Chapter 264: Multiple Endings
Seeing these lines of subtitles, the barrage was stunned.
"What do you mean? Except for the red light part, they are all adapted from real cases? ”
"And real cases? , does this kind of place really exist? ”
"Damn, what a shit ending, I didn't say what happened to Professor Yang in the end!"
"yes, in the end, I just escaped, shouldn't this kind of scum be cut by a thousand cuts?"
"What a real fart, I don't believe there is such a place in this world!"
The barrage was noisy.
It's quite normal.
Because this ending is really not a good ending.
I didn't know what happened in the end!
The main part of the game is to depict the students of the Science and Technology Defense College living an unbelievably depressed life, of course, this game is indeed terrifying enough, but more depressing.
suppressed for so long, at the end, Zeng Yu and Gao Yongzhou successfully obtained the video evidence of Professor Yang's electrotherapy with mutual cooperation, and then successfully escaped, which should have been a link for suppressed emotions to be released, but many viewers found that the emotions were indeed released, but only half of them were released.
What happened to Professor Yang in the end? Why do you have to be sentenced?
What was the reaction to Gao Yongzhou's manuscript?
Has the Techno-Defense College been banned? Are the children here free?
After going through so much, how is the relationship between Zeng Yu and his father?
These are all questions from the audience and players, but none of them are answered in the game.
At the end of the game, it was just Zeng Yu who escaped from this place in a flying car, and then left a clueless sentence: "Demon, still at large." ”
How can people not be aggrieved??
……
Not only Tang Ying, but other anchors also played different endings.
If you take a little look at it on the Internet, you will find that although the game length of the game "Demons in the World" is not long, and the plot of the game is basically concentrated in the very narrow area of the Science and Technology Defense College, but there are many pits in it and there are many branch plots.
The genre of this game,Strictly speaking, it should be regarded as an interactive movie game,Because the main gameplay of the game,Let the player bring in the identity of Zeng Yu,Choose some correct options in the Science and Technology Defense College,After the selection, the game character will make his own actions。
(In simple terms, this genre is Zhong Ming's "Detroit: Becoming Human" in his previous life.) )
Of course, there are also some other game elements in "Demons in the World", such as a relatively large stealth/horror element, Zeng Yu saw a lot of terrifying monsters under the red light when he fled, and he had to sneak out carefully to promote the development of the plot, which was a challenge for players.
But overall, the most important thing in the game is to make the right choices.
Depending on the player's choice, there will also be multiple endings in the game, and most of these endings are bad endings.
First of all, there are two key data, stress and health. If these two key data exceed the warning line for a certain period of time, then the plot will be terminated directly and go to a bad ending.
[Sudden Death Ending]: If you keep making mistakes and have been electrocuted, resulting in low health value, you will die suddenly when you are running or being electrocuted, and you will die after rescue is ineffective. Zeng Yu's father angrily went around asking for explanations and suing the Science and Technology Defense College, but it didn't make sense anymore because Zeng Yu was dead.
[Psychotic Ending]: Being electrocuted, or being caught by monsters many times when escaping at night, will greatly increase the stress value. When the pressure value is too high, Zeng Yu will completely collapse and be transferred from the Science and Technology Defense College to a mental hospital, where Zeng Yu is like a walking corpse with dull eyes and can barely communicate with people normally. And Zeng Yu's father insisted that he was not wrong, saying that he did not regret sending Zeng Yu to the Science and Technology Defense College.
Many anchors found out by mistake that Zeng Yu actually had a certain chance of escaping without the help of reporters, but this ending is obviously not the true ending officially approved.
In the process of Professor Yang's treatment of the students, there is a certain probability that the entire Science and Technology Defense College will be cut off, and at this time, the power grid will lose its effectiveness, and Zeng Yu can directly climb out of the wall. But this behavior is extremely dangerous, and even if it is successful, then there are only three possibilities:
The first is that he was quickly captured by the Einsatzgruppen, and then he was electrocuted for a night in a "special session", and his health value dropped sharply and his stress value increased significantly.
