Chapter 208 [Extra] Gotham Succubus·1 [Extra]
The new game "Gotham Succubus, Attack with All My Heart!" was released. Players hadn't paid attention to the pre-order and public beta releases, but one day they logged into the community and saw the game app icon being pushed. It was incredibly cute. It wasn't the popular girly avatar, but a clearly young cub with a grouchy expression. Suddenly, they felt...
She's so different, I want to click in and take a look.
The player couldn't help but click on the game details page, took a closer look at the portrait, and found that the avatar on the app was the protagonist of the game. She had fluffy black curly hair, tied into two pigtails and hanging at her sides. The curled hair was not very obedient, and a bunch of bangs fell on her forehead. Some of the hair was either slightly curled up or clustered on her cheeks, making her look younger. Her eyes were a clear and bright green.
She was holding a teddy bear in her arms, pouting and looking unhappy, yet full of life. One could tell at a glance that she had a lively, domineering and willful temper.
Her identity information is written next to her portrait: 'Megan Damon', and she is only thirteen years old. Before players even see the game's plot introduction, they have already begun to wonder, is this 'succubus' serious?
If it wasn't serious, it wouldn't even get a publishing license, let alone be released in this mass community. The age rating is even 8+, so players can rest assured.
After seeing the character portraits, the player was already interested. Modeling is also very important. If the modeling is poor, it will affect the gaming experience. However, these can only be seen in the game live and trailers, so he clicked on the download. Before opening the official trailer, he also glanced at the game introduction:
The old city of Gotham reappears, where everything revolves on an invisible Möbius strip, round and round, endlessly.
Pale wandering souls roam the land, low-level monsters wreak havoc, and demons lurk in the shadows. Evil and filth have infected the city, but when a miracle hatches from its cocoon, it will usher in a sun that is no longer pale and dim, perhaps breaking this century-old cycle.
The newly born little bear succubus has lost its past, so at dawn—
Please hold her hand, show her the only miracle here, show her the existence with infinite possibilities. Megan Damon, as a guide, go back to the past with her, explore the way forward, and uncover the secrets behind it all.
"Gotham Succubus, Attack with Dignity!" is a brand-new 3D adventure game meticulously crafted by Karasuma Karasuma. Here, you can guide the main character to independently explore Gotham, encounter special characters, unlock bonds, and assist in battle...
The "Bear Succubus" looks and sounds incredibly cute. While the game's main plot isn't explicitly stated, it should be a mystery, and players will understand everything! Then, excitedly, I opened the trailer. Besides Megan, whose 3D model and portraits are just as lively and adorable, I also saw many other characters, like Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, Penguin, Scarecrow, and others from the demon faction. As for the wandering spirits and monsters, well, they were all pretty average and ugly.
After watching the trailer, the player was very satisfied. Because the download progress bar was not finished, the player also watched the live game and found that the battle scene was also in line with his expectations. It was not a battle between small Q people, nor was it a PPT presentation. Although it was turn-based and had fixed positions, the 3D scene could be rotated, zoomed in and out, the battle had an automatic mode, and the player could also choose skills independently. It all looked pretty good.
But as the progress bar neared the end, the player cautiously wondered, "Isn't there any card drawing?" Card drawing is a heinous crime, and mixing the pool is even more unforgivable!
The progress reaches 100% in the next second, and the player waits patiently for the installation. As for the process after installation, he still has to download, wait for loading after downloading, and authenticate after loading. This is the necessary process for opening a new game for the first time: registering an account, linking a mobile phone number, and real-name authentication. After a series of actions, the player is calm. Oh, you have to choose a server before entering the game, but online stand-alone games generally do not have partitioned servers, so you can enter directly.
The opening PV showed a cocoon containing a small human figure, glowing faintly against the backdrop of an old city. A voiceover explained the game's settings. Finally, the white cocoon broke open, and out fell a succubus with trembling bear ears. Her eyes were filled with innocence and childishness as she said:
"I am looking for my treasures, whose reflections rest within me, but which have been lost from my hands."
"I want to get them back."
A transparent glass suddenly appeared on the screen. Megan pressed up the bear's paw pads, tilting her head. A smile gradually appeared on her face, as if she was looking beyond the screen, revealing an expression that she deserved to be favored. "Let's go, Guide," she pointed at the city below, her excitement high and eagerness impatient: "Let's go there!"
She ran wildly, jumping, leaping and spinning happily along the way, like Alice running into the rabbit hole, with the bear ears on her head shaking and a short tail behind her.
For some reason, Megan has black hair and green eyes, but she is a white bear.
The moment the little bear ran into the old city, a huge Möbius strip appeared, covering the entire city, or rather, the entire city was built on the strip. Even though some buildings were upside down or tilted, wandering souls, monsters and demons still shuttled through the city as usual, as if they were not affected.
For some reason, the little bear's pace slowed down, and the picture suddenly darkened. When it regained brightness, Megan's succubus posture had disappeared. She stood at the intersection in a daze, not knowing where to go, and kept looking left and right.
