Chapter 405 This review is simply a lie!

Chapter 405 This review is simply a lie!

Lilith temporarily stopped sliding the mouse wheel.

Then she looked at Gu Fan with suspicion: "Do we have these things in our game?"

Gu Fan was silent for a moment: "As far as I know, there are none."

Lilith was also puzzled: "Yes, as far as I know, there are none!"

She was still not sure, but fortunately there were design documents for the game on her computer, so she opened all the documents to check.

First, the basic function document.

Then the concept draft of the world view background setting.

Then the detailed plot document of each character...

Since the plot of "Heartbeat Dream" itself is not small, these plots are basically scattered in several documents, and all the text contents are basically recorded.

These text contents are basically generated by fake-AI, and then several designers repeatedly screened and polished them, and then filled them into the game.

So in the plot documents, they are also saved and backed up in detail.

Of course, there are also very few contents in the game that are freely generated and answered by AI, but these contents only account for a very small part of the game, and basically will not have any subversive impact on the game plot.

Lilith first pressed ctrl+F and searched for similar keywords in several documents, but found nothing.

Then she was still worried, so she quickly scrolled the mouse and quickly went through all the documents from beginning to end.

Still no results!

Finally, Lilith opened the game again, found the part where AI could generate answers freely, and asked a few questions in person.

For example, the keywords "savior" and "end of the world" mentioned in the previous article on Shaowan Games.

The result was still nothing. The AI ​​answers given by the characters in the game were basically ambiguous, irrelevant, or even simply avoided the question.

This cannot be blamed on the fake-AI being unintelligent. The key is that these AI settings do not include any content about the savior and the end of the world. How can they answer?

The only part of the game that is related to these contents is only a small part of the early stage of the game.

For example, the opening CG of the game, and the one or two lines written in advance in the early stage.

As for why such a background was used, there have been many different opinions and all kinds of speculations. But for the insiders of Nitiantang, this has never been a problem, because everyone knows that it was just set up casually at the beginning, and no other considerations were given.

Just like many readers of books think they have found a deep foreshadowing and clues, but the author just wrote it casually at the time, without realizing that it was actually a pit that needed to be filled.

Lilith was even more speechless now.

"I want to see what tricks this Shaowan Game Network can come up with for me!"

Lilith slid the mouse wheel angrily and continued to read.

...

"We said before that "Heartbeat Dream" should actually be considered a meta game. It not only has conventional love content and horror content, but also adds psychological horror elements. In this way, it actually forms a four-dimensional game experience.

"The first dimension is the love part in the game.

"The second dimension is the horror part in the game.

"The third dimension is the horror part outside the game.

"The fourth dimension is the love part outside the game.

"These four dimensions actually influence and interact with each other, so that players can have a memorable and unforgettable game experience.

"Therefore, the plot of "Heartbeat Dreamland" should actually be analyzed from these four dimensions, and should not just stay at the level within the game, otherwise it will inevitably be a blind spot."

Next, this review briefly analyzes these four dimensions and the feelings they actually bring to players.

For players who have already played the game, this is actually not difficult to understand. If you have already experienced most of the game content, you can skip this section.

However, this review is still for those players who have not played the game, so it will be written in more detail in this regard.

In short, the emotional flow brought to players by "Heartbeat Dreamland" is ups and downs and constantly changing.

From the initial sweetness, to the subsequent shock, to the chill on the back extending outside the game, and finally to the touching and relief outside the game...

As the game content is peeled off layer by layer, players will feel as if the dimensional wall has been broken, and the characters in the game seem to stubbornly break out of the limitations of the code and have a direct communication with their real selves.

And this kind of communication brings players a completely different feeling.

After introducing these contents, the manuscript entered the main topic and began to formally analyze the real plot of the game.

"From the existing text in the game, we can only get common concepts such as "end of the world" and "savior". But for these common concepts, I have searched the game and did not get any possible explanation.

"Even if a character's AI is stuck with the highest authority of Eden through a special process, it is still impossible to ask her any useful information when talking to her at this time.

"Did the official not produce content in this regard?

"It cannot be said that there is no such possibility, but the possibility is extremely small.

“After all, as a meta game, the officials have already laid a lot of foreshadowings inside and outside the game. They are even willing to produce a large amount of text that has no practical meaning, while burying the truly useful information for players to discover.

“It’s impossible that only the most important part is missing!”

At this point, the review didn't explain it in too much detail, but most players know what he means.

No matter which girl becomes the guide, she will write a lot of diaries, and there will be content in the diary that "she suspects someone is peering through the male protagonist's pupils."

