In January 1878, in Texas, the United States, the first reports of UFOs appeared, and since then, until the 1960s, humans slowly developed the concept of "aliens". Since then, the search for life in the starry sky has become an activity that makes human civilization talk about it.
(UFOs were first reported on by the Denison Herald, which referred to UFOs as "saucers," from which the term flying saucers was derived.) ）
But soon, the activity, which had been resembling a "pastime," was overshadowed by a thick haze. The callers were horrified to find that all their calls to the starry sky had sunk into the sea, and that humanity had exhausted all means and had not found a single trace of extraterrestrial life.
So people asked, "Where are those intelligent beings in the starry sky?" Are we lonely in the vast universe? ”
To explore this question, a myriad of thoughts and assumptions have been given, such as the "Fermi Paradox" and the "Great Filter Theory". He has also created countless imaginative literary works, such as Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem" and Arthur Clark's many works, it is no exaggeration to say that the starry sky and aliens are the eternal guests of science fiction. In the science fiction genre of the script killing, they can naturally be seen, just like the seventh "K's game", "Spark".
(The Great Filter theory, which holds that a civilization needs to survive one or more hurdles to become an "interstellar civilization," sets nine possible levels, and we humans are fortunate enough to have survived eight.) ）

content
In the script killing, the most important role of DM is not to review the game and reveal various endings, to control the progress of the game, so that the game can proceed smoothly, is the main responsibility of the DM. Therefore, those large-scale script killings are inseparable from the help of DM. And those scripts that do not need DM, whether online or "K's game" series, generally have a common feature, that is, small size, fast pace, and less content.
"Spark" also has the above several characteristics, the short length makes the character shaping of "Spark" not plump, just an abstract symbol, simply summarizing the characteristics, and does not carry out too detailed description, although this reduces the player's sense of immersion, but speeds up the pace of the game, so that the game will not be too long.
In order to make the plot appear compact and coherent, "Spark" adopts the form of a read-through book. The writing of the story is refreshing and simple, without adding any useless embellishments, it is effortless to read, and the information and timeline of each character are clearly explained in concise words. It ensures the progress of the subsequent story, so that the player can focus on the progress of the game, which is very comfortable.
In the end, "Spark" sets multiple endings, although each ending makes people feel a bit "expected", but there are no bugs throughout the text, and there is very little useless information. There will be a C player in the game who has the most information about the story, and other players who want to understand the complete world view need to peel back the cocoon and correctly restore every detail.
Play
The gameplay of "Spark" is relatively ordinary, and the traditional script killing is not much different, divided into the following links, ice-breaking - public chat - search for evidence - plate murder - light and dark two rounds of attack. On the whole, it is ordinary reasoning and restoration, and the difficulty of the murder is not high, which will not make the players clueless, but the murderer also has many advantages of his own. Overall, the game's balance is good, neither confusing the perpetrator nor leaving the murderer without any room for argument.
"Spark" has designed a total of three rounds of evidence search, the evidence card is installed in three different card slots, each round of evidence will open the corresponding card slot, each person can get a certain number of clue cards. In order to compress the game time, "Spark" does not set up a private chat link, so the clue card is basically possible or mandatory to disclose, and there will be no situation where someone hides clues to hinder the progress of the game. The description of the clue card is also simple and straightforward, so that the player does not need to spend a lot of time to discern the content of the clue card.
Finally, the "Spark" shooting link is set up a light and a dark two rounds, different combinations of attack will bring different endings, in the absence of DM, players can also easily review according to the field information, get a good game experience.
summary
"Spark" can be described as "although the sparrow is small, all the organs are complete", although its volume is small and the story is not complicated, but the clear narrative and reasonable murder still make it extremely playable, which is a very suitable book for mengxin.
If you are a drama player who likes to act or a faucet player who likes emotional experience, it is not recommended to try this script, because this script really has no deductive elements, and the emotional drama is almost zero. But pineapple-headed players who like hardcore books can use it for a simple mind gymnastics, and the experience is still very good.
