Ever since the release of Dark Forest, the game has been a love-hate game for players.

Love is because it is fun enough, and the desire to explore survival is directly full, adding a sense of excitement to the ordinary life.

Hate because it's too scary and scary, and the atmosphere is oppressive, and even the side quests make players feel desperate all the time.

The map in the first chapter seems to have only 3 areas: "Dry Grass", "Silent Forest", and "Ancient Forest", which seems to be very small, but as a result, the gameplay elements are piled up all over the map, and there are even some items that are hidden deeply, so that players have walked all over the map in order not to miss the hidden details.

Although the map of the second chapter has only one area, it is large enough, with swamps, new mutated creatures, and labyrinthine ruined villages and more terrifying side quests.

However, no matter how terrifying and difficult the game is, under the huge player base and the passage of time, there are still many people who have cleared the level.

At this time, as long as you search for the keyword 'dark forest', you can jump out a lot of live commentary and screaming customs clearance and so on.

And as more and more people play this game, all kinds of strange ways to play have begun to appear on the Internet.

Like what:

[Learn this trick, you are a night wanderer at night!] 】

[The best defensive strategy on the first night, let you live until dawn without dripping blood!] 】

[Do you want to turn on the lights at night? NO！ Control your physical strength and learn to sprint, and the demons and monsters can only stomp their feet on the spot! 】

[Three years of survival and five years of defense, the old driver will teach you to be the most beautiful boy at night! ] 】

[All blame strategy! ] Explain the various ways to defend against random events at night! 】

…

In this way, as long as players accept the horror game, they will always be able to play the game after the initial horror is over, and they are familiar with the mechanics.

Just when everyone was immersed in the game for a week or two, "Dark Forest" was suddenly updated!

Players were stunned, what's this update?

So they entered the store interface and watched the latest announcements.

Then they froze.

The EA of "Dark Forest" is over, the final chapter is released, and the official version is online!

This news came suddenly, leaving players unprepared.

The game is finished, and it's the official version!?

In fact, it's not that the players are less knowledgeable.

There are many EA games, but each Early Access game has months to develop and refine before it is released.

And some foreign games, even one to two years after the release of EA, the official version is released.

But how long has it been since the release of "Dark Forest" from the launch of EA to the official release?

One month? Two months?

A year? Two years?

No!

It's only been about 3 weeks!

It's less than a month, and the game will be officially released?

Are you sure the final chapter is ready?

Are you sure it's not bugs flying all over the place?

Many players are starting to lose their hearts.

With the release of the official version so soon, it's hard not to guarantee that the final chapter of the game will be sparse, or maybe not finished at all.

Everyone is worried that their favorite games will end up running away, especially high-quality games like Dark Forest.

So those players who have cleared the level have loaded the save of the week to see what this final chapter is like, and whether its quality is as rich as the first and second chapters.

Then, after spending a few hours playing around, players discovered...

The end of the game... The shock is beyond their imagination...

At the end of the second chapter, there are two choices, one of which is to burn the human bark tree and enter the final chapter.

And the final chapter is to leave the forest and embark on the way home.

But the players found that they didn't take a few steps out of the forest and came to the neighborhood where they lived?

Isn't that too fast?

Didn't it say that there was an army outside the forest?

Why is it a residential area as soon as you come out?

And this residential area is also very weird, sparsely populated and gloomy, not to mention, even the neighbors in the past have become a little strange and seem very abnormal.

When players return to their building, they find that there are actually mushrooms from the forest and flowers growing on the tiled floor?

There was also a radio in the basement, and after repeated operations, there was a strange noise from it that was the same as in the forest, repeating 'sleep... Sleep...'.

A blackout ensued, and the basement went dark.

On the way out in the dark, the players also saw something writhing behind an iron gate, which looked very similar to the split-headed monster encountered in the forest.

All kinds of signs made them suddenly understand that Chapter 3 may not be as simple as just going home!

And it's true, many streamers started streaming the gameplay of Chapter 3 immediately after the official version was released.

Countless viewers followed the perspectives of major anchors and entered the third chapter of exploration.

Some entertainment anchors just follow the trend of Chami, such as a two-dimensional leather anchor like Xinxin, she was stupid and didn't have the mood to study the game, so her ending was very simple.

The protagonist returns home, eats, and then goes to bed, and the game is cleared, and that's the end of it.

But some anchors are different, such as Mr. Cub, who began to carefully observe every detail after discovering these abnormal signs in the residential area.

The radio reminds him to sleep, and he doesn't.

Eventually, by accident, he discovered that there were wriggling tree roots under the floor of his house!

So he smashed the floor of the house and found that the roots of the tree stretched from the living room to the bedroom. Under the bed!

It's the bed you sleep in!

Feeling that something was wrong, he knew that there must be something wrong under the bed when he thought that the game was repeatedly hinting at sleep.

So the cub always moved the bed, moved it away, and smashed the floor, and found that there was a bottomless hole in the tree under the bed where he slept!

At this point, he finally understood that there was another ending to the game!

At the urging of the audience in the live broadcast room, he resolutely jumped down.

Then, he discovers the true ending of the game that shocks him...

The game's protagonist, the man in the hat, gets up from the ground naked, and finds himself inside a giant tree full of rock walls and roots.

On the ground crisscrossing the roots of the trees, he found his shirt and hat, but it seemed like a long, long time, rotten and no longer able to wear.

Not only that, but he also found many men and women sleeping naked in the giant tree.

It's like they're stuck in some kind of dream, and they can't wake up.

Some are humming in their sleep, some are struggling in pain, and some are smiling happily.

But more than that, already cold, dead and rotting.

The cub also found that among these people lying on the ground and falling into a dream, there were actually NPCs he had seen in the first and second chapters.

Including the doctor who was manipulated by the prologue, he was also lying on the ground at this time and could not wake up.

The cub always vaguely guessed something, and the deeper he went, the more people were sleeping naked on the ground.

Eventually, he made his way to the center, where he found a large, wriggling, luminescent creature.

Among them, you can faintly see the distorted faces of women hidden inside.

By touching it, he learned that the luminescent creature could emit a state that would trap a person in a state of comfort and anesthesia.

Suddenly, the cub roughly understood what was going on.

It's very likely that the protagonist is controlled by himself, and before the game even starts, he fell asleep here.

And whether it is the prologue, the first and second chapters, and the final chapter, they are all everything that happens to the protagonist in his dreams.

These naked people are also dreaming their own dreams, and the people who die in the dreams are really brain dead in reality.

They are hopeless!

So on the way, the cub found a colleague who was also an investigator, who was holding a flamethrower in his hand, and he could still use it.

Then he snatched it up and began to burn everything.

Luminescent creatures become unstable when exposed to flames.

The people around them who had fallen into a dream also woke up, begging and scolding the protagonist for doing this.

But the cub was unmoved, and burned people along the way, and soon an uncontrollable fire spread.

Eventually, even he himself was wounded and fell to the ground from the blow-up of the flamethrower.

Amid the acrid smoke and endless wails, the cub controls the protagonist as he struggles and crawls on the ground, trying to escape the growing flames.

But in the end, it was just drowned in red.

As the screen fades in, the game comes to an end.

He's cleared!

But the cub did not feel comfortable after clearing the customs, but frowned and fell into contemplation for this ending.

And the audience in the live broadcast room also said that the plot and ending of this game are really shocking, and if you don't look carefully, you won't be able to find the truth at all, and you will never be able to wake up in a dream.

Soon, because of the excellent ending of "Dark Forest" and the live broadcast effect of major streamers, the average number of online users of this game reached an unprecedented number in the history of domestic stand-alone games on the day of the official version update.