The second is to die in the wilderness, in order to avoid the capture of the special team, Zeng Yu hid everywhere in the wilderness, hungry and cold, and no one answered, he couldn't get to the nearby city on his two legs alone, and finally died in the wilderness.
The third is a very small probability of successful escape, Zeng Yu successfully evaded the capture of the Einsatzgruppen and went to a nearby city. But at the end of the ending, Professor Yang and Zeng Yu's father both reported Zeng Yu to the Public Security Department as a missing person, and the results can be imagined.
In addition to these endings, there are a few other endings.
The key turning point in the game is whether Zeng Yu chose to go out with Han Tao.
If you go out, although you will be electrified, you can unlock the plot of Han Tao as the class committee member next, then Zeng Yu can live in a room alone.
If he didn't go out, then Zeng Yu would have been discovered and reported by Han Tao if he tried to escape at night, and it would have been almost impossible to escape.
In this way, Zeng Yu can only continue to work hard in the Science and Technology Defense College until the end of two months, and "release at the end of the period."
At this time, the game will decide the next ending according to Zeng Yu's various values.
[The Walking Dead Ending]: High obedience, low resistance, high pressure. Zeng Yu lived like a walking corpse, and after he came out, he still retained his bitter fear of the Science and Technology Defense College and Professor Yang, in the eyes of his father, he became an extremely "sensible" and "obedient" child, looking at Zeng Yu, his father showed a satisfied smile. Later, Zeng Yu's father sent a pennant to Professor Yang, and praised Professor Yang when he met people, saying that Professor Yang was a "reincarnation miracle doctor" and "kindness and recreation".
[Patricide Ending]: Low obedience, high resistance, and high pressure. After coming out of the Science and Technology Defense College, Zeng Yu seemed to be a different person, silent, but at least he would not quarrel with his father again. But after his father comfortably took Zeng Yu home, Zeng Yu went directly to the kitchen and took a table knife, stabbed him more than 20 times, and stabbed his father to death in a pool of blood.
At the end of this ending, there is a picture of Zeng Yu in prison. A reporter was interviewing him and asked him why he killed his father and if he regretted it.
Zeng Yu replied: "No regrets." I endured it for so long, just for these knives after I came out. ”
[Cycle ending]: high obedience, low resistance, low pressure. After coming out of the College of Science and Technology Defense Specialization, Zeng Yu seemed to be on the right track, in the eyes of his father, he became an obedient and good boy, and like the class leader Wang Rui, he became a "boutique" in Professor Yang's mouth. Zeng Yu often returned to the College of Science and Technology Defense to attend the review class and the psychology lecture hall, telling the children there about his mental journey, and sincerely thanking Professor Yang for his kindness and reconstruction.
A few years later, Zeng Yu's child did not study seriously, and was also sent to the Science and Technology Defense College by Zeng Yu.
[Disguised Ending]: Low obedience, high resistance, and low pressure. After coming out of the College of Science and Technology Defense Specialization, Zeng Yu seemed to be on the right track, studying seriously, honoring his parents, and becoming a "child of someone else's family" among relatives and friends.
A few years later, Zeng Yu sent his father to a nursing home because of his busy work. It's just that it is said that in that nursing home, the abuse of the elderly is very serious......
……
After watching these endings, players have only one idea.
Crazy, this is!
Zhong Ming is going crazy!
Such a lot of endings, all of them are bad endings!
Some endings look good on the surface, but once you've played the game, you'll know that these endings are downright sad.
For example, at the end of the cycle, Zeng Yu suffered inhuman torture, and he really agreed with Professor Yang's approach, became a "good child" in the eyes of his father, and even sent his own child in. This ending is even more unacceptable than the ending of killing the father!
Of course, the good news is that there is finally a real ending.
Although the trigger conditions for the true ending are extremely harsh, it is a happy ending that is acceptable to everyone.
At the end of the true ending, Zeng Yu got the key evidence of Professor Yang's abuse of the students, and escaped from the Science and Technology Defense College with the help of Gao Yongzhou.
