Chapter 355: The End of Despair
The first day of the release of "Witch".
Until Lin Yao got off work, the fastest player only reached the seventh chapter.
After the fifth chapter, the process of the subsequent chapters will be much longer than the previous ones, because after the previous revenge story is over, the next story will involve the entire empire.
Of course, Lin Yao can't wait for the first player to complete the game in the studio.
There is no point.
So at six o'clock, she ran away on time.
Let's see the players' clearance and evaluation tomorrow.
Lin Yao left the studio and went home to take a shower, cook, play, and sleep. Her work and
rest schedule is very healthy.
But she can sleep.
Players may not...
Eleven o'clock in the evening.
Feng Dong controlled the male protagonist and carefully avoided the guards in the agency mansion. He didn't feel sleepy at all.
After the fifth chapter of the game ended, he vented his excitement on the forum for a while and went to eat.
After dinner.
He immediately pounced on the computer and continued to play the following plot.
After the foreshadowing of the previous five chapters, he looked forward to the following plot more and more.
And at the end of the fifth chapter, Feng Dong chose not to kill the witch.
Although the male protagonist had a bad attitude, he did not kill the witch named Xu in the end.
Then, the male protagonist learned the truth from Xu.
It was not the witch who burned his family to death, but the high-ranking officials of the empire. As for who it was, Xu did not know.
The male protagonist wanted to find out the truth.
Xu proposed cooperation, hoping that the male protagonist could find out what the high-ranking officials of the empire were doing on witches during the investigation.
So after the fifth chapter.
The enemy became the empire.
Feng Dong also began to cooperate with the witch.
The four witch bosses he fought at the beginning appeared in the tavern where he was hiding in the sixth chapter.
Feng Dong could get some information from them and buy some props.
These information and props were useful, but not decisive. It can only be said that they gave him convenience, but he could play without them.
Is this the reward for not killing?
This was the first thought of Feng Dong when he saw the four BOSS appear in the tavern where he was hiding.
Players who kill the boss will definitely not have such benefits.
But he vaguely felt that the reward might be far more than that.
But after all, the game was not cleared.
It was useless for Feng Dong to think more. Soon, he dropped the question and entered the next chapter.
The difficulty of the game began to rise as the chapters progressed.
The enemies were more diverse.
And the difficulty of the chaotic battles also increased.
However, the fun of stealth also increased, because the assassin controlled by Feng Dong could stop time, split himself, summon rats, teleport in a small range, and occupy the enemy's brain.
It can be said that he is the strongest assassin...
And for this game, Lin Yao referred to the Dishonored series. The Dishonored series originally incorporated the features of many excellent games, such as "BioShock", "Assassin's Creed", "Deus Ex", etc.
After the advantages of these games were improved and perfected.
Players really couldn't stand it here.
So even if the difficulty became higher.
After the baptism of the fifth chapter, Feng Dong didn't have the slightest thought of giving up and going to sleep.
In addition.
Feng Dong thought that the map design of this game was really amazing! How could you sleep when you play this kind of game and see this kind of map.
For example, the map of the eighth chapter he is playing now - the house of the mechanism.
The whole mansion is alive!
As long as you pull the joystick, the whole scene will change.
The space is still the same space, but it feels like playing another level.
It's amazing.
This reminds Feng Dong of "Shadow" by Linmu Studio last year.
But in that game, the scene was changed by an unknown force.
In "Witch", mechanical power is used.
I can only say that they are all designed very well!
However...
the level design is very good.
But at the end of this level.
Feng Dong encountered some troubles.
The BOSS of this level is still a witch, but it seems to be a must-kill...
Originally, he thought that after the fifth chapter, the BOSS is no longer a witch.
After all, Xu was not killed.
The misunderstanding was resolved.
Logically, there should be no more witches to cause trouble.
But he miscalculated.
No matter what ethnic group, there are traitors, and witches also have them.
For example, the BOSS of the eighth level, although she is a witch and has been oppressed, she is still loyal to the empire.
There is a taste of convert fanaticism.
And this BOSS is very difficult to fight, and there is no option to kill or not.
After Feng Dong chopped down the opponent, there was a QTE for execution, which was a slow-motion button press according to the time.
If he didn't press it, he would be killed by the BOSS and have to start over.
If he pressed it, the opponent would be executed and die directly.
In other words.
It seems that he will die no matter what.
But not necessarily.
Feng Dong looked at the witch lying on the ground and felt that something was wrong.
In the first five chapters of Linmu Studio, they took great pains to give the option of killing or not killing the witch, just for those bosses to appear in the tavern? To give players some information and props?
Wouldn't this affect the ending?
Is this witch really a must-kill?
That would be too anticlimactic...
Feng Dong was a little skeptical.
But now the facts seem to be like this.
Feng Dong was a little confused.
He looked at the screen and the game could continue now.
But he wanted to try again, thinking that he might have missed a clue.
He made up his mind.
Feng Dong started over and went through the previous levels again.
But the final result was still the same.
He and the witch boss at the end of the level must die.
Seeing this result.
Feng Dong wanted to give up...
Maybe Linmu Studio didn't finish it.
Maybe the option of not killing only ended in the fifth chapter.
Maybe it was just to give some information and props to players who chose not to kill.
Maybe...
Maybe shit!
Feng Dong gritted his teeth, thinking of the shock he felt when he played the fifth chapter. He didn't believe that Linmu Studio would end so poorly.
