This fan of Eric, he has only been in contact with online before, but he knows that the other party is not someone who likes to joke around.

Puzzled, he walked to the living room on the first floor, where he was about to go and see what was going on with the game, and then found that his father had returned without knowing when.

His father was a reviewer for a game column, and he loved games because of his guidance.

His tough-guy father has always been his pride, and although he is silent, his father fully respects his choice, and even when he said that he wanted to drop out of school to become a game streamer, his father only repeatedly confirmed that he had thought about it, and then provided him with a start-up capital to start from scratch.

Although his income now far exceeds that of his father, he still has a lot of respect for him.

At this time, the smoky, bearded father was cleaning up the game console.

He had shut down and put away the console, but the game disc inside was nowhere to be found, not even the game box, which made Eric feel incredible.

"Dad, where's my game?"

Eric's father paused, then said, "The game...... How far have you got? ”

"Just started, what's wrong?"

"Stop playing."

"Why?"

"It's not healthy."

Eric looked at his father in astonishment and said in disbelief: "You didn't say anything when I watched the first movie, and now tell me that a game is unhealthy?" ”

Eric's father stepped forward, pressed Eric's shoulder, stared into his eyes and said solemnly: "Listen, you are only nineteen years old, you are a young adult, there are some things that you really can't touch, this is for your good." Alright, it's eleven o'clock now, let's go to bed. ”

"Daddy...... This is the ...... of the business order"

"I'll help you explain,."

Faced with his father, who couldn't say anything about it, Eric could only think about walking to the second floor.

On the stairs, he saw his father standing at the window with the phone in his hand and whispered, "That's right......"

"He played ......"

"I've confirmed, he's just getting started...... Yes, it's not too late, I'll be optimistic about him. I know he's a sentimental kid, and that's too early for him. ”

"Okay, so be it."

After hanging up the phone, my father didn't leave, but looked out the window and muttered to himself, "Heavenly Devil" ah......"

Creeping back to his bedroom, Eric felt more and more weird.

Lying in bed, he waited until his father fell asleep, then sneaked downstairs and found the laptop that had eaten dust in the basement, then turned it on and connected it to a mobile phone hotspot.

Then, he purchased the electronic version of "Heavenly Demons" and played it again.

In the dark and cramped basement, only the laptop in his arms shone dimly.

Because he doesn't have a mouse, he can only use the trackpad to control, but since he has already played it once, he passed it unusually smoothly at the beginning, and soon came to the early and middle stages.

It wasn't until this moment that he understood why this game was a horror game.

In the darkness, the Heavenly Demon opened its hideous eyes, and the despair from the other world captured him firmly, making it impossible for him to break free.

The coat of ease is ripped off, how sweet the atmosphere was before the game, and how desperate it is now.

He watched his parents fall in a pool of blood, and a three-meter-tall monster appeared in front of him, with the other party's paws carrying the clothes he had made for his childhood sweetheart.

The tragic death of his loved ones fills him with grief and anger, and the emotions built up by the two games make him feel double the pain.

At this moment, he is no longer Eric, but the protagonist!

He resonates with the protagonist's feelings, causing him to draw his weapon desperately and rush towards the enemy.

It's an uphill battle.

The other party is not a miscellaneous soldier at all, and it is a strong stage boss, if it is not cultivated well in the early stage, then it will not be able to defeat the other party at this time.

However, Eric is playing the game for the second time, and he has done a good job of time management, and although it is dangerous to face monsters, it is not impossible.

And with the feel he developed in "Thor's Hammer", the monster in front of him was finally cut off by him after dozens of rounds, and his head fell behind his back.

Watching the monster collapse with a bang, Eric finally had the thrill of revenge, but then he saw the monster return to human form, and the headless body looked so familiar.

Staring at the familiar figure, Eric froze.

He subconsciously wanted to turn back, but someone held his hand.

Raising his head suddenly, he saw his father silently appear in the basement, and then held his hand to prevent him from continuing.

"Just keep going, get out of here slowly, and don't come back. Remember, you've just killed a monster disguised as a human, and your whereabouts are unknown in front of your childhood sweetheart. ”

"How do you know?"

"I've played this game in the company, and I know the follow-up development, so there's no need to go back, just keep going."

“…… Thank you, Dad. ”

It wasn't until this moment that Eric understood the good intentions of his fans and his father.

However, it was too late.

He had seen despair, and he knew that he couldn't let go of this game without playing it.

Controlling the protagonist to walk out, Eric believes that the protagonist's expression must be exactly the same as his own.

This world, it's really fucked up.

However, the world of high freedom gave him some hope.

The pollution of Reiki is everywhere, so if we find out in advance why Reiki is polluted, then reopening the game can save this tragedy.

Well, that's right, this must be the arrangement of Fangcheng Studio, and the happy ending is ahead, we can.

The most intense despair often contains a glimmer of hope.

But when they discover that this hope is like an empty rope, deeper despair will come.

This process then repeats itself over and over again, allowing the player to dig their own grave to the hell of despair until they can't climb out again.

Three days after its release, "Heavenly Demon" finally landed on Station G and began to be scored.

Bilibili is an internationally renowned game evaluation website, which is divided into two parts: expert rating and player rating, each part is a full score, and one is the lowest score.

Among them, the expert score focuses more on the artistry, completeness, and innovation of the game, while the player score focuses more on the gameplay.

Normally, the ratings of the two parts would be very different, and there are almost no games that can meet the needs of both parties at the same time, and each one is a masterpiece.

However, there are quite a few games that both sides hate, and there have been more and more of them recently.

