Chapter 4: A chilling prologue
The moment I went out, I saw a scrapped antique car.
When I got close to the investigation, a line appeared.
'It used to be a luxury, but now that all roads have been swallowed up by the woods, it's useless scrap metal'.
The cub probably guessed from the appearance of this car that the background of the game should be in the seventies and eighties.
At the front of the vehicle, there was also a dog house, as well as a black dog that whimpered.
The cub always walked over cautiously, for fear that the dog would be alarmed.
He hadn't forgotten that it was a horror game.
Although I've played some horror games before, they're all rubbish, they don't scare people at all, and I even want to laugh.
However, this gloomy forest, which has performed well so far, has made him want to keep playing.
When he approached the black dog, suddenly, a line quickly appeared.
'My dog, it's not going to live long, I'd better relieve its pain...'
Is this to kill a dog?
The cub looked around.
No weapons?
With bare hands?
After wandering around, because he had no weapons, he temporarily gave up the idea of slaughtering dogs, and planned to go to the eastern forest to find oil first!
So the cub climbed over the fence and into the forest.
It didn't take a few steps before I picked up an axe.
He was pleasantly surprised!
Finally got the weapon!
Now that the monster is coming, I'm not sorry!
So the cub continued deeper with an axe, and was blocked by a huge collapsed tree trunk.
At the prompting of the game, he splits the trunk of a tree with an axe.
New lines soon appeared underneath.
These trees are growing so fast that I can't keep up with the pace of cutting them down." ’
This little caught the attention of the cub.
"Could it be that this game also has a strong ability to regenerate trees?"
"Isn't it possible that the whole world is stuck in the forest...?"
The game has become more and more obsessed with him, even if it is only a demo version, and he feels that the quality is good.
The cub continues to go deeper.
He followed the road and found the carcasses of animals that had long since turned into bones, a mossy Highway 50, and an abandoned hut.
The scene began to unsettle him, as if danger was about to strike at any moment.
And as he progressed deeper, the foliage of the forest became more and more dense.
Slowly, the weird sound effect gradually sounded, so that the fascinated cub couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, nervous...
Horror games are not scary, and sound effects play a large part of the role!
That's always the case with cubs at this time.
This sound effect is like a whisper in his ear, always teasing his emotions.
Keep him in a depressing atmosphere.
In the dim forest, the fog gradually rose.
The cub moved through the fog and entered a narrow path with stone crevices.
And at this moment, a flock of crows suddenly appeared, and with it, there was an incessant flutter of wings and constant screaming.
"it!"
The cub always screams!
This sudden flock of crows caused a lot of movement in the quiet, weird and foggy forest, which directly frightened the highly concentrated cub into trembling and exclaiming loudly!
But it's okay, there is no danger! There is no danger...
The cub immediately picked up speed and ran out of the stone path.
In an instant, the flock of crows in the sky disappeared, as if deliberately.
The forest also regained its tranquility in an instant.
"Pinching the numbness... Isn't this a prologue? Novices will be high-energy, there is no mistake! ”
There is no doubt that the cubs are always scared.
At this moment, he didn't want to play a little.
Although there was no danger just now, no matter who was so frightened, they would have the intention of retreating.
You don't have to play this game, so why bother with yourself...
The cub always looked at the game screen, gritted his teeth, and continued to play.
"As a veteran gamer, it would be a shame if you didn't dare to play the prologue!"
"I can't imagine that a small top-down game can have such a scary technique, producer, you have a kind!"
Then, he was bold enough to continue playing.
After a while, I came to a stone crevice path again.
And this time, after the previous precedent of being taken aback, he half-squinted his eyes and slowly stepped in, ready to meet the second high energy!
But...
High energy is not, and the game suggests that you need to make a torch to get deep into it.
"And torches? Does this game also have a crafting function? With so much content in such a small game, did the developers grasp it? ”
Although the cub said so, he still followed the tutorial, made a torch out, and then carefully stepped into the stone crevice again.
This time, nothing happened.
But the whispering sound in my ears, at some point, grew louder...
The environment also began to get darker and more oppressive.