These contents are hidden in a large number of seemingly meaningless texts. Most of these texts are daily trivial matters or meaningless thoughts. Although you will find it interesting if you actually read it, most readers will not. This patience.

But even so, the official designers also worked hard when writing these contents. Even if they use fake-AI, they still have to screen and polish it, and the workload is also not small.

Therefore, this review draws a decisive conclusion.

Obviously, it is impossible for the official to achieve the ultimate in these areas, but only leave a big hole unfilled in the underlying world view of the game. This does not make sense at all.

Even if the officials accidentally forget to add Ri, there must be a correct answer within them.

And this review is to find out as much as possible what the correct answer is.

Since the length of the review cannot be too long, Zhang Qifeng does not continue to talk about it like other video authors do, and directly reveals the answer.

"I think that this savior is not the protagonist played by the player, nor is it other girls in the game. There is only one savior from beginning to end, and that is Arios!

"Everything that happens in the Garden of Eden is actually a means to stimulate Elrios to awaken as soon as possible. In other words, the romantic interactions and terrifying interactions between the player and other female characters are also part of this kind of play."

…

Lilith was a little confused. She blinked: "Huh?"

Obviously, this answer was completely beyond her expectation.

Elios?

Don't make trouble, that's really just an ordinary guide!

Arios was the first character designed for "Heartbeat Dreamland", but she was also the character that the project team invested the least resources into.

The reason is simple. As a guide, she does not have any love plots or horror plots.

If the completion degree of other characters who normally produce romance content and horror content is 100%, Arios's completion degree only needs about 20%.

With such limited content, how could she be forcibly recognized as the savior?

This unscientific!

…

But obviously, this review is very confident in proving that "Alios is the savior".

First of all, the male protagonist and other characters were excluded with good reason.

“The Garden of Eden screens out the savior, but if you think about it carefully, how can we screen out the savior?

"Is it through falling in love? That's definitely impossible.

"Although this kind of nonsensical setting may appear in ordinary love games, we already know that "Heartbeat Dreamland" is by no means an ordinary love game. Its core is actually a little sad and a little serious. of.

"So, the protagonist who plays the role of the player is having sex with various girls while awakening to become a savior. This plan of creating a savior is obviously too outrageous.

“Similarly, it doesn’t make sense that other girls are saviors.

“Although these girls will do some training, in fact it is not mandatory whether they train or not.

"If the players are willing, they can train at most two or three times a day. If the players are not interested in training, they can even take the girl shopping, swimming, playing in the water and sunbathing every day, without any training at all.

“This is also unreasonable.

“So, the training in the Garden of Eden is just a pretense, and actually has nothing to do with creating a savior.

"If you are just creating ordinary warriors who can fight monsters in the apocalypse, then these trainings will barely make sense, but to create a character like a 'savior', this level of training is absolutely impossible!"

…

Lilith and Gu Fan looked at each other, and both saw confusion on the other side.

The elimination method really succeeded for him!

Indeed, from the perspective of evaluation, neither the protagonist played by the player nor the various girls who fall in love with the protagonist can be called "savior".

But a new question came again. They were not worthy. Could it be that Alice, the gatekeeper, was worthy?

…

"How can the 'Savior' save the world? Obviously, she must master a powerful force that can surpass all conventional combat power.

"Otherwise, all conventional combat forces in this world have been wiped out. How can a well-trained warrior be called a savior?"

These two sentences seem quite convincing.

If you want to be a savior, you must at least have combat power that exceeds all the conventional forces in the original world. Otherwise, it will be useless to save people. If you rush to the end of the world, it will be just one more person, and it will not be able to reverse the situation of the war.

But here comes a new question. In "Heartbeat Dreamland", it seems that the so-called "powerful power beyond conventional combat power" has never been displayed?

Fortunately, this review is quick to explain.

"Before explaining what this power is, let's go back to a previous doubt, that is, from the perspective of the plot, what exactly is the horror content?

"Many people think that the horror content is just a fantasy or delusion of the protagonist.

"After all, after the protagonist escaped from the illusion, he was still in the Garden of Eden, the surrounding illusion did not change at all, and the girls who turned into monsters also returned to their original state, and they themselves did not have any relevant memories.

"All of this seems to be described as 'the protagonist is crazy'.

"But after deleting the guide Ellios, everything will return to normal for a short time, and no more horror content will appear.

"Obviously, the appearance of these horror contents is directly related to Ellios. This is not the protagonist going crazy, but more like Ellios, the guide, and a special ability of the Garden of Eden.

"Although other guides can also realize the existence of the player behind the protagonist, they will not create horror content. This undoubtedly shows that "Elios", "guide identity" and "Eden" itself are all problematic!

"I think this special ability comes from Elios herself. Among all the characters on the island, this initial guide is the most special.

