Creating a zombie in a mountain village terrifies players worldwide.

Chapter 17: A Terrible Game That Deserves a Perfect Score

This game was released last year and was produced by "Pixel Interactive Entertainment", a company that was once very popular in China but is now very controversial.

It is a masterpiece that claims to be a "male-oriented romance horror game".

It is said that the research and development cost was as high as several hundred million.

In the game, players will play the role of a mansion landlord, living under the same roof with three beautiful female tenants with very different personalities.

Doesn't that sound exciting? Sensual? And suggestive?

The gameplay is indeed "unique".

Players need to use the surveillance cameras installed in the room to secretly observe the daily lives of these three beautiful women.

It turned out they were all ghosts.

Then they began to uncover the secrets of their backgrounds and explore their past lives.

Through interactions such as chatting, giving gifts, cooking, and fulfilling last wishes, they gradually increase their mutual affection.

Ultimately, he broke down the boundaries between humans and demons, and brought them all into his harem.

Countless players eagerly awaited the game's release.

I thought this would be a game like those classic Japanese romance games, full of sweetness and warmth, with some exciting "fan service" elements.

However, once players actually entered the game, they realized how wrong they had been.

Because the game's producer is an "awakened individual" who returned from a major Western company.

He was deeply influenced by Western "progressive thought".

They are determined to vigorously promote LGBT culture and advocate so-called "political correctness" on Chinese soil.

Therefore, he meticulously designed three extremely charming female ghost characters.

The first female ghost was short, fat, and round, with a big chicken leg in her left hand and an iced cola in her right, and her sausage-like mouth never stopped chewing.

The second female ghost is a long-haired man with multicolored hair. He keeps saying, "Don't be so rigid about gender, we still have a chance." He hasn't even undergone gender reassignment surgery; he just suffers from gender dysphoria and thinks he's a woman. But what he pulls out is bigger than the protagonist's.

The third female ghost was a black woman with dreadlocks, eight-pack abs, a strong physique, a ring on her nose, and extensive tattoos, exuding a "wild" aura.

The players were completely dumbfounded.

With three female leads looking like this, who the hell could bring themselves to do it?
They still dare to charge 399 yuan?
This game even received a perfect score from Western gaming media.

But players don't care about anything else; if you feed them shit, they'll complain!

In an instant, players both at home and abroad were furious, and all sorts of criticisms and ridicule came flooding in.

It even trended on social media at one point.

Faced with the criticism from players, the producer said he didn't care and would let them criticize him.

Anyway, the game has already received a perfect score of 10 from Western media. As for you guys, play it if you want, or get lost if you don't.

The player took one look and thought, "Wow, they've got a setup, haven't they?"

The producer's arrogance completely enraged the players.

People spontaneously organized themselves and spread the word on various gaming communities and social media platforms of SkyNet.

We urge all players to boycott this game.

If you have already purchased, please apply for a refund immediately.

If the refund is unsuccessful, write a short essay, and I guarantee you'll get a refund.

In an unprecedented display of unity, the players reached an astonishing consensus.

I will absolutely not buy this "garbage game".

Ultimately, the game's sales were dismal.

The producer then panicked.

He immediately escalated the situation, posting online that this was racial discrimination!

If you don't buy this game, you're bullying the vulnerable!
However, his remarks drew even fiercer criticism.

The players started cursing even more fiercely.

However, the Western side acted quickly. Major online communities immediately began to silence critics, deleting posts and banning users as soon as they discovered Western players criticizing the game.

But it's different in China. Because they can't reach everywhere, this game has been heavily criticized in various gaming communities.

It was once nailed to the pillar of shame in the gaming industry.

Now, a year later, the producer has not learned his lesson and is reportedly developing a new LGBT game.

According to rumors, the new game is a space adventure game. The producer has reportedly cast an unattractive, bald, monkey-faced, squinty-eyed Asian woman as the game's female protagonist.

Players are speechless at the producer's "persistence".

All I can say is: whatever makes you happy, I'll admit defeat if you buy it.

It was against this backdrop that a truly excellent, fun, and scary horror game emerged.

This masterpiece, which cost hundreds of millions of yuan, was dragged out and severely criticized.

It's as if it's telling those developers, "What kind of ideas are you coming up with? This is what players should be playing!"

The contrast between the two is particularly amusing and makes people want to laugh.

So the players put aside their unpleasantness and started commenting on the video.

Thus, after two days of going viral, the true ending video of "The Weird Videotape" reached more than 400 million views and successfully became a trending topic.

Online discussions about the game are in full swing.

Every post and every comment is like adding fuel to the fire.

With the enthusiastic support of netizens, the amount raised on the crowdfunding platform soared and quickly surpassed the 100,000 yuan mark set by the developer O5.

This massive influx of traffic and popularity naturally attracted the attention of those astute livestreamers.

They swarmed the game like hungry wolves smelling meat bones.

Immediately, the various live streaming rooms erupted in wailing and screaming.

"Ah! What is this thing?! Help!"

"Holy crap! I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight!"

"My goodness! I was so scared I almost had a heart attack!"

Viewers and fans were overjoyed, and they edited the moment when the streamer was embarrassed into clips and posted them online.

As a result, the fame of "The Weird Videotape" grew even more, like a snowball rolling downhill, eventually reaching the top of the new game trending list.

Such astonishing exposure naturally attracted the attention of those in the gaming industry.

For example, inside the well-known game company "Pixel Interactive Entertainment", two employees were eating steamed buns and fried dough sticks while chatting about this horror game.

"Hey, Yu-ge, have you played that horror game that's been all the rage online lately? It's called something like 'Strange Videotape'."

Luo Xiaoqin, who had just graduated, asked Yu Feng across from her with half a steamed bun in her mouth, her words muffled.

A name tag hung on her large chest, bearing her name: Trainee Graphic Designer - Luo Xiaoqin.

In this day and age, although people can work in the SkyNet without going to the office, many companies still require their employees to come to the office.

First, it facilitates management; second, it ensures security; third, it guarantees that company secrets will not be leaked; fourth, it is for monitoring attendance; and fifth, it is for addressing tardiness.

In short, the company provides employees with virtual workspaces and desktop computers, depending on which one you prefer for your work.

Yu Feng rolled his eyes as he looked at his good friend's sister and said.

"With endless overtime work every day, where do I find the time to play games?"

"Besides, you and your brother know how scared I am. I can't even watch horror movies, let alone play horror games?"

"Just say you want to inherit my credit card."

Luo Xiaoqin quickly swallowed the bun and chuckled.

"That's a pity, Brother Yu, this game is really interesting."

“My brother played it last night. He even bragged that he was brave, but he got so scared in the Skynet that he screamed. It cracked me up.”

Luo Xiaoqin winked and made faces, looking rather smug.

Yu Feng shook his head and took a sip of soy milk.

"I've watched the game, and I've also looked into the producer."

"This game is okay to play on a computer, at least there's some sense of security through the screen. But forget about Skynet, the immersion is too much for me."

"If I really play this game, I'm afraid I'll have to sleep with the lights on."

Luo Xiaoqin nodded in deep agreement: "Indeed, I wouldn't dare to play either."

"But then again, I really didn't expect a horror game..."

Before she could finish speaking, a male voice interrupted.

"It's just a trash game that became popular purely by luck; it doesn't require any skill."
