Create horror games that scare players around the world

Chapter 31 What the hell? Using a microphone to yell at the dog?

Guoba Ge was in high spirits, with a look of great joy on his face.

As the screen lit up, he appeared in a blue brick passage from a first-person perspective.

Here, it's damp and dark, and water drips down.

In the quiet environment, only the protagonist's breathing and heartbeat rise and fall slightly.

Just at the first sight, Guoba Ge was excited.

"Oh my goodness, guys. This image quality and lighting are amazing! Really amazing!"

Guoba Ge moved the mouse and looked around as if he was tasting a rare treasure.

"Look, the blue brick material of this passage has a clear resolution and is no different from those 3A masterpieces abroad. There are also water marks and broken cracks on it. Oh my god, there is also moss and cockroaches. The 60 yuan is really worth it!"

"Brothers, I sincerely recommend you buy one. I am not well educated, so I can't think of any adjectives to describe this game. I can only use the word "awesome" to describe it."

Guoba Ge looked around like a curious baby.

At this moment, the game screen suddenly blinked, like a human reaction, which made Guoba Ge in front of the screen stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.

"Okay, okay, it even has a built-in blinking function, right? It really makes me feel immersed in the game."

"Brothers, let's start looking for the dog."

As he said that, Brother Guoba controlled the protagonist and walked towards the depths of the blue brick passage.

Step—step—step—

Step—step—step—

The damp passage was dead silent, except for the noise of footsteps.

With the dim environment around him and the sound of dripping water constantly in his ears, Guoba Ge couldn't help but lick his lips. Such an immersive experience made him excited and a little nervous.

I'm so excited. This is the first time in more than ten years that I've played such a high-quality horror game.

It's tense. The atmosphere is really a bit oppressive.

But soon, a faint light suddenly appeared in the thick darkness ahead.

This made him suddenly happy, as if he saw hope.

"There's light! Brothers! There's light ahead!"

Guoba Ge immediately controlled the protagonist to run forward, and soon they arrived at the light.

Here, there is a Y-shaped passage, leading to the left front and the right front respectively.

In the middle, there was a worn-out wooden box, and on top of it was a lantern.

The light that Guoba Ge sees is emitted by this lamp, and it is also interactive.

He clearly remembered that in the actual game demonstration, the protagonist was holding a lamp.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be it.

Go forward, press E, and the lantern suddenly appears on the left side of the screen, tightly held by the protagonist's hand, emitting a faint light.

Brother Guoba felt a little strange at this time.

"Brothers, something is wrong."

"Why did the production team give a lantern? Shouldn't they give a flashlight?"

"Other games give you a nuclear flashlight, but why does it become a lantern in this game? Is there some special hobby? Or is the background of this game very old? So old that the lantern has not been replaced by the flashlight yet?"

Just when Guoba was wondering, suddenly, a lamp oil progress bar appeared in the lower left corner of the screen.

This made him stunned for a moment.

"Oh my god, guys, this lantern needs oil."

"My goodness, the production team deliberately changed to lanterns. Could it be that they want us to explore everywhere to find lamp oil? Damn it!"

Guoba Ge quickly followed the instructions and put away the lantern.

Suddenly, the surroundings fell into darkness again.

Fortunately, it wasn’t so dark that I couldn’t see my hand in front of me. At least I could see the road clearly.

It was just the lack of light that made him feel insecure.

Especially the depressing silence around him made him feel a chill down his spine.

"Forget it, let's explore more and let the lamp oil flow as it comes."

Guoba Ge looked at the two deep passages in front of him and didn't know which one to go.

At this time, the game popped up a prompt again.

[You need to call your dog's name to determine its location. ]

[Please shout its name into the microphone, or press the spacebar to call it. ]

Guoba:.?

"Into the microphone?"

At this time, he noticed that a microphone icon and a volume grid appeared in the lower right corner of the screen.

"What's this new thing?" As Guoba Ge spoke, his voice volume suddenly increased.

As soon as he finished speaking, the grid dimmed again.

This made him look surprised.

"Wait, could it be that as soon as I speak in real life, the dog in the game will respond to me?"

"let me try."

Guoba made some preparations, and then
"Dog—? Roy—?"

[Woof—woof—woof—]
“What the hell???”

At this moment, Guoba was dumbfounded.
The same applies to the audience in the live broadcast room.

Everyone was shocked by this unprecedented game mechanism.

Especially Guoba Ge, his eyes widened.

"What's this new thing? I shouted in real life, and the dog in the game responded to me."

"This is fucking breaking the fourth wall???"

The audience was also extremely shocked.

I have been playing games for more than ten years, but I have never seen such a gameplay that can be linked to reality.

No company has ever done this before, and now that we have encountered it in the game "Rotten Meat", it is like discovering a new world, novel and incredible.

So they all started typing in the live broadcast room.

"What the hell is this game? Isn't it just a bunch of code and modeling? How can it react to real sounds?!"

"Oh my god, what kind of advanced gameplay is this?"

"Oh my god, horror games are scary enough, and now I have to interact with reality. Just let me die."

"How does this mechanism work? Why can speaking in reality make the virtual code respond?"

"Oh my god, the thought of playing a horror game and having to talk and interact with the creatures in the game makes me numb."

"Wake up, everyone! Didn't I tell you that you can call by pressing the spacebar? You don't have to speak."

"I just want to know if it's too late to pull out the wheat?"

"If the host doesn't talk, then I should just watch a live stream?"

Looking at the various comments in the barrage, Guoba Ge also calmed down.

To be honest, this interactive gameplay between reality and virtuality really surprised him.

There is a sense of wonder that breaks the fourth wall.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be similar to the voice assistant on Apple phones.

Star Games is really awesome and the sense of immersion is maximized again.

So, Guoba Ge tried shouting twice again.

But no matter whether you call Roy or the dog he adopted, the dog in the game will respond with a bark.

But it won’t respond when you call other names. It’s quite smart.

"It's quite interesting, brothers."

"The sense of immersion in this journey to find the dog has skyrocketed. It's great. To be able to make a horror game to this level, I can only say that Star Games is really strong."

As he said that, Guoba called out "Gouzi" again.

During the game, barking sounds were soon heard.

He listened carefully and noticed that the sound came from the right passage, so it would definitely be right to go to the right.

"I'm coming to see you, dog."

Guoba Ge controlled the protagonist and walked towards the passage where the dog's voice came from.

The figure disappeared into the darkness.

The footsteps were clear, tapping and echoing.

The surrounding environment in front of him became increasingly difficult to see, so Guoba Ge had no choice but to press the number key 1 and took out the lantern.

And it was at this moment that he noticed a note in front of him.

This kind of thing exists in every game, and its function is to supplement the game's plot and world view.

Therefore, once you find a note or document in the game, collect it if you can, which will let you know what is happening in the game.

So, Guoba Ge took the oil lamp and went forward to pick up the note.

Then, he froze.

——To you who picked up this note:

No matter who you are. No matter how you got here
Congratulations after seeing this note, there is no way you are leaving.
You will die like me, in a dirty corner, unknown to anyone.

But if... you only saw the note and didn't see my body, that means
It found me.