It is nothing more than Gao Yongzhou exposing this video, which caused an uproar on the Internet, and under the attention and condemnation of netizens, some official institutions intervened in the investigation, and Professor Yang and the main person in charge of the institution were arrested, detained, and handed over to the law; And the children here have finally escaped from their cages and gained their freedom......
Of course, these are all made up by enthusiastic players, and the final ending of the game "Demons in the World" is an open-ended ending, and there is no mention of these things at the end.
……
After the official release of "Demons in the World", a large number of players poured in.
Shimmer Studio's own channels, there are many players who entered the pit from "Taiwu Picture Scroll" or earlier, and some people have been diverted; On the MGC2 handheld platform, Lin Xiaoguang gave a lot of recommendations and reversed a group of players; The publicity of the anchors and the spontaneous discussion and diffusion of some players on the Internet have also brought a certain amount of heat to the game.
Soon, the first scores were released.
6.5 points!
Many players who haven't played the game think that they are wrong, with such a low score?
It's unreasonable!
When has Shimmer Studios ever made a game with a score of less than 9?
The previous games, whether it was a simple text adventure game "Latent Red Path", or "Zodiac Guardian", which can directly compete with the world's masterpieces, were basically well received after being launched, and they could easily get a high rating of more than 9 points.
Even many people feel that for Zhong Ming, getting a high rating is indeed as simple as drinking water and peeing.
But look at the score of the new work, this word-of-mouth ......
Collapsed??
Click on the negative review page, and it is not difficult to find out what players are dissatisfied with this game:
"This game has no beginning or end? I have been suppressed for so long, and I finally escaped, and my emotions were released, but I was halfway through the release! What about the back? If you click so much, is it possible that Professor Yang is in prison for the player's brain to make up for it??? If you have an ending, you can give 8 points, and if you don't, you can only give 6 points! ”
"I entered the pit with "Zodiac Guardian", and after playing this game, I was very disappointed, very, very disappointed! What's the point of this game? Is it just to abuse players and make them suffer? It's true that this is well done, and the game gives me a serious sense of discomfort from start to finish, but I play the game just for fun, not for abuse! ”
"The label is 'horror', and it does have horror elements, but it's obviously not the same way as ordinary horror games. Well, there is a sense of nondescriptry. ”
"I think the most unacceptable thing is the rationality of the game. That's! How could such a sick institution exist under the nose of the Public Security Department for so long? So many parents still sent their children inside and sent pennants??? Is there still a little bit of logic left by the game makers? ”
"Indeed, this is simply not reasonable, and it feels like a similar institution has been forcibly fabricated to shape this feeling of despair."
"I don't know what Zhong Ming's situation is, why do you want to make such an inexplicable game and deliberately block players?"
The other bad reviews are basically the same opinion.
First, the game is not fun, not only is it not fun, but it can even be said to cause serious discomfort.
Second, the game is unreasonable, such an institution has existed for so long, and parents are very supportive and send pennants! Moreover, some of the plots in the Science and Technology Defense College, such as adding circles, electrotherapy, mutual supervision, etc., also make these people feel unbelievable and a little too much.
Compared with fantasy horror games, such as some zombie-themed horror games, "Demons in the World" is not scary enough.
But if compared with things in reality, "The Devil in the World" is terrifying, but it seems too nonsense.
Therefore, many people play the beginning, or just give the game a star directly after clearing the cloud in the evening.
And on the web, #微光工作室新游戏口碑崩盘#则是很快成了一个热点话题.
The average score of the game produced by Shimmer Studios is 9 points, and this one has an average score of just over 6 points, which is obviously a crash, and it collapses badly.
And under such circumstances, even if "The Devil in the World" only sells for ten yuan, the sales will definitely not be good. Because this era is an era of rapid word-of-mouth, just like movies, no matter how strong the lineup is, it will be a day at most. On the second day, after all kinds of word-of-mouth come out, it will spread and spread at a very fast speed, and the audience will not buy tickets anymore.
For a while, many fans of Shimmer Studio sighed.
