A Stunning Game

Game New World?

Wasn't that the self-media outlet I had contacted for promotion?

"I see! Sure, when exactly?"

Wang Chuan was a little surprised when he heard the other party's words, but he quickly calmed down.

Because he knew that The Stanley Parable was an excellent game.

What surprised him, though, was how quickly Game New World had responded.

"All right, then let's not wait for another day. Let's do it today. We'll head out right away."

Xia Xiao sounded delighted when she heard that from the other end of the call.

After unlocking several endings in a row, she had been caught by her supervisor.

To avoid getting scolded, and because she genuinely believed this game was a groundbreaking masterpiece, she took the opportunity to recommend it to her supervisor.

Before long, she received a new assignment: interview the game's creator and learn more about the story behind it.

Wang Chuan happily put down the phone, feeling rather pleased.

Though they were doing it for the news, they would still be promoting his game!

Besides, all the advertising money had come back. Who wouldn't be happy to get something for free?

More importantly, he had already used his item. If he didn't draw in players quickly, wouldn't he lose everything?

"Ah... an interview?"

At that moment, a shocked voice came from behind him. It was his deskmate.

"Uh, yeah!"

Wang Chuan was speechless. When had this guy gotten here? He hadn't made a sound. He scared the hell out of me.

"Holy shit, Wang Chuan, you've made it big! You're about to become a god."

"By the way, what's your game called? I'll go support you when the time comes."

"Hehehe, my deskmate is becoming a god, so I..."

Wang Chuan walked alongside his deskmate, Xiao Ming, while enduring his nonstop barrage of words.

He casually nodded, feeling speechless. He wasn't even this excited, so what the hell was Xiao Ming so excited about?

"The game's called The Stanley Parable. It's on the official platform. The news should be out this afternoon, so just wait for it."

After casually saying goodbye, Wang Chuan headed to the Library.

Most interviews were conducted online these days, so somewhere quiet like the Library was perfect.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ming excitedly headed to the internet cafe.

Well, his laptop had broken down from gaming, and he had sent it out for repairs.

"The Stanley Parable? What a strange name for a game! But since my deskmate made it, I have to support it."

Rubbing his hands excitedly, Xiao Ming found the game.

So it was an RPG game?

As expected of my deskmate. This kind of game was simple and easy to pick up, definitely an excellent choice.

Xiao Ming opened the game while quietly thinking to himself.

What Xiao Ming didn't know was that RPG games were precisely the most common type made by developers because they were simple and easy to pick up.

As a result, this type of game had a huge audience. As long as it met the basic standard, making enough to get by was no problem.

There would always be players willing to pay for it.

But whether it could take the market route and officially make someone a Game Producer was another question.

"Five bucks? That's practically cabbage prices. Looks like Wang Chuan is going straight for the Game Producer title."

After clicking purchase, Xiao Ming began downloading the game.

During that time, he did nothing else. He simply waited.

After all, his main purpose wasn't to play the game, but to see just how good The Stanley Parable really was.

Good enough to give Wang Chuan the confidence to enter the market, and even earn an interview from Game New World.

"I'm curious..."

After entering the game, Xiao Ming proceeded step by step.

Just like Xia Xiao, the game editor from Game New World, he made the same choice at the same point.

He activated the Freedom Ending.

He listened to the Narrator and sacrificed the player's freedom for Stanley's freedom.

The game restarted~

"This should be a hidden ending. Since it restarted, that means this isn't the true ending."

Having also studied game development, Xiao Ming had his own judgment.

He keenly analyzed the game's defining feature.

"But why does this feel so strange? Still, multiple endings are pretty common in RPG games. Next time, I'll make different choices and see what happens."

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ming restarted the game.

This time, he didn't listen to the Narrator. He even deliberately went against him.

Between the two doors, he chose the left one. Then, instead of going upstairs, he chose to go down.

"Fuck, how did this happen?"

Xiao Ming stared in shock at the insane ending, his heart pounding wildly.

If the game hadn't had multiple endings, he would have thought he was playing a horror game.

"This design is incredible..."

More than half an hour later, Xiao Ming raised his head with a complicated expression. Looking at the game restarting once again on the screen, he couldn't help sighing.

Fifteen endings already, and every single one was completely different!

Not one of them was the true ending. Just how many endings did this game have?

Xiao Ming was starting to lose his mind.

Boys' Dormitory.

"I wonder how the results are doing..."

Wang Chuan opened his sleepy eyes and muttered.

After finishing the interview with Game New World at the Library, he had come back for an afternoon nap.

He had spent days and nights making the game before this, so now was the perfect time to catch up on sleep.

"Wang Chuan, I played The Stanley Parable. It's absolutely unbelievable. I can't believe there could be a game like this."

"Wang Chuan, how many endings does your game have? Why can't I find the real ending?"

"Wang Chuan, Game New World's article is out! The Stanley Parable already has over five hundred comments on the official platform. Your game is blowing up..."

The moment he turned on his computer, he saw several messages from Xiao Ming.

And judging by this, Xiao Ming seemed even more excited than Wang Chuan himself.

He didn't reply. He was afraid Xiao Ming would talk his ear off if he did.

"Mm, I'd better check the backend first."

Unlike people like Xiao Ming, who could only learn about things indirectly through the news and platform, Wang Chuan could directly check the Pangu Editor backend.

He could see the data much more clearly.

On the official platform, player downloads had already exceeded three thousand.

There were also over a hundred reviews, with ninety-eight percent currently being positive.

The few negative reviews were because there were too many endings and players couldn't find the true one.

Wang Chuan wasn't ashamed of that. On the contrary, he was proud of it.

The players' suffering was his happiness, and the players' happiness was his suffering.

That was what made a qualified Game Producer.

Still, he knew that the game's art was lacking.

In normal game development, artists handled the art.

Unlike him, who, because he was poor, had no choice but to use the Pangu Editor for most of it.
