Players Share Their Experiences

Silly group member A:

"Skyhill is unlocked! Let's go, guys!"

"Holy crap! 130 yuan! What the hell?! That's so expensive!"

In a game chat group, two messages suddenly popped up, attracting the attention of other silly group members.

Silly group member B:

"130 yuan!? Holy crap, I've been betrayed! I pre-ordered it for 298 yuan!!! The developers are utterly heartless!! They betrayed players on the very day the game was released!!"

Silly group member A:

"298 yuan? Are you kidding me? It clearly says 260 yuan with a 50% discount, so it's 130 yuan, but that's too expensive!"

Silly group member C:

"260 yuan? -50%? Dude, did I buy a fake game? It clearly says 298 yuan on the website, with no discount. Take a screenshot and see for yourself."

Several silly group members:

"Yes, yes! It's 298 yuan for all of us."

Silly group member A:

"I'll show you a screenshot; I'm not lying to you."

Silly Administrator A:

"Zhao? You're from the IGame Platform? This is Cyber Platform discussion group! Get out of here!"

Silly group member A:

"???"

Silly member A has been removed from this group.

Silly Administrator A:

"Let's go, everyone! Anyone want to play online? I'm a little scared playing alone. Let's gather everyone on UU Voice! The game supports a maximum of 3 players. I'll create a room. Join after you've finished the Prologue!"

This Sunday is destined to be anything but peaceful for gamers.

After a barrage of gameplay demonstrations, behind-the-scenes map reveal, and pre-release previews, anticipation for Skyhill has reached an unprecedented peak.

So at the moment it unlocked at midnight, players around the world crashed the Cyber Platform servers!

This has resulted in a large number of players who did not pre-order being unable to pay!

A large number of players who pre-ordered the app are unable to download it!

The incident caused the official Cyber Platform to undergo emergency maintenance, and it took half an hour to return to normal.

However, because of the fact that this is 'meat that is about to be in our mouths but cannot be eaten for the time being', the players' expectations have risen again.

Fortunately, we'll wait until the platform is restored.

Players can finally make payments.

Players who pre-ordered the app started downloading it and then stayed up all night.

Some timid players, after purchasing and downloading the game, would resist playing it and instead sleep in before starting to play during the day.

So, at noon on Sunday, it was lunchtime.

The Fourth Calamity Club experienced an unprecedented surge in traffic.

Countless players posted and discussed their experiences in the forum.

[Attention pre-order players! If you hear any terrifying noises, use your "Face Protection" ability immediately! Use it first! This is a lesson learned the hard way! I heard a noise on the Floor 94 and used White Candle to see where the ghost was, only to see myself through the ghost's eyes! I died instantly!!!]

Does anyone know where the weapons are? This newbie is really scared to death. I've been playing all morning and I'm still on the 99th Floor. My food is almost gone, sob sob sob.

I've noticed that the lower the floor, the more monsters there are. The first time I played, I ran downstairs without thinking, only to be surrounded by several monsters on the 84th floor. I'll try stealth this afternoon and sneak down.

[This randomness is driving me crazy! I went into my friend's room, and I was randomly assigned to the 27th floor. As soon as I stepped outside, there were four or five monsters walking around in the hallway. I was so scared I didn't dare leave the room, and my friend didn't dare come to my rescue. He even told me to die and start over. But when I started over, I was randomly assigned to the 15th floor again, and there were even more monsters!]

[Does anyone know what happened? Right after the Prologue ended, I stepped outside and, without warning, the entire floor folded up like a sheet of paper. My character wasn't in good condition and couldn't run fast, so I was completely crushed by the floor.]

[Looking for a game modifier for 100 RMB!]

Besides these discussions, there were also exchanges about monster types and attack methods.

Because the game is highly random, it's impossible to memorize the patterns.

So they are posting about the types of monsters they have encountered, in order to warn others to be vigilant and avoid them.

[Warning! If you see any murals or graffiti on floors 91-85, run! It's a new kind of monster, possibly 2D Creature! It's invisible and intangible, appearing with strange whispers, and it doesn't distinguish friend from foe. Its ability is to flatten people; my girlfriend was turned into a mural by it!]

[Special Warning! If you hear laughter in the restrooms on 91st Floor, do not enter! There is a Female Ghost in one of the random stalls who will forcibly drag you into the hole and squeeze you into a pulp.]

[WARNING! WARNING! You will randomly encounter an NPC in the Staircase 91st Floor. They will ask for your help to rescue their daughter from a random floor. Do not accept! This is a trap quest; escape immediately! Otherwise, it will keep you in an infinite loop on that floor, no matter where you go up or down! The only way to start over is to commit suicide!]

[If you see a doll Annabelle in a hotel room (screenshot. jpg), remember, whatever you do, don't touch it! Otherwise, it will secretly follow you throughout the entire game! Every NPC Event will turn into a death event because of this doll. Your weapons will malfunction, the supplies you loot will mysteriously disappear, and it will still be there even if you reload and start over. Only deleting the save file can truly get rid of it!]

[Can you believe I was hit and killed by a steam train on the 83rd Floor?! The whole floor was filled with the sound of train horns. Although there were no monsters, seeing a train running through the dark aisle was just too damn shocking! There weren't even any tracks!]

After a morning of playing, players shared and discussed their experiences on various communities and forums.

Each thread has a large number of replies.

Some expressed sympathy, others shared similar experiences, some shared solutions, and still others expressed gratitude.

Of course, there are also water-based stickers.

However, apart from these ordinary players, the real pros are still striving.

The speedrun group of the Fourth Calamity Club is called Team V.

Inside, you'll find seasoned gaming veterans.

They set multiple speedrun records and posted their playthroughs on Danmu Network.

It's fair to say that once a new game is released, they can produce a walkthrough video in as little as one day and as long as four days to prove their skill.

Aside from some long-running RPGs, they can be found in almost all other games.

They are considered a relatively well-known team in the gaming community.

Now that Skyhill is such a famous game, they naturally wouldn't let it go.

However, since the game allows a maximum of 3 players online, they split into small teams to complete the strategy.

The team that goes down the most floors will have their video posted.

But after a whole morning, even the fastest Team T, had only managed to get down to the 77th Floor.

They encountered big trouble on this floor.

The staircase leading to the 76th Floor collapsed.

It was pitch black and bottomless.

This is equivalent to a break in the chain, making it impossible to continue walking.

In this situation, the only option is to find the floor's electrical distribution room to restore power, and then repair the elevator to go down.

At this moment, in UU Voice chat, Team T's discussions began.

"What the hell! The development team probably anticipated that players would blindly go downstairs, so they destroyed the staircase, forcing players to restore power and take the elevator down."

"Yeah, isn't this a complete waste of time? What do we do now? There's no power from the 91st Floor all the way down to the 77th Floor, and we can't go down. Are we supposed to go back up?"

"I'm wondering if I should just jump? What if I land on the 76th Floor?"

"That's one way, but it's best to be careful. Drop something down and see if it makes a sound. If the sound is close and loud, you can jump down. If the sound is far away and quiet, or there's no sound at all, then you'll have to go up."

The speedrunner, Old Monkey, moved a decorative vase from the stairwell and threw it down without saying a word.

No sound came out.

There was no sound of it breaking, no sound of it hitting the ground, no noise at all.

This proves that it is very deep below.

Upon seeing this, even the three speedrunners couldn't help but curse in unison.

"You production team, you're a bunch of idiots!"
