Chapter 21, First Review
Chapter 21, First Review
"drop--"
"Energy collected: 2218".
The system's sudden voice snapped Jiang Yi out of her daze, which was filled with boredom.
"Huh?" she slowly regained her senses. "Where did it come from?"
"It's the game that the host uploaded before."
"Ah..." Jiang Yi suddenly remembered.
The main problem was that after she uploaded the game, the system didn't react at all, causing Jiangyi to almost forget about it.
The system is now notifying me of a fear spike, which means... "Someone's playing the game?"
The system logged into the gaming headset and looked at it. "...Yes."
Although it's only a single download, at least some energy has been gained, right? Every beginning is difficult...
"Host, there is a new game rating," the system notified.
"Hmm?" Jiang Yi sat up from her chair, quite interested. "What did you write?" It was the first time she had seen someone comment on her game (subtitle).
After all, players of the previous horror games either died in the dungeons or never saw each other again after completing them. It was only after Jiangyi was able to leave the dungeons that she had the opportunity to meet those players she had met before again.
She asked the system to relay her first game rating.
The system's electronic voice began its emotionless, monotone reading:
"The game is so much fun!"
"I initially clicked on the game because of its odd icon style, and the game description was also quite confusing. However, seeing that the author had uploaded the game for several hours without anyone downloading it, I clicked on it just to encourage the author. I was even prepared to download it and then uninstall it, but unexpectedly—the game is really unique!"
"I don't know how to describe this game because I never really understood it!"
"Because it's completely different from the games I usually play! (If you're wondering, you can check out my profile to see what games I usually play.)"
"It doesn't require you to save the world, it doesn't require you to fight off invading enemies. I played for two or three hours and only encountered one guide NPC, and didn't even receive a single game quest... But!"
"I experienced a deep-seated fear in the game!"
"It's a fear completely different from the fear felt during Zerg battles or mech battles!"
"This game is truly amazing! Looking back now, the game's scenery was actually quite ordinary, with nothing deliberately designed to be scary, yet it still managed to send chills down your spine!"
"More importantly, I only played for two or three hours, but my mental strength dropped by more than 2000! [Screenshot of mental strength tester app with censored text][Screenshot of game time]"
"That's why I kept playing!"
"However, I also noticed some issues during the game, and I hope the author can consider my feedback—"
Hmm? The lazy look on Jiang Yi's face faded a little, and she perked up her ears.
"First, although the author's map is very interesting, and I've never seen any of the buildings in it before, I still hope the author can add annotations for the items. There are many things that I don't know what they are or what they are used for."
Huh? Jiang Yi slowly stroked her chin.
She hadn't expected this. After all, the dungeons in previous horror games were based on the players' real world at the time, so players wouldn't be unaware of or misunderstand the dungeon's background.
This is indeed a problem.
After all, if you don't understand anything, it will not only affect the gaming experience, but sometimes it may also fail to achieve the same level of horror as before.
However, when players touch an item and an item description pops up... that truly ruins the gaming experience. Players can't immerse themselves in the game, so they won't be scared, and they won't experience fear.
However... it can be unlocked after the game ends.
Just like how players in old horror games would receive items after completing a dungeon, after a round of holographic game, players can view the special items they touched in the game in the encyclopedia.
That way, you won't be completely clueless next time you play.
Jiang Yi instructed the system to record this.
The system continues reading aloud:
"Secondly, did the author forget to select the sensory system? Without the sense of smell and touch, it just doesn't feel right. Although it's already pretty scary without any senses, I still hope the author can add them. I want to see how terrifying the complete version is, hehe!"
"Finally, I hope the author can add some background music. The nights in the game are so quiet, it's actually a bit scary QAQ..."
The system has finished reading.
Jiang Yi was very interested in the "sensory system" mentioned in the comments: "What's that?"
After some research, it was determined that "it's the five senses system in the game."
Basic functions like "hearing" and "sight" are enabled by default; otherwise, what would be the point of playing the game if players entered it completely in the dark?
However, for things like "smell" and "taste," game developers usually need to input the specific taste themselves, so if they don't input it, the game will be completely blank.
"So that's how it is..." Jiang Yi nodded.
That definitely needs to be added.
"The background music in that game..." the system continued to prompt.
"?"
Jiang Yi looked at the bell on her wrist with a puzzled expression, her face asking, "Are you alright?": "Did the horror game's dungeon have background music too?"
What, are you afraid the players won't know that ghosts and monsters have appeared?
……
"Huh? The game has been updated?"
After a day of training, Tian Baiwei had just returned to her dormitory when she received a notification.
She clicked on the message and found it was from her previous review of the game "囍". The game's creator (the system-generated version) replied to the review: "Thank you for your support and suggestions. The game has now been updated. Enjoy the game!"
Tian Baiwei clicked on the game version and actually saw the update description.
"Yay, the game's sensory system has been added!"
"You can view the encyclopedia after the game ends... Well, it's better than having none at all."
"BGM...BGM...wait, it doesn't seem to be written." Maybe the author is looking for someone to commission one? After all, game music requires purchasing copyrights.
Two out of the three suggestions were revised, which shows that the author pays attention to the player experience, and Tian Baiwei is already very satisfied.
Now that the game update was complete, Tian Baiwei opened the class group chat: "Yan Junchi".
She tagged the male classmate who had previously picked a fight with her and sent him a message without any hesitation: "The game I mentioned last time has been updated."
"You haven't forgotten what you said last time about 'experiencing it firsthand,' have you?"
