After Shuo Guang announced the pre-sale preview date of "Dark Forest VR", Infinite Network Entertainment followed suit and posted a notice on Weibo at 11 a. m. the next day.

To put it simply, on the day "Dark Forest VR" is released, the original PC version and the console version of "Dark Forest" will be given away.

At the same time, the original version of "Dark Forest" also adds multiple languages, allowing foreign players to experience this premium product without any barriers.

In addition, in order to prevent players who spent 69 yuan to buy the original version of "Dark Forest" a year ago from feeling backstabbed, after internal communication, it was decided to provide veteran benefits to this group of players, namely a Desert Eagle with 72 bullets to tide you over in the early stage.

The details of how to donate items are as follows.

After reading the notice of Infinite Network Entertainment, players who had purchased it at the original price of 69 yuan were happy.

Yay!

Buy early and enjoy early, buy late and enjoy discounts, and if you don't buy, you'll get it for free. This sentence is only true in the first paragraph!

The game company did a great job and didn't backstab us for buying it at the original price.

At the same time, buying the VR version and getting the original version will not offend new players.

It's the best of both worlds!

Desert Eagle with 72 rounds of ammunition? very good.

This is a life-saving magic weapon in the VR version.

The players are in a good mood.

Although this so-called 72-round Desert Eagle is nothing in the original version.

But in the VR version, no one knows what will be there.

It's easier to survive with such an early-stage hot weapon, right?

As a result, players' comments and reposts began to spontaneously help the news spread.

As for Infinite Network Entertainment himself, after Weibo sent the notice, he also posted it on overseas T-shirts simultaneously.

In particular, the sentence "multiple languages" was added, which was bolded and reddish. Foreign players were extremely surprised and kept shouting "I bought it" in the comment area! This is incredible! I like the developer Huaxia so much.

In this way, time passed day by day under the expectant eyes of the players.

until

Two days go by in a blink of an eye!

On July 25, 2023, the pre-sale preview is finally here!

7:50 that night

Zai Zong sat in front of the computer and took a deep breath while looking at his crowded live broadcast room.

There are still 10 minutes until 8 o'clock, and he hasn't started the broadcast yet, just showing the standby animation.

It's not that he delayed it on purpose, but he secretly watched his house managers collude in the live broadcast room!

House Manager 1: "Buy it and leave it, buy it and leave it! How many minutes will it take for Brother Zai to be frightened and yelled? Let's start the guessing! The top ten who guess correctly will get 100 red envelopes!"

Fan 1: "I bet I'll be scared and scream after 20 minutes of swimming!"

Fan 2: "I bet you can play for 30 minutes!"

Fan 3: "I bet for 15 minutes!"

Passerby 1: "I bet within 2 hours!"

House Manager 1: "Go away, come and block this passerby!"

Passerby 1: "?"

Looking at the group of animals, Zai Zong coughed twice, opened Cyber Platform, and entered the "Dark Forest VR" game that had been downloaded long ago.

Then, I took out my own VR equipment and debugged it. After confirming that it was correct, I started wearing it one by one.

After everything is ready, the game also comes to the 'press any key' interface to continue.

Zai Zong took another deep breath and swallowed for what he was about to experience.

After all

Even media commentators have said that "Dark Forest VR" is probably scarier than previous games.

As for how terrifying it is, I am about to experience it now

He moved the mouse and changed the title of the live broadcast room to "Will Kangkang VR version Dark Forest scare me?" and then clicked the broadcast button.

Suddenly, the original standby animation in the live broadcast room suddenly disappeared, replaced by a black screen with 'press any key'.

Looking at the sudden scene, the barrage area became active again after being quiet for a few seconds.

"Brother Zai is here!"

"Zai Zong Good evening!"

"Brother Zai, hurry up and stop the ink stains!"

"Brother Zai, hurry up and show us the new game!"

"Dark Forest, hey, Dark Forest, hey hey, I don't dare to play but I dare to watch."

"You are entering the game by riding a horse!"

Facing the rapid barrage, Zai Zong pretended to be cool and coughed twice.

"Good evening, brothers. Welcome to watch my live broadcast on time. Everyone knows what will be broadcast tonight. It says it in the title."

"So let's stop chatting and start playing. I guess everyone is impatient."

After saying that, an eye-catching message worth 50 yuan floated by.

It said: OK, little dog, don't be too scared to sleep tonight.

Seeing this, Zai Zong immediately refuted.

"Nm, brother, you are looking down on me. Which of Weiyou's Horror Gamess have I not played?"

"Indeed, when we first started playing, we were timid and scared."

