Jiang Yu so confused. After thinking about it, he continued: "Speaking of which, I've been so busy these days that I forgot to ask you, did you pass the make-up exam successfully?" ”

This time, Shiina Mashiro spoke, and said in a light tone: "Passed." ”

"Uh, that's it......" Jiang Yu glanced at the girl who was directly blocking the door with some distress, hesitated for a moment, and then discussed, "Shiina, if you have anything, can you talk about it after eating?" Now may you let me prepare lunch? ”

The girl in a pink and white dress rolled her eyes, nodded slightly, and moved away.

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, made a wrong step, sideways avoided the small place occupied by the girl, and walked towards the kitchen, at the same time he also secretly wondered in his heart: The matter of the manga seems to be on the right track, what is there to discuss with Shiina?

At the same time, looking at Jiang Yu's back, Shiina Mahaku remembered the advice that Chihiro Senishi told her on the day of the make-up exam, and there were slight waves in the eyes of Furui Wubo.

"Although I personally support you from the bottom of my heart, if you can't get grades at all, your father's side will be in trouble, right? And since you came here under the pretext of coming to Japan to find inspiration, it's only natural that you have to accumulate a variety of experiences...... So, when you go back, please ask that kid to take you out to play, right? "Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books!
