Control Failure
Brother Banana's videos have gone viral.
In just 12 hours since its release, it has already garnered nearly 3 million views.
The video's high quality and explosive content attracted the attention of countless players.
The game's development team, Shuo Guang, personally reposted and liked the post, further amplifying the sensation.
Doesn't this indirectly admit that what's said in the video is true?
As a result, a large number of posts on various topics began to appear in response to the Fourth Catastrophe content.
How would you evaluate the Federal Bureau of Control depicted in Ba Nana's video?
[Can someone explain what Controlled Object are? I didn't understand that video at all.]
A mysterious organization is hidden within four games—terrifying! The protagonists of all four games are members of this organization—truly terrifying!
Can anyone tell me if the Federal Bureau of Control is good or bad? It feels like a cult to me.
The Control Bureau is too indifferent to life, which may not be good, but the main characters within it may not be.
As these types of inquiry-based posts increase, a large number of questions appear on Bihou and The Fourth Catastrophe websites simply by entering the keywords ' Control Bureau ' and 'Federation'.
There was a wide variety of things to see, and the questions asked were all quite unusual.
It's truly shameful.
Each thread has a large number of player comments and discussions.
"I bet the next game will also be made by the same people Control Bureau!"
"Hey upstairs, do we even need to gamble? Anyone with their toes could figure that out, right?"
"I just want to know what the protagonist's identity and status will be in the next game. We already know that the protagonist of * Dark Forest * is an investigator, the protagonist of * 21 Points * is a special agent, the protagonist of * The Visage * is a pharmaceutical researcher, and the protagonist of * Skyhill * is D-Class Personnel. Could the protagonist of the next game be some kind of leader or something?"
"You're overthinking it. It's likely security personnel or scientists."
"What I'm more curious about is the concept of Controlled Object. Now we know the function of the Illusion Helmet and that 0682 is an evolved lizard. But nobody knows what W-FBC-0173 is yet. It's so mysterious. I wonder if there are other Controlled Object hidden in the backstory of Skyhill."
"Hidden? I bet the production team didn't even set it up themselves. I suspect that the numbers Z-FBC-0825, W-FBC-0173, and 0682 were just something the higher-ups came up with on a whim, just to create suspense! I want to see how the production team will write these Controlled Object later."
"The official team never replies to private messages, damn it. Other game development teams at least reply to a few players, but this one, Shuo Guang just as aloof as a mule."
"Yeah, they never reply to private messages or comments. Damn it, they've made money, their standards have risen, and they look down on us players."
"There's still no news about the new Only Game, but the VR version of Dark Forest is coming out soon. I'm currently waiting for Dark Forest VR and Ji You's Bloody Scientist, and I hope I won't be disappointed."
Amidst the players' enthusiastic discussion, in the office, Meng Shu rested her head on her hand, silently looking at the list of winners sent by Chen An.
This is from the previously released "Skyhill" floor-reaching prize event.
Now, so much time has passed, and the players who arrived at their respective floors first have been counted and selected.
At this moment, the Excel spreadsheet in front of Meng Shu contained very detailed information.
The document contains information on 40 players, including screenshots of their floor numbers, nicknames, phone numbers, bank account numbers, and even their accounts on the Danmu Network.
Just by looking at this form, you can tell that Chen An put a lot of effort into it.
All that's needed is Meng Shu's approval before the money can be transferred to the winning players.
but
Looking at the names on the form, Meng Shu was speechless.
The 40 winning players gave either NPC names or silly names.
Such as large intestine sashimi, the most handsome man under the starry sky, the godfather of leg shaking, the most beautiful child, white Rice Fried Rice, etc.
Meng Shu was speechless.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Although this was expected, seeing it in person still made Meng Shu facepalm.
He could accept just silly names. But what's outrageous is that some of them even have unconventional names!
What do you mean, "Forgot love°", "My existence is a sin╰つ", "Interpreting the pain of misunderstandingつ", etc.
This gave Meng Shu, who is only 24 years old this year, a feeling of Renaissance.
However, it's reassuring that not all of the 40 winning players were idiots.
More than ten of them are normal, using their real names.
