Old P had always felt that his mental fortitude was good, but after playing this game, he realized that he might have made a mistake in his estimation …
His heart was beating faster, his hands and feet were cold, he was sweating profusely, and his whole body was trembling slightly …
Old P couldn't even muster up the courage to walk into the fog of the town again.
He subconsciously looked at the system time. Only 25 minutes had passed since he started playing.
Moreover, this was only the first 25 minutes of the game!
There was only one monster, only one battle without any difficulty, and even as a horror game, there weren't even any scary scenes.
Unlike many games, such as opening the door to kill, turning around to kill, screaming, and so on, there were none.
Of course, there might be some later, but Old P just hadn't encountered them yet.
Strictly speaking, from the moment Old P entered the game until now, all he had done was run in the fog, from the entrance to the mountain road, to the cemetery, and then to the town …
However, it was this extremely monotonous environment that gave Old P extremely heavy psychological pressure.
This was a very clever psychological suggestion. An abandoned town, a thick fog that never saw the light of day, coupled with a dead environment … All these factors repeatedly stung Old P's nerves.
This approach was completely different from the horror of "opening the door to kill." In that kind of horror game, horror was like a sharp knife that might suddenly stab you at any time and make you scream in fear. However, the horror of Silent Hill was like a blunt knife cutting flesh, constantly challenging the threshold of your tolerance step by step.
On the surface, a thick white fog was much better than darkness and blood. It was nothing more than running and collecting things in the fog, which wasn't that dangerous.
But once players stayed in this environment for 10 or 20 minutes, their psychological pressure index would skyrocket. This unexplainable sense of oppression could even make it difficult for players to move. They just wanted to kneel down, find a corner, and shiver.
Old P decisively chose to quit the game.
"That's all for today. I'm not playing anymore. I'll really die if I play anymore. Hurry up and talk to me. Send a bullet comment to calm me down. Hurry up, I'm afraid I'll suddenly die in the game cabin. "
Old P returned to the game capsule's landing scene and watched the Alexandria theme of Assassin's Creed: Origins, the hardworking Egyptians, and the setting sun at the estuary of the Nile. Only then did his mood slowly start to calm down.
Looking at the bullet screen again, Old P found that the audience's situation was not much better than his.
"F * ck, I can't take it anymore. I'm defeated. I can't watch this anymore!"
"It's too depressing. I can't take it anymore!"
"Please protect me, Bullet Screen Lord!"
"I'm not watching anymore. I'll watch PUBG later!"
"I can't sleep this late at night. I … I'm going to look at an X-ray to relieve some tension …"
Although the audience had been urging him to stream Silent Hill, they were all dead after only 20 minutes of the game.
Although most of the audience members were watching on their PCs and mobile phones, it was already past midnight.
Many people were lying in bed with the lights off and watching Old P's live broadcast on their mobile phones. Some people might even be wearing headphones.
In this environment, the sense of fear and depression they felt was weaker than what Old P felt in the game cabin, but not by much. Even with the bullet screen protection, the depressing environment and atmosphere in the game would constantly erode the nerves of all the players.
Old P looked at the number of viewers.
Since Zou Zhuo and Lin Xue hadn't started streaming, Old P had more than 5 million viewers when he first started streaming. But now, there were only about 3 million viewers left …
These viewers encouraged Ol 'P to livestream Silent Hill, intending to frighten him, but they succeeded in scaring themselves …
Old P really wanted to permanently delete Silent Hill from his game cabin and never touch this game again. But seeing that many viewers were still spamming "Continue streaming Silent Hill", Old P could only sigh. "That … I'll continue playing tomorrow. Tomorrow … I won't play today. I'm running out of HP, and I really can't hold on anymore. If I continue playing, I'll have to call you guys to collect my corpse …"
…
Ol 'P wasn't the only one who bought Silent Hill and started playing it after midnight.
Very quickly, Silent Hill's discussion section on Thunderbolt Gaming Platform was flooded by players who were scared to death.
"My goodness! This is a horror game! A horror game! High energy warning, don't play it! "
"I quit after five minutes, I really can't play anymore!"
"Who said that this game is similar to Dark Souls? Come out, I promise I won't kill you! "
"My goodness, this game reminds me of Outlast!"
"This game is comparable to Outlast! No, I think the atmosphere is even more depressing than Outlast! "
"Yeah, that's weird. The first ten minutes of the game were spent in the fog, and we didn't even encounter a single monster. Why do I think it's scarier than Outlast?"
"Chen Mo is so mean! This game lasts for two hours? fnndp！！”
"Two hours for two hundred RMB of skins? What a loss! Buying my life for two hundred RMB! "
"How can this game last for two hours? Old P died in less than half an hour. What's the concept of two hours?! "
The players who were tricked by Silent Hill were all complaining. They thought they could take advantage of the game, but were tricked by Chen Mo!
Many players had originally thought that they could just stand still and enjoy the scenery like in Dark Souls. After all, there was a reward for two hours and six hours respectively. They could just watch the scenery in the VR cabin and chat with their friends at the same time.
But they realized what the heck were they doing when they entered the game?
The first scene of the game was an abandoned public toilet, with water dripping from the tap.
Walking further back, there were mountain paths, graveyards, strange towns, and thick fog everywhere. The visibility was limited to two to three meters, the sound of the wind, and strange background music. In such an environment, even if he were to hack, his HP would drop like crazy, okay?!
Many veteran players thought of Chen Mo's previous game, Outlast, but Outlast and Silent Hill were two completely different scares.
The horror of Outlast was straightforward. It was the dark environment, the sudden appearance of monsters, and the fear of not being able to fight and only being able to run.
However, Silent Hill was different, especially at the beginning. There was no darkness, no monsters, and the main character was strong, but the players felt the same depressing and hopeless!
The horror was more of a mental one. It was like a magical attack, penetrating deep into the player's bones and ignoring armor.
Many players even thought that at the beginning of Silent Hill, the scene was already so scary in such a bright day …
