Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 157 What?Can it cure depression?

Beacon Country, Gotham City, Arkham Asylum.

"Doctor, can you be quiet? I just want to be alone right now."

The patient turned his head to the side and left Joseph with the back of his head, causing the heated atmosphere in the ward to drop to freezing point in an instant.

Joseph's upper and lower lips collided slightly, but in the end there was still no sound.

"Well, if that makes you comfortable Cole, feel free to call me if you need to."

Joseph made an embarrassing scene, turned and left, but when he closed the door of the ward, his movements were very light.

Joseph did not stop, but turned around and walked to the bathroom.

Looking at the funny clown face in the mirror, Joseph took off the funny red nose on the tip of his nose, and then washed the oil paint on his face with clean water, and the whole person began to cry silently.

He's been a very empathetic guy since he was a kid, otherwise he wouldn't be a psychiatrist.

But recently, this patient named Cole has brought him a lot of pain.

Cole suffered from extremely severe depression. After he attempted suicide three times in succession, he was finally sent to Arkham by his parents.

To be honest, this is not the first time Joseph has been with a depressed patient, but a patient like Cole, who is completely immersed in his own world, still makes Joseph a little bit at a loss.

When he hit the wall several times in succession and felt Cole's sense of despair emanating from the inside out, Joseph was also affected to a certain extent.

This made him start to deny himself, and began to try to use every method he could think of to help Cole open his inner knot.

But obviously, this time, he failed again.

While washing the oil paint on his face with clean water, Joseph couldn't tell whether it was water or tears on his face for a moment.

Going home at night, his wife also saw Joseph's emotions.

The two hugged each other very deeply and talked to each other deeply. They hugged Joseph's wife tightly and said:

"Honey, maybe you can start with Cole's parents."

The next day, Joseph called Cole's parents.

"Yes, I'm Joseph, I'm mainly calling to find out if Cole has any hobbies?

I know I have asked this question before, but, for the sake of Cole's health, I still hope that you can think about it, even if there is a slight possibility, it may have a considerable impact on Cole. s help. "

"I don't know, Cole has been from a long time ago... But when he was very young, he liked me to play NES with him..."

It took a lot of effort for Joseph to convince the hospital to let him bring the computer into the ward, which was done with the permission of Cole's parents.

A difficult problem immediately followed was placed in front of Joseph. What kind of game can bring Cole's emotions up?

That game should be able to bring strong stimulation to people.

Joseph started posting online:

"The games on the market are really inferior. Is there any game that can bring me a little excitement? "

Soon, someone replied to him.

"Dude, listen to me, you should try the dark soul of the original heart!"

"Yes, Dark Soul will never let you down! Believe me, when you play this game, you can feel the thrill stronger than flying leaves!"

"Wang Defa? Are you really playing a game with me?"

Dark Souls is a very popular game.

But for Cole's physical and mental health, Joseph still collected a lot of information related to Dark Souls on the Internet. After learning that this game does not contain blood, violence, or sex elements, he still decided to take this game. Give Cole a try.

Another morning.

Cole, who was lying on the restraint chair, watched Joseph push a computer into the ward, his expression fluctuated slightly, and then there was no response.

Who cares?life is boring...

"Cole, I heard from your father that you are a master at the game, and it happened that I recently encountered a very difficult game, and I couldn't beat it no matter how hard I played.

But I'm a doctor, you know, people like us have a very good face, I don't want to share this kind of thing with others, can you help me? "

"Not interested in."

Cole's words directly poured a basin of cold water on the top of Joseph's head, and he smiled awkwardly:
"Can't you really help me? If you help me, I can help you too."

"Can you let me go?"

Cole looked at Joseph with a calm face. Although he didn't say it clearly, Joseph could clearly see in his eyes the meaning of "as long as you untie me, I will jump from the window".

"You know that's impossible."

Joseph's mood was broken, but he still forced a smile.

Obviously, playing games is not very useful for Cole, he has completely lost any interest in games.

But do I just go out in such a despondent way?

Joseph found a random place to sit down, he really wanted to vent hard, but he knew that he shouldn't do it.

Looking at the computer in front of him, looking at the handle in his hand, he somehow opened the game called Dark Souls directly, and played it silently.

See, it's not just Cole running away from reality, Joseph is running away too.

The game enters the main interface.

Pinch people.

Joseph randomly chose a mage to start, and then entered the CG, the ancient dragon war.