However, Meng Shu did not intend to use the players' real names to avoid causing any trouble. If she were to use them, she would use nicknames derived from their real names.
For example, there is a character named Li Xiaohu, whose name can be changed to Ah Hu or Brother Li, etc.
Seeing this, Meng Shu highlighted the players with normal names and added a note below, instructing Chen An to notify these players to provide nicknames that were recognizable from their real names.
but
The name of one of them made him narrow his eyes slightly.
That was a relatively normal name, mixed in with a bunch of silly names.
A'Ti
This name caught Meng Shu's attention slightly.
Next, he looked at the player's screenshots and other information, which were not different from what he had seen before.
After thinking about it, he decided to mark the name with a color and asked Chen An to go and inform them of the name change.
It's not a big deal, it's just that the name A'Ti has found someone more suitable to use it.
After saving the document, I sent it back to Chen An and explained the problem to him. Then, he closed his eyes and connected with the system.
At this moment, deep within his consciousness, his data panel reappeared.
Planning: 60+7 (average)
Program: 60+20 (Excellent)
Art: 60+5 (Average)
Music: 60+2 (Normal)
Dark Forest: 2.37 million people have been frightened (an additional 200,000).
21 Points: 10.16 million people have been frightened (5.96 million new cases).
Visage: 1.67 million people have been frightened (an increase of 1.39 million).
Skyhill: 3.69 million people have been frightened.
Total Fear Points: 17,940,000
Seeing this panel, Meng Shu thought it was acceptable.
The stat was adjusted, with 2 points added, making it 7 points now.
The program increased his score by 8 points, turning his ability from 'average' to 'excellent'!
Upon seeing this significant change, Meng Shu immediately burst into laughter.
This is understandable, as Skyhill is a 2D side-scrolling down-the-floor game.
He remade it into a large-scale VR game and added many random events to enrich the game.
This time, thanks to the game, they achieved a qualitative leap.
With her eyes closed, Meng Shu could clearly feel the improvement in her abilities.
He believes that with 80 attribute points, he can create a decent, high-quality game even without a monkey engine.
Of course, he needs the help of a team.
However, this program value of 80 is real!
It gave him the feeling that 'one person is an army'.
In addition, the art skill improved by 1 point, while the music skill did not improve at all.
This made Meng Shu shrug.
The music production was entirely handled by the distributor Infinite Network Entertainment; he was only responsible for approving and reviewing it.
Therefore, it's understandable that the attributes haven't increased at all.
In addition to the four main attributes, the Fear Points also achieved a good result.
The increase in "Dark Forest" was slightly less.
The Visage gained 1.39 million new users, which is a decent increase.
Skyhill is very popular because it's sold globally. Now, many days have passed, and the game's sales, starting from 1.44 million copies on the first day, have now reached approximately 3.69 million.
The most outrageous one is "21 Points"!
An incredible 5.96 million new people! It's simply unbelievable!
However, Meng Shu thought about it again. This "21 Points" game is a free game, and many players play it for free, so it's not surprising that the number of downloads is so much higher than the number of sales.
After all, the number of downloads on the IGame Platform has reached 9.86 million.
After checking his attributes, Meng Shu opened the store and started choosing the next game.
He wasn't in a rush to develop the VR version of "Dark Forest"; he planned to take his time.
Although the game's release date has been announced, that doesn't stop him from doing other things.
Now, after the groundwork laid by four games and the viral analysis by that content creator on the internet,
The clues that Meng Shu planted at the beginning are gradually coming to light.
Players dug deep, asked questions, and analyzed the situation.
But there was never a good conclusion.
As a result, Meng Shu's private messages are always at 99+, filled with curious messages from players.
but
Even if the settings he planted in four games are discovered, so what? He can still bury them and only reveal the tip of the iceberg to leave people with much to think about.
So his next game has been decided.
Meng Shu's gaze was focused on a game in the system store that was extremely small, less than 300MB in size.
Control Failure
The original game was titled * SCP: Containment Breach *, so changing it to * Control Failure * was unavoidable. I will replace all instances of "a certain organization" with similar terms. The core concept remains the same; only the vocabulary has changed. Without these changes, you wouldn't be able to see this book.
