Soon, many streamers gave surprisingly consistent reviews.

"The visuals are pleasing, the voice acting is excellent, the characters are endearing, and while the gameplay isn't complicated, there are tons of interactive details. Most importantly, this game doesn't rush you into romance; the first few hours feel like strolling through a talking zoo, which is perfect for relaxing."

"I was prepared to play through it in four or five hours, but it seems there's more content than I expected. Just the characters that have appeared so far, each route could probably keep me playing for quite a while."

"This time, Chaoxi has really changed its ways! They didn't trap you, they didn't torture you, and they didn't suddenly tell you halfway through that there was nothing left to do. Brothers, this is the first time I've felt truly at ease in Chaoxi games!"

"This is my first time experiencing Chaoxi Games, and the atmosphere here is wonderful!"

"It's really therapeutic!"

As soon as he said that, the live stream chat burst into laughter.

Someone issued a reminder:

"Don't speak too soon."

"We suggest the streamer prepare some nitroglycerin tablets in advance!"

The streamer, however, didn't care at all.

"What else can we do? It's just a dating sim; we can't exactly blow up the zoo while playing, can we?"

In the game scene at this moment, Xue Tuan is excitedly dragging Ning Chang'an along to challenge the buffet.

She squatted down beside her, seriously formulating a battle plan.

"No drinks, no fruit, they'll fill me up."

"We can only get water from food!"

Snowball is giving a guide to eating at a buffet in her soft, sweet voice, creating a very heartwarming scene.

The anchor glanced at it and immediately relaxed.

"Look how healing it is, and how good it is for eating."

"I'll put it this way today: 'Love Talks with People' is definitely the most suitable game for casual players right now."

Similar comments are becoming increasingly common.

Healing, relaxing, vivid characters, comfortable voice acting, and natural interaction were among the most frequently used words in the first few hours after the game's release.

Many casual players who were initially hesitant jumped in quickly after seeing these positive reviews.

"Bought it!"

"I just like games that don't put any pressure on me."

"Going home in the evening, grabbing a drink, strolling around the zoo, chatting with the cats—isn't that more enjoyable than playing ranked games?"

however.

This cheerful and silly atmosphere only lasted until evening.

As the first wave of hardcore players and speedrun streamers grinded into the mid-to-late game, they entered that familiar [psychological counseling room].

Furthermore, with different choices leading to various bizarre and heartbreaking endings...

Around 8 p.m., public opinion across the internet underwent a dramatic reversal!

All the players were instantly shocked and moved to tears!

At this point, the comments on the forum have taken on a completely new type.

"Holy crap! Who said that? This is supposed to be a healing dating sim?"

"Does anyone understand this?! This is a ton of people! And how come this snowball can rap?! What kind of underground rapper is this?! I'm calling the police!"

"Now I finally understand why I was constantly reminded to stay calm at the start of the game; it turns out that this message was actually meant for the players, right?!"

"I'm devastated! It's not a fox, not a cat, not a goose—what on earth was I studying so diligently for the past few hours?!"

"Yeah, it's just like an exam! The answers I calculated weren't in the multiple-choice questions!"

What left players across the internet most bewildered and shocked was not the reversal of the game's worldview.

Instead, when they were exchanging tips and tricks in groups and forums, they were suddenly horrified to discover that the game's ending wasn't the only one!

It has countless absurdly branching endings!

As the discussion deepened, all sorts of screenshots of clearing the game were frantically posted online, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"Wait a minute, you were Shen Wanzhao in the end?"

"yes."

"The last person I saw was Jiang Banxia!"

"You saw someone? I didn't see anything!"

"what?"

"What kind of weird ending is that?!"

More and more screenshots of completing the game are being posted online by players.

This comparison made everyone slowly realize that "Love Requires Talking to People" doesn't actually have a standard ending.

In the Light Snowball route, among the endings players have discovered so far, the following has appeared:

There are multiple endings, such as "At the time, it seemed ordinary," "Old friends change easily," and "The most delicious thing in life is simple joy."

In Qinghe's storyline, someone soon encountered a regrettable ending.

Tomorrow we'll be separated by mountains, and the world will be uncertain.

In addition, some players were unable to fully recover their memories before the ending.

Ning Chang'an saw the true faces of those people again, but still couldn't recall their past stories.

In the end, he simply reached out his hand again.

"Have we met before?"

The ending slowly emerges.

If only life could be as beautiful as our first meeting.

This ending left another group of players speechless.

Is this a happy ending or a bad ending?

"Starting over is definitely a good idea, right?"

What's even crueler is the ending of completely missing out.

This love can only be cherished in memory.

Players may have reached the later stages of a character's storyline, but due to several crucial choices, they miss out on all of them, ultimately leaving only a character card in the animal archive that can no longer be upgraded.

There was no confession, no reunion, not even a formal goodbye.

Of course, there's also the possibility of Ning Chang'an consistently avoiding the truth and refusing psychological counseling: [He remains oblivious to the true nature of things].

The player rejects all invitations and fails to establish any relationships, resulting in the ending: "Alone, leaning on the railing."

There's even a hidden ending related to Dr. Wu: "A doctor cannot heal himself."

The various endings are like opening blind boxes, being discovered one after another by the players.

There are heart-wrenching redemptions, chilling depravity, and absurd misunderstandings...

Senseless.

Everyone was stunned.

Who would have thought that such a heartwarming and seemingly healing game could contain such a vast and complex web-like narrative structure?

Every dialogue choice and every interaction with a prop will, like the butterfly effect, subtly change the final outcome.

"That's outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

"They actually made this kind of game!"

A streamer in the game review section couldn't help but post an angry rebuke, but his tone was full of barely suppressed fervor:

"How dare Chaoxi Games make such a game?! They've wrapped a sweet and comforting zoo-themed sugar coating around a sharp knife about mental illness and self-redemption!"

"You think you're playing a simulation game, but you're actually taking a psychological test! You think you're pursuing a character, but you're actually pursuing yourself!"

"So all I want to ask now is one question."

"How many more endings are there?!"

"..."

If you can still find so many creative ways to play through the game on your first playthrough under unknown circumstances, then you're mistaken.

What if we took all the truth with us, and understood the pain behind those characters... and went back to those seemingly joyful daily routines again?

What kind of subtext is hidden in every seemingly casual conversation?

What about a second playthrough?

This game is like a bottomless black hole; once you step in, you can forget about ever getting out intact!

It was 10 p.m.

Unsurprisingly, the seemingly nonsensical title "Love Requires Talking to People" immediately became a trending topic on Weibo!

#LoveShouldBeTalkedToSomeoneEndingAwards#

#Talking about depression when dating#

Countless netizens who had never played the game clicked on these trending topics and were aroused by the interesting storylines and clips.

What kind of game is this? There are so many storylines; it seems like different people have different experiences!

[I can't take it anymore, watching them go crazy is too funny, I'm going to buy one and try it out right now!]

[This is exactly the kind of plot twist I love! A second playthrough with the truth already revealed? This setup is amazing, I have to try it out!]

So, the real essence of this game lies in the second playthrough? No way, my liver has grown back! I need to speedrun it too!
