Making a post-apocalyptic game: Depressing all players

Cultural export? It is by no means blindly pandering to

All the water friends were frightened by the sudden scream of the old woman and almost were sent away on the spot. The eerie paper man in the game was already creepy.

Another scream.

Damn it, the headphone party died on the spot.

“In order to ensure that I am alive, I decided to take off my headphones and watch the live broadcast again. I was fucked like this over and over again by the old woman, so I just split it.” “What should

I say about this matter? I mean, old woman, you The voice can be a little softer, a little more urgent, and a little delicate.”

“Good guy, this can also drive, right?”

“Even old women are not spared, I can only say that brothers are playing tricks. .”

“The plot of this game is becoming more and more confusing. Something bad seems to have happened in this gloomy old house. Many letters and Mr. Liu’s diary seem to be revealing clues and situations.”

“Everyone, please let me make a bold guess. It is estimated that the master of this house had some problems. It turned out that his wife was pregnant with the painter’s child. In the last moment, in order to prevent the news of his cuckoldry from spreading, he killed the master. Everyone.”

“That’s a good guess. Don’t guess again next time.”

While the water friends in the live broadcast room were talking, the little girl was already breathing heavily and continued to walk in this old and gloomy house. She was shocked Looking for items at once.

“Oh my god, this is such a funny mentality.”

“If a ghost suddenly appears next, will I be killed?”

She pushed open an old panel door.

Crunch –

I searched for a long time but found nothing. However, I accidentally found several cursed dolls hanging on a hanging rod. I wanted to trigger the subsequent plot but had no clue.

Think for a long time.

Finally, I took advantage of the barrage prompt.

The old woman and the stupid little girl finally realized that this suspension rod must be brought into some kind of balance, and the cursed dolls on both sides of it are more and less, and one side is missing arms and the other is missing legs, so some kind of puzzle solving and reconstruction is required. Adjustment.

After adding the cursed dolls that I collected before.

But it still cannot bring the two sides of the suspension rod into balance.

The little girl was confused.

Is it because I haven’t collected all the cursed dolls yet?

Based on the number of all the dolls here, she had roughly judged that the last one was missing. Without any hesitation, the little girl immediately started looking elsewhere.

Rummage through boxes and cabinets.

The weak flashlight light is even more penetrating here.

Crunch—

Finally, the silly little girl found the courage to find the last cursed doll.

Another diary of Mr. Liu was found nearby.

[Maybe I can try the spells in ancient books. I will make a few wooden curse dolls and look for a few silver needles. The arms and legs of the dolls must be equally heavy and must be made carefully. 】——Mr. Liu’s Diary 9.

Looking at this diary, the little girl looked a little surprised.

That is to say.

Are these cursed dolls made by Mr. Liu?

What was his purpose in making these dolls?

Was there someone in the house who had a problem with him and wanted to curse him?

After the friends in the live broadcast room read this clue, the barrage immediately followed.

“Mr. Liu? There is definitely something wrong with this person. All subsequent plot clues must focus on him. If we can find all his diaries, does that mean we can know the ins and outs of the whole thing.” ”

Yes, Why did such a tragedy happen in this mansion, and why did the male protagonist appear here? Maybe all of this is somehow connected.” ”

Who knows now? It all depends on what our players do later. Solve puzzles and explore.”

“Curse someone? Mr. Liu doesn’t seem to be easy.”

“As expected, Kyushu people know Kyushu people best. Knowing these elements can scare us, right?”

Players complained.

The little sister Dai quickly searched for various items in this ancient house.

Rummage through boxes and cabinets.

Just to complete the game plot faster.

However, compared with the ease with which domestic players and anchors can play, this horror game full of Chinese horror and Chinese elements seems a bit torturous for foreign anchors.

Chinese people are born with the ability to understand the horror of paper figures.

Its pale face looked horrifying.

It is burned to the deceased, representing death and companionship, and representing a kind of sustenance.

What’s more, it doesn’t actually have to be as ferocious as in the game.

Even if it looks like an ordinary paper man, suddenly jumping out of the gloomy house, it is enough to scare a lot of Chinese players in Kyushu, but a game production company of the size of Ninth Art Studio does not only cater to domestic players.

It also targets foreign players.

They also have many fans overseas.

Revenue is even twice as high as domestically.

This is destined to produce an English version and a Japanese version…and other versions. Even the dubbing and plot description need to be as close to the local customs as possible.

but no matter.

This is a “Chinese horror” game after all.

For Kyushu players, the first reaction when picking up a paper ingot is to find a brazier and burn it, because it is the cultural influence we have received and the cultural imprint left since childhood.

Things like paper money and gold ingots.

It is burned to the deceased.

(In the game, a newspaper on a certain table has a picture of burning paper ingots, and also has the words “general to the underworld”, which seems a bit unnecessary for Kyushu players.)

However, in order to take care of the gaming experience of overseas players, It does not appear too crude, which represents the superb game production concept of Ninth Art Studio.

They used this method to provide a certain level of prompting.

Many overseas players and streamers felt a sense of enlightenment when they discovered this easter egg.

Before and after burning.

A bottle of insecticide appeared in front of me.

Many overseas players are afraid to take this item. After all, in their minds, it represents an unknown, and many terrible things may even happen next.

However, for Kyushu players.

[Burn paper money to give to the dead and give gifts to the living. This is essentially a fair transaction. 】

There are many similar things.

For example… in the place where the big speaker gramophone is.

The first reaction of almost all Kyushu anchors was that the gramophone was missing the needle for reading the disc, while the Sakura Country and Bald Eagle anchors immediately reacted that the gramophone was missing its rocker.

This is probably another point of cultural difference.

But this kind of thing was not popular in China at that time, and only those in the upper class could encounter it. Therefore, it is essentially a Western thing, and it is normal to be unfamiliar with it.

besides.

For example, if you offer incense to the Bodhisattva for blessing, that room will not be attacked by ghosts… For domestic players, this is simply self-evident. After all, things like seeking psychological sustenance, in real life There are just too many.

However, for many overseas players.

But it’s a bit over the top.

They could hardly understand what the Bodhisattva meant.

So overseas players play this game.

In addition to lamenting that Ninth Art Studio has superb production, good modeling, and excellent soundtrack and plot, it also requires more time costs.

Only then can the subsequent plot be triggered.

But this is normal.

cultural export.

It is definitely not about catering blindly, but about letting others take the initiative to accept our Kyushu Chinese things and let others take the initiative to understand our traditional culture and our history.

This is the most important point to grasp.

Too much is too little.

It is too obscure and will not arouse the interest of overseas players.

But Ninth Art Studio obviously has a good grasp of the scale.

Not too much, not too little, just right.
