Many players frowned as the prelude started.
They felt that the melody and accompaniment of the song were a bit traditional, and there wasn't any Western Fantasy style to it. The accompaniment didn't match at all!
Everyone was speechless as soon as the singer started.
What the heck is this?
Many even wondered if they opened the link in the wrong way. They even closed the interface and clicked on the link again. There's nothing wrong with it, this is the theme song for the prequel to Dark Souls!
"The sleepy stars can't stop my journey"
"Wandering for years, living in the wind day and night"
"I'd rather endure loneliness for my dreams"
"Drink up the loneliness"
"Shake off the dust of a foreign land and embark on a long journey"
"Pursuing my dreams with sincerity"
"Three hundred and sixty-five days pass year after year"
"Every day I travel"
…
Many players were confused. Did Chen Mo post the wrong link?
Be it the melody or the lyrics, this was completely different from Dark Souls!
The lyrics were clearly describing a wanderer in a foreign land, passionately pursuing his dreams, moving forward while reminiscing about his homeland …
But stop! What the hell does this have to do with Dark Souls?
Could it be that the Undead left their homeland to complete the mission of the Undead, embarking on a journey to become the King of Cinders, and fighting for their dreams?
… Seems like I'm overthinking things!
The singer continued singing. Evidently, the song had reached the chorus, and the singer's voice suddenly became more passionate and emotional.
"Three hundred and sixty-five miles, from home to a foreign land"
"Three hundred and sixty-five miles, from youth to old age"
"How many three hundred and sixty-five miles, through spring, summer, autumn, and winter"
"Three hundred and sixty-five miles, how can it be wasted"
…
At the end of the chorus, the lyrics were repeated endlessly. It was nice to listen to, but the players were all dumbfounded.
Many players still couldn't believe that this was the theme song for the prequel to Dark Souls even after the entire song was over …
Many players were confused, it didn't make sense at all!
Why did Chen Mo choose a Chinese song for the theme song of Dark Souls?
It was fine if it was a Chinese song, but there was no mention of Dark Souls. There wasn't even the slightest bit of Western fantasy elements!
He felt that this song would be more suitable for the gala …
After confirming that Chen Mo's account wasn't hacked, and that the song "Three Hundred and Sixty-five Miles" was the theme song for the prequel to Dark Souls, the players began to use their brains to try to figure out Chen Mo's intentions.
Obviously, Chen Mo had his reasons for choosing this song as the theme for the prequel to Dark Souls.
After all, Chen Mo knew music and had a deep understanding of Western Fantasy. It was impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake.
The only explanation was that Chen Mo did it on purpose …
Many players had a wild imagination as they tried to guess the meaning behind the song.
"I think this song is a form of encouragement for us! As the Undead, we carry the mission of spreading the Fire, and the journey of spreading the Fire requires us to leave our homes and travel three hundred and sixty-five miles. Chen Mo is praising our spirit! "
"Hehe, is Chen Mo that positive? You're not a fake fan, right? "
"I think Chen Mo is just being stubborn, and this song might be his true feelings. Look, he's not from the Imperial Capital, and he used to drift in the north. It wasn't easy for him to leave his home to pursue his dreams! "
"… You think it wasn't easy for Chen Mo? He's about to become the richest man in the world … "
"I think this song describes the mentality of us young people very well! Look at all the drifters in the north. Not all of them drifted to the Imperial Capital, some of them drifted to other big cities. Young people these days are courageously pursuing their dreams … "
"Maybe it's nostalgia? Or a show of goodwill towards the Game Committee? Don't you think this song is very traditional, and suits the taste of the leaders? "
Chen Mo's Weibo soon had over a thousand comments. The players were all trying to figure out the meaning behind the song, trying to solve Chen Mo's riddle.
There were a few very philosophical comments that were pushed to the top of the page, getting a few hundred likes.
The players were doing a reading exercise, trying their best to understand every single line of the song, every single meaning. Many of them started with the music style and melody, trying to analyze the emotions behind the song …
Some even speculated that Chen Mo was planning to retire from the gaming industry after finishing the prequel to Dark Souls.
However, the players who tried the prequel to Dark Souls in the experience store immediately understood the meaning behind the song.
They could only laugh bitterly at Chen Mo's weird sense of humor! He even wrote a song specifically for it?
Although they wanted to tell the players the truth, most of them held back. After all, spoilers for something this fun wouldn't be fun. It was better for the players to experience it themselves to better understand the emotions behind the song …
Moreover, even if there were some players who wanted to hint at it, no one would listen. That was because the top few comments had long been occupied by philosophical comments that over-interpreted the meaning of the lyrics. Those players who wanted to expose the truth could not make any waves …
…
With endless expectations for the prequels of Dark Souls and doubts about the song "365 Miles", the players had finally waited for the day that the prequels of Dark Souls would be released!
Just like Dark Souls, the prequel was also released worldwide at the same time, with multiple language versions and both English and Chinese voices.
Obviously, with the huge influence of Dark Souls, the prequel's popularity was obvious, as all the players around the world who loved Dark Souls were eagerly waiting for the prequel to be released!
An unsolved riddle.
Superb level design.
A combat system made with the Pangu engine.
A game experience that made one's heart race.
All of these factors made Dark Souls a unique game, and it also made the prequel to Dark Souls even more popular!
Moreover, "Dark Souls" and "Dark Souls" prequels were also released for the Switch. Players who bought the Switch but couldn't afford the VR pod could also buy the Switch version of "Dark Souls" for just 98 yuan.
