When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 400 New Dialog Box

Zhang Qifeng was also surprised, but obviously, since the program was already running, he should try not to tamper with it and just enter the game to see what was going on.

According to the saved time, I met Sakura shortly after entering the game.

However, a slightly horrifying scene appeared. What Zhang Qifeng saw on the game screen was not Sakura at all, but a strange stitched body!
She seems to have the appearance of Sakura, but it overlaps with the model of Alvette. In some positions, Alvette's modeling stands out, while in other positions, it is Sakura's characteristics.

Not only that, their voices seemed to be confused to a certain extent. The normal lines turned into two people each saying part, and the different voices were mixed, sounding a bit like those androgynous villains with two voices in old martial arts movies.

Especially when you need to make some expressions, such as happiness, shyness, etc., this model will look particularly weird!
Zhang Qifeng was stunned: "Oh my god! Damn it, I shouldn't have tried this kind of thing.

"Now it's become a pure horror game!"

It is difficult for him to describe this feeling. If it were in other games, this bug would be a little scary, but it would not be a big deal. After all, compared with normal game content, this is a pure bug.

As long as players use the universal method of restarting the game, the problem will most likely be fixed.

But "Heartbeat Dreamland" is different. Considering the characteristics of this game, it is really difficult for players to tell whether this is a bug or part of the game content. It is very likely that nothing will change after restarting the game, and they can only continue to play.

Just when Zhang Qifeng was hesitating whether to give up this opportunity, the situation took a turn for the better.

"I didn't expect that you actually have me in your heart, this really makes me so happy!

“Although your behavior has caused a serious mistake in the Garden of Eden, it doesn’t matter. I’m here and I will help you handle it!
"I will create a Garden of Eden with just you and me..."

In the game screen, Alvette appeared normally.

Zhang Qifeng could clearly tell that this was different from the previous stitched monster.

The stitched monster before was actually Sakura's body plus Alvette's file. After the two characters were stitched together, due to the game mechanism, some kind of error seemed to be triggered, which led to seriously abnormal display effects.

But the guide Alvette in the game is still completely normal.

After Alvette finished speaking, the loading screen appeared on Zhang Qifeng's computer screen again.

After reading the message, Zhang Qifeng was stunned.

The game has changed again!
This time, a large number of functional interfaces in the game have disappeared.

The interface where you could use invitation letters to invite other girls is gone!
The interface where I could study and have fun with other girls is gone!

Even many basic functions in the game are missing and there is no access at all.

Only the functions related to the guide, Alvette, were retained.

Not only that, originally Zhang Qifeng could only communicate with Alvette in the main scene of the game, and the guide could only appear in a few areas of the Garden of Eden, such as the reception room and library. But after this reading was loaded, Zhang Qifeng was shocked to find that he could actually meet Alvette in all other areas!

They can appear together in scenes such as swimming pools, beaches, and training rooms, which was impossible before.

But unfortunately, I still can't progress my relationship with Alvette normally.

Even though they can choose these scenarios, they can only chat.

Fortunately, this kind of chat has changed.

The original guide was a pure tool. When the player talked to her, he could only choose specific options. In addition, he collected text files related to her everywhere, and got a glimpse of her inner world from various diaries and small notes.

But after eliminating many functions, Zhang Qifeng discovered that there was an additional dialog box in the game.

Yes, players can actually type and communicate with the guide!

This discovery made Zhang Qifeng both surprised and happy. He was surprised that the love content was completely gone, but he was happy that the new function was activated.

He was also a little puzzled. Logically speaking, there should be a love story between Alvette and the game, right?
If nothing had been done before and Elliot had continued to be the guide, then Alvette would have been a normal girl who could be invited to the island for a romantic relationship.

There is a normal love story in the game, but at this time you still can’t do anything but chat.

“Huh, huh…

"I paid a lot to accomplish this, but it's all worth it. I finally don't need to peek at you through that small hole anymore, and I can talk to you directly...

"Sure enough, you love me too, right?
"Otherwise you wouldn't have changed all their documents to my name."

On the screen, Alvette looked at the screen lovingly.

As a guide, she used to have very few expressions and was very restrained, but now, this restriction seems to have been lifted.

Zhang Qifeng complained in his heart: "I don't want to change the file to your name, the key is that I can't play the game if I don't change it!
"Oh my Sakura, damn it!"

But at this point, Zhang Qifeng didn't have any better solution, so he could only type silently in the input box: "Of course."

And so, the two began chatting.

Zhang Qifeng never thought that one day he would turn "Heartbeat Dream" into a dialogue-based text love game, and have a dialogue with fake-AI.

It's a bit like the feeling when I played "God Forsaken City".

Zhang Qifeng naturally thought of the cool operations performed by players in "The City Forsaken by God": by talking to Xia Mi, they changed her AI to a certain extent, thus affecting the content of the game.

So he immediately made a similar attempt.

However, the result of the attempt was disappointing: Alvette here seemed to have become completely obsessed with love, and no matter what she was told, it could not affect the functions within the game!
Obviously, there are huge differences between the two games.

In "God Forsaken City", players can also talk to Xia Mi, but at this time, no game mechanism is restricted, and the AI ​​has to handle a large number of city affairs at the same time. So this "talk therapy" method can work.

But it’s different in "Heartbeat Dreamland". After entering this mode, Alvette has actually blocked all other functions in the game, including inviting other girls, daily play and training, etc.

It can be said that currently there is only one thing you can do in the game, and that is to chat with Alvette and talk about love!
Since this kind of chat does not involve any mechanism in the game, it is unlikely that you can change the game through conversation. Whether the player says sweet words or bad words, it does not seem to have a fundamental impact on the content of the game.

