Chapter 206 You are really amazing.

Unexpected but reasonable.

On the first day of the "Summer Special Promotion", the most popular game was "Battle Royale"... The game

that sold the most was also this game.

It can only be said that compared to the interesting stand-alone games,

players are more interested in this blockbuster game that has exploded overseas and is now on sale.

Lin Yao is mentally prepared for this, after all, it is normal for top games to get more traffic.

This is also a good thing.

After all, they are all games from Linmu Studio.

And compared to stand-alone games, "Battle Royale" can continue to bring income to Linmu Studio in the future.

It can only be said that when "Battle Royale" topped the sales list, Linmu Studio was not at a loss.

Of course.

Lin Yao still expects that one or two of the eight new games launched by Linmu Studio will be successful.

However, on the first day, the limelight was indeed stolen by "Battle Royale", and there was not much discussion about the eight new games for the time being.

The only one that can barely compete with "Battle Royale" is "Shadow".

But the discussion about Shadows...

it's really hard to be optimistic...

"This is too much... I won't play it anymore, it's so scary."

"I can't attack, I can only be scared over and over again, I feel like I'm the cannon fodder in a horror movie."

"I won't play it even if it's only 50 cents."

"There's no skill in it, it's all malicious."

"Ah..."

Like Du Kaiding, there are many players who don't have much B-level knowledge.

This can be seen from the clearance rate.

The game scared away many players.

The first day of the promotion.

Ended with the huge sales of Battle Royale.

July 11.

The second day.

Battle Royale's top position is still unshakable.

But the situation has changed a little.

First, the game called Plants vs. Zombies stepped on two games born from the Greenlight Project and ranked third on the best-selling list.

Another game, Sword and Blade, also ranked fourth on the best-selling list.

The top four on the list have become Linmu Studio's own games.

At the same time.

The first live video of the clearance of Shadows was uploaded to the largest video website in China.

The uploader is quite funny.

It was Mou Feng…

Yes.

Mou Feng.

Although he was a terrible player at FPS games,

he was really brave and had a talent for puzzle games.

Linmu Studio had just launched a summer promotion, and he also downloaded several new games. However, unlike Du Kaiding, he played Shadows directly.

Although his palms were sweating while playing ,

he became more and more addicted.

This time, he uploaded the video of his game, which was also an attempt.

He saw many people saying on the forum that they couldn't play this game, so he wanted to recommend it.

As someone who has been looking forward to Linmu Studio making a single-player game,

Mou Feng felt that this game was simply a masterpiece among masterpieces! How could it be buried!

With the intention of sharing and recommending it, Mou Feng uploaded the game live.

Originally, he didn't have much expectation for the number of views.

It was more for the purpose of sharing.

But to his surprise,

there were... a lot of people watching.

Although many players couldn't play Shadows, it was still okay to watch, and because of the promotion and forum discussions, this game was also very famous. Many people   went to watch it immediately

after learning that someone uploaded a video of the game , wanting to know which warrior it was.   Then... the audience experienced the feeling of watching a horror movie.   The process of "Shadow" is very short, and with the puzzle elements, it only takes about an hour.   If you are fast, you can finish it in 30 to 40 minutes.   But in this short process of about an hour, players have a new understanding of the word "scary".   Because Lin Yao mixed a lot of classic elements from horror movies in her previous life into this game...   "Fuck, protect yourself, protect yourself!"   "You guys, Linmu Studio, are really something. In order to scare players, you can resort to such means. There is a child in the cabinet, and he is staring at the player. At that moment, I felt my heart stop when I watched the video..."   "The most terrifying thing is the scene where the protagonist picks up the photos of his wife and daughter, and just as he puts them down, his wife appears at the end of the corridor. I thought the player would be finished with just a tremor, but I didn't expect the wife to flip over and crawl towards the protagonist on all fours. The sense of oppression is outrageous! I turned off the computer directly. I'm just watching. If I play it, you can imagine how terrifying it would be..."   "Fortunately, I didn't play it... The more you play, the more malicious it becomes. There is only one house in the scene, but every time the protagonist thinks of something, it changes. It's also divided into two worlds, inside and outside. You are really something, Lin Yao."

"I feel like the protagonist deserves what he gets... He's not even sure if he was cheated on, but he killed his wife and kids. He deserves it. In the end, he walks into the fog, which should also symbolize that he will live forever in this horror cage he created himself."

"Although it's very scary, the plot is really good, especially the performance is great, and Linmu Studio has done a good job on the details. At 14 minutes and 20 seconds, there is a diagnosis in the lower left corner. I don't know if you have read it? It seems to be the protagonist's. He has a mental illness, so everything makes sense." "

In fact, the wife is also mentally ill..."

Players who knew about the game "Shadow" because of the "Summer Special Promotion" flocked to the video.

While denouncing Linmu Studio, they watched the video nervously.

And to the end.

Even the players who denounced Linmu Studio had to admit that the setting of this game is really interesting, and it created many... very interesting concepts, such as the inner and outer worlds, and the psychological cage.

At the end of the game, when the protagonist in the horror world walked into the fog and the picture showed the reality, he was sitting in the cell looking out the window with a dazed expression.

The players all felt very refreshed.

A scary story with a beginning and an end.

This is probably the first feeling of players.

Horror movies and horror games.

Since they exist, there must be an audience.

It is human nature to seek excitement.

Mou Feng's video weakened the sense of horror produced by playing the game directly, and with the popularity brought by the "Summer Special Promotion", it became popular. It

was listed on the homepage ranking of the largest video website in China that night.

It also made many video creators see the potential of "Shadow".

They all started recording the live broadcast of this game.

Although players may not be able to play it themselves, they always feel a sense of pleasure when they see the video creator screaming in fear...

Especially players who have watched other live broadcasts and know what is scary.

They look forward to the reaction of the video blogger.

It is also this mentality of players that makes the live broadcast video very good.

This has led to more and more video creators recording the game "Shadow"...

Finally, a closed loop is formed.

The game became popular inexplicably.

Although... there are still not many people playing it. Many people bought the game during the summer special promotion and put it aside, watching others play it, and never touched it themselves.

But the game is indeed popular.

Moreover, some chain reactions occurred...