The exquisite CG and the old woman's whispers quickly made Joseph, who was in a mess and wanted to find a place to escape from reality, completely addicted to it.

He didn't see at all that Cole, who was bound to the bed beside him, was a little engrossed in watching the game.

The fire will be extinguished, the world will end, and the undead will come into being.

We bear the entrustment of the knights and step out of the Undead House to go to Rhodeland, the land of ancient kings, for a pilgrimage. How soul-stirring is it?
10 minute later.

"Fake squid! Luo, you are simply the most obscene female cousin!"

Violent foul language spat out from the mouth of the usually gentle doctor, resounding throughout the ward.

Just now, Joseph finished his journey to the Northern Undead Hospital and entered Rhodeland, and then he was warmly received by the living corpses on the mountain road to the Undead Town outside the city.

I have heard that this game is very malicious, but before actually getting started with it, Joseph never thought that this game would be so malicious!
But after blurting out, Joseph regretted it.

This is not his home, this is in a hospital ward.

If people knew that he was hiding here to play games or even swear because he just escaped from reality, once Cole's family planned to pursue him and sue him, his business license might be revoked directly!

Fortunately, no one found out...

Joseph looked back in a panic, but saw an old man with a white beard in his sight.

Oh buy Karma!It's the dean of Falk Squid!

Just when Joseph imagined that his business license was about to be revoked, and then the house was forfeited and the bank took it away, his wife sued him, and he lived on the street and became a homeless man, an unexpected news came from behind him. sound.

"Doctor, can... show me that game?"

Ok? !

Joseph couldn't believe his ears.

It's Cole!Cole has a reaction to this game!
"If it doesn't work, forget it."

Cole's face had a blush visible to the naked eye, and it could be seen that he took a lot of courage to make this request.

How can Joseph care about the dean of Fake Squid now? Cole's reaction to this game is the most important thing!
"of course can!"

He hastily shoved the handle into Cole's hand.

After all, with his hands and feet tied up with restraint ropes, it was a bit difficult for Cole to play, but he also knew that it was impossible for the doctor to let him go.

He's just depressed, not stupid.

then……

Joseph just watched this guy open a new save file.

Can't you play my files?Damn it!

The moment he touched the handle, there was nothing in Cole's world except the computer in front of him.

He focused on the game in front of him, and looked at the game CG that countless people in the game circle called "Old Dragon War".

Joseph also put on the earphones for Cole very thoughtfully.

The sense of immersion is completely different from watching others play and playing by yourself.

Cole was instantly immersed in the game world of Dark Souls.

Although I haven't touched the game for a long time, the novice guide of Dark Souls is indeed very good, but it is a bit difficult to operate.

When Cole first saw the big ass of the Undead House, Cole was filled with shock. He never imagined that he could fight against such a powerful demon.

He died once, twice, but when he successfully defeated the demon with his own efforts, he cheered happily.

"awesome!"

Joseph sat on the chair and looked at Cole stiffly. He didn't even dare to take a big breath, for fear of breaking Cole's state at the moment.

Accompanied by Cole's cheers, his whole body suddenly relaxed, feeling the soreness in his neck and waist, he raised the corners of his mouth, and leaned back slightly.

But it was obvious that he had hit something behind him.

Joseph turned his head to look, but saw that the dean was also smiling at the moment, looking at Cole in front of him.

Both parties wisely did not break the atmosphere at the moment.

into the night.

The dean crossed his fingers and looked at Joseph in front of him.

"Joseph, I think we can try to start a new topic about the application of games in the treatment of depression.

I would like to invite you to be the main person in charge of this project. I will give you a special approval for the funds from the academy. What do you think? "

"I find this proposal very tempting."

It has to be said that when it comes to issues related to real money, the action is always extraordinarily fast.

After a complete and comprehensive survey of Cole's mental condition, it was naturally concluded that his depression had been greatly alleviated.

Soon, a pilot group for "Game Therapy for Depression" was established and the research process began.

"A Game Can Be So Powerful in Treating Depression!" "

As soon as the news came out, most of the Beacon Country was shocked, and the news tended to spread in all directions.

At this time, Robert, who was sitting in the extended Lincoln, looked at Luo Bai in front of him with a strange expression:
"Luo, you can really surprise me!

Looking at it this way, this year's TGA's best game of the year is none other than Dark Souls. "

At this moment, Luo Bai didn't know what happened, but a big question mark floated across his forehead.
