After its official release, posts about Killing the Original Form began to occupy the discussion boards of major VR games. In the chat groups of players, there were also a large number of players spontaneously recommending this game.
The players had one attitude towards this game: "Awesome!"
In fact, Dark Souls had tortured many players to the point that they were doubting their lives. Now that they were playing Brutal Murder, these players had a perfect release of their repressed emotions.
On the forum, there were many discussions about Killing the Original Form, but it was completely different from Dark Souls.
At the time of Dark Souls, there were posts complaining about the difficulty, sharing the gameplay, appreciating the level design, and analyzing the plot …
However, in Killing the Original Form, there was none of the above. There was only one type of post: This game is awesome!
Indeed, there was nothing to analyze about the difficulty, gameplay, and level design because it was very ordinary. As for the plot, in fact, only the last scene was more topical, and everyone was polite enough not to reveal any spoilers.
Everyone felt the same, that this game was awesome!
Moreover, most people couldn't tell exactly how awesome it was. They had to experience it themselves.
Many players were addicted to the game because in VR mode, whether it was parkour on a building or fighting with the military in Times Square, the experience was very exciting!
Especially when parkour on a building, many players were not used to it at first. When falling from a high altitude, they would scream out in fear. However, after falling a few times, everyone got used to it and even had an inexplicable sense of anticipation!
After all, in the real world, very few people had experienced the feeling of falling from a high altitude. Those who had experienced it were either bungee jumping or the grass on their graves was already a few meters tall.
Even though the various aspects of the VR game couldn't be compared to the real world, it was extremely close.
Especially as the players' abilities continued to be unlocked, they could obtain more movement abilities, such as air stabbing, gliding, fast rolling, and so on. When the skilled players controlled Alex, they could really experience the feeling of flying in the air at will!
On the other hand, after the release of Killing the Original Form, Alex's popularity also increased, becoming one of the most iconic game characters!
Moreover, "Welcome to the top of the food chain" and "Brother A" also became two very important keywords.
Some well-known uploaders also took advantage of the popularity of "Killing the Original" to release Alex's character album.
All of this meant that Alex was not only the protagonist of a game, but also a classic character in the game and even a virtual idol!
It could be said that the success of "Killing the Original" was inseparable from Alex's image. There were also many people who specifically analyzed the success of Alex's image.
First of all, Alex was popular mainly because he was handsome. His handsome face was only a part of it, and the most important thing was his clothes.
He wore three layers of clothes on his upper body, a white shirt, a hooded sweater, and a black jacket from the inside out. He wore jeans and a pair of black leather shoes.
Especially the black jacket, there were two white rings on each of his upper arms, and a red wing-shaped pattern on his back.
The most annoying thing was that the zipper of the sweater had to be pulled down slightly, and the top two buttons of the shirt had to be undone. The shirt should never be tucked into the trousers. It should be slightly exposed.
This kind of clothing combination highlighted the freedom and rebelliousness of the young group, but it was cool and not so exaggerated at the same time, making him look very deep. In addition, the hood covered most of Alex's face, which made him more mysterious while meeting the aesthetic standards of young people.
It perfectly highlighted Alex's ruthless character of not saying many words.
It could be said that this outfit was still very handsome even in today's aesthetic standards. Even Alex's clothes could be found on major shopping websites, and the sales were quite good.
Secondly, Alex's ability design was very perfect. This powerful golden finger not only didn't cause the plot to collapse, but also brought players an extreme sense of satisfaction.
Alex could climb walls, use various weapons, obtain other people's memories, and become anyone he wanted to eat. He had super high speed, attack power, and defense power at the same time. It was simply a perfect template.
Moreover, these abilities were all unified under the same packaging, and they all originated from viruses. Players wouldn't think that there was anything wrong with so many superpowers being installed on the same person. Instead, they would think that Alex was really awesome!
Even in Chen Mo's previous life, Alex's ability also influenced a large number of online novel writers. Elements of Alex's virus ability appeared in many modern urban themes, supernatural themes, and apocalyptic themes.
It perfectly matched the setting of the golden finger in online novels, and it also showed the rationality of Alex's ability design from another perspective.
Finally, Alex's charisma was the most exciting part of the game's plot.
From the beginning, whether it was the novice teaching in Times Square or the opening in the morgue, it could create a suspenseful atmosphere, making players guess: Who is Alex? Who is he taking revenge on? Why did he wake up in the morgue?
As the plot progressed, Alex encountered more and more powerful enemies, unlocked many different abilities, and solved all kinds of mysteries.
However, the truth surprised both Alex and the players in front of the screen.
Alex experienced a cruel childhood, so he didn't trust anyone, had no friends, and didn't care what others thought of him. He was hired by Gentec as a research and development staff. However, due to personal reasons, he was already a marginalized person with the potential to be antisocial.
Although Gentec was a research institution under Black Watch, the experiments gradually went out of control. Black Watch began to eliminate Gentec's staff, one after another. If there were no accidents, Alex would not be able to escape the fate of dying in the dark alley.
To protect himself, Alex escaped and took a sample of the Blacklight virus as a bargaining chip. However, at the train station, Alex was surrounded by Black Watch. Desperate, he smashed the virus with a mentality of revenge, infecting everyone in the station.
The virus entered his body and was shipped back to Gentec in a body bag. However, at this time, the virus was also transforming the cells in his body.
In other words, Alex had been looking for the person who released the virus and mutated himself, but that person was himself.
Moreover, strictly speaking, Alex was no longer the Alex from before. He was not even considered a human.
The current Alex was the prototype of the Blacklight virus, which was also the name of the game: prototype. The protagonist controlled by the players was a life form with Alex's appearance and part of his memory as the default value. It was another Blacklight virus with autonomous consciousness after Elizabeth.
After learning this truth, most players were completely dumbfounded, just like Alex himself. This was because Alex had been running around to this point to stop the Blacklight virus. Deep in his heart, he had always regarded himself as a human.