He started over again.
But this time, he didn't take the most efficient route, but wandered around.
He still felt that he had missed the clue.
And he really found a clue...
In this level's mansion, there is a room on the second floor with a strong girlish atmosphere. There are two guards in the room. There is a piece of information that can be collected in the room, but this information has nothing to do with the boss. It's just a half-written nursery rhyme.
Feng Dong killed the guards and went in to collect the information the previous two times.
But this time, he hesitated for a while because he was thinking about the boss. He didn't choose to kick the door open directly, and then paused to chop down the guard.
It was this moment of stagnation.
The conversation of the guards in the room caught his attention.
To be precise, it was not a conversation, but singing.
One of the guards hummed the half-written nursery rhyme softly.
Then his companion asked him what it was.
He said he didn't know, but only said that his sister taught him and it can give people courage.
And his sister's name is exactly the name of the boss at the end of the level!
And Feng Dong remembered that when the boss at the end of the level started to fight, he seemed to say the lines that his brother was here...
"No way?"
Feng Dong scratched his head, then looked into the room through the keyhole, and after hesitating for a moment, he chose not to kill the guard inside.
Then.
He passed the level normally. It
was still the same boss. It
was still the same process.
Just when Feng Dong thought he was wrong.
QTE stage.
Feng Dong didn't have time to press the button according to the system prompt.
Humming suddenly came from the upper floor of the mansion.
The two surviving guards walked out of the room and saw the corpses all over the floor. They panicked. One of them directly hummed the nursery rhyme that was said to give people courage.
And heard the soft humming.
The boss who was about to be executed suddenly pushed the male protagonist away and ran away.
Feng Dong stared at the disappearing boss in amazement, with a confused face.
No way, Linmu Studio.
Can it be played like this?
There is really an option not to kill?
But the triggering condition is too strict, isn't it? If I hadn't thought too much and repeated it three times, I might not have found it...
Isn't it an option open to second-round players?
Feng Dong shook his head with a bit of a smile. The mission didn't say to kill the boss.
As the boss escaped, the passage leading to the maze of organs under the mansion also appeared.
He controlled the protagonist to walk into the next level, the maze of organs.
The map design is still great.
In addition, Feng Dong also found some information, which indirectly confirmed his guess.
Sure enough.
The option of not killing is indeed prepared for the second round.
Some of the information that can be collected in this level reveals the life experience of the boss above.
She came here at first just to save her brother, but was caught and brainwashed, and her brother worked in the mansion of the organ. The information said that his brother might be able to wake her up...
Feng Dong saw this information and knew that it was a clue for the players.
As long as the players read this information, they should be able to guess how to achieve not killing the boss.
But this information was placed behind the boss...
Linmu Studio is really mean.
But on the other hand, it seems that the boss's mysterious words can be regarded as a kind of reminder, right?
I can only say.
The triggering conditions for not killing the witch in this level are indeed difficult.
Feng Dong is now looking forward to the game ending without killing the witch at all.
After all, Linmu Studio has spent a lot of effort to design so many conditions. It is impossible that he will just give him an NPC that is dispensable in the end?
...
Feng Dong perfectly passed the eighth chapter and then continued to open the next level.
Time is also passing quickly.
At about three o'clock in the morning.
Feng Dong finally reached the penultimate chapter.
Because he was delayed by the eighth chapter for a long time, he reached the penultimate chapter. Originally, he should have been playing the final chapter at this time...
And the level design of the penultimate chapter is still great, but the plot makes people feel a little desperate.
This corrupt empire is really hopeless. It's
completely inhuman.
This is Feng Dong's feeling all the way through.
The upper echelons are weak, lazy and stupid.
There are so many black technologies, but they only think about themselves, and use high-pressure methods on the lower-level people, and don't care about their lives at all.
The plague was created by them. The source was an experiment. However, not only did they not think about the problem they created, but they directly pushed the problem to the witches, and then used this excuse to solve the witch tribe that they thought would have an impact on the regime...
As for the lower-class people who suffered from the plague, they didn't care at all. Not only that, in order to prevent themselves from being affected, they also erected a switch between the inner city and the lower city to execute any ordinary people who wanted to go to the inner city.
This is the case in the capital of the empire.
Not to mention other cities.
In fact,
because of the plague, they have already massacred two cities.
This empire.
There is really no hope.
When Feng Dong manipulated the male protagonist to kill the high-level officials of the empire, it was really fun,
but he was happy to kill, but he couldn't change the status quo. It was nothing more than replacing a weak, lazy and stupid high-level official.
So the more you play, the more powerless you feel.
After all, the male protagonist is only one person, and assassinating one or two people doesn't seem to change anything.
"Eh..."
Feng Dong saw another document from the top of the empire. He sighed when he saw the strategy on how to deal with plague patients, then he stretched his body a little by pressing his neck.
He was a little tired after sitting for so long.
But he didn't want to sleep yet, it was just... he suddenly wanted to see what others thought of the ending of the game.
At this time, players who were at a similar level to him and were not struggling with Chapter 8 should have played to the end, right?
Well, don't read the spoilers, just take a look at the reviews, just in case there is a reversal later.
Feng Dong opened the forum from the morning with anticipation.
On the forum.
The awesome post he posted about Chapter 5 was still on the front page.
But he didn't notice that his eyes were immediately attracted by another post.
[Linmu Studio, the game is a good game, but this ending is too desperate...]
