Many people's first reaction when they heard the name Silent Hill was that the name was quite artistic!
However, when combined with the 'buy a game get a free game' event, many people felt that the game wasn't as simple as it seemed, at least it wasn't some artistic game.
As for what kind of game it was … no one knew.
There was no introduction, no promotional videos, nothing at all.
They could only wait until 618 to buy the game for ninety-eight yuan. Before that, Chen Mo didn't plan on letting out any information.
Many people subconsciously thought of Dark Souls when they heard about the "buy a game, get a free game" event. After all, Dark Souls was the reason why Chen Mo entered the global market and won Game of the Year for the first time. Therefore, when players thought of "scammy games", they would subconsciously think of Dark Souls.
Many veteran players of Dark Souls expressed their confidence. I'm definitely going to get this eighty yuan!
Isn't it just suffering? We're good at it!
There wasn't a time limit for the event, it was just suffering a few more times! Even if it took two months, it would still work. What was there to worry about?
Only a few players realized that Chen Mo made a game a long time ago, called Outlast …
After all, in terms of time, Outlast had been released so long ago that many people had already forgotten the feeling of being dominated by that bone-deep terror.
But now, a game that was even scarier was coming …
…
On the day of 618, midnight.
Many players were waiting in front of their computers or VR gaming pods, waiting for the 618 event to start.
There were too many events, and many people were struggling to decide which one to buy. However, most players still chose to buy Chen Mo's new game, Silent Hill.
After all, money was the most direct temptation. Many players couldn't hold back when they thought about how they could earn eighty yuan from this game.
Although ninety-eight yuan wasn't a small amount, it was nothing to VR players. Moreover, the quality of Chen Mo's VR games were guaranteed, and he wouldn't make a bunch of garbage to fool the players. Therefore, most people bought it without hesitation.
What they didn't know was that Chen Mo could have chosen to play it for free.
However, if the game was free, it would cause suspicion among the players, making them wait and see. A VR single player game, free, and giving away money when you beat it? No matter how one looked at it, this was a very obvious plot.
Chen Mo chose to set the price at ninety-eight. On one hand, this price wouldn't make the players feel that it was too expensive, and on the other hand, it would reduce the sense of conspiracy. Most importantly, there would be a lot of players buying it, and he would make quite a bit of money.
Killing three birds with one stone. Hmm, the plan worked!
Next, it was time for those willing to take the bait.
…
In Old P's live-stream room on Fish-Catching Live-Stream Platform …
He had even slept until 11 PM to start the livestream just for the 618 event, just so he could make it in time for the 618 event to refresh at midnight.
Old P's main job was still to live-stream "PlayerUnknown's Battleground". His first reaction when he went online this time was to check out the "PlayerUnknown's Battleground" event, collect the 618 event reward, earn some gold coins, and open chests.
However, after starting the livestream, he realized … Eh? Why are there so many spectators today?
Also, why did the audience say that he should play Silent Hill first?
Logically speaking, Old P was not the only live streamer on Fish-Catching Live-Stream Platform. Old P and Qin An mainly live-streamed PlayerUnknown's Battleground. They would only occasionally broadcast standalone games at night. On the other hand, Zou Zhuo and Lin Xue mainly broadcast standalone games.
Therefore, their fan base was relatively fixed. Those who liked to watch standalone games would first go to Zou Zhuo's or Lin Xue's livestreams.
However, for some reason, they all went to Old P's livestream today, which caused the number of viewers in his livestream to skyrocket.
Old P looked at Fish-Catching Live-Stream Platform's website, a little confused. He realized that Zou Zhuo and Lin Xue had a tacit understanding not to turn on their livestreams. No wonder the audience went to his livestream.
Many players originally planned to go online and collect their rewards before going to bed and work hard the next day. However, they wanted to watch a livestream before going to bed, which was why they went to Old P's livestream.
"So many of you want to watch Chen Mo's new game? Alright, I'll stream Chen Mo's new game for a while. Let me search … what's it called again? Silent Hill. Oh, I found it. "
“98？ That's so cheap. Does that mean I can choose any game on the platform for free once I clear the game? Alright, I'll play it. "
Old P didn't think much of it and entered the game right after purchasing it.
Before entering the game, the VR gaming pod automatically ran a body check. Old P's body was, of course, fine, so there were no notifications.
…
Black screen.
The first thing that entered his ears was the sound of "tick tock", "tick tock"...
The tap was dripping.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a scene in the darkness.
The first thing that appeared in Old P's eyes was a rusty tap that couldn't be turned properly and was dripping water.
Next to the faucet, there was a stained sink and a mirror with a slight crack on it.
Accompanied by light panting sounds, a faint background melody started.
The panting didn't come from Old P, but from the male protagonist in the game.
The background melody of the game was very faint, but it was long and rushed. There was a lingering sense of mystery that made one's heart beat faster.
The male protagonist was still taking deep breaths, as if trying to calm himself down.
He looked up and saw the male protagonist's face in the mirror.
It was a standard Caucasian face, and it was quite handsome. However, under the dim light and large shadows, the face looked a bit gloomy and dispirited.
The male protagonist paused in front of the mirror for a while, as if trying to see something clearly.
At this time, the game was from a standard first-person perspective, but through the image in the mirror, Old P could clearly see every subtle expression of the male protagonist and could also infer that his mental state wasn't particularly good.
"Tick tock, tick tock …"
The sound of water dripping was still repeating. This dull and monotonous sound was constantly beating on Old P's eardrums and his fragile nerves. Accompanied by the male protagonist's heavy breathing and the strange melody, coupled with this strange scene, Old P's heart suddenly clenched!
Through the corner of his vision and the reflection of the mirror, Old P saw some other scenes of this place.
Obviously, this was a public toilet that had been abandoned for many years. Not only was the sink in front of him stained, but even the surrounding walls, floor, urinals, and so on were all full of stains. It was unbearable to look at.
There were a lot of unknown bright red graffiti on the walls, and on the floor, there were even large patches of red and black stains. It was unknown whether they were embroidery water, blood, or something else?
The male protagonist looked at himself in the mirror and muttered to himself.