The towering trees were already a dark shadow, and a mist filled the air.
On the ground, the branches of the trees crisscross and stretch, like blood vessels, which cannot be ignored.
In the narrow and dim crevices of the stones, only the red orange glimmer of torches illuminated the roads around him, giving him a sense of security.
The cub always moves forward under pressure in this tense atmosphere of rapid heartbeat.
"What the hell is the purpose of making the game so depressing!? 's! ”
He cursed like this, but his steps did not stop.
Soon, he finally walked out of this stone crevice, I don't know why, obviously nothing danger happened, but he had a feeling of escaping death...
Even relieved, as if it had experienced a big war...
As he continued to move on, he finally found a corpse in a strange tree full of intertwined branches!
The cub was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyes and stared at it again.
"It's like... Is it an individual? ”
He wasn't quite sure, so he leaned over slowly, and because he was afraid of some high-energy scene, his pace was slow, and he walked timidly.
Soon, a line appeared below.
'In a few days he will be completely absorbed'
Mr. Cub: ...?
What does it mean?
Trees eat people?
This human-looking corpse will be absorbed by the trees?
"! Developer, you have a big brain! Such a large man-eating forest!? ”
The cubs are starting to get chills.
As a veteran gamer, he can shoot everything in first-person shooters, kill the world in action games, dominate in role-playing games, and even take the lead in racing games.
But only horror games don't pay much attention to them because they are too unpopular and garbage, and there are not so many such games on the market.
So in the face of this cannibalistic forest, he sincerely felt uncomfortable.
In his gaming career, he has never been intimidated by so-called horror games, because they are all rubbish.
It wasn't until I played this Gloomy Forest that I realized that the feeling of fear was like this.
And that's just the demo prologue...
Who knows what the full version of this game will look like, and how scary it is?
The cub always looked at the human corpse in front of him, and thought to himself that he had played this job, and he gritted his teeth and had to persevere!
So he went deeper, wanting to see what else was in this cannibalistic forest!
The cub always walked straight along the road, and after a while, it became bright.
This is... Got out of the densest forested area?
Soon, he found a man wearing a hat, bleeding, lying on the ground convulsive.
"NPC!"
"Is there a side quest in the prologue?"
The cub didn't say a word, and immediately stepped forward to talk, only to find that this NPC had fainted.
But as a player, it would be too sorry not to scrape and scrape!
So the cub started to search for this NPC, and actually found a 'big metal key' marked with the number 21 from him.
There are also notes about this key below.
'If there is an exit to the forest, this key must be the key to unlocking it'
Mr. Cub: ...
"I've got the key props?"
Just as he was wondering, the game screen went black.
New cutscenes are out.
It was a dim forest where the road could not be seen clearly.
A man, crouching with his back to him, examines the fallen man.
There is also a line below.
'I've never seen this unconscious man'
When the cub saw this, he immediately understood.
This is the follow-up story of the protagonist encountering this NPC! It's shown in the form of cutscenes!
He didn't shout and kept watching.
In the game, the lines continue.
'All he had with him was a key and a diary'
The next picture shows a somewhat bald man, carrying an unconscious hat man, walking slowly.
'If he can get in, he must know how to get out'
'He's obviously not going to do what I say.'
'But...'
In the picture, there is a needle tube with some unknown liquid inside, which seems to be preparing to inject someone.
When the cub sees this, he thinks that the character he controls is a doctor, and that there are some doors in the room that can't be opened, one of which is still closed with suspected monsters or humans, and then he thinks of the opening scene of the game, and the doctor seems to be excluded.
As soon as these details were combined, he suddenly felt excited.
Made!
Am I not controlling the protagonist of a perverted doctor who is conducting human experiments, right?
Once the idea came to me, it couldn't be stopped.
"Grass! This game is amazing! ”
This is the cub's evaluation based on his own brain.
And in the game, the animation is not over yet, and what appears at this time is a pair of pupils.
And in the pupil, the needle is infinitely magnified.
Along with it, there is the last sentence, which belongs to the doctor's line.
‘... That's not that hard'