"The identity of "guide" is equivalent to a special authority identity, or an amplifier of ability.

"And "Eden" itself is more like a huge testing ground, which exists precisely to stimulate Elios' special ability!

"Elios' special ability is that her inner subconscious will affect reality. This is a powerful force that can materialize the spiritual world and affect the material world. The horror content experienced by the players is the manifestation of this spiritual power, which is an uncontrolled situation.

"And the ultimate goal of Eden is to develop Elios' special ability so that she can control this power at will.

"It is conceivable that an existence that can communicate and exchange with the existence outside the game, an existence that can influence the material world with its own spirit, can surpass all the conventional forces in the original world, and can be worthy of the title of "Savior"!"

...

This content made Lilith's eyes widen again, feeling unbelievable.

What is this all about?

Serious nonsense!

But after carefully analyzing this content, combined with the feedback from players in the comment area below the review, Lilith had to admit that this paragraph seemed to make sense!

Indeed, after deleting the Elios file, there was no more horror content.

Although other guides will take over and gradually realize the existence of players, they will not be able to create terror.

Such a simple comparative experiment is enough to prove that being able to realize the existence of players is a special privilege given by the special identity of "guides"; and the appearance of horror content in the Garden of Eden is directly related to Elios.

What's more, this argument has a lot of evidence.

As mentioned in the review, only a special existence like Eleos who can break through the dimensional wall, directly realize the existence of the player, and have the power to change reality with consciousness can be worthy of the three words "savior".

After all, for all the characters in the game, the existence of the player is comparable to that of a god.

But it is not enough to just be able to realize the existence of the player. Any female character who becomes a guide can do this.

More importantly, can you not go crazy after realizing the existence of the player? Can you control your emotions and control your power?

Obviously, other characters can't do it.

After they realize the existence of the player, they immediately fall in love with the brain, and they are willing to crash the entire Garden of Eden and delete all other characters, just to completely control the Garden of Eden and be with the player forever.

When playing here for the first time, players may think that this is because these characters are all love-brained and the game is designed to be like this.

But now it seems that there seems to be some deeper rationality hidden.

On the one hand, their ability to enter the Garden of Eden is the result of careful selection, and they do not necessarily follow the thinking patterns of normal girls or even normal humans; on the other hand, the reason why they are crazy may be that the authority of the guide exceeds their established thinking scope.

Just like in some Cthulhu novels, once humans have advanced knowledge, they often fall into a state of madness.

The identity of the guide allows these game characters to glimpse the reality outside the game, which is obviously both a privilege and a curse.

From this perspective, Elliot is indeed the most special existence.

…

"In this way, we can roughly sort out the real story background of the game "Heartbeat Dream".

"A terrible disaster occurred in the future world, and humans were helpless. But humans discovered the specialness of Elliot and realized that she had a powerful force that could change the world.

"But this power must be stimulated in a certain way.

"So, humans created the Garden of Eden, let Elliot serve as a guide in the Garden of Eden, and let the protagonist and various characters come to the island. The purpose of the existence of all other characters is to help Elios awaken her special abilities.

"As a guide, Ellios gradually realized the existence of the player behind the protagonist, and inevitably fell in love with the player. But as a guide, she could not fall in love with the protagonist, let alone have further communication with the player behind the protagonist.

"So, under the amplification of the guide's authority, her special ability was released in a distorted way, and other female characters turned into terrible monsters and began to hunt down the protagonist. This also shows that in Ellios's subconscious, she hates the closeness between the protagonist and other female characters.

"But this ability is obviously not omnipotent. When the player chooses to quit the game, it is equivalent to Eden and even the entire world in the game stopping. Similarly, Ellios's consciousness is also suspended or temporarily cleared, which is why when the player enters the game again, Eden will briefly return to normal.

"At the same time, Ellios's personality is different from other characters. She will not be too willful and cause the entire Eden to collapse.

"When the player reaches the third stage after going through so much hardship, the character will take the initiative to leave the Garden of Eden. There are two possible explanations: one is that Elios could no longer tolerate this character, so she sent her away forever; the other is that the official of the Garden of Eden, that is, the deeper manager, believed that the existence of this character was not conducive to Elios' awakening and had no value in continuing to exist in the Garden of Eden, so she was sent away.

"The author is more inclined to the latter possibility.

"Because the way the guide eliminates a certain character is to delete the character's files, it is obviously not the guide's work to let the character leave the Garden of Eden.

"Finally, after the continuous efforts of the players inside and outside the game, Elios's special ability was completely activated in the battle with other characters with guide authority, and she finally became the real savior.

"At this time, Elios left the Garden of Eden, and everything in the Garden of Eden returned to normal.

