Create horror games that scare players around the world

Chapter 18: Are there guns in horror games?

Then they reacted.

And I was 100% sure that the thing deep in the tunnel was definitely not a dog.

Because the closer the distance, the more unnatural the call.

So much so that in the end, the barking of the dogs was mixed with some indescribable strange roar.

Good fellow, you don't even want to act, and you still dare to move forward! ?
It is indeed a horror game. Knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain, you still go there. It is all about excitement and courage!
In the video, accompanied by the inexplicable roar of the monster, the protagonist's oil lamp began to flicker, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

It was as if an invisible supernatural force was affecting the light, deliberately making it impossible for him to see his surroundings clearly, thus destroying his only sense of security.

At this point, the narrow red brick tunnel had become difficult to see and panic set in.

In the flickering light and darkness, the players in front of the screen clearly saw a solid wall appear in front of them, with a red door in it.

On it, four large characters were written in yellow paint.

'Don't open the door!'

Obviously, the monster behind the door is extremely dangerous.

The barking of the dog had disappeared at some point, and was replaced by the roar unique to monsters, indicating that high energy was behind the door ahead.

But the protagonist of the game still holds the flashing lamp and moves closer, determined to get a glimpse of the real thing.

The footsteps gradually became louder, trampling puddles.

The monster roared and panic was suppressed.

Just as the players held their breath and prepared for a high-energy scene
Bang bang bang bang bang——

There was an unexpected and hurried knock on the door, catching the players in front of the screen off guard.

Before they could react, the monster's roar stopped abruptly, and then a female voice was heard from behind the door, banging on the door and crying for help.

Bang bang bang bang bang——

[Save me. Woohoo. Woohoo.]
Bang bang bang bang bang——

[This is my hand. This is my foot. Woohoo. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to be a part of it.]
Bang bang bang bang bang——

[It's coming. It's coming. Help me. Help me.]
After a few words, the knocking on the door suddenly stopped, followed by the sound of fast running footsteps, which gradually faded away.

The person behind the door seemed to run away in a hurry.

It's just that the sound of footsteps is a bit heavy, as if it has a lot of weight.

The flickering lanterns returned to normal, all dangers seemed to disappear quietly, and a sense of security returned instantly.

But the players in front of the screen were immediately mad at me??? .jpg
What the hell, what the hell is that knocking on the door? Why did he run away?
What about the monster that pretends to be a dog barking?
Shouldn't the atmosphere of wanting to get a glimpse of the truth just now be the best moment for the monster to break out of the door and reveal its true face?

The lanterns have been flashing for a long time, and they are blinding me. Everyone is looking forward to it, and you just make a sharp turn? Are you hiding again?

Looking at the actual demo in front of them, all the players were suspicious.

But then I thought about it, this is a good thing.

This horror game doesn't follow the beaten path. The scary old routines that players expected to appear are not there. It has a strong degree of innovation and superb techniques.

The former one scared himself, while the latter one thought he would break down the door but ended up knocking on it to ask for help.

My goodness, you were about to go in when you entered the magic period.

The monsters in this game are quite good at hiding, without even showing their faces. Are they trying to arouse our curiosity and then wait until the game is released to see their true appearance in person?

Damn the capital calculations! I just hope it's not sold too expensively.
At this time, the actual machine demonstration is in progress.

With a creaking sound, the red door in front of me opened by itself.

The protagonist held the lantern that had returned to normal, pushed the door open and entered.

At the entrance, there is a tunnel fork, leading to the left and right sides respectively.

And in the middle of the fork, there is a wooden box.

When I got closer, I saw a woman's head covered with dark red blood on it, and next to it was a pistol and a recording device.

All three objects can be interacted with by pressing E.

In the demonstration, the protagonist first picked up the pistol, inspected it, and then loaded it.

When the players saw this scene, they were immediately excited.

I have a gun! ?

Damn it, the game is over! Now I have to chase the monster and fight it.

Everyone in front of the screen couldn't help but get ready to go.

For them, if a gun appears in a horror game, they can easily tell that it is used to fight monsters.

This also indirectly shows that the monsters in the game are carbon-based creatures with flesh and blood, and can be hit by physical attacks, rather than ghosts that cannot be explained by science.

As a result, a large number of barrages flashed by.

"You can be as strong as you want, but once you get a gun, I'm sorry, it's my turn to show off."

'I am a loyal FPS player. Are guns in horror games meant for me to kill as much as I want?'

'The moment I saw the gun, I knew the monsters in this game were no longer a concern.'

"Alas, I thought the Star Game would break out of the routine and give people a new and refreshing idea. If there is a pistol, there must be other guns. What's the point? Just shoot. "

"If you can shoot guns in a horror game, it changes the game."

"The monster may be scary, but I have a gun in my hand, which makes me braver."

The players in front of the screen were extremely confident, especially those who often played FPS games, who directly and unilaterally declared victory.

This is normal. Horror games have always been a common theme for independent game makers. In order to attract people and make some money, they will add the most popular FPS shooting elements into the game to increase sales.

After all, pure horror puzzles are too time-consuming, laborious, and thankless, so it’s better to add some shooting elements into it. It’s simpler, has a wider audience, and players will have more fun playing it.

Therefore, after experiencing these horror games, many players said that they are invincible with guns and all they have to do is shoot.

So, after seeing this game "Rotten Meat" by Star Games, I subconsciously thought it was the case.

No matter how depressing and gloomy the atmosphere was before, it seemed like it was scary.

Once the gun appears, I will be the king!

Obviously, players underestimated Star Games and Rotten Meat.
The demonstration continues.

After getting the gun, the protagonist interacted with the recording device.

Soon, a female voice was heard, and at the same time, subtitles popped up below the game.

[(Sounds of gargling breathing)]
[(The muffled sound of hammers has no clear meaning)]
[It is alive and it has consciousness]
[(Scattered writing)]
[(Keyboard clicking)]
[I am Dr. Pierce, the chief researcher of parabiology, and I am affiliated with the personal research team of the President of America]
[I am a bit confused now. I don't know what to do.]
[(Sound of books flipping)]
[Found it. So I have to record all my research on (inaudible) in different media.]
[In order to prevent eavesdropping by other organizations, I have processed the key parts. The complete content is in my encryption card, extraction number A-1475-5984.]
[There is some unknown force spreading in this research institute now. This is what it brought. My thinking has also been affected. I must write down what I want to do in advance.]
I believe I have discovered something amazing.
[Government agents have taken something from (inaudible). It has human genetic structure, but it is not biologically human. It may be another species of Homo sapiens that has not yet become extinct.]
[Based on blood tests, this thing has existed for about (inaudible) years, and the body's cells have extremely strong phagocytic and fusion properties.]
[It can speak, but in a completely unknown language. Its body is shriveled and has no limbs, but its senses are normal and it still has life, somewhat similar to the "human pig" of Eastern China.]
[It's wearing an old crown. I can sense its majesty. Maybe it was a member of the royal family at some point in history? Anyway, I have a strong urge to kneel down and salute it when I see it]
[This isn't normal. I have to do something. Maybe killing it would be a good option?]
[Take this gun, what do I want?]
[]
[Oh my god, I think I can understand its language. You said you need my help.? ]
[]
[The golden tree is calling? Do you want to return home? Do you need a limb transplant?]
[]
[I see. I'll help you find some volunteers. End of recording.]
ps. I fell asleep halfway through writing yesterday, so I won’t say anything more. I will update 5 times today to save my life. This is the first one.