And "Heavenly Demons" has created another spectacle.

It has an average rating of just six points, but the number of reviews is as high as 300,000.

Combined with its sales, it means that a quarter of players can't wait to start scoring after playing the game, and some players are stuck in the game and don't have time to score for the time being.

Reviews of this game, both by experts and players, are polarized.

Some people like this game to death.,The comments below are also very exaggerated.,The words of praise are already close to the face output.。

[There are only two stages in your life, before and after playing "Heavenly Demon". 】

[Welcome to the world of despair, you little bastard.] It's time to feel what the pain of the world is. 】

[I tried to save my childhood sweetheart, my parents, and my companions, but they turned into monsters one by one in front of me. If I don't kill them, they'll kill more. I can't hesitate yet, because the longer I hesitate, the more people die, and the more pain they suffer. This damn world, full marks. 】

[When I played this game, I cried like a sissy, and my roommate told me to sleep in the living room after seeing me crying like this, and she came to play. Now, she's depressed in the bedroom, and I'm crying while comforting her, perfect marks. 】

[It's rare to see this kind of game that has strong strength and is still abused to die and live, Fangcheng Studio, I remember you, full marks. 】

[What I think of the horror game rating system: 13+, 16+, 20+, "Sky Demon"]

However, in addition to these praisers, some expressed their fears.

[When I close my eyes now, it's "Heavenly Demon", although all the bloody scenes have been censored, but the sense of powerlessness is really too strong. 】

[Good game, but I don't want to play anymore.] 】

[I'll admit it's excellent in every way, but I can't really play it.] Some people say that you can play the first half as a farming simulation, but I can't. Every time I reopened, I tried to get out of this tragedy, but each time I found myself feeling as if I was making things worse. Compared to this game, other horror games don't seem to be very scary, because I know they can't hurt me through the screen, but Skydevil can. 】

The huge controversy was also expected by Hoffmann.

As reviews polarized, sales continued to increase, and by the end of the first week, the game had sold three million units in Europa, making it a recent success story.

But Hoffman knows that some trouble is just beginning.

An email came to the Cayman company, which was a small animal protection organization.

This organization demands the concept of equality of life in all games, and in "Heavenly Demons", players can actually kill polluted animals, which is a desecration of life.

Without waiting for Hoffman to reply, Rainbow Banner also came running over and said that the game only has a male protagonist as a gender opposition, please join the female immediately or declare that this is a genderless person, this is fine.

Of course, if it is too cumbersome to modify, they are not impossible to carry out a certification, but the sponsorship must not be less.

There are also organizations that run over to show that the female characters in the game are too beautiful, which can easily cause gender dysphoria.

Seeing these emails, Hoffman directly dismissed them as farts.

It sounds good, but in fact, it's all business in nature.

Don't look at the righteous words in the email, if Hoffman donates a portion of his income to these organizations, then these organizations will be their father the next day.

But the game, it's just fun, why provide for these people.

So, Hoffman adheres to the policy of you write yours, I do mine, ignore all emails, and continue to prepare for the release plans of other countries.

If it's an ordinary mini-game, those organizations shout twice and find that there is no oil and water.

But the sales of "Heavenly Devil" are there, and this piece of fat is smooth and smooth, and every hungry dog wants to take a bite.

At the same time, this game also has an original sin, and that is that it is a game from the East.

For a while, criticism of this game was endless, and in many media, "Heavenly Demon" has become a base camp for spreading evil thoughts.

Some people even say that buying "Heavenly Demon" is buying tickets to Hell, and the train to Hell will take these players and play the game in a world where there are only consoles until all the games are cleared.

There are also people who have called for refunds for those who have bought "Heavenly Demon", so that this kind of rotten game can't survive!

Seeing these criticisms, Hoffman didn't care, and even felt that the other party said it well.

He has seen too many things like this, after all, if no one criticizes, then it can only mean that the line is wrong.

And, he trusts the eyes of the players.

After all, the first user of the game is the player, and it doesn't need to be politically correct, and sometimes it even needs to be politically incorrect, and it's just ridiculous, weird, and vulgar.

Besides, you don't respect our game anymore, so why should we respect you?

However, he was still a little worried about Fang Cheng, so he contacted the other party again and told Fang Cheng that those comments didn't matter.

After receiving Hoffman's call, Fang Cheng asked suspiciously, "Someone is attacking me on the Internet?" Why? ”

"The game is so well done."

“…… Is it wrong to do too well? ”

"You're right, it's the world that's wrong. Okay, don't worry about that, I'm worried about your mood, but now it seems like you're pretty good. ”

Hanging up the phone, Fang Cheng pinched his fingers and counted, and then frowned.

Some people are going to be miserable.

slandering others for no reason, and being an immortal, the cause and effect in it will be very strong.

If the final sales of "Heavenly Demon" are not good, there is still a chance of survival, which shows that they are okay with scolding, but now that "Heavenly Demon" is like a rainbow, I am afraid that it will ......

Three days later, Hoffman stared at the pressure and released "Heavenly Devil" in the American market.

Although there was a lot of scolding in public opinion, it was not those public opinions that voted in the end, but the players.

The sales volume exceeded 5 million units in a single week, and the final global sales are expected to be 10 million.

The funding chain of some organizations was inexplicably broken, some companies inexplicably went bankrupt, and then it was discovered that the collapse was all related to "Heavenly Demon", which made the game more and more urban legends entangled.

But in any case, as the first studio to enter the international crab eater, Fangcheng Studio won a big victory.