"But now I have developed a pair of courage, okay? No matter how cowardly you are, after playing so many Horror Games, you should be bolder! I am no longer afraid of those monsters, okay, except for Jump Scare, all psychological fears are sprinkled with water."

Just as he finished speaking, another eye-catching message worth 30 yuan passed by.

It says: You'd better not be scared. I believe you, brother, and I paid 100 yuan.

Zai Zong straightened his back after seeing it.

"Then don't worry, brother, if you trust me so much, even if I really scream, I will turn off the microphone first and won't let you lose."

When the audience in the comment area heard this, they immediately began to comment again.

What, right, right, right.

What congratulations to this brother for losing 100 yuan.

Why set a flag before the game even starts? It's really yours.

I would rather believe that Zai Zong has a combat power of 500,000 and has three transformations than believe his nonsense.

Looking at the rapid barrage area, Zai Zong had no intention of responding and could only concentrate on the game.

After all, it's already 8 o'clock now. He has to finish the broadcast at 12 o'clock, otherwise he won't be able to sleep tonight.

"Okay, brothers, it's time to enter the game, it's time to enter the game."

Zai Zong spoke loudly and came to the center of the room to put on the head-mounted display device.

After it is stable, press the handle button.

The next second, the game responds.

The audience and fans in the live broadcast room couldn't help but subconsciously kept silent, focusing on watching this much-anticipated remake of the game.

Since I entered the game early, the images of the logo and trademark had already been shown one by one before Zai Zong was broadcast.

Now, here comes the game content to the point!

At this time, a white warning slowly appeared in the dark game screen.

[Warning: This game has horror themes and a depressing atmosphere. It is recommended for people over 18 years old and with a certain degree of self-control to play. Elderly people and people with heart disease or asthma are advised to close the game immediately! The production team is not responsible for any physical or mental problems caused by this game!]

It's a regular warning in the game, and Zai Zong is used to it.

He didn't care much before because many games had such instructions.

But in Only Game, if you dare not listen, then I wish you good luck.

The warning message faded quickly.

Instead, there were two large white characters.

[Prologue]

Zai Zong swallowed, stared at the screen, and tightly held the two remote sensors in his hands, as if it could bring him some comfort.

He himself didn't understand why he was a little nervous. He had obviously played several Horror Gamess, so logically he should have become bolder.

But what is this called now?

Zai Zong shook his head and continued to look at the game.

At this time, a bloody bandage slowly fell from the black screen.

At the same time, a strange and ethereal music also sounded melodiously.

Along with it, there is a very familiar line.

'I saw hatred and fear in their eyes'

Coming, coming!

Zai Zong stared at the black screen with his eyes widened, his expression also excited and expectant at this moment.

In the game, as if to express the form of this line, a black and white portrait of an old woman slowly appeared on the original black screen.

Her head was wrapped in a dirty towel and her head was lowered.

His face was covered with traces of time and dirt.

His eyes were carefully looking at the direction of the camera, and his timid expression was clearly visible.

But his eyes were full of fear.

Zai Zong was so impressed that he didn't talk much and didn't interact with the fans in the live broadcast room.

Although he had seen this opening animation in the original game a year ago, now that he is watching such a high-definition version in VR, it still feels fresh and strange.

The portrait of the old woman did not last long and slowly faded away.

As for the next line, players who have played the original version will all know what it is.

Sure enough, the next second, familiar words slowly appeared.

'It's like I caused this plague'

In the picture, a new black and white sketch slowly appeared.

content

The painting was of a dry well in an unknown village, with piles of corpses and mosquitoes flying around.

They were both men and women, all skinny as firewood and barely clothed.

It seems that something extremely horrific happened during his lifetime.

"I'm super!"

Zai Zong suddenly exclaimed, yelling "F*ck".

Looking at the black and white sketch in front of him, his eyes widened.

Not that he made a fuss;

This sketch is not available in the original version!

This horse riding is the new opening scene of the VR version!

The production team didn't copy it exactly as it was, they really even redid the opening scene!

While Zai Zong still looked surprised, the game screen did not stop because of him.

The line appears again.

'It's like I'm the source of this painful plague'

The original black and white sketch gradually disappeared.

Instead, there was a new sketch.

That is a forest path.

Several thin men came back towards the camera holding hoes, rakes and other agricultural tools.

Movement, teeth and claws.

The expression is ferocious and terrifying.

It seems that something has been discovered, and a group of people attacked

'I have nowhere to hide and no way to escape. The forest cuts us off from the outside world.'

The black and white sketch appears again.

They were towering trees that blocked out the sky and the sun. They were tightly packed in rows and were as high as the top. They were like towering city walls, which made people despair.

'We can't escape.'

The next second, white light flashed and the screen disappeared.

But Zai Zong once again exclaimed.