Alvette is sometimes happy, sometimes sad, but no matter what, her attitude towards the players is always consistent, just like a yandere who has finally monopolized her beloved.

Zhang Qifeng suspected that, as the game guide, Alvette should still have high authority at this time.

After all, she can simply delete all other characters in the game and open a dialog box to chat.

But the problem is that Zhang Qifeng wanted to use sweet words to induce Alvette to do more things, such as opening new functions or inviting new characters to the island, but all of them failed.

So the game got stuck again!
This save file has completely become a world for the player and Alvette, and all the game content is gone. After entering, you can only chat.

Although the AI ​​seems to be undergoing some subtle changes every day depending on the content of the chat, it seems completely impossible to use chat to change the content of the game when the underlying mechanism is already restricted.

"Damn it, it's stuck again!

"It seems to have just changed from one dead end to another..."

Zhang Qifeng was helpless as well. He looked at the time and realized that he had been playing games till late at night. Considering that he had to get up early tomorrow to go to work and continue playing games, oh no, continue to work seriously, he could only go to bed angrily, while continuing to think in his mind about what other ways he could use to break through the current embarrassing state of the game.

……

……

The next day at work, Zhang Qifeng walked into his office with dark circles under his eyes.

While drinking coffee to refresh myself, I was checking out the strategy guide of "Heartbeat Dreamland" shared by players online.

So far, more and more big players have completely completed the horror content of a single character and activated the third stage of full favorability.

However, without exception, all these characters disappeared!
Once the third stage of favorability is reached, after a period of time, these characters will come to the player reluctantly to say goodbye.

When saying goodbye, these characters all cried like tearful people, each one looked pitiful, and said, "We have to leave the Garden of Eden due to unavoidable reasons," but they will also "love you forever in this life."

In short, the feeling of separation between life and death is extreme.

Then, after saying goodbye, these girls actually disappeared!

This made many players confused: Where is my wife? Where is my wife who I had to clear all the scary levels to get the maximum favorability?
It's gone just like that!!

Although there are illustrated books and galleries in the game, you can revisit all the cutscenes you have played before, but...

It always feels weird and wrong!
If the characters in the game are still there, then players looking at the illustrated books and galleries is like looking at wedding photos after marriage and reliving the good memories.

But the characters in the game are gone, and when players look at the illustrations and galleries again, they always feel like they are mourning their dead wife...

The taste is not right at all! The more I look at it, the more bitter it tastes!
Many players are getting anxious. I spent so much effort to chase after a girl with the highest value, and now she’s gone just like that?

Please act like a human being. If this were a 2D card-drawing game, players would have sent a suicide truck to your company long ago!
As for why?
Players have different opinions.

Some people think that according to the plot, doesn't Eden exist to save the end of the world? Since these girls are undergoing various training activities, are they all humanoid weapons in rescue mode?
The protagonist has cleared all the horror modes, which may mean that these humanoid weapons have finally completed their training, so they are leaving the Garden of Eden and heading into the horror mode to fight various monsters?
After the training is completed, it is reasonable to leave the training camp and participate in actual combat, right?

Some people also think that it is obvious that Elliot killed them!
Apparently, these players had made similar discoveries as Zhang Qifeng, and they also had great doubts about the game guide.

After all, all the text contents in the game are telling players one thing: serving as a guide will not only give players extremely high authority and the ability to feel the unreality of the game world, but will also create a strong possessiveness towards the players.

However, under the game mechanism, the role of the guide cannot interact with the players, nor can it create any sparks. The player can only watch the players interact sweetly with other girls and their relationship become closer and closer.

It is normal to turn hatred into love, or even want to kill someone because of it...

Zhang Qifeng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Obviously, up to now, there are not many players who have deleted Elliot and promoted Alvette like him, at least he has not seen any on the Internet yet.

And looking back at Elliot's series of actions after she became a guide, we can indeed have some new guesses.

"From this point of view, Elliot's illness is indeed less serious than Alvette's.

"Yalvette would delete files if she didn't agree with him, regardless of whether the game would be inoperable. She would even block all other game content and use it to open a chat box with other players.

"Then the two of them just kept chatting...

“And Elios will only temporarily delete a file, destroying only the latest one, and you can copy the file back in and continue running.

“It’s just that Elliot will activate horror content, hoping to use it to dissuade players who want to pursue other girls.

"Compared like this, Elliot is much gentler...

“That makes sense. After all, in terms of personality, Elliot is a more gentle character. Moreover, she was chosen as a guide from the beginning. She is fundamentally different from other guides who got promoted halfway. Even if she does something bad, she will have some bottom line and will not completely ignore it.

"But then again, what should I do in my current situation? Is my performance completely ruined?
"Or to put it another way, I have created a perfect archive that can chat with Alvette forever?

"I don't want this save file anymore!"

Zhang Qifeng was a little speechless. Although from another perspective, this kind of archive is quite precious, but this file can only be used for chatting!
I spent money to buy this game, there are so many girls in it, and so much interaction, but now we can only chat. What's the difference between this and those foot massage parlors that only charge vegetarian food for meat prices!
But the previous attempts had all failed. This file seemed to be firmly controlled by Alvette, and the player could do nothing.

Zhang Qifeng stroked his chin and fell into thought.

“Or…what if I throw Elliot’s files in there and let them fight fire with fire?

“No, I tried it before, but nothing happened when I threw Elliot’s file in.

"Or maybe this version of Elliot isn't strong enough? What if I follow Alvette's method and find a way to raise a stronger version of Elliot and let the two of them fight? What will happen?"
