The game begins.

The gloomy background slowly rises with its mist and there are two options in the dark interface.

Classic Mode/Soul of Steel

"Soul of Steel? Unlocked for the first time? ”

"There can be no resurrection, death is permanent."

"It's not the same as the setting of dead cells, one life to clear the level, I'm too familiar with this routine." Yinzi didn't care at all.

One life? For Dead Cell players, this is all too familiar!

From the moment you enter the game, the ancient melodious background music begins to play, and the quiet darkness is constantly carried by the howling of the wind.

[In the distant wilderness, when your name is mentioned, they are full of awe and regret,

No one can tame our savage souls, and you have accepted the challenge,

Under the palest gaze, you teach, we change, and our instincts are redeemed.

You have brought bugs and beasts worlds they never dreamed of. 】

—From "Elegy for the Holy Nest", written by the teacher Monomon.

The little knight who stepped out of the dust, carrying cracked bone nails, stood on the wind-blown cliff and stared at the hazy city guided by the streetlamps in the mist.

Without hesitation, jump down!

The picture went dark, and it took about two or three seconds for the colors to resurface, as if through the endless darkness.

The darkness of the underworld, with fragments of fluorescent light, illuminates the underworld.

Bang!

The little knight fell straight to the ground, making a heavy landing sound, bringing up a falling rock, startling countless underground flying insects.

"MD, this background music makes me goosebumps rise when I hear it!" Brother Yin couldn't help but turn up the volume, and the ethereal background music seemed to carry eternal sadness.

"I've seen people ask me how to evaluate whether a game is made with care." Inko closed her eyes and felt the music that smelled of loneliness.

"Before, I would have said the graphics, the story, the replayability...... Now, I'd say look at his background music. The little knight in the picture is standing there, not moving.

"From the old thief making games to the present, you will find that his game BGM is very attentive." When Yinzi said this, he laughed a little, "I was the most ruthless in digging to survive, but the long-winded narration in the background also took a lot of heart to record." ”

"I've been looking forward to the game since the music came out in the background." He exhaled heavily, manipulating his character and walking forward.

"No map?" Yinzi walked all the way, and also encountered a few small reptiles on the way, and it was very easy to deal with them.

Those reptiles are stupid and will knock them back with each blow, but after they are knocked back, they will stubbornly crawl in the direction they have set.

In the dark underground, I wanted to see where I went, but when I opened the map guide, I found that it was dark.

When he confirmed many times that there was indeed no map, the barrage was also a little confused.

'The old thief forgot to add a map? ’

'How is it possible, a game producer, to make such a low-level mistake?' ’

'Groping, you can always find the exit. ’

"The map of the dead cells is reorganized, and every time it is different, don't you play like this?" ’

……

may be because they are familiar with Ye Feng's urine, and the players quickly accepted the setting of no map.

"I think everyone has been beaten by the old thief KFC, and there were designers who dared not to put the map before?"

"Isn't that going to be washed away by the player?" Inko took advantage of the faint fluorescent light of the underground world to explore the other areas of the game little by little.

In the process of playing, he found that the mechanics of the game were very simple, probably because of the plane, and there were no complicated operations.

At the moment, there are only simple attacks and jumps.

Even that attack was very single, only to pick up the bone nail in his hand and make a gesture in front of him.

This time, there is no blocking operation.

"It's too easy, I'm being honest." Brother Yin frowned, those reptiles or something, they are too simple.

Occasionally, I encountered two small flies flying in the sky, and they were only two or three knives.

Aside from the fact that finding his way was a little more complicated than a map, he didn't feel any difficulty.

Hearing him complain, the barrage was also happy.

'Old thief: You say my game is very simple?' (Dark, twisted scream!) ）’

'Old thief: The best is yet to come!' ’

'Don't, the last time you said something very simple, I was abused and delirious. ’

(╥╯^╰╥) You can say it's simple, but don't say it's simple as soon as you come up, the handicap party can't stand it at all. ’

……

It didn't take long for him to find his way to Hallownest.

The gate to the Hallownest was covered with beetle-like lines, ancient and heavy, with a white glow streaming in through the cracked cracks.

With a bone nail in his hand, he split the door to the Hallownest again and again,

Passing through the gate, there is a cross-sectional road ahead, and there are ancient carvings on the railings on the side of the road, and you can vaguely see the prosperity of the past.

Below the section, there is a hazy gray-white fog, and it is difficult to see the road ahead.

It is as if if if you walk through here, you will enter the territory of the King and the Creator, where you will witness the last and only civilization, the eternal kingdom.

Hallownest.

The background music has disappeared, only the sound of the wind whistling non-stop.

Brother Yin jumped off the cliff.

There were no more reptiles or monsters standing in the way, only a street lamp lit up the road.

Passing through a dilapidated land, a declining town emerged ahead, Uttermouth.

The quiet and melodious background music began to play again, as if telling the history of this world in silence.

In the middle of the town, there is a bench with a white soul.

Next to the bench stood a crouched insect elder, the door of the worm's cave behind him closed.

"Hello, traveler. I'm afraid I'm the only one left to welcome you, and you can tell that our town is deserted right now. ”

"Everyone else, they're gone. Descend this well, one by one, into the caves below. "Elder Worm told us one after another about the prosperity of this place and the wonder of the underground world.

From his words we learn that there was once a great kingdom beneath the town.

It's been in ruins for a long time, but it still draws bugs into the depths.

There is wealth, glory, enlightenment, and the darkness in the depths seems to contain countless possibilities.

Just there, there are crazy creatures full of disgusting breath that have been deprived of their original memories.

"The well on the right, right?" Although there is no map, in the conversation with the NPC, Inko also knows where to go next.

A short distance to the right is a deep well with a bright light that leads to the bottom of the well.

Compared with the world above, the world under the deep well is more refined and prosperous.

This place is known as the Forgotten Crossroads.

And Brother Yin is here, lost for an hour.
