Multi-dimensional assessment, intuitively choose the right topic for you~
Welcome to the [Chamber of Secrets] Theme Evaluation Column!
It has been two years since the death of his wife Mary,
Lately I kept hearing her calling in my dreams:
"Do you remember me?"
I'm right there.
That place you know is waiting for you. ”
Mary's figure is clearly visible,
She sat on that bed and looked at me.
I have to go back,
Back to ALCHEMILLA HOSPITAL.
Hangzhou Dark Star Original Super Secret Room
Misty Town
Scene atmosphere: ★★★★★
Highly restore the "barren" atmosphere of Silent Hill, shrouded in thick fog, to create a unique American hospital scene ——
The story of "Mist Town" takes place in an abandoned hospital, although the secret rooms that use hospital scenes have been "countless", but the setting of "Mist Town" gives us a completely different feeling.
Different from the setting that focuses on the details of the ward, "Mist Town" focuses on restoring the "emptiness" and "desolation" of the abandoned hospital - as soon as you enter the main scene of the hospital, you can see a "bottomless" corridor through the nurse's desk, and the surrounding area is full of old decorations, and when you close your eyes, you can see the people in the corridors of the former hospital, and when you open your eyes, it is an empty and dilapidated scene, and the atmosphere of American horror suddenly rises, as if you are in a textured film movie.
Another major feature of the scene is the "fog". From the moment we take off the blindfold, we are shrouded in a thick fog, which seems to never dissipate, with different brightness and color lights, everything in sight is looming, creating a full sense of mystery. Being in it, it is as if you have really come to Silent Hill, which can be said to have broken the dimensional wall and highly restored the scene of the "inner world".
Plot presentation: ★★★★★
Whether it is the "original party" or players who have not touched Silent Hill, they can get a good plot viewing experience -
The theme is about the players accompanying their friends back to the abandoned hospital in search of the truth about the death of their dead wife. The large frame is adapted from the game Silent Hill 2, with some reasonable treatment to make it more suitable for presentation in the Chamber of Secrets.
In terms of plot expression, there are almost no long texts that require players to read and understand throughout the whole process, avoiding the cramming plot narrative. Instead, through the interaction and interpretation of NPCs, the truth is gradually revealed, which is very easy to understand the plot, and can also be naturally and reasonably reversed under sufficient preparation.
The main theme of the plot is still relatively deep, and after the end of the game, you will still be immersed in it and savor some of the detailed metaphors. It can be seen that the designers are meticulous and sincere in their consideration of the plot. Whether it is a game party or a chamber player who has never been exposed to Silent Hill, they can fully understand the plot and get a good "movie watching" experience
Interactive Experience: ★★★★ ☆
"Human flesh walkie-talkie" style full interaction, no clear guidance without drama -
In order to allow players to complete the experience without drama, the theme abandons walkie-talkie guidance and instead leads the player through the entire process by an NPC. It is worth boasting that the role setting of this NPC is more clever, he is not just a "tool man", but a protagonist who is highly integrated with the plot, whether it is the guidance of the player or the behavior logic of various operations, he can justify himself in the end, reasonable and without bugs. Even in the process of interaction, there will be a lot of plot details that are worth mining, so the more interaction with this NPC, the more thorough and comprehensive the understanding of the plot will be.
Guiding NPCs to the player's interactive feedback is also very in place, will try to "rain and dew evenly dip", to take care of each player's sense of experience and participation. Of course, this NPC also has another "wonderful use", that is, he can accompany the nurse on a single-player mission when he is too scared! This setting cleverly avoids the problem that timid players will miss the wonderful interpretation because of fear, and at the same time, more dramatic interaction can be generated on the way to accompany the single person, and the experience is bursting!
In addition to the full escort of guided NPCs, there will also be a "chosen son" during the game, who can enjoy a more novel single-player interaction, while other players can "watch" all this outside the glass window. Goose Pu can only say that this interaction has a strong sense of substitution, which can remind people of the fear of being dominated by the nurse sisters when they were young
Mechanism Flow: ★★★★
Light puzzle solving, heavy experience, full process, including favorability system and multiple ending settings——
Misty Town weakens the puzzle-solving part and focuses on the "adventure experience". Not only there are routine operations such as seeking objects and hiding, but also have a high degree of freedom and need to find their own way to attack the link, you can achieve it through A way, you can also find A way, the solution to a certain problem is not the only one, as long as it is reasonable to achieve the purpose, as if it is really an adventure, the experience is very full.
What is more special is the multi-ending setting in the theme, and the choice of ending is not limited to the choice of a key node, but also introduces the NPC favorability mechanism throughout the process. Interaction with NPCs, or the degree of contribution and performance of individuals in expeditions, will affect the NPC's liking for the character, and thus determine which ending.
The setting of this whole mechanism is still very interesting, but Goose Pu still has to be weak and weak: the current favorability level is still only silently scored in the mind of the NPC, which may make the player question whether it is fair. If there is a visual calculation criterion to tell the player, the player may have a greater sense of identification with the mechanism and will be more involved
By the way, quietly tell everyone that there are still many details in "Mist Town" Easter eggs and hidden plots, so don't miss any details. Maybe the identity props issued before admission can also become the key
NPC Deduction: ★★★★ ☆
NPC "Wen Wu Shuang Quan", plot interpretation or frightened out of the haunt are very good -
The interpretation of NPCs in "Misty Town" is mainly divided into two categories: one is the frightening performance of the "monster" NPC, and the other is the plot performance. Both of these renditions bring a sense of surprise to Goose Poof!
The scary NPCs in Mist Town follow the classic characters in Silent Hill, nurses & triangle heads, and before they appear, they are accompanied by deafening air defense sirens. There is no dirty scare throughout the game, and the two NPCs also walk the role setting at all times - the nurse's posture is twisted, haunted, and often silently appears in places you don't expect, producing a strong sense of oppression, even if there is no chase, it also makes people have a strong desire to escape; and the triangle head is tall, making a huge noise everywhere he goes, with the lights, and there is a hint of handsomeness in addition to the panic (?). ）
The plot interpretation part is also very good, goose poof this time to open a more warm emotional ending, so focus on the emotional drama, see the entanglement and reluctance between the male and female protagonists, emotional expression is very in place. As for the other endings, it seems that you can still see the fight or blackening? This has to wait for the goose masters to unlock it themselves
Overall, the NPC interpretation of "Misty Town" is full of high-end feelings. Although it happened right in front of you, it seems that you are really watching a live-action movie, and the player walks into it and becomes a character with a full texture.