"This shows that the mission of the Garden of Eden has been completed, Elios has awakened, and she has become the savior and is going to save the world. And she gave her powerful abilities and privileges to the players, allowing them to obtain all the rights of the Garden of Eden. Obviously, this is her last ripple.

"Players can choose to live happily and joyfully with any female character in the Garden of Eden forever, and this is the last blessing that Elios can give us."

...

At this time, Lilith's expression has become completely stunned.

It can be said that every sentence, every reasoning, and every development in the second half of this review is completely unimaginable to her!

What the hell?

It's just a small loophole that the producer has never considered, but it has been filled in with such a long essay?

This Shaowan Game Network is really against the sky!

What's more, judging from the comments of players under the review, there are actually quite a few people who buy into this!

"So that's how it is. Is the real plot like this?"

"Indeed, if it is explained this way, many of the doubts that were previously unexplainable can be explained clearly."

"So, this game is actually not fragmented at all? The romance part, the horror part, and the meta game part are actually connected by hidden plots behind the scenes? It's not a rough stitching, but a long-term plan?"

"It's no wonder that Shaowan Games' initial report was deliberately evasive, because any other report may produce spoilers, and once spoilers occur, players will not be able to experience this special feeling at all when they first see the game."

"Shaowan Games' website is really well-intentioned! Sure enough, this is the ethics of professional game media! Respect!"

The game "Heartbeat Dreamland" has collected a lot of negative reviews before, and the one with the most likes focuses on attacking the problem of "fragmentation" of this game.

Because at first glance, the romance part and the horror part of this game have no connection at all, and it seems more like Anti-Heaven forcibly stitched them together in order to deliberately scare players.

Including the meta game part, it is also quite unsystematic.

But now, with the completion of the plot, these three seemingly forced stitched contents actually have a deep internal connection, so the so-called "the content of "Heartbeat Dream" game is split" is naturally self-defeating!

And what about the previous report of Shaowan Games?

Originally, players were complaining that Shaowan Games knew that this game was a scam, but the interview was deliberately misleading, which was extremely evil.

But now it seems that if Shaowan Games spoilers in advance, it can certainly reduce the shock of players in the early stage, but it will also seriously affect the players' gaming experience.

And when the mystery is revealed, the shock of players saying goodbye to Elliot will naturally be greatly reduced.

If it is a general game media, they will definitely find ways to expose this explosive news.

If it is exposed before the game is released, it will definitely gain extremely high popularity.

Even if it affects the subsequent gaming experience, what does it matter? Anyway, for the game media, the reputation and sales of the game have nothing to do with them. They just need to have overwhelming traffic.

Unexpectedly, Shaowan Game Network actually adheres to professional ethics and always puts the player's gaming experience first. It would rather give up this overwhelming traffic and silently bear this unjust accusation.

Touching, this is really touching!

It is simply a model for all gaming media!

As for the unethical and scary things about "Heartbeat Dreamland"...

In fact, many players still cannot forgive Ni Tian Tang until now, but many people have already let it go.

After all, "Heartbeat Dreamland" is a special game. As mentioned in the review, if you want to establish the four dimensions of inside and outside the game, love and horror, and give players a brand new feeling, then the initial shock is inevitable.

There are many love games and horror games, but games like "Heartbeat Dreamland" are indeed unique.

Therefore, many players are relieved, and even gradually accept this setting, and begin to miss Arios infinitely.

Although other female characters are also in their prime and have their own merits, players can always find their favorite types among them.

Even though these female characters can have sweet love stories with the protagonist, there are a lot of CGs and cutscenes to relive.

Even though Arios does not have many roles in the game, and cannot even hold hands or hug with the player.

But she is indeed the most special one, leaving a very deep impression on all players, no matter whether the player likes a queen or a loli, gentle or arrogant.

…

“Bang!”

Lilith’s face turned pale, and she pounded her fist heavily on the table.

“Something is wrong, very wrong!

“Check, Gu Fan, check it for me!!

“Call Zhou Yang over here! Some of the functions here are obviously superfluous, I must know why this happened!”

But before Gu Fan could speak, Lilith changed her mind again.

“Forget it, don’t call Zhou Yang first. Check it for me first.”

Lilith suddenly thought that these functions were all done by Zhou Yang. If she called Zhou Yang over, would he tell the truth? It is highly unlikely.

So, it would be useless to ask, and it might even alarm the enemy.

Gu Fan actually did not participate much in the development of “Heartbeat Dream”. He was used to screen the problems first. If there were some places that even Gu Fan could not explain, then there must be something fishy, ​​and then Zhou Yang would be found to settle the accounts!
