Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

"Damn it, isn't this the scene of the new game!?"

"This isn't really a horror game, is it?" Song Ren, who was lying in the VR game compartment, shuddered.

What did he see?

The gray sky, the moon and the stars are covered by countless dark clouds, and the white things in the sky are like snowflakes fluttering in the wind.

A huge monster stood there in the distance in the dark, its entire body made up of hair and bones, but disappeared in the next moment.

The streets in the distance are full of eerie, dim street lights, sculptures holding candles, and churches and bell towers in the distance.

The dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipated, and the blood moon hung low.

At the same time, the bells of the bell tower of the distant church rang.

This is a weird town. Song Ren is quite knowledgeable. The architectural style of the whole town is Victorian style, but it is also mixed with Gothic features.

In the dark night, under the illumination of the blood moon and dim yellow lights, it looks mysterious and gloomy.

Countless spire buildings and silver fluttering in the night sky look weird and ethereal.

"Gudong..." Song Ren swallowed silently, and for a moment he wanted to quit.

This environment, this scene, the taste is too strong!

However, although he was panicking in his heart, his curiosity about the new Nebula game still drove Song Ren to explore.

Very unfree, Song Ren found that he could only do one thing here, that is to move forward.

It's like a controlled puppet, just like Desmond who was controlled by Juno and stabbed Daisy to death in Assassin's Creed.

At that time, the player had no way to control his character, and could only move him forward.

Carefully controlling himself in the game to move forward, the face of the entire town was shown one by one in front of his eyes.

The minaret on the roof and the fences that can be seen everywhere, faintly exude a hostile atmosphere in the dark night, delicate but chaotic.

A few dim yellow street lamps illuminate the messy streets and alleys, making it look like a mess.

The empty stroller was just abandoned in the middle of the street.

The distant bell rang.

Crossing the corner of the street, I came to a place similar to a square in the middle of the town. There was a crowd of people in front of me, but everyone was like a walking dead.

In addition to the streets and alleys, there is also a group of people holding torches, sickles and other weapons, with three or two mad dogs that are already bloody, walking through the streets and alleys as if they are patrolling, the atmosphere is dull and depressing.

Song Ren felt a little creepy just by looking at it.

Moving on, he pushed open a door, and an old and mysterious voice sounded in his ears.

'Dear friend... Beware, this blood is evil! ’

'And when night falls, the hunter will return...'

As the words fell, Song Ren suddenly found that the camera was slowly zooming out from the original first point of view.

At this time, he saw his character, and the clothes were not the clothes he had on the island before.

He was wearing a dark trench coat with black and red blood stains, a three-cornered hat on his head, a shotgun in one hand, and a meat saw in the other.

The gate of the town was pushed open, and the camera extended into the distance.

The burning monsters on the cross, the women praying at the tombstones, the cries of babies, and the sound of bells.

With the sound of another town bell, the picture in front of Song Ren gradually became blurred.

When it became clear again, he found himself lying on a hospital bed.

There is a blood transfusion bottle above his head. The dirty blood transfusion bottle is filled with yellow liquid, and blood stains, dust and scratches are congealed on the surface of the blood transfusion bottle.

This seems to be a hospital clinic?

Before he could understand, a voice came from beside him.

'Yanan... This is the hometown of the Blood Ritual, all you have to do is unravel its mysteries, but where should a foreigner like you start? ’

'It's very simple, as long as you inject yourself some Ya Nan's blood. ’

'No matter what happens, you'll just think it's nothing more than a little nightmare. ’

A drop of bright red blood dripped from the top of the transfusion bottle, mixed with the yellow liquid in it.

The bright red blood slowly fainted, and in this yellow liquid, the color of this drop of blood gradually became darker.

'A long time ago, the plague of beasts ravaged the old Yanan. ’

'They were left to rot until they died, and now all that is heard there is the roar of the beast. ’

Following the voice of the narrator, scenes of 'hallucinations' appeared in front of Song Ren's eyes.

Werewolf-like beasts, they howl hideously at night.

But the next moment in the darkness, a hunter with a shotgun and a meat saw appeared, and they swung their weapons to chop off the beast's head.

‘We are filled with a thirst for blood, that fills us with satisfaction and quells our fears. ’

'But beware of the weak side of the human will, this blood makes us human, makes us more than human, but also makes us no longer human! ’

In the crowds wandering in Yanan, the burned bones and the church full of incense, as the bells rang, a figure roared like a beast in the dark shadow.

An indescribable monster appeared under the moon, and then suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, the screen returns to Yanan.

The werewolf's claws penetrated the hunter's chest.

The bloodthirsty monster grabbed the hunter like a ragdoll and threw it aside.

The picture in front of Song Ren also fell into darkness, and what appeared in front of him turned out to be a cemetery like a cemetery.

Not far away under the moon is a European-style church-style building, and in front of the steps a tall woman in Gothic clothing is standing there.

'Goodbye... good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world. ’

He didn't wait for Song Ren to figure out what was going on before he finished speaking. In the game, he knelt down on one knee in front of a tombstone and slowly closed his eyes.

What appeared in front of him next were scenes of battles.

Burning flames, rotting corpses, and the spooky tomb slave.

Hunters use a variety of weapons to slaughter countless strange monsters.

The black trench coat gradually turned scarlet as he hunted monsters.

In the end, the countless hunters slowly disappeared, and only the last hunter who could not see the front was left. He turned his back to the hunter and said in a hoarse voice under the moon.

'Tonight, Geman joins the hunt! ’

………………

Song Ren, who returned to the Nebula world, has not recovered yet.

Obviously this thing is a promotional video for him to actually experience it.

It's just made into a VR-themed mode.

There was one other thing he could be sure of.

That is, this may not be a horror game, after all, no horror game will show such violence, hunting all kinds of slaughter monsters throughout the process.

From the performance point of view, there is no doubt that this is a refreshing game.

But with the style of this game, why does he feel so familiar? There is a feeling of deja vu!
