To be honest, I wanted to give the game a bad rating before I hit the real ending, but when I opened the hidden ending, I found that the game was not so simple.
The idea of the game is very good, the player will incarnate as "I", that is, the brave in the world of words, trying to find a way to survive in the world of words and eventually defeat the dragon.
For example, when you walk into a chamber of secrets, although the in-game narrative clearly tells you that "there is no door here", because it is a word game, you can still walk into the "door" word in the narrative and leave.
The core mechanism of "word games" is "words", which use "words" to shape puzzles and people in the game world. Not only can you walk through the literal door, but you can also unlock various writing abilities continuously. "Delete words", "push words", "split words", "group words", change the original semantics, create a rich change of puzzle solving, this is the core gameplay of this game.
Dismantle the "part" and then combine the "person" and the "flat" to become the "partial"
This is a game that belongs only to Chinese characters, only Chinese characters can show such a way of playing, I have to admit that this game is very creative, and the creators can think of such a game expression is indeed worthy of our praise.
But such a creativity is still slightly boring and monotonous in the world of words, the puzzles about the game are actually only the only solutions set by the creators, more trial and error can also be passed, and large sections of dialogue performances are not lifted.
In the second half of the game, I was tired of the clichéd Dragon Quest story, and I just wanted to pass the level quickly and didn't want to see the big paragraphs of text tricks.
By the end of the story, the creators surprised me twice, the first time was that the brave were doomed to fail, and then the player's avatar "man" stepped forward as a brave person, reversed the previous story one by one, and finally defeated the dragon.
The second time involved the core spoilers of the game (spoilers are bolded, please watch with caution).
After the brave defeated the dragon to save the princess, she found that she was under a curse and could not be truly saved by the brave.
Faced with this inexhaustible ending in the game, the brave man chooses to become the author, the screen turns, and suddenly arrives at the text editing interface in the background, at which time we learn that "Word Game" is a game created by the author for his daughter.
The author's daughter suffered from a language disorder, and slowly could not even say normal words, and the author decided to freeze her when he could not cure her, hoping that one day in the future he would be able to cure her.
He kept revising the text of the story, but he was powerless to change the ending of his daughter in reality, the daughter could no longer see the story he wrote, and he could not determine the final ending of the story, accompanied by music, after watching the author and his daughter's past, the story came to an abrupt end.
The story of the game alone is actually unremarkable, and the end of the story in the game has not changed the status quo, whether it is the brave and princess in the story, or the author and daughter...
The 3D picture of the text is stunning
But as players, we can see the good intentions of the author's father in the game, why he wants to make a word game, why he emphasizes the power of words, this game is here to impress me.
(Spoiler end)
After quitting the game, I found that there was a new folder on the desktop with two texts, which recorded the final finale of the "Word Game", and I will not spoil the content, leaving it to players who want to experience the game.
I have to say that family affection is the most touching thing in the world, because I am willing to give this game a good review for this ending, and I hope that everyone can be treated gently by the world.