Obviously, systematic teaching is coming!
First, you need to familiarize yourself with the direction keys, followed by the sprint key. Megan in the screen follows the movements, looking kind of clumsy and cute. Then monsters appear, the first one to appear is the white wandering spirit. When you enter the teaching guide, you will know which skill you need to use and it will be specially lit up. The skill details are written next to it, and you can only click on that skill.
Megan's skill 1: Evil Bear Roar (summons a demonic shadow, dealing 100% of the attack's damage)
Skill 2: Punch and Kick (launches 3 to 7 random attacks, each attack deals 30% damage, cannot be upgraded)
Skill 3: Bear Cheer (Increases attack power by 10%, crit by 10%, lasts for 2 rounds, gains invincibility for 1 round, dispels 1 negative effect of oneself, and increases effect resistance by 50% when dispelling successfully)
Up to this point, players only find it a little interesting, but not much. The main character's attack is not high, and there are no strong offensive skills. However, the next move is the real ultimate move "secret": Demon Summoning (summons a special demon, causing 300% of the attack damage to the group, switching the state to the demon companion*)
As a vague devil figure appeared behind Megan, she moved away from the main seat and hid next to the devil, looking like she had found an adult to complain to. Her skills also changed drastically -
When in the Devil's Companion state, skill 1 becomes: Devil's Trick (cause 2 combos, 60% and 80% of the attack respectively)
Skill 2: Devil's Gaze (Causes 120% of the attack's group true damage, with a chance of adding silence, confusion, stun, poison, seal skills, and prohibition of treatment, lasting for 1 round)
Skill 3: Bear Attack (Restores the Succubus's true form, gains 3 rounds of dominance, and automatically casts Skill 2 when attacked and counterattacked)
Even the ultimate move has been changed to: Devil's World Arrival (When the skill is activated, 3 ancient curses are released on the enemy. They last for 2 rounds and cannot be dispelled. They deal 250% of the attack's true damage before the round. If the target dies, the ancient curse is transferred. If there are fewer than three enemy targets, the ancient curses can be stacked. During the existence of the ancient curse, the character is given protection and recovers 120% of the attack power and health before each action)
Player: Perpetual motion machine!!!
A new perpetual motion machine has appeared. Players switch their characters to Devil's Companion mode, and before they have time to click on each skill, the enemy monster's health bar has been emptied. Who said the main control character is weak? She is obviously too strong!
The player was ecstatic and immediately skipped the prologue and found a dilapidated house not far from the bridge. It was marked as a safe spot and low-level pills could be made in the house.
The system did not give any prompts at all, and the players themselves discovered that as the game time went on, there was a green bar on the upper side of the screen that kept decreasing. When it fell below 30%, the entire game screen gradually became dim, and water ripples appeared. It was not until the players opened Megan's character page that they found that it was the sanity value.
...That's not right? There's energy and sanity? And this game doesn't seem to have any Cthulhu elements. But maybe the developers just made that up.
Anyway, before the player realizes the effect of the pills, there is already a whole bottle in the package. Each pill restores 100 sanity points. The low-level pills made in the safe house can also restore sanity points, just a little less, 20 points. However, it is not difficult to make, or it can be said that there is no difficulty at all. You only need to set the quantity on the machine in the house. There is an upper limit. When the storage limit is reached, the machine stops working, and it can be set again after the pills are taken away. There is no so-called cooling-off period.
After the player roughly figured out the gameplay, he took Megan to run around the map. At first, he was very enthusiastic about killing monsters to test his skills, and then he avoided the monsters and began to test how big the map was. There were many wandering souls and monsters along the way, but the player gradually discovered that as long as he guided Megan not to touch them, and the fingers outside the screen touched them, the battle would basically not be triggered. Only then did he find the game interesting.
You can climb objects in the game, like flower beds, but you can't walk into green belts. You can find treasure chests upstairs in residential areas, but you can't enter rooms with closed doors. In some buildings, as long as the door is open or the automatic sensor door is not malfunctioning, you can enter and take the elevator to the office area upstairs...
You can also pick up garbage on the ground in the game, such as coins, leaves, small potted plants on the roadside, unknown parts, etc. Occasionally, a glowing tray will appear on the street, with beautifully packaged snacks on it that can restore a small amount of energy. The details say "Gift from a kind devil."
Player: Why don't you release the good-hearted and bad-hearted demon to me! It's not something to be ashamed of!
The author has something to say:
It’s too difficult to write orz
As for skill references, there are many, such as yys, and maybe some others, but after writing them, I asked to summarize them, and my mind was fuzzy ()
I remember that I had a lot to say when I was writing it, but after I finished, it was like my head was blank and I couldn’t find a single word.
The extra chapter will be suspended for a while and try to return to the main storyline.
Bobo little angels, please send a small red envelope in the comment section of this chapter~
