Chapter 1154: Infinite loop of sound
Lin Xue was groping in a dark cave, very scared, but not the kind of fear that scared to go.
Because traditional horror games limit the range of visibility, the smaller the range, the stronger the player's sense of horror.
For example, the visible range of normal people is 3 to 5 meters in open areas. In caves and buildings, this range may become several meters due to the limitations of the building itself. If it is in the dark, this visible range will be shortened again. One or two meters, even a piece of dark.
Darkness represents the unknown and danger, so the smaller the visual range, the stronger the fear inside the player.
But the difference in this game is that although the surroundings are dark, the surrounding things can be seen by the players.
It’s just a “bat view”.
On the one hand, darkness strengthens the fear of the player's heart. On the other hand, all factors are visible and relieved to some extent.
So under the superposition of the two feelings, Lin Xue is not so scared.
But the problem is that the player's feelings about the sound become extremely sensitive.
As we all know, when people's vision is limited, the hearing will become acute. For example, many blind people have far better hearing and touch than normal people.
At this time, Lin Xue was in such a state, surrounded by darkness, only a large number of white virtual frames, and the hearing became very sharp when the vision was limited.
The cave at this time is very quiet, so every subtle sound will sting her nerves.
When the protagonist walks on the metal platform, it will make a clear footstep; when walking in the water, there will be a slap in the water; and the protagonist will clap, cough, and talk in order to explore the road. These sounds are silent. The cave is also very obvious.
Then there is a problem: if you want to see farther, you have to make a bigger sound, but a bigger voice will give players a stronger sense of insecurity.
Think about it, if you walk in a strange, dark environment, you don't know where there will be enemies, normal people will be careful not to make a sound, so as not to be noticed by the enemy.
Shouting in the dark, this is a way of violating human survival instinct, but in this game, in order to see everything around, the player has to do this.
There is a seven-turned and eight-way road in the cave, but fortunately there is no road, it is a road.
However, every time he passes the corner or needs to crouch through the obstacle, Lin Xue feels that his whole body muscles are tight and his hair is straight.
Going forward for about two minutes or so, bypassing countless intersections, and a sharp call came from the front.
This voice is a bit like a baby cry in a horror movie. It is sharp, sorghum, and has a long duration. In such a quiet environment, it is simply mental pollution.
What's even more terrifying is that every time this scream comes, the white virtual frame around it will be dyed red, giving a very strong sense of crisis.
Lin Xue can judge the location of this monster through the source of the red sound wave, it is getting closer and closer.
"I feel like I can't do it... but I suddenly understand why this game is called a low-cost horror game, and the cost is really low..."
Lin Xue said that he has never seen such a game that saves money...
Because the game is not only the scenes in the beginning, but the main level scenes are all in such a dark environment. Even if you don't use textures, you can finish the outline with white lines...
Like other horror games, in order to set off a scene of horror, it is often necessary to do very complicated scenes and monsters. The more realistic the plasma, the residual limbs and the internal organs are.
This game is not used at all, all are outlines, and the results are particularly scary...
Continue to go inside, Lin Xue finally saw the true face of the monster.
"My God, what is this, so disgusting, my mother, I want to go home..."
Lin Xue did not dare to speak loudly, watching the horrible monster from afar.
The sound is very similar to a baby and looks like a baby. But this is a deformed baby, keeping the baby's body size, the head is big, but the size is about one meter five.
Moreover, its head and body are covered with deformed tumors or bumps. Lin Xue can't judge what those things are. After all, everything she sees now has only outlines, but in any case, the sound of this monster. The appearance and movement will only give people a feeling, it is disgusting.
This monster and Lin Xue are separated by an iron fence. Lin Xue squats and wants to circumvent, but not, because as soon as she stops making a sound, the surrounding will immediately fall into a dark state.
Therefore, Lin Xue can only continue to clap while moving forward. Every time she claps her hand, the baby monster will scream and then madly run to search her position, for example, there is an iron fence, the monster is not Come.
Clapping and screaming, one after another, match each other.
Lin Xue confirmed that after this monster could not come, this will endure the spirit pollution of screams and continue to move forward.
Suddenly, Lin Xue found a woman's shoes on the ground, but when she bent down and wanted to go, the board on the ground suddenly collapsed!
Lin Xue was scared and screamed and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, this distance is not particularly high, Lin Xue climbed up and looked up.
It must be gone.
"Well, this is the basic operation of the horror game, calm, calm..."
Lin Xue continued to move forward while comforting himself.
But this time she found out that she seemed to fall in the nest of the baby monster...
There was no fence separated this time. The baby monster was screaming and screaming in the snow four or five meters in front of Lin Xue.
Lin Xue was too flustered. She wanted to go to the right side of the road to avoid the monsters. As a result, she did not pay attention and stepped on the puddle.
"Oh! Oh!"
Lin Xue’s voice moving in the water was very loud. The baby monster immediately screamed and rushed toward Lin Xue!
Lin Xue was scared and screamed. This time it exposed his position. The baby monster rushed straight up and grabbed Lin Xue’s arm!
Lin Xue felt that his left hand was caught and scared and screamed loudly, but the baby rushed straight up, and then Lin Xue’s screen turned into a blood red.
After the resurrection, Lin Xue could still feel his legs tremble constantly.
"Scared me.... No, this game seems to be in an infinite loop. I can't see the road without making a sound. The sound will attract monsters, and it will be second to me..."
Lin Xue was too flustered. She had already understood after she had died. This game is the same as "Escape". The player has no room for rebellion. He can only deal with monsters through wisdom.
But how can we get the monster away?
Lin Xue cautiously groped forward, and suddenly she saw the stones on the ground.
